Ok here is the thing:
We have a D&D gaming group of 5-6 members. Before we started playing D&D we were already friends. One day one of us came up with a PHB, a DMguide and a MM for D&D 2nd edition and we liked it. We started playing regularly and so we grouped 1-2 times a week and played D&D, but most of all we just had fun you know. For 2 years know we didn't just play D&D but we had a bit of fun snacking, drinking, laughing and just relaxed. Untill recently that is.
Our regular DM was dissatisfied with playing for the fun of it, and wanted to start a game more focussed on roleplaying instead of our normal 'hack 'n slash' game. Some of us liked the idea of roleplaying, some of us didn't like it. The DM and one of the players in particular got into an argument and the outcome was that they don't wanna game with each other anymore.
The DM now wants to start a game without the one player, but I'm kinda convinced we shouldn't let D&D come between our friendship and let D&D rest for a month or so, even though I really like the game. We can do a bunch of other stuff like we did before D&D right? (take out the ol' RISK game out of the closet f.e !)
What do you guys think we should do?
Tnx for the advise...
