[QUOTE="William drake, post: 3368612, member: 49143"] Well, I will start with this. I was DM'ing once, and during that game, which ended up being a three year campagin, my father died. Everyone wondered if I was going to keep DM'ing...and I did, but it was different. He wasn't invloved. For you, I would say this..and dont take it the wrong way. Id stop...the game was a game, now it is a sweet memory which you can share with Kim. It was a game, wait, and then play again, but to continue I think would be in pore taste. You're friend wasn't someone who just stepped out of the game, she's gone. And the game is just a game, its not like you were going to the Super Bowl and she was a fellow player, or that the three of you were heading to Africa for the first and last time in your life...its D&D. Sorry, those are my thoughts. and to explain..I continued to game to be with friends and slowly get over my fathers death; I wasn't playing in memory of him, and I don't think you can say "well, lets play for Jesse" its not that important, I don't think she would want you to go on as if it were a great struggle. I think, what she'd want, like my father wanted...is for me, and for you in this case, is to love and take time to know what good things you have: ie, your gf. And that is why I continued to game, it wasnt for the game...who cares, I could pick it up later, or never. It was because of my friends. I'm sorry for you loss. And I hope I didnt offend you.
