[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3841818, member: 30035"] I've never dropped out of a game as a player. But I've had several campaigns I was involved in that were dropped by the GM. In one case the GM said at the time it was because he wasn't really into the superhero genre. I later found out that it was actually due to personal issues, though I don't know why he didn't share that with us at the time. Another campaign was dropped so the GM could help his wife with her home business - or so he claimed. Just before he dropped the campaign, he pushed the reset button on it, royally screwing two players whose characters were new to the campaign. I'm still not sure if he actually dropped the game for the stated reason, or if it was because things weren't going the way he wanted them to. I guess I'll never know, because the guy has dropped out of touch with our gaming group. Another GM dropped his RuneQuest game when he changed jobs and went back to school. We don't hear from him much anymore. I guess the long hiatus just made it too hard for him to get back into his GMing stride. And one friend of mine has dropped two campaigns on us. We took a hiatus from one game because I was seriously ill and wouldn't be able to play for a while. But when I recovered he never started the game back up again. Again, I guess the hiatus was too long. A couple of years later he started up another campaign, but after only three or four sessions he stopped scheduling it. He never explained why. We've tried encouraging him to run it again, but he always avoids discussing the topic. :( [/QUOTE]
