[QUOTE="Brimshack, post: 4187362, member: 34694"] This too probably isn't what you're thinking of, but I remember a real epiphany came once when a couple friends and I had spent the entire weekend on a road trip. Since it was Spring Break and I didn't want to go a whole week without playing, I called a game for the following Wednesday and two players said they'd show. After about 3-4 hours of doing nothing but bickering, because we were all just that damn tired of each other it was getting pretty ugly. I remember looking up and saying; "this isn't fun, let's call the whole thing off." Both players left laughing and we made a point to skip the game that coming weekend. When we started again, I completely ignored the previous session, like it didn't happen. I'm sorry to say that there are a few other campaigns that could have perhaps continued if I had just done that once or twice along the way. Honestly, I think the most common sourec of disaster in a campaign is stickig with the same group and the same campaign for too long. Eventually people tire of it and something gives. [/QUOTE]
