One because it was a high school game and the DM - my friend - was doing a terrible job. Two because it was serious personal conflicts all across the table. The third, I showed up for a session, everyone smoked a bunch of illegal substances, and nothing really got accomplished, and that was pretty "Normal" for the group. My typical experience is the DM shuts the game down. I've had DMs get fed up, get bored, work conflicts, move, or a player with serious drama poisons the well. As a DM I've had to shut it down for multiple reasons: enough players leave that I can't keep running it, player interest is clearly winding down, hardcore scheduling/workload conflicts, or my interest in the game is going. I had one group I tried to start, but after the first session it was clear we did not agree on much. I've had players turn the game into backstabbing. IME, gaming is one of those things that people are least committed to - when push comes to shove, gaming is the first thing that goes on the chopping block.</blockquote>
