Because of the Life of the Military, I had to cancel my Pathfinder Adventure with my group today. Because of the frequent absentees due to the demands of the life of the military I found it too difficult to keep the adventure path going.

Oddly enough, during this whole time I was trying to get this game going *we only made it to glassworks*, I was the only stable person.

I look forward to when I can gather a more stable group to be able to run these great stories!

If your people like to write that's where pbp comes in handy. Slow as hell, but when schedules cannot match up, it eliminates that as an obstacle. (Unless people go without computer access at all for periods of time.)

Most of the Computer Access they have during the time of absents is on Offical Computers only... And the military frowns upon using those sytems for stuff like this..

I wish you guys the best. It sucks that you guys can't have this as diversion while serving.

If I were in your shoes, I think this would be sufficient enough motivation to find a job in the private sector. ;-)

More seriously, though, until last fall I had a very difficult time finding a steady group myself. One would think that the New York area would have a ton of available gamers but it's apparently tough to find anywhere. It simply takes a long time to play and we responsible adults seem to always have other commitments show up. I find that I have to schedule around my weekly D&D game(s) in order to make it every week. It has to be a higher priority than everything else or it gets lost in the shuffle.

Best of luck finding another group. I know how much it sucks to be unable to play regularly.

You could always join our group! I'm hoping we can get together next weekend. Would you and any of your players be able to make it?

This is Sebastian, if you hadn't guessed, lol. How random is this. I visit the paizo boards all the time, but never this particular forum. Your title just caught my eye for some reason.

We are still going to play.... just can't do an adventure path... I hate starting things i can't finish...

Looking into running maybe a module once in awhile, star wars, or WoD *WoD is in the lead on player votes*

I am from Longisland.... My friends back home still have not forgiven me for joining the Military and ending our 9 year going Vampire game... they keep bugging me to come back..and ask me if I am leaving the military soon... been 7 years now since I joined ;-)

I had to end my Age of Worms campaign literally half-way through the campaign due to my deployment and subsequent move to Korea.

It does indeed suck.

I am currently a player in a game (for the first time in five years) but will probably run the next campaign when this one dies down in a few months.

I'm not sure what I'll run yet.

Try some Modules... Or just start your own..

I've had to cancel or suspend all but one of the campaigns I've started in due to scheduling conflicts. Being a responsible adult REALLY SUCKS sometimes.

That's why I avoid it as much as possible ;)

Agreed. I try to never act responsible, it ruins the adventure.

Actually the problem isn't the lack of ideas... it's that I have so many options!

This group of players, including the current DM, have never even been through the Shackled City AP. I've run that twice, and I'd be able to do that again fairly easily.

But I never had a chance to finish an AoW game, so I'm tempted to run that again.

And I didn't even get to start Savage Tide, and it looks like fun.

Then there's the two Pathfinder APs, and they would be great, too.

And then there's the Eberron campaign that I've run before that I wouldn't mind starting with a new group of people.

And I've been tossing around some Dragonstar cross-over ideas.

Ahh.... so many great ideas, so little time.
