Nerd By Northwest #76 – “A Serious Commitment”
(Click on the image to see the full-size version)
This is just playing on the common occurrence in role-playing games when groups experience the loss of a player when said player gets into a serious relationship. It would be easy to blame the new girlfriend/boyfriend, but in my own experience it's usually the player who ditches the game without any serious pressure from their new partner. Which I feel is a big mistake... for one, it's good to spend some time apart so you don't seem too eager or desperate. But secondly (and just as important), finding a good gaming group can sometimes be harder than finding a new girlfriend or boyfriend. 😉
