Groups can survive it… even folks with kids. My gaming group has been going for about 17 years now. Our current members include a married couple with two toddlers, another who joins remotely and has two daughters of his own, two single guys (one of whom also joins remotely), another guy who’s about to get married, and my husband and I.
We’re family. And I think that’s what holds it all together. We aren’t just folks who get together to game. We’re family. And that’s why the gang here can do it too because they’re family too.
I ran a campaign for this reason, but it was the nail in the coffin for my first gaming group. I gave it another shot, with a new group, and we made it through the entire campaign. (The end was a little lackluster, but it’s the only campaign any of us have ever finished other than by TPK, so I think it’s a sizable achievement.)

Oooooooo! A Brett run game?! I can’t wait to see that!
The most brutal Bunnies & Burrows ever run.
“I go for the stoat’s throat.”
If this isn’t a campaign where that sentence is immediately followed by “it turns you into a fancy overcoat”, it ain’t brutal enough.
I’d also predict/recommend hard core full predation Mouse Guard. Err- Mouselings.
2019-2019 ouch. *paying respects*
Looking back, that’s how my game group died, too.
Ah, the gaming commune strategy. It’s the elusive dream of so many.
oh GREAT a NEW SHIRT I HAVE to buy XP
Shit you not, that right there (Brett’s comment) is in the midst of my “if I ever won an epic lottery” dream.
I’ve tossed around the idea of a gamer commune/gamer retirement community since before I was a freelancer.
“It’s not charity, folks, you’re just my paid playtesting crew.” *chuckles*

“F” for panel two.
I am buying this new shirt under MILD DURESS, only because I literally bought the last Gamemasters Union shirt less than a month ago.
Read “Play with their balls” instead of pay their bills… >.<

Why not both?
Dammit man, this arc is too real.
Santa Brett makes beaucoup bucks, eh? Well, I wouldn’t object to his plan…probably…for awhile…maybe. 🙂
“Build a cul de sac and pay their bills.”
It’s GOOD to be Santa Claus.
Or Vito Corleone. He did the same thing.
Imagine having to create a criminal empire just so your friends can game.

The “He hates that I game so much” is probably a doomed relationship.
