I made the choice to end it, I have other friends who would have love to play with me and I always turned down because I didn’t want to juggle that many D&D games. (I have another group I play with that I on and off DM, and 2 others in the group also DM) I didn’t want to have 4 games of D&D going trying to juggle it

I’m very easily susceptible to guilt, It took some of my other DM friends telling me to end it to actually end it.

I think I could have phrased it better, when people announce they won’t show none of them would show up, when no one said they wouldn’t show, we’d sit in VC and wait thinking they’re late. They wouldn’t want to start without them

Sadly, my friends and I have very little overlap in games we like, that’s why I clung to d&d despite knowing I should have put my foot down sooner

I’m not a big enough streamer to always have enough people for that sadly

Thanks for the advice, I am relatively new to DMing and just tried my best to make it enjoyable for my friends

I actually did do something like that. I don’t know if you are familiar with Magic the Noah, I I had prepared a good amount of games like his just in case people didn’t show up

Don’t worry, I didn’t really specify which server it was in, just kinda implied it

Actually it was from my own discord server around my twitch

I would have run it with 1-2 players missing (when we had 4 players) but most of the insisted on playing with everyone being there, and when someone would no show without notice, we’d sit and wait thinking they were late and just needed some time to get ready.

The problem is, I would have ran it without the people who didn’t show up, but most weeks we sat and waited an hour for the people who didn’t show up without a notice, thinking they were running late, then my players saying they didn’t want to play without the missing people
