That’s A Wrap!

Every group believe that their game will go on forever. Whether they have one group of adventurers going from one adventure to another, or they cycle through different groups, they will still have one non-ending game. This non-ending game is a great and powerful ideal. In reality, there are many problems that will come up to trouble this ideal.

What Next?

After the heroes finish their present problem, they will want some well-deserved downtime. They focus on recuperating from injuries. They replace used supplies. It is also a time for working on neglected projects. Essentially, they can do whatever they wish. The GM can simply state “a few weeks later. . . “ then get along with the next adventure. While there is nothing wrong with this, it takes away player agency and creates friction. This friction can lead to everyone either wanting to stop the game or group altogether. The GM should take time to ask the players about their plans for spending time after the adventure ends. There does not need to be several weeks between adventures. In one session, the GM finds that player 1 wants to start on the tower he has been working towards. Player 2 is going for that shopping trip. Player 3 is dealing with that bully he never dealt with. And so on. In one session, the events of one game week will be managed. Then the GM can continue with the next adventure. This approach offers benefits. It gives the GM extra time to create more details. These are details that he currently lacks. He also will have maintained player agency.

Vacation Time

There will be those times that one or more player (or the GM) wants to miss one or more session. The reason for this will be varied. It is for work, or trip, family, or even personal reason. Whatever the reason, it will cause a disruption to the game. If one player cannot attend, the GM can create an excuse. This excuse should explain why the PC is not available during that session. When the number of players becomes so large, it disrupts the game’s flow. At this point, everyone needs to come together. They must figure out how to advance. The worst thing that can be done would be to stop everything. If that is done, then the game will not resume. I am not saying that the group can never take a break. Breaks should be done with care and foreknowledge. The best way to handle vacations is for everyone to get together. They should decide some defined start and end date. These dates should be inflexible. If someone calls one or more weeks before the end, they need an extension. The GM should provide a reason. This reason should explain why that player cannot have an extension. If the GM is unavailable, alternative games can be used instead. Some other method also solve the problem.

T-T-T-T-T-THE END

There are those times that the group decides to bring the game or group to an end. This does not need to be final. When it happens to be the game, view it as the closing of a great book. No matter how great the book is, it must eventually come to an end. The same will be the case for the game. At this point (preferably before), the group can decide upon the new game that it will play. If everyone was playing Agon then they like to try Threadbare as a light follow-up. A total change of direction (from serious to comedy) helps everyone’s overall attitude. This change does not need to be permanent, a temporary change can make extreme wonders. It can also allow someone who has either never or rarely game mastered to take control from the forever GM. This gives the GM some well-deserved rest. They can then become a player for a time. Nevertheless, if for some reason the group is either forced or chooses to break up, it does not end everything. While everyone is not regularly meeting to game, they can still occasionally gather. FLGS (friendly local gaming stores) will often allow people to come in. Groups who are not gaming and simply want to get together can also come in. They can also do the same in other places, both public and private. The idea is that ending the game group does not have to mean the end of the group. They can still find ways to connect.

And Finally –

There are several reasons for why a group would want to end. This end is either temporary when the current campaign ends or permanent when one or more members decides to leave. When the current campaign ends, everyone has two options. They can go instantly into the next adventure. Alternatively, they can allow everyone to deal with whatever they have on their back burner. When one or more players wants to leave, either permanently or temporarily, this is a great opportunity. It’s an opportunity to try some game that everyone has discussed. They have not been willing to run it before. No matter what happens, this ending does not have to be the end of the group. At the absolute worst, there are many different ways for people to find a new group, either online or in-person. Regardless of the method underway, everyone will share many great stories. They can recreate these stories over many years.

Both #Half-Life and #Portal have some incredible #music, but for my money my favorite track in either has to be "Your Precious #Moon." Both for the thematic reasons, and because the song itself is incredible. What a #game and what an #ending.
