a vampire post mortem

Nobody was *the* asshole. It was just inevitable. I planned the wrong game for the wrong group, planned a complex mystery and political intrigue for a group that needed simplicity, short sessions, and for the story to be over with sooner and the short sessions caused the game to take months and months and months so that when people's work schedules and relationship statuses inevitably changed, the game could not continue. 

TLDR: we're all poly and queer and the various break-ups and politics arguments that happened over the course of the year caused the group to break up. Also the short sessions required by two disabled players and people with unpredictable work schedules meant the original plan for the game got stretched longer than 13 sessions and the story didn't work. A mystery doesn't work if people don't remember details brought up 6 months ago that in game time happened 2 days ago.
