How do you deal with losing interest in a campaign? (ttrpg.network)

Hello GMs of Lemmy!

I have been a GM myself for about 7 years or so, with more or less the same players in most of my games. What I have started to run into in the recent year or so, is that I have started to lose the interest in campaigns if the sessions get canceled often.

So my question is that how do most of you deal with this issue where you might start to lose interest in a campaign in the middle of it?

I'd personally take a break and mix things up. See if someone else wants to DM, try a different game system, or even just hang out and play board games for a while. You can't push through burn-out, and neither can the players.

Taking a break will probably be my solution as well. I personally love trying out new systems, but my players can be a bit harder to convince to try new things. It took me about.. 2-3 years to convince them to try Genesys RPG after we had been playing D&D 5e for few years.
