It's probably not your fault. Year-long campaigns are just a very niche sell. Maybe you need to run a few oneshots instead?

In my experience, the winter months kill many a game. Between the holidays, work stress, weather, and seasonal depression it can be hard to keep your group together for a few months.

My players love our game, so I'd be hesitant to say that it's not important enough to them. Sometimes we let the important things slip when we're busy, or a perfect storm just keeps you apart.

All that to say, we usually get back together in the spring. Sometimes there's attrition, and usually we're playing a different game when we come back. But that's okay too, it feels natural to start up something new after you've lost your momentum
