Anouncement, Part Deux

So Mystara has joined the likes of Walt Disney, to be reanimated when the time comes to cure his disease. Reactions were more or less as expected, and you all were very understanding of my position. Let me say, it has been a pleasure DMing for you all, most of the time. And, I promise, this is will not be the end. Mystara is my baby and my gaming legacy, and I will likely not put it down as easy as all that for long. But, for now, the truth of the RP is that I don’t have it in me to continue DMing this campaign. I have no idea what’ll happen to this clog; I will likely keep it dedicated to Mystara stuff. I’ll probably clean it up a little, though obviously there won’t be many posts coming (though I promise to finish working on the religion chapter of the Campaign setting document and release it at some point in the relatively near future.)
Also, I am still a gamer, and do intend to continue gaming. If anyone has an idea for a game (I certainly do), feel free to post an invite. I’ll be doing so and contacting ya’ll when/if I get a solid idea. More than likely, from me, there won’t be any long campaign arcs; likely they’ll just be one shots. But, one never really knows. So we’ll see. In the mean time, keep in touch, I’ll be around IRC on wednesdays and sundays for the other games, and happy gaming.
Based on our discussions of the prior evening and my own observations and feelings… I’d say that we’re probably all a little burned out on fantasy RP. I mean, there’s Forgotten Realms, Mystara, Planescape, Empire of Blood, the arena thingy and so on, not to mention our prior run with Audalis and the epic Mystara campaign. Then I figure that we’re not quite as available to game as we used to be because we have been shifting from a student-oriented group to a worker/graduate student-oriented group. Given our discussions regarding the Planescape group, I think that maybe we ought to spend a year or so just focusing on the one shots and short arcs. Its a lot less strenuous for everyone both in terms of running it and playing it and means we won’t have to file away quite as many of those good ideas that we occasionally stumble onto.
All I know is, I want to play a goblin.
Man. Way to have been over two years.
Seriously.
