Wow, crazy as in
busy. My job's not really very dangerous.
In any case, long before I posted that, I'd been pretty darn scarce. For months, at least.
I don't really talk
too much about gaming even on my blog anymore, honestly. I've done a fair bit of setting development there, but I've finally "settled" on my system (at least for now) and the setting's got a lot of material in it (at least for my needs.) My efforts there are more towards developing novels that I'm planning on self-publishing for Kindle once they're ready.
All that said, gaming has moved a bit to the back burner in my hobby life anyway. You want to talk about hiking and backpacking, I'm all over that. You want to talk about yet another version of D&D that I'm not interested in and won't play because the systems just keep getting further and further away from my ideal rather than closer, well... I've done a lot of that in the past. I think I'm good for a while.
Feel free to keep in touch, though. When I quit posting regularly (or even sporadically, for that matter) at ENWorld, I didn't necessarily feel like I was leaving on the best of terms... I was a bit cranky about the whole affair, I was sick and tired of rehashing a lot of the same old tired discussions with the same old vocal and increasingly factional rivalries, and to be honest with you, in terms of D&D I'd lost that "sense of wonder" a long time ago. Yes, I said it. Sense of wonder. I don't have it, at least not with D&D. For months, if not years, before I quit posting, I'd lost interest and was coming back as an empty habit, without even enjoying myself very much.
Anyway, in those circumstances, I didn't feel the need to flame out with a manifesto, or even a heads-up... to be honest, I didn't think very many people would miss me much.
