Hi Everyone,
I'm looking to come back, slowly. I miss living worlds. I miss my characters Bell, Scorpius, and Shava. I miss some of the characters whose stories I followed even when I wasn't involved in their thread. I missed a place to test new content where I was inspired by the players.
Now, work has not slowed down, and I'm just as busy outside work, but I've adjusted. They're bringing in another person to supplement me at work so things should get even better. I'm optimistic, but I'm serious about slow returning because I don't want to get to the place where this site seems like work.
I'm asking for your help. I need to cheat a little to get back into play. Reading all the threads to find out what changed is going to take time and resources that I don't want to spend, because I think it will make me feel like I don't have time to come back.
I want to play in a game, 1st things 1st. I'm retiring Raiko. I was done with him them, I don't really miss him. I want to return with either Bell or Scorpius. If you were one of their companions, let me know what's happened to you, and me!
I seem to remember being able to retire a PC (Raiko) and apply the levels (with a penalty?) to an existing one. I can't find those rules now. Am I crazy, or just not looking in the right place? This would make it easier for one of those two to catch up to former companions.
If playing goes well, I'll start DMing one game. If there are any plots I started, being DMed by someone, where the DM might like to release his responsibilities there, I will consider that adventure before a new one.
So thats my plan, 1 PC then later 1 DM. Also, I won't be roleplaying during work hours. Or considering judging. At least for now.
So. . . help?
