I also hate leaving players hanging as I know the frustration all too well.

Hey, remember a few weeks ago when enworld went down completely for a week and then they got that consultant in and it was blazing fast for a while? Those were good times...

As a player in RotFL, (hey, was that on purpose??) I'm grateful for your offer to step up, renau, but I'm a little worried about burnout, too. 5 adventures at once is already too many, IMO. It's just such a common pattern around here; someone has a bit of free time and some enthusiasm, they take on half a dozen games, then a month later their circumstances are different, they slow down, and when they come back it's just too much and they lose interest. The guys who pace themselves seem to stick around better, and we want you to stick around!

Ah yes, it was good times indeed.

I wouldn't mind looking into saving Ring of the Fey Lord, if need be.

I was one of the judges who originally approved the adventure so I know the basic premise, and have been following latest development in place of Lord Sessadore while he was on honeymoon.

I've contacted Morrus about the LEB/L4W old Wiki/new Wiki issues. Looks like we'll have to put in some time to see what does/doesn't work or leave... the old wiki will be no more at some point.

I'll have a look this weekend to see what does/doesn't work and report after Labor Day.

No need to worry about burnout from Renau1g. All you have to do is send him out into the Canadian wilderness for a week sometime during the summer and he's back to full physical and mental HP.

Seriously though, you hit the nail on the head covaithe. It's not so bad when you just play a few characters. It's got to be much more demanding when you roleplay characters, run one or more adventures, judge and do character reviews. I can see why some choose to leave.

I give credit to TwoHeadsBarking for not burning out after being stuck with the task of character review for not one, but two of my characters. That's worse than sleeping on a bed of nails...not that I've tried that.

And after that extended rest, I even levelled up
