Like every hobby anyone I know pursues, it can be good or bad for particular people in prticular situations. In my case, a decade-plus of frustrations around my disabilities and other complications finally led me to the realization no form of playing with others, in person or at a distance, was ever going to work out. Never, until at least one of my major complications gets qualitatively better, and that is not on the horizon. So I’ve set a lot of stuff aside, and spend time reading through books I got but never read, and working with various solo RPGs. Some work great for me, others not, and I’m building up successes while learning more about my strong points and weak points right now. I am less stressed about RPGs now than live been in far too long. There’s a lot I miss. But i don’t at all miss one failure after another after another. I  mm the basis of my experience, I say: drop everything, and add back in what gives you more happiness than it takes in effort. Whatever that turns out to be. And [USER=6687515]@Repeater[/USER] , you don’t owe your players more than you’ve given them. At all. So start changing things whenever you want to. There are always reasons to continue in bad situations, but you can choose to look after yourself better now.</blockquote>
