[QUOTE="Jared Rascher, post: 5568140, member: 28825"] I'll preface this by saying if this does happen, its months in the future, barring something else going wrong. I'm committed to finishing up my current campaign before I move on from the rules system I'm using, because it just wouldn't be fair otherwise to my players. So, here's the quick version. I'm burned out on d20 Fantasy games as a GM. I'm seriously looking at moving on to Savage Worlds, using the Fantasy Companion for my own setting or the Hellfrost setting for my campaign. Currently I'm running a Pathfinder Council of Thieves adventure path game at the FLGS. We're having a good time of it, but I'm getting a little worn out as we get higher level with the APG tricks the players are throwing at me, let alone any releases beyond that. I know that a few of my players are in it to play Pathfinder. I also know that if I shift campaigns, I've got enough people to fill the table if I have people leave. So that isn't a problem. However, I do feel responsible for some of the players. Some of them followed me to my Star Wars Saga game and picked up those rules. Some of them picked up the Pathfinder rules because I was running a game and they wanted in. I feel like I almost owe them as many sessions as I can squeeze out to repay their trust in me. However, I really don't think I have another Pathfinder campaign in me at this time. I thought briefly that I could hand over the reins to another player if they wanted to GM, but I only have a limited number of gaming nights, and I really don't want to give up my "GM" slot for the night because I don't know when I'd have a chance to run an epic fantasy game again. So I'm kind of mulling over what I should do. I've got easily a few months before I have to really worry about this, but I'd rather be thoughtful about this than to pull the trigger on the fly.
