[QUOTE="Retreater, post: 8889457, member: 42040"] I hear ya. I know I have posted a lot of angry, bitter comments on here the past couple days. I'm sure that doesn't help others who are searching for community right now. Your post puts that into perspective, so thank you. A lot of us in the fandom are hurt. We see the revocation as a broken promise. It might seem silly to phrase it this way, but we've been in a relationship with Wizards for over 20 years. A lot of trust is gone. The thing we should all do is work on our mental health. (For example: Find joy in other things. Allow ourselves to feel loss too. Give some distance to the hobby.) I'm not sure what will work for you, but don't take your mental needs lightly. For me, I have a deep fear of isolation, being outcast. I have interpreted the leaks as WotC saying "we're too big to care about you anymore" and "the scene is moving on past you" and "you can forget about publishing now." If I get to play now, it's going to be a lesser game, a knock off, and who knows if I can find players. Gaming is clearly a big part of all of us. We should look inside to see how this is affecting us. [/QUOTE]
