And they were not for the purpose of restoring my joy, though refreshing was part of the effect.Some years back now, a combination of people here at EN World being... really bad, and world-stress, led to me not coming back to the site for like a week. Then a month.  Then several months.  I was gone for about a year.  I kept running and playing games as normal.Back in early 2020, my regular group were facing the final session of an Ashen Stars campaign.  By mid-March, though, it became clear that coming together would be unwise.  That last session never got played, and I didn't run a game for about two years.  I joined to play a few online games, though.When that group got back together, I ran a D&D game (running The Wild Beyond the Witchlight) that went for three years (!), and concluded earlier this year.  One of the players has stepped up to run a short campaign while I worked out what to run, so I haven't been regularly running a campaign for a few months now.  I am hoping to run a rules-demo session for the new game this weekend...</blockquote>
