I Will Post No More Forever

[Emiricol]

You don't know me, Tom, but I'll miss your posts (or a lot of them, anyway ).

I'll echo some other advice given here, and say step back, maybe find a game to play in for a while, then *if* you choose to get back into it as a DM, do so only on a schedule.

And of course, stop by from time to time

Dear Mr. Cashel Fitzmaurice O'Boyle O'Flynn:

You shall be missed 'round here. Do not be a stranger forever.




Sincerely,

Henry Link Fitzpatrick-O'shaughessy-Hamaterasu-O'Callahan-Smythe

I hear you, Tom. I am without a gaming group because the only gamers I know of want to do late-night, 10-hour sessions every week.

I want weekly or biweekly 4-hour sessions that end no later than 10 pm. Job, wife, and other hobbies preclude me from wanting to make D&D a way of life rather than a pasttime.

Damn. Not only did the Rangers get the shaft, but they're losing their primary supporter 'round here.

This makes me sad.

I'll join the voices that say that being formal and permanent about it is hardly necessary. It's even bordering on slightly silly - you let a handful out of the three million or so gamers drive you from the hobby forever? "Don't ever say never," as my sainted father used to say.

A bad experience can surely burn you out, and make you want to step away for a while. But, if you step away forever, in a sense the turkeys win.

Even if you don't have a current game, you can still enjoy wast-- er, spending time here.

Too bad to see you go, you were one of the people I wanted to game with in the 'Who do you want to game with?' thread. I hope you decide to come back. Take a break, find a new group, and tell us joyous tales of their buffoonery.

Hi Tom,

Never say "forever". Remember that the boards are a great source of entertainment/community even if you are not an active gamer at any given time.

C'mon back when you can,

So..uh..can I have your D&D books?


Oh, c'mon, you were all thinking it....
