Not enough time

[Reckless]

As the season of greetings comes to us once again, I find myself having to give a farewell instead of a salutations.
My time is being eaten up by work, the search for a new house, the search for a new job (one that leaves me more hours with family, hopefully) and other pursuits. The little bit of work I've attempted for The Thirteen Kingdoms has me staring blankly at a blank computer screen. Sadly, I find myself without the energy for this project I had when it began.
That all being said, I couldn't be prouder of what we have accomplished here. The world is beautiful and diverse. The campaigns may be few, but they are fun for everyone involved, even the DMs, who don't have to take out a loan to afford the computer space for paperwork. It is everything I envisioned it could be. I especially want to thank those tireless CMs who have been with us through the begining and have carried this project through thick and thin. You have made this work, guys, and I love you for it.
I always envisioned that this world would live on even after its founders were gone, and I still see that as its destiny. It is time for me, however, to leave it for awhile. At least as a CM. The Thirteen Kingdoms deserve better than I can give it right now.
I WILL be around, and may even find some time to DM or play after the holidays. But for now, I go into the shadows to lurk.
((Don't forget to feed the dinosaurs while I'm gone.))
Wishing you all the best in all things,
Reckless

Sorry to see you go, Reckless. You are one of the originals, and there arn't as many of us left as I would hope. But real life is always more important than 13K life, especially family. Take it easy and we'll look after the dinosaurs for you.

I have a feeling you'll be back in some form down the road. T13K seems to leave an imprint on people that does't go away. I'm not sure if it's a birthmark or a scar...

Goodbye for now and God bless,
Brian

Sorry to see ya go, Reckless. As I too have a soft spot for Dinos, we'll take care of them. Drop in from time to time, and we'll see if we can't scare up a game or two for ya.

P.S. Drop me a line if you need help finding a house. I have a few contacts in the real estate world.

Oh no! Well, real life has to take priority, and you won't be the first of we original 13 to move on - such is the nature of any group. But the truth is that we will miss you ;.;

I'll remove your CM access this weekend, I suppose, unless you change your mind Either way, I sincerely hope you'll be around in your shiny new DM group access to help out or answer questions or what have you.

And Reckless - thanks for bringing me into this amazing project. It's been a wonderful ride

Leave a trail of bread crumbs, at least that way you can find your way back or the ogres can follow you home, either way it's bound to be fun.

Till we see ya again, good luck with everything.

I hate it when real life catches up to me. Sorry to see you go Reckless, it's a great world that has been created here, but I'm sure the pull or Aerde will draw you back eventually.
