[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8060883, member: 59816"] So... It should come as no surprise to you all that I'm struggling to keep up with my games. Part of it is low-pandemic morale (1), and part of it is work (2). I don't want to quit, though. I'll try to get the current combat wrapped up, and then I think we'll have to take a break from at least one of the games for now. As [USER=6865745]@gargoyleking[/USER], [USER=23484]@Kobold Stew[/USER], [USER=6801311]@KahlessNestor[/USER], and [USER=24380]@Neurotic[/USER] play both my current games, I welcome your input in particular when it comes to "which game" we should keep, but everyone's input will be considered, of course. Here are our options: 1) Continue with Scourge of Daggerford and put Fitz's Folly on haitus. ([USER=6877470]@Prickly Pear[/USER] can jump over) 2) Continue with Fitz's Folly & put Scourge on hold. ([USER=813]@jmucchiello[/USER] & [USER=87106]@MetaVoid[/USER] can move over) 3) Put 'em both on hold and either: a) Run Dracolich3: Tomb of Deridius or b) play any other 5e game you folks are interested in trying (I have all the books, plus other stuff). 4) Take a break and come back to it in a few months. I'm happy with any of those choices. The reason I put 3-b in there is on the off-chance that something new will kick me into gear to get those creative juices flowing. (It's got a good chance of doing that!) Let me know what you think. Fitz! Notes: (1) My part of the world is doing okay pandemic-wise, but I'm personally not - I was sick in March, and I have struggled with the after-effects of that illness for six months.
