NOW LIVE! Into the Woods--new character species, eerie monsters, and haunting villains to populate the woodlands of your D&D games.
The Edge of the Wild
- Thread starter Northman
- Start date
I'd like to see you continue to play with us, whether that means your arriving late, or rescheduling the game-time. I know one of the original times available was Wednesday, a day that would originally have been difficult for me, but is now more easily done.
It seems like it would be difficult to have you come in blind after an hour and a half, but if you're cool with it, it's fine by me.
This is, of course, assuming our DM ever shows up again.

I am so sorry for the no show on Tuesday. I feel horrible. I believe Eroria can atest to the fact that I have never just no-showed. I apologize sincerly.
This brings me to some very sad news though.
My life has gotten to the point where I can no longer DM. I just can not do it with any consistancy. More than that, I can no longer be a contributing member of the 13 Kingdoms Council. This indeed is a very sad time for me.
I have been DMing online for 7 years. I started with AOL then on webrpg then openrpg. I DMed and did some administering for the Living Web, being there from the begining. I, along with 12 other gamers created the world of the 13 Kingdoms 2 or 3 years ago. I have been active the entire time, and am one of only a few original CMs left.
I do not walk away from 13 Kingdoms lightly. Perhaps there will be a day I will be able to become a player again, perhaps even DM or return as a CM. But that day is not in the forseeable future.
I hope that I can play now and then in one-shot games. Maybe some of you would even DM a one shot game now and then.
This was my last roleplaying outlet since I stopped roleplaying face to face last december.
For someone who has roleplayed non-stop for 20 years since I was 11 years old, this is very hard. I don't know what life is like without roleplaying filling a nitch. Maybe this sounds melodramatic, but after 20 years of roleplaying without a break longer than a few weeks, it's difficult.
I grew up roleplaying. I got married roleplaying. My wife played. I played with my first son in a bouncy seat next to the table. I played with my first son playing with his toys and my second son in the bouncy seat next to the table. I played through 6th grade, Jr. High, Highschool, College, and the Army. I've roleplayed with doctors, fast food workers, software programers, construction workers, special forces green berets, aspiring actors, air force mechanics, musicians, navy officers, and auto mechanics. I have had quite a run and met some incredible people.
I don't know how you say goodbye to a community like that. I guess you just fade away. But that's never been my style.
Thank you all for playing with me in what turned out to be my last hurrah. I hope I get to play now and then but I don't know if that's realistic.
My plate is full and will be for as far as I can tell. Family, work, church.
Yes, conservative Christians can and do roleplay.
Perhaps my signature below has more meaning today. I will miss you all.

I am truly saddned by this, Northman...I was enjoying playing under your games so much, they were alot of fun. *sighs* I am very sad to see you go. But it sounds like it's much harder for you. I'm not really sure what to say since I haven't known you very long, besides that I am very sad, both for myself and you.
I hope you can get to roleplay again someday. I'll be happy to play if you decide to DM again...don't fade away entirely, eh? Take care of yourself and please have a good life, it's been a pleasure, even if it was a short one, knowing you.
Good luck to you in everything you do...

Yes take care
I only had two games with you - but enjoyed them both very much.
I hope that your other activites treat you well and bring you happiness!
don't disapear completely like Zildraz said - there will always be room
for the occasional one shot from Northman!
take care

It's true, he never, ever missed a game before.
I'm sorry to see you go, and to hear that you have to go. I can relate to RL interference with gaming -- and have many a time come to the conclusion that RL is in fact more important than gaming.
I have many good friends who are both conservative christians and roleplayers. Maybe it's more common in New England than the rest of the country?
