This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

ooof.
Definitely step away, but unless you are strapped for cash I wouldn't sell any of that stuff; you may want it in a year or ten.
You are posting in a troll thread.

I just wanted to follow up with you guys.  I have decided (Tunnels and Trolls had nothing to do with this) to give up on this hobby because it's just not fun anymore so I am selling my stuff and moving on to working on other projects and playing MMORPGS to get my game fix.

I appreciate the assistance both you Silverlion and others have given me.

Ah man... that sucks. I agree with Aos: just in case something specific triggered your burnout, I'd advise you to hold on a minute, and step away for a while. You never know. Your mojo might come back.

Sorry to hear that, still, mmporgs give immediate gratification while rpgs give opportunity to craft something of your own.  They are very differnt beasts at heart and if you can get what you need from an mmporg more power too you.  There are days when I think we rpg gamers are like Fry's dog in Futurama, sitting on the corner for the rest of our lives waiting for our day.


Well the MMORPGS are going to be part of the process.  I will get my game fix from them and I will use the other free time to working on programing projects and other projects I have needed to work on.

Oh.  Sorry to hear, man.

Then again, you just gotta do what makes you happy.  If RPGs aren't fun anymore for you, then there's no reason to keep playing them.


Sadly, that is where I am at this point.  23 years is a good run

I have taken breaks and then came back and it fixed the issue but only for a short time and then the burnout came back.

I am selling the stuff not because of being cash strapped (that is not a problem I have) but because I want to get away from the hobby totally and do other things.

I don't see me wanting to come back to this hobby.  I think after 23 + years I have gotten all I am going to get out of it and I am just done

It's just that the hobby doesnt bring enjoyment to me anymore.  I have played online, played in person, played different games but nothing.  

It's just total burnout.

I have taken breaks but it still hasn't helped.  I think it's time for me to just move on.   23 years in the hobby was a good run.  I just dont have the same excitement for playing anymore, I dont really forward to the next game like I used to
