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.

I've stepped down as main GM. Gonna back off for a while.

Quote from: Benoist;564579Yeah I thought about it some more and I'm going to echo some others here.

What needs to happen is not for you to quit gaming over this, dude. What needs to happen is for you to unplug the big purple and get off the internet to do your own thing for a while. Run your game. Enjoy where that leads you. Shut down the noise machine that's driving you nuts looking in ten different directions at the same time. Stop looking at RPG forums. Just play.

Isn't bad advice.

With the kind of sporadic attendence that you have, it might be worth looking at doing an episodic campaign type. Make each adventure a more or less self contained entity and run it for whomever happens to show up.

It would at least help with continuity problems.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

That is some awesome advice. I have done that more than once because burnout comes for all of us at least once or twice.

Edit: The TBP is like the monkeys running the asylum very little of it is about actual gaming. I get the feeling only about 5 of the regular posters over there even play RPG's.
Don\'t mess with cats we kill wizards in one blow.;)

This, totally this. Reading RPG.NET can screw up your head about gaming. I know this from experience. RPG.NET is like user comments in youtube: you read it for laughs, you don't use it to evaluate your tastes.
