Supreme Serpent Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: I'm gone A break every now and again can be good. Box the stuff up if you must, but don't get rid of it. You'll be back someday. Good luck with wherever life takes you! (And just because you aren't gaming doesn't mean you can't talk about it...and there's plenty of other topics like comics here and on NGD and all sorts of NGD things you could still get involved in...just because you aren't gaming doesn't mean you have to leave the discussion boards.)

Lord Liaden Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Re: I'm gone What Supreme Serpent said. I of course can't speak for you, Mark, but I came to a similar decision not long ago, as a result of many other things happening in my life that left me feeling like I could spare neither the time nor the emotional energy for gaming. As it turned out those other things eventually improved, and I discovered that I not only could continue with this hobby, but that I wanted to. If you truly wish to sever all connections with it, including visiting us here, then I wish you well. If you change your mind, though, don't be embarrassed to come back. You're always welcome.

zornwil Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Re: I'm gone Mark, I'm not sure if that's good or bad for you - either good luck on whatever it is you want to do instead or my condolences as to why you can't...as others have said, would like to see you around still.

Baron, where in Germany are you (if that's a serious location), I'm on business, currently ouside Munich but then Monday night back near Herzogenaurach (near Nuremberg), where I normally am when in Germany, though I'm leaving on Wednesday.

Roter Baron Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Re: I'm gone Sure its is a serious location. I am living in Hattingen, near Essen and Bochum at the heart of the Ruhr Area in Northrhine-Westphalia. That's unfortunatey not very near to Nuremberg (about 600 km = 450 miles) away, so no good for a night at the pub. But anyway - if you happen to be in Germany again, send me a message - maybe we can figure something out. What's your business in the Fatherland?

Roter Baron Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Re: I'm gone Nice! I am looking forward to hearing from you. Can give you a tour of my cozy little town (three castles, medieval houses, industrial museum, THE IRISH PUB ...) - mi casa, tu casa (yeah, my Spanish sucks).

Alverant Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Re: I'm gone No. I may have use for them a few years down the road. Mark, may I ask why you're quitting. Are you tired of the game itself? Burnout? Time constraints? Family/girlfriend/wife? You could just need a break. We all need one from time to time. I hope the friends you met while gaming stay friends. I've been gaming with my group for over 3 years and if this group broke up, I'd loose some of the best friends I ever had.

[/quote'] In the old days, I played D&D, then GMed D&D, V&V, Elfquest, Mechwarrior, Champions (version 3), and a home-brew Pern RPG based, I think, on Runequest. I haven't played, or GMed, since 1988. Since then, I've just tried to create a campaign to run. I'm still thinking of doing it in Pittsburgh. I just may start tossing ideas out here in May.
