Re: OOC

Waiting is no issue at all.
You getting back to health is top priority.
Health is a thing we always somehow take for granted... until it fails.

Re: OOC

I am still alive and breathing. My physical rehab is both going faster than expected and slower than I want but I was informed this could take upwards of two years for a full recovery however that translates out to.

To say that this really turned my world on its head would be an understatement and I have had a lot to process and unpack. But I suppose being effectively paralyzed for a month will do that.

For quite some time after I got home I had no interest in RPGs even on a theoretical level though I knew eventually interest at some level would return. It has begun to but even there it will be a slow process as my energy is still in short supply and easily used up be it physical (priority), mental, or emotional.

Getting me sorted out and recovered will remain the priority. However, I've started quite literally as of yesterday afternoon considering my PbPs. I am a far ways from wanting to GM anything remotely live (online) in person but I am looking to resume on Rpol as my energy continues to return and build. It will likely be a slow start up as I get my head back in the game and based on available energy after my daily therapy routines.

The medical event also impacted my long and short term memory so I do need to go back over the rules and my notes to get that in order. Presuming there are no set backs though my aim is to hopefully be back up and running for this game around the end of the month give or take.

That's my update as to my status. Thank you all for your patience and sticking with me.

Stay safe and healthy all.

Re: OOC

Health is what counts. We always forget when it is in good order. We obly get reminded when it fails.
Cannot even truly understand what you must be going through. And I had my share of health failure. Just received two stents in February. I was lucky, a heart attack was waiting on the door step. One toemplaced inside, kind of.
So, well, concentrate on your recovery and if it is not a chore but somehow helps then sure, I'll be there to enjoy this, too.

Re: OOC

Indeed.  While the RPOL community is generally fairly inclined to favoring Real Life situations at any time it is far more so now.  Do what makes your world works first, then share with us what you want into this other world.

Re: OOC

I think I am finally back to where I can look at RPOL again. I'm going to refresh myself on the rules and my notes as unfortunately the event messed with my memory some.

I know at least one of you has declined to go on and I will get you removed from the game shortly but who all do we have still with us and ready to get going with my absence?

Re: OOC

I should be ready to go, I think I even updated the sheet to the full rules, although I would have to check in some detail to be sure.

Re: OOC

Like I mentioned before I'd like to take Casey. However, I'd like to be male, so it would be Warden Khatri instead, please.
Did not upgrade the char to 2nd Level so far though

Did some CharSheet stuff with hyperlinks to the Dice Roller.
Maybe you want to take these as your charsheets.

Re: OOC

That is awesome.  I've never played with adding links to the die roller in a character sheet.

Only suggestion I'd make is to not have the 2nd row for each stat span both columns since you already have the bonus for that stats set to span 2 rows.

I suppose there's been a set-back and just hope it's not health issues

Re: OOC

I'm kind of still here. There has been set backs. Initially and still there is my recovery it took several steps backward. Last week though two family members died in a tragic incident and two others I know both passed away after a long fight with brain cancer. The latter were expected, the former not so much. Together in a span of days...

This is still on the go but likely not until after this weekend will I be able to get serious about and focus on it.

Sorry all.

Re: OOC

Merry Christmas all.

I am still plugging away at this recovery thing. Some days are better than others but I am seeing progress. Slow but progress nonetheless.

I hope you all safe, healthy, and can find happiness and joy in these times with family, friends, and loved ones.

Re: OOC

I've struggled with this decision for some time now. My recovery is going far slower than anyone expected due to some complications.

I'm looking toward at least another year before I remotely see a return to what I once had including energy.

I have about two to three hours of energy a day if I am lucky and when it is gone I am done for the day. It has made it really difficult to be creative or desire to be for anything new that I am not already deeply familiar with.

Even there I pulled out of several games I was in or wrapped up and gave an ending to the one big one I was GMing last year.

I've felt bad about leaving this game in limbo as long as I have hoping I'd get my energy back and be able to run The Expanse but as much as I love the game and the setting I finally admitted to myself that I cannot give it or you all the effort and justice it deserves.

For that I apologize, not so much for the medical issues, as that wasn't under my control but for taking so long to make this decision.

I am going to step away as Narrator as I just don't have it right now. If there is someone who would like to step up and take this over I will turn it over to them as it was turned over to me.

I'll give it three weeks then if no one steps up at that time I will delete the game so save your characters details as well.

Thank you all for your patience and understanding.

Nico has it 100% right.
Don't think about it, games die due to lot less grave matters.
Take care of yourself and all the best
