Got another big storm coming, and this time I got called in as a Disaster Service Worker, so I might not be around much the next 72 hours.

They are both me, and while there has been massive and historic flooding just 30 minutes away, none of it hit my patch of the woods!

Safe and sound.

I did end up getting called in on Friday for what was supposed to be a 12 hour shift at at an Emergency Shelter the county set up, but they wound up consolidating shelters and closing the one I was assigned to after 10 hours.  Add to that the fact that there was literally only one mental health crisis I needed to deal with the whole 10 hours? It's been easy.

Hi all

Just wanted to drop in and say hi and give an update to my extended absence. My 14yo son passed away suddenly and unexpectedly over Christmas. Needless to say this was a huge shock and we have had a lot to deal with. I am hoping to be back at some point, but as to a timescale I couldn't say.

Happy for GMs to NPC Elisar and Golun as needed, then move them back to town when missions are completed.

Re:  Extended Absence Thread

Hey everyone I hope you had a happy holiday. Conspirator and I went on a trip to visit family and I managed to test positive for covid. Don't know when we'll be able to post, but hopefully soon. Will try to keep you all posted. Take care all and be safe.

No wifi at home for the next few months or so. Will try to post whenever I go somewhere with wifi and enough space to put my laptop. Currently posting from my folks' place in Vegas.

Re:  Extended Absence Thread

Hey everyone I'm very sorry I know it's been a while. I've been dealing with a serious case of burnout and a lack of self esteem. This is no ones fault, but my own that I have not been able to post and I apologize for not posting sooner to let you all know what's been going on. It seems that it took a lot out of me being as busy as I have been. Still no excuse. I don't know when I'll be able to post again but I will see what I can do today and we'll see. At the very least I will be helping my husband take over the quests I was running if I find that I still cannot seem to post. I hope that it doesn't have to come to that, but it's bad enough I've been keeping you all waiting for so long. You guys deserve better and my other half deserves a more consistent co-dm. Hopefully there won't be too many discrepancies. Thank you all for the wonderful patience you've had with us, and me especially, and for being the wonderful players that you are. Much love to everyone. Wishing you all the best.

I understand burn-out, and life issues very well.  Take all the time you need.  Come back when you can, and have the desire too.  I hope things improve for you.  We'll be here when you're ready and able.  It's a great game, but nothing to stress over.

The first part of that sentence was correct. Burnout is an affliction, first step to healing is to not beat yourself up about it.
It's good to learn your limits, to take the time to heal when you need it.

Applause for the good job, both storytelling and listening to yourself.
Now go relax.
