Sorry folks, speaking just for myself, I do not have the energy to devote to this role anymore. Not in the way you'd all like.

I've wanted to quit GMing for some time now but have always been holding out on it because I did not want to leave everyone high and dry without someone to fill the vacancy. My hopes has been that once we have new GMs that have been acclimatized to the role, I'd bow out for good.

While overall, I think I've done a good job. Lately, not so much. Aside from that, it's just not worth it for me anymore and funnily enough, creating icons and maps has shown me that. Not only am I having way more fun with doing the artistic side of things, not only am I actually getting compensated for my efforts, I feel like I've gotten way more respect from that than I ever have as a GM.


It doesn't help that this thread comes on the heels of me having a recent trip to the hospital and have been taking a break from things to recover.

But I'm too worn out for all of this, even without that. 11+ years of thankless work is far more than my fair share of this. Somebody else needs to do it because I simply can't anymore.

I'll still keep going for now but I'd rather we have replacements before I ultimately stop altogether. I told myself I'm going to quit being a GM this year regardless and I will hold myself to that.


As for the thread itself, I don't know what to tell you. As far as I'm aware, the GMs all agree that we need new staff and there have been talks of getting new people in.

Sub-roles could be helpful, but it ultimately still means we need more willing and able participants and that's not so simple.
