Goodbye. For now.

Quote from: Shawn Driscoll;1048930If you want to find good players to game with, you need to promote RPGing on a YouTube channel. That's how it's been since 2010. If you don't have a YouTube channel, you're barely treading water.

Is this actually true? As I've deeply considered doing something of that nature just to get more active in the community and find new groups.

Sorry for going off topic.

More to the point you will be deeply missed even by those of us that never actually post anything.

Finding good players for a tabletop - starting my own D&D Meetup cost a bit of money & some stress dealing with venue management, but works very well.

Also, live in a major metropolitan area!

Good luck! We'll keep a seat for you.

Good luck to you, sir

Hey, how about starting a thread detailing everything you did? Kind of a "Here's how you set up a successful Meetup" kinda thing.

OK, posted.

We've had some interesting discussions, trechriron. Be well.

trechriron · July 16, 2018, 07:36:37 PM

Thank you everyone! I appreciate your words of encouragement. I'm sure I'll be back, I just need to focus on this for now.

This is truly the best RPG site in the world. I'm so happy I stumbled in here.

danskmacabre · July 16, 2018, 08:04:23 PM

You'll be back... they always come baaaacckkk...

Seriously tho, good luck in your future endeavours.

Spinachcat · July 17, 2018, 03:48:31 AM

Hopefully you'll be back. Just more musically!

Good luck and have tremendous fun developing your talents!

And hobby burnout is normal. No need to declare it permanent. Maybe it is, maybe its not, maybe your hobby excitement returns in a new form.

Good luck, I hope you successfully rekindle those passions and maybe even work your way back around to this one eventually. Either way, only the best to you.

I get the "why not do both" argument, but sometimes you need like six months of really intense singular focus to get something kick-started.

Yup, "doing both" never enforced simultaneously, order of sequence, or in equal measure. Complex beings can take complex approaches to enjoying more than one pleasure.

I'm pretty sure I've heard this same line from the GF before... But true, nonetheless.

Well, I did stop running and playing games for now. However, I found not keeping up with the world of RPGs to be too depressing. :-D I'm thinking I need to find the right group of players (eventually) and focus on creating for now. I can create music and RPG stuff, I don't have to choose. So, I'm back. Sort of. I'm going to be a non-player/non-GM for a bit and tune up something I am really motivated to run.

See you around the neighborhood!
