I've run 13th Age 1st edition for a quick 1-10 campaign. I enjoyed it. I have a different group now, just not sure if it's their style or not.

Well, I backed it despite some reservations. It's only money, right?

I'm really divided. It might be a "wait and see." I don't know if it will be something I'll actually use.

Oh yeah!

I picked up 50% discounted copies of Rifts Ultimate Edition and the Pendragon Starter Set.

Thanks everyone for the support. I've already reached out to a player in one of the groups, and he's offered to pick up the GMing duties for the time being. While it's not the most exhausting of my groups, every bit helps. I plan to discuss all of this with my therapist at our next session -...

Thanks for the perspective. I'm not sure how I should be affected by things these days. My job has gotten very politicized and stressful. I'm still coping with my dad's passing six months ago. And I just got started on meds that can have the side effect of causing depression. I don't know if...

I guess ... nothing? There are a couple of them tech-oriented enough to do it. It does require a few extra steps that I found challenging and the software isn't exactly easy to locate these days. I do suspect I'd need to continue to do it for the teenager who doesn't have a PC in her house as...

Sorry if the timeline wasn't clear. I ran a game for a wedding party, which ended around midnight. I was able to sleep, have breakfast and shower the next morning. Then I drove back four hours and ran the game the next afternoon.

In this case, I had written my own adventure. Repurposed a map from another adventure, created around 7 encounters to be sprinkled throughout it. (So that would have been 2-3 sessions of prep, along with improv and story elements.) The group had one of the encounters, decided the adventure was...

I'm sorry if I'm giving the impression that my players are a bunch of jerks. They are doing what they're doing because I haven't set boundaries. It's not as if I've told them I'm exhausted and they demand I keep running the game, or even get snarky about it (with the exception of my wife - but...

I didn't have the foresight to cancel the regular 4e game, despite knowing I would be running the game at the wedding party. It took more out of me than I expected - in fact, the whole wedding did. I ended up helping set up the wedding, moving it indoors because of rain, etc. I'm just a lot more...

I have a player in one of the groups (albeit, the less exhausting one) who volunteered to run a short adventure. I'll see if he's up for that. The more exhausting group, maybe I can tell them to handle their characters and rules on their own if they think they enjoy 4e so much? It still doesn't...

I considered it. One of the players lost her dad last week and asked specifically that we play to help boost her spirits. So I didn't suggest taking the day off.

We're playing 4e, and I'm the only one with the old Character Builder installed, which is apparently necessary for them to play the game. It's too much to do with books, paper and pencil. They are really into 4e, or so they say.

I feel almost too exhausted to write this post. Over two years of two weekly games in different systems with only the occasional missed session. Last weekend, I ran a bonus marathon session for around 8 hours (for different players in another system). This weekend, I ran a game for a drunken...

The icons were my least favorite part of the game. It seems like every session I'd get "enemy with the priestess, friendly with the great wyrm, and foot massage from the orc chief" - just had no idea how to string together the results into a sensible arc.

I want stats for Lord Sloth.

I'm officiating a wedding today. For the after-party, I'm running a WEG d6 Star Wars game for the guests.
