Derick the Swordmaster of Doom

Gregor the Tanky Stab-Sentinel

[freeformschooler]

We did an age thing a while back?

[SeriousConcentrate]

I've probably forgotten it. I forget pretty much everything, given enough time.

[Blade Master Model 42]

I might have posted something to the contrary (maybe), but I don't seem to recall actually setting Valor's age. In my head, he's between 22 and 23, because I'm unimaginative in certain areas.

And I always figured Olison was older than Sal.

[Haspen]

I go down with depression and you're already shipping crossovers. Geez.

Thanks for the support and I've just came back to make sure you people aren't ripping your hair off in worry or anything. So yeah, I will take a long break from them internets for maybe few weeks, or months, I dunno.

But I will be back - someone has to continue this and you bunch are definitely not qualified for this, ha.

Cheers, and cya some other time.

[Blade Master Model 42]

^ What they said.

[Xanmyral]

For whatever it's worth, I have something to say.

Haspen, I'm gonna be honest. I don't let things effect me negatively online, a thing I picked up a good while ago. Someone insults me I shrug, bad things happen I feel distant, games end, well that's just life and things happen. That isn't to say I don't let it effect me positively, I feel good when I make people laugh or receive a compliment, but it was always selective in that I would just ignore anything negative.

But just today I've caught myself wanting to check the forums to see what next shenanigans I might of missed in FEF, or what horrible scenario we might be in with death looming around the corner, or what cheesy shipping scenes are going on between the characters. Each time I always felt sad, because of something I always figured wouldn't effect me negatively.

You're a good GM and don't let anyone say otherwise. You've always facilitated, encouraged, and joined in on our humorous skits and endeavors, hueing at our misfortunes or our frequent not-exactly-well-thought-out plans, throwing different challenges that always just get us to scrape by with some the skin of our teeth still partially intact, if we're lucky. There are a lot of people who wish they could do that, envy that even. It takes a lot of drive to create a game, round up people and actually play it, a lot more than one would think, I have some idea because I've been attempting to work up the gumption to try.

You're going through a bad time right now from the sounds of it, in a bad place or trying to get past something insurmountable. And while my words may mean little here, know that you have people rooting for you, who care about you. We may give you shit at times, but hell that never means anything, we just do it because we care. We all earnest want you to get better, to feel better, to get through this dark patch in your life not for the game's sake but for yours. This damn game can crash and burn for all I care, it may of been the game that drew me here but it isn't the game that makes me stay, no. It's the people playing it. I'm sure everyone else here thinks similar.

Take as much time as you need, talk to people, reconnect. Talk to someone, either a friend or a professional, there's no shame in just talking to people. Life always gets better, even if the silver lining is sometimes hidden by dark clouds. So get better you glorious hueing tactical bastard, we'll be here for you.

Oh darnit I just remembered that I was going to ask Haspen to look over at how I statted the enemy of Chapter 1 in my game.

Is anyone experienced at GMing willing to take a look at it in his place? I need a second opinion to see how balanced it would be against my players

[Praefectus Screptum]

Wait-what? Are you making your own FEF too? And this actually makes me wonder if those two that died some time ago are going to return.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Mine isn't, sorry to say. I'm just not suited to be a GM. I don't have the mindset or the ability.

[Sirus]

Don't sell yourself short. You made an interesting world and I was looking forward to seeing how things turned out

As for not having the time to run the game or whatever...that I understand completely.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Nah, it's not that. I have some confidence in my skills as a writer. And I technically have nothing but time right now. It's just that every time I need to update I'm like 'yeah, I don't really feel like it. That's a ton of rolls and keeping up with stats and bonuses and when they apply' and basically I'm too lazy to be a GM - that and I'm not good at changing my plans on the fly when someone steps off the rails. That said, it's too bad BMM42's is dead too. :\ As for Furt's, I would join it, but despite enjoying Gurren Lagaan I'm not really a fan of giant robots. >.>
