Isn't that the problem with women? The second you marry one it's all "I want better weapons" and "Let me kill all things we come across".

[Dwarmin]

So. I suppose you guys deserve an explanation for my lack of updates. To make it a long story short, I'm in a really bad place right now and I can't accomplish writing anything but utter shit. I don't intend for this to die off, but it could end up happening.

To go into a bit more detail, I've been facing a lot of bullshit in my school (Recently moved to an extremely religious, conservative area...Constantly lying about a major part of my identity while surrounded by incredibly homophobic people (As well as general assholes) has not been amazing for my mental health), and as such, I've come into a really terrible mental state that basically results in a feedback loop of self-loathing. As I sink lower into my psuedo-depression, I end up becoming worse and worse at writing/coding/etc., resulting in me considering my work and myself horrible, resulting in me getting worse...So on and so forth. As such, I can't actually write anything even vaguely worthy of posting.

As such, I won't be continuing the City of Aretrian any time soon. It will be going on a hiatus for an indefinite and likely very long period of time. In fact, I'll be totally honest; it may not be coming back at all. I really do love working on this, and playing with you five, but...Well, at the moment I simply can't continue to work on it. I don't want this to die, really. It's been one of the major things keeping me going. But I don't want to leave this teetering on the brink in some sort of limbo...Aretrian deserves better. Really, it deserves to be continued, but I can't do it and I'm too selfish and jealous to allow someone else to take the reigns. So for now, I'll be putting this in stasis, to be revived later. I'm sorry about this, really. I know it sucks, and it sucks for me too, but I just can't leave this unresolved. I will, at least, provide this much.

And, rest assured, I'll be providing the answers to what the fuck was going on in this fever-dream of a campaign should it become evident I'll not continue it. Thank you guys for putting up with this bullshit for so long. I know I've been a horrendous DM, but still.

[GiglameshDespair]

That sucks to hear.

I was rather fond of the interaction between Ava and Osirio. I'd always be happy to rejoin Aretrian in the future or bring Ava to a new game, if it ever came to that.

Hopefully things improve in your end, man, but don't worry about Aretrian in the meantime.

[Nerjin]

At first I was sad that this was going to end. That first sentence told me enough. But as I read I became angry that you have to deal with that sort of bullshit. I don't know much about you but you're an awesome person so far as I'm aware. Don't let religious bastards get you down. You are who you are and who you are is amazing. I really hope things improve on your end.

Don't worry about this game, as Giglamesh said I'll always be happy to rejoin when things improve on your end.

[Dwarmin]

Ah, blargh. I echo the above sentiments. I really enjoyed Osirio...though I guess I should not have played so hard to get. I'll still be here if/when we get going again.

Angry to hear that people in your life are making life harder for you. I was picked on alot in school as well, though mostly because I was am (lol) poor and white. I can sympathize, though I can imagine it's much worse on your end. Stay strong, friend. The world is, slowly, changing for the better...even if you can't see it yet on the ground level, alot of us support you.

I'm happy to announce I intend to continue this
City of Aretrian soon, likely at or near the start of June. Please confirm your actions are still the ones you want to take.


Additionally, in order to get back into the swing of things, I'd like to write up some lore and fluff surrounding Nazeric and the world in general. I've got a LOT of this planned out in at least the loose details*, so feel free to ask really unusual or specific questions.


*I tend to keep a strict line of how things play out in 'canon' terms for worldbuilding purposes, though that planned path has no impact on gameplay; just because canon said a mighty paladin slayed the evil demon lord doesn't mean the players can't keep the demon lord alive or preemptively take out the paladin come campaign time, for example

[lawastooshort]

Crap, I managed to miss the previous hiatus explanation. I also agree with the above - I only know you as a GM, and you're a really good one from what I've seen, so it'll be sweet to see you continue

Good luck with everything

Ah, awesome!

I certainly hope that means things have gone well for you on your end.

[Dwarmin]

No change in my action.

Also, things might be busy for me about the time we restart, tho I don't anticipate too much trouble. I may be moving apartments.

[lawastooshort]

Good luck Dwarmin!

I also confirm my action.
