I had wondered about whether this might be coming, and I sort of share the sentiment. It's tough to keep up the pace after more than five years of play (though that is something to be proud of!), and I think exploring the many rooms of Foxglove Manor just slowed our pace even further.</p>
<p>It's been a pleasure to play with you all, and I think I'll take this opportunity to bow out as well. Nicat has now had at least two Runelords games end at about this stage, and I'm going to take it as a sign. I also just last night started a real-life run of War for the Crown with some friends, so I'll scratch my AP itch that way.</p>

<p>I'm going to be honest with you here—I'm not having fun with this campaign anymore. Updating this has become sporadic and not very substantial—and that's not fair, I feel, to you guys. I've tried to make it fun for myself, but I feel like I'm forcing myself to post when I'm not feeling it just for the sake of moving things along.</p>
<p>You guys have been awesome in putting up with me and my slow posting rate, and for that I thank you profusely. But I think I'm going to pass the torch along to someone else.</p>Hey everyone.

The tech help I had had family emergencies pop up and I sure couldn't tell them to forget about that.

As it stands, right now, my lap top is a paperweight... whether it will actually be salvaged or not is unsure, so I'm getting a new one. I think it arrives this Thursday.

I have limited access to another computer, and will try to catch up at least a little but may still be relatively quiet until friday.

I was never a big fan before, but then I played through way too many of them in Carrion Crown and I'm done with them. I think the way you've hit fast-forward on this part of the AP has worked very well. </p>
<p>As to the dungeon crawl aspect, if we were all at a table, you could just point at all the places on the map that didn't really result in anything, give some quick descriptions, and achieve a similar fast-forward in a few minutes - PbP just takes a different approach, and I'm glad you took it.</p>

<p>I kinda skipped over a lot of this dungeon because of how many haunts it had in it. I'll be honest, I've never really been a fan of them—while I admit that they sound great and creepy on paper, playing with them in my Carrion Crown game has soured me on them. </p>
<p>That, and most of the haunts rely on me having kept track of what sins the PCs have indulged in up to this point—and frankly, I'm not interested in doing that. I've got enough bookkeeping to deal with running the game and botting Evelyn.</p>
<p>Also, I'm REALLY not a fan of dungeon crawls. I very much prefer social roleplaying and intrigue, and dungeon crawls generally don't endorse such encounters without the GM modifying their campaign to include them.</p>So, confession time.
