Ruins of Pathfinder: The Mysterium Compact (Mythic) (Inactive)

Game Master Robert Brookes

I'm alive and here.

Looking forward to it, when Robert's ready. I find it very difficult to predict where this campaign will go and I can't wait to find out!

Still here, looking forward to seeing what's in store!

Hey guys,

So the last week has helped me get my footing after the chaos that was RPG Superstar. The last two months have had a lot of change come with them, some of which have impacted my ability to GM even outside of the fustercluck that RPGSS was. Most notably, I no longer have access to Paizo's forums while I am at the office, thanks to updated content filters. This was where I did the bulk of my GMing work for PbPs, since I don't have a lot of spare time at home.

I was working on some ideas on how best to budget out my time over the last couple of weeks, knowing that once RPGSS was over I'd have to make some sacrifices. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm going to have to put some of my games on hiatus because of the narrower window of time where I'm free. I was hoping that I could juggle what I have going now, but it's looking more and more like I'm not going to be able to. GMing the three PbPs I have going (two of which aren't based on a published AP) is just too much for me.

I'm going to have to put both this campaign and Quest for Arcadia on indefinite hold until I have more time, and I'll be honest I don't know if that's going to happen or when. I'm keeping Reign of Winter going since it is the most senior of my PbPs and is based on a published source, so there's a lot less developmental work I need to do for it.

If, at some point, I'm able to pull things back together and get Mysterium Compact back up and running I will. But that may be a long ways out, and I know some of you will move on to other things in the interim. This isn't the outcome I was hoping for when I tried to figure out a balance to my commitments, but it's the only one that leaves me sane(ish) and living at the end.

Hey Robert, I'll be sad to not get to see where this was going, but I totally respect changing responsibilities and time availability.

Thanks for the run while it lasted, and best of luck with everything!

Should you find yourself with more time, I hope that we can continue this adventure. I really like playing in your games - your posts are quite eloquent and fun to read. It's a shame, but again I hope that you'll be able to come back to this in the future.

My icy evil heart shall fester in darkness while I await my opportunity for revenge that little halfling slattern....MWAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahaha!

Aww. I won't say this isn't kind of a bummer, but... c'est la vie. If you do have more time and can get things rolling again, by all means let me know.

Thanks for being understanding, guys. This was a story I really, really wanted to do and I fully intend on revisiting it in the future once my time opens up again. I'll be sure to PM each of you whenever it is that happens.
