Hey guys.
I'm not gonna lie; I'm really not having fun with this campaign anymore. Whether it's true or not, I'm feeling like I'm the only one for whom playing this is a joy and not a chore. I know life is busy, but this should hopefully be a moment of respite from the storm, not another obligation on the checklist. This AP has been going for 2.5 years, and we still have 6 scenarios left. We started the last scenario at the beginning of September and only just finished. Wait, that's wrong; we finished on Nov 1st, but didn't get the wrap and rewards on until the 18th. So in 8 weeks, I had 5 turns. And this is just the latest in a series of one-, two-, and three-week gaps between posts. Things are so spread out that I have to re-read the scenario and character every turn because I've forgotten what's happening and who I'm playing by the time it comes back around to me. I've dropped pings occasionally in chat but I feel like I'm the only one every doing so (when that should really be the BR's job) and I feel like an a@@&$&% for doing it.
I'm not saying these things to make anyone feel bad or elicit another string of apologies and promises to do better. I'm highlighting it because I think it's time to accept that this table is too busy for this game. Whether from existing relationships, or just tables we've played together, I feel like I know you are decently well, and OMG YOU GUYS HAVE A LOT ON YOUR PLATES. I feel like dropping this would be a relief for everyone, freeing up some time for all of you, and keeping me from resenting people I genuinely like. Maybe it's temporary and we can pick back up when plates are less full and time is more available, but I feel like that is an ever-moving goalpost and it is healthier to take a break until that day actually comes rather than "getting by" until it (maybe some day) gets here.
Sorry to be a downer coming into the holiday. I'm genuinely grateful for the games I've got to play with you guys, but I feel like this is the healthiest course right now. I'm sorry if this negatively impacts our relationship.
Best,
Rogue
