class="wp-caption-text">Symbaroum – battle outside the entrance to the Tomb of Dead Dreams</p></div> <p>Last year was an all-time RPG low for me since our re-boot of playing RPGs back in 2010.</p> <p>I can see several reasons for it.</p> <p>One part is adult life – just not for me but for the players. Last year one of the players got divorced for the second time, resulting in him prioritizing dating and carousing instead of gaming. Another player lost his father, and several of us have had various problems with our teenage kids. Yet another player met the new woman of his life, so spending time playing games isn’t his main objective at this point. On top of that, there’s the ever-growing work thing as well as several of us either have changed to more demanding job positions of new jobs altogether.</p> <p>And one player has stated that he will henceforth only play in our Call of Cthulhu games, while another won’t play Cthulhu at all.</p> <p>Also, I have a rekindled interest in physical activity, so I’ve spent a lot of the time I previously used for game prep outdoors, trail running and road cycling.</p> <p>In conclusion, many factors have resulted in less time and less interest in gaming during 2019. Which in turn has contributed to what I would describe as a GM burnout on my part. I have been GM:ing constantly for the last 9 years and now I feel I need a break and the developments of the last year have only reinforced this feeling, especially since I have felt that most of my “GM energy” has been spent trying to keep the group together and to actually manage to book some game sessions.</p> <p>Thusly, I plan to take a GM timeout for at least 6 months, maybe the whole year. One of the other players is going to run a D&D 5e game instead, in which I will be a player for a welcome change. Also, I have started reaching out to other RPG groups and will, in fact, participate in a new Forbidden Lands campaign starting soon in a nearby game club. I will also try to go to various old school game conventions (one – KryptCon III – coming up this very weekend actually). I’ll also try to play more online games if possible.</p> <p>And maybe, if the drive comes back, I’ll try to write and publish one or two adventures as well.</p> <p>Hopefully, this will help to get both me and my table gaming group back on track…</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <div id="atatags-370373-674f8dd52b1aa"> <script type="text/javascript"> __ATA.cmd.push(function() { __ATA.initVideoSlot('atatags-370373-674f8dd52b1aa', { sectionId: '370373', format: 'inread' }); }); </script> </div><span id="wordads-inline-marker" style="display: none;"></span> <div id="atatags-26942-674f8dd52b25f"></div> <script> __ATA.cmd.push(function() { __ATA.initDynamicSlot({ id: 'atatags-26942-674f8dd52b25f', location: 120, formFactor: '001', label: { text: 'Advertisements', }, creative: { reportAd: { text: 'Report this ad', }, privacySettings: { text: 'Privacy', } } }); }); </script><div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing"><h3 class="sd-title">Share this:</h3><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-custom share-custom-printamppdf"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="" class="share-custom share-custom-printamppdf sd-button share-icon" href="https://nerdomancerofdork.wordpress.com/2020/01/01/2020-year-of-the-double-crit/?share=custom-1400273103" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Print & PDF" ><span style="background-image:url("http://cdn.printfriendly.com/icon-print-friendly-16x16.png");">Print & PDF</span></a></li><li class="share-email"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="" class="share-email sd-button share-icon" href="mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%2020%7C20%20-%20Year%20of%20the%20double%20crit&body=https%3A%2F%2Fnerdomancerofdork.wordpress.com%2F2020%2F01%2F01%2F2020-year-of-the-double-crit%2F&share=email" target="_blank" title="Click to email a link to a friend" data-email-share-error-title="Do you have email set up?" data-email-share-error-text="If you're having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.

At the same time I really like playing, so I’ll try to play and not GM for now. Also, I think I will sell off some of the RPG surplus that I have – there’s a lot of games I’ll never use on my shelves (and stuffed away in storage) now…</p> <p id="comment-like-780"

you do anything to make them happier? is asking them to fill in an in depth questionnaire a step too far?<br /> Its always good to mix up the experience of running and playing to avoid gaming burnout.<br /> Any time you want a quick game of classic Cthulhu/Delta just give us a shout.

They like to play like once a month but in between they care little. I stopped writing the game reports since I discovered that they couldn’t be bothered to read them before games and given that each report takes a few hours to write I grew tired of it. Different players play for different reasons. There’s only one hard core RPG:er. Then there’s one who is only in it for the social thing. The others are there for a mix of both I think. </p> <p>I’m afraid that they wouldn’t fill in a questionnaire – I’m having problems getting them to answer if they’re playing the next session or not…</p> <p>And thank you for the offer to play CoC or DG. I will definitely come back on that subject 😁</p> <p id="comment-like-783" data-liked=comment-not-liked class="comment-likes comment-not-liked"><a href="https://nerdomancerofdork.wordpress.com/2020/01/01/2020-year-of-the-double-crit/?like_comment=783&_wpnonce=a090534f61" class="comment-like-link needs-login" rel="nofollow" data-blog="63664434"><span>Like</span></a><span id="comment-like-count-783" class="comment-like-feedback">Liked by <a href="#" class="view-likers" data-like-count="1">1 person</a></span></p> </div> <div class="reply"> <a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link" href="https://nerdomancerofdork.wordpress.com/2020/01/01/2020-year-of-the-double-crit/?replytocom=783#respond" data-commentid="783" data-postid="33377" data-belowelement="div-comment-783" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to AHL" aria-label="Reply to AHL">Reply</a> </div> </article> </li> <li id="comment-1250" class="comment byuser comment-author-anderslager bypostauthor odd alt depth-2"> <article id="div-comment-1250" class="comment-body"> <footer class="comment-meta"> <div class="comment-author vcard"> <div class="avatar-wrapper"><img alt='' src='https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/20bdb643b3b664b1101ddc89878577f5d2e782afee1e69320dc4362a31ecc8c6?s=60&d=identicon&r=G' srcset='https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/20bdb643b3b664b1101ddc89878577f5d2e782afee1e69320dc4362a31ecc8c6?s=60&d=identicon&r=G 1x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/20bdb643b3b664b1101ddc89878577f5d2e782afee1e69320dc4362a31ecc8c6?s=90&d=identicon&r=G 1.5x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/20bdb643b3b664b1101ddc89878577f5d2e782afee1e69320dc4362a31ecc8c6?s=120&d=identicon&r=G 2x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/20bdb643b3b664b1101ddc89878577f5d2e782afee1e69320dc4362a31ecc8c6?s=180&d=identicon&r=G 3x, https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/20bdb643b3b664b1101ddc89878577f5d2e782afee1e69320dc4362a31ecc8c6?s=240&d=identicon&r=G 4x' class='avatar avatar-60' height='60' width='60' loading='lazy' decoding='async' /></div> <cite class="fn"><a href="https://nerdomancerofdork.wordpress.com" class="url" rel="ugc">AHL</a></cite> <span class="says">says:</span> </div> <div class="comment-metadata"> <a href="https://nerdomancerofdork.wordpress.com/2020/01/01/2020-year-of-the-double-crit/#comment-1250"> <time datetime="2024-08-14T16:40:01+02:00"> August 14, 2024 at 4:40 pm </time> </a> </div> </footer> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Hey again,</p> <p>Long time necro-answer, I know, but I don’t know how to get hold of you since G+ folded. lost contact with lots of gamers after yhat.
