Absences

Please pardon my absence. I have been having migraines again. Daily for a week straight now. Consequently, a drastic reduction in screen time has been prescribed. I will have to think about how to mitigate this development's impact on my gaming. Thank you for your understanding.

Sorry to hear that Jabes.

take care of yourself Jabes, listen to the doctors

Ugh. Migraines are awful. Take care of yourself, jabes!

Migraines are the worst! Hope you find some relief.

Hey all - combination of work and personal life has messed up my free time pretty bad, for the foreseeable future. Will need to bow out of my games, and not sure when/if I can start up again - my apologies to anyone I was in games with.

i won't be online for the next few days for medical reasons sorry

Hope all's well, steef! Thanks for the heads up.

Okay, so I went five whole days of not looking at my phone except for important work stuff. Also let my partner do all the computer-related work. Guess what, migraines went away. Now, I know I'm not going to be migraine-free forever (I've lived with them for over 30 years) but it looks like if I don't want to suffer every single day, I will have to extremely limit my screen time.

What does this mean for my gaming?
1) For the many games where I am a player, I will need to drop out of many, and lower my posting frequency for the few that I get to keep.
3) I will need to lower my posting frequency for the 3 games I run.

My sincerest thanks and apologies to all, specially to my GMs!

That’s a shame Jabes but totally understandable. Who really knows what screens and WiFi are doing to our brains? Be well!

Jabes, I’m happy that something you can control make a difference.

I am going on vacation today until next Saturday. I should be able to post daily but probably only late at night (EST).

Not an absence, but an update on my data erasure mishap. An automatic update restated my computer and made me lose my scanning progress. Pretty darn frustrating. However, I might have a guy who could help me with that, so I'm going to check out that avenue.

Again, sorry to my players who's games have been temporarily suspended because I erased my campaign notes.

Also not an Absence report per se, but I'm in a writers conference this weekend, and may not be quick to respond to posts. I'll try to catch up at nights, though.

This post is long overdue but I've been either unable or unwanting, I will be taking an indefinite break that I foresee to be long. Thank you for all the good times and I'm sorry.

That is very sad to hear Hyp. I hope everything is well or is at least building toward it. Good luck

Really sorry to see you go, HypCo! You haven't really been around in a while but now that it's "official" it makes me sad. Every game I've been in with you has been extra fun thanks to your characters! I wish you all the best, and look forward to your return!

Sorry to hear that Ryan. I know the feeling of being unwilling to make the call. I hope you do come back when you can.

A valued member of the community. Sorry to see you go.

I'm sorry to hear that you have to step away, but totally understand. If you are ever able to come back, I will be happy to have you back in any of my games!
