OOC Discussion

Here is the Discord server - I find it fun and friendly, and people sometimes post to talk about games they're considering running there

Thanks!

Glad to help, BeardHare! Please do what you must to feel comfortable with the game; after all, it's a fun pastime, not a social obligation.

I would be glad to welcome new players; the more, the merrier! Hopefully they are on board with our safety tools as well, since a yes to one is a yes to the other.

@microtheMacroBear, if you don't mind taking Henry, I would enjoy playing Mattie. She seems like a fun character to get into the head of.

P.S. I've lurked in the Discord for a while, but I'm usually too intimidated by huge servers like that to say much. Maybe now I'll see my two new Discord pals around :) .

Yah for discord!

I'll take over playing Henry, that sounds like a fine idea :)
Fully agree!

I'm struggling with bad burnout at the moment @DragonDweller62 @microtheMacroBear and for whatever reason, getting this game rolling again is just overwhelming for me at the moment. It's been on my daily to-do list for weeks now and I can't start on it.

When I'm able to do it again, I'll let you know, and if you're still interested I'd love to keep going - I'm really sorry to be flaking like this, but just seems there's nothing in the tank at the moment for this.

No worries @Beardhare. Burnout is rough. Take care of yourself

Thank you @microtheMacroBear - appreciate that

Welcome

No worries, @BeardHare; I know the feeling. Barring real life difficulties, I think the transition period this game is in also made it hard to pick back up. If/When you want to come back to this, I'll be on board. In the meantime, take care and be safe :) .

Thanks so much for that @DragonDweller62 - reading both your messages helps me feel like less of a failure about this.

I don't think you should be so hard on yourself, BeardHare. I guess that's easier to say on the outside, but we're still communicating openly and honestly during a difficult time; I would consider that far from failure. Burnout will happen; it's nothing to be ashamed of, nor is it something that's your fault. I'm actually very grateful that we're talking honestly about it so we know where we are regarding the game. As long as communication is open, I don't feel like anyone is a failure.
