It's over, probably. As I turn older and older, I've been gaming less and less. There are a few reasons for this personal phenomenon, chiefly, people my age aren't playing rpgs any more. They weren't that many back in the day. Occasionaly, I've been able to gather a few youngsters around my table, but they don't stick, my life being so different to us, and, I'm so detached from their lifes that, sometimes, it feels like generations are different countries altogether.
All that and that I don't feel like GMing any longer. You see these days I have other hobbies that eat up much less of my time for the same or better reward —however these things are measured. I paddle on surfskis and I love to camp and hike. Besides, I have my website, gemini capsule and gopher hole. I suppose I could even play solo. Enough, more than enough.
But still, I'll be missing the excitment of sharing a world with a group of friends and see how they tear it up apart, all while my orcs take their due revenge. Yeah, but, I'm tired of trying, let me move on. It's time.
