sigersonSad: that is, personal.
My gamers are fighting. I don't know what it's about. I don't know if I should keep out of it, keep my emotions out of it but intervene without prejudice, or honestly say what I think, emotional reactions and all.
Tired of running game and being unhappy and stressed during/after it. Hell, maybe I should just quit it this summer. Start something new. Or don't.
Angry: that is, national.
Virginia is banning EVEN CIVIL UNIONS!!! AAAAAAARRRRRGH
And I still don't know if Shrub will be leaving come November! I keep having nightmare scenarios of "Whoopsie, found Bin Ladin on Oct. 29th! How'd that happen?" or even worse...I'm honest-to-lady scared of another attack. And I'm scared of the effect such an attack might have on J.Q. Voter. Nightmares about bioterrorism and the DNC this July..."Whoops! Stupid Dems didn't believe us, got all nice-nice with terror, and now they're ebola victims!" Okay, that's far-fetched. But I have full license for nightmares, dammit. They're not supposed to be rational, or even grounded in fact.

Hopefully with a week off, though, things will cool down and we will come to our senses and remember that

Hiatus works...
Date: 2004-05-01 09:01 pm (UTC)How long has the game been running? Find a good place to stop, take a month off to get your head together...but remember, still get together. Regular game times are tough to come by, so don't let folks reschedule. Play Settlers or Lunch money or something. Or even let one of the players run a one short or short series (so they can see how much work it is running for the same team). Being a player again for a bit does help you revitalize.
