the depression doesn't seem so grimly set-in today. It's not good, but it's been worse. I'm hoping this has just been a short trip into the Dark Umbra. And all the lovely supportive messages from you lot have done quite a lot to help shift it, I think. Thank you all!
And I think it's probably not been such a good idea to have been reading through the White Wolf Changeling: the Dreaming stuff while depressed, either. If there'd been an "Are you an Autumn Person?" quiz in there, I've been feeling like I'd have been ticking every damn YES box in it.
Of course there are plenty of you who won't know the specifics of what I'm talking about there, and I was going to be energetic and put footnotes and links in, but I haven't got the energy right now.
Yes, RP's been sitting in my mind recently. The current bout of Amber is drawing to a dramatic and potentially awful close, and while James is making chirpy Deadlands noises, I do think he ought to be given a rest from GMing. Not that he's detectably burning out or anything like that; just that everyone ought to have a rest once in a while, and he's been doing wonders for a looong time now. So, I'm wondering. There's the White Wolf stuff. I have notes and such for a 2nd-ed Mage campaign that I'd like to resume (we lost too many people and impetus last time), but then again I think I might like to hit our group with some Ars Magica with a possible.... no, scrub that. First things first. Thing is, at least some of them already have some familiarity with the WW system. Thinky, thinky...
