Never again...

I'm finished!!! Done!!! Never again!!!

The campaign I've been running (Night Below, AD&D) for the past 3-4 years,
is DONE!!! Fini! And I swear... NEVER AGAIN do I want to run a game.

Has any gamemaster here (or former GM I should say) ever gotten *so* burnt
out that they never wish to GM again? I swear, I almost don't want to game
again. It was like a job that I wasn't paid for. I enjoyed it when the
people cancelled out on me! I took any opportunity to skip and not run a
game but go elsewhere!

I mean... I enjoyed being with my friends. But I would have been happier
watching a movie or playing cards or something. Running the game... it just
was too much. Keeping track of HPs, doing die rolls, seeing if party members
got hit or not, calculating if the best fighter (who never could figure out
THAC0s after 10 years of gaming... thank the Goddess for 3rd edition which
doesn't exactly have THAC0s nowadays) was hitting on a 2 or not...

It was no fun. It was painful, just about.

I'm glad it's finally over.

Rob, a former GM
