Hi Folks.
I wish to let everyone know that I will be stepping down as Co-HDM and as a DM effective immediately. This is something that has been brewing for a long time and following events in a scene last night, I realised that I’ve reached burn out.
To the players in the scene last night, I am sorry for my actions. I am sorry for the feelings that were hurt and I’m sorry for the draconian DM attitude I adopted. While I am grateful that I was able to realise my spiral, this does not excuse the badly hurt feelings that were created.
To my fellow DM’s – While I know that there is a lot going on in the chat right now and everyone is needed, I am doing more harm than good trying to work with you right now. It has been a pleasure and an honour to run with, for and alongside you, but the time has come for me to bow out of this game completely.
To everyone, please be aware that this in no way indicative of any one person’s actions or opinions. I have spoken with Sean at great length and he and I agree I have been on this spiral for several months now. Far better I depart now than try and fix damage done and make things far worse as historically, this is what happens for me. If I am able to repair the friendships I have here that have been damaged, I intend to do so outside of the chat.
On a final note, I have advised Daniele that I am nominating Adele to take the Co-HDM chair. We are all aware of the incredibly hard work she puts into the chat and quite frankly, I can’t think of anyone better to take the position.
I wish everyone in DT all the best and I’ll close here with a line from Douglas Adams.
“So long and thanks for all the fish!”
Take care everyone!
Regards,
Alan.
