falling off

We all fall off the horse eventually, it’s what we do after we hit the ground that matters. Struggling to keep up with life, the universe, and everything, I cling to the answer…42, unfortunately that is only half the problem. What’s the question?!

As I realize I was late (again) for posting a GM Corner, I am also dropping the ball on other things as well. I have hyper focused on cleaning the house, and as a result other things slip by me. Before I know it, the new year will have come and gone and I’ll still be sitting at my desk thinking about Christmas gifts.

It also shows in my games. I’m less prepared, meaning no maps, easy monsters, very predictable story plots, and late posts. This does not mean it will be less fun, but it will not have the air of excitement that we all love. The “tool box” comes in very handy in these instances. All those plots, NPCs, locations, etc. that the players have skipped over, can now be pulled out with little preparation (since I did it already).

If you find yourself on the ground. Whether it be too much going on in your life, or just in your head, remember you are not alone. We have all fallen off at some point or another. Just pick yourself up, dust off, and get back on!
