Hiya folks, it's Shiver. Just wanted to put a post out saying that I'm going to be stepping back from the Off-Topic forums too, though recent events have had little bearing on my decision. You may not know me that well since I've not taken part in many threads and have only ran a handful that then died, but I think I'm known enough here to warrant a post saying why I'm going instead of just disappearing.
As I said, recent events have had little to no affect on this choice since I've been slowly moving away from the Off-Topic forums for a while anyway, and I think now is the best time to stop. I've been getting busier IRL, been making less posts, and besides, I'm not taking part in any threads here anymore, and I'm only 'running' two, though I'm now sure that San Fuerza is dead (and I'm more than happy to accept that) and the Long Roundabout Path can manage fine without me since it's now entirely player run, so I'm okay with leaving it too.
I'm struggling to vocalise my thoughts and reasoning behind it all and there's a lot I could say but I don't want to make this a slog to read lmao, I just wanted to say that I enjoyed each and every thread I was on, each character I became, every scene I roleplayed and every conversation (and I mean every one!) that I had. I'd like to say that I'll come back in the future but chances are that it'll be a long time until I do, so this is probably a goodbye to most of you. I'll still be on my few campaigns in Play-By-Post, so I'm not disappearing off the face of the platform, but yeah, this is it.
I dunno how to end this so I guess I'll just say bye. Thanks for this, all of it.
Well then. Guess the only thing going for adohand’s is Arch coming back, in over a month.

Hi there! My name's Elk. I'm NoiSilverheart's doppelgänger. I'm a demi/grayromantic, socially awkward Okie who may or may not be a pyromaniac. *random confetti blast*
I'm a warlock of the Archcrone, and my patron is TheFriendlyArchfey. I was nicknamed AchatesCervus8337 by VitusW and given the titles "Swashbuckling Scorcher", "The Unpredictable Jedi", "Burning Fury of the Ancients", and "Combustion Knight" by DrummerBoyDragonSlayer.
hello! I need some writing/story advice. you see, I'm writing a thing and I'm a sucker for the parent/adopted kid trope, especially if the kid's not used to being cared for and slowly warms up to affection. But, in this case, I don't know how to make the characters encounter each other. The mentor figure is a 28-year-old hedgewitch who gives potions to the townspeople and grows produce to sell at the market. She's not a big fan of relationships after being screwed over when she was young and is single by choice (and because she lives alone in a cottage in the woods). Meanwhile, the kid is Felicity, a character I've played here before and I wanted to give her a good ending to her story. A witch adopting a zombie child? Adorable. But Felicity avoids people if she can because she's terrified of what they might do to her as an undead, and she is even more adverse to accepting help. Somehow it got drummed into her little head that attention and care spent on her are wasted because she's already dead and all.
So how do I start the story? I'm stumped
Why does the way you described the witch remind me of Eda the Owl Lady?

Selia, Jester, whoever else is thinking of leaving, that’s fine, take some time off if you need to. There’s no shame in needing to step back for a while. The one thing I will say, since Jester said something about not having much will to live, is please don’t hurt yourselves. Life is still worth living. If anyone reading this is triggered by Christianity, i put some more into the spoiler
Ecclesiastes 3: 1-4 states that there is a time for everything, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance. If you are going through a time of mourning right now, let that happen, but again please don’t give up, because just as much there will be a time to laugh. Thank you for reading this. Stay safe out there.

I’m not thinking of leaving (though I’m not nearly as active as I was when I first joined), but I totally agree with you.

I really like D&D, especially Ravenloft, Exandria and the Upside Down from Stranger Things. My pronouns are she/they (genderfae).
That’s highly surprising. I didn’t really have friends for a while aswell but when I was like early 12 my mom had me trying out all these random homeschool groups (with good politics, a lot of homeschoolers are homeschooled so the parents can just use Republican propaganda that can’t be used in normal schools) and eventually I found my current friends. (That probably isn’t how it works everywhere but it seems to be the main way to find homeschoolers in my state) wdym you can’t do anything?

People are leaving, and it's not like I can physically block the door or anything.
I doubt anyone would listen to me. Once someone has made up their mind on the internet, it's basically set in stone until they choose to change it themselves.

Yeah. Have some hope though, yknow how long Nothic was just Drummers long gone friend on his extended signature? Now he’s back. And there’s a couple others who’ve left and returned, and some who haven’t but basically they’ll be back soemtime hopefully. Plus Shiver will probably occasionally be on since they’re not leaving entirely, maybe during like school breaks and stuff (don’t know if they’re going to school or what age they are but I think they are)
I'm just waiting for Arch to come back at this point. I got nothing else going for me now
