the end of a world...

[felis_ultharus]

I ended the campaign today. Since deciding to end the adventure, my heart wasn't in it, and there was no way to wrap up all the loose ends in a single adventure. So I just cleared up the mysteries, and announced what I'd been planning from the beginning.

montrealais bought little pastries, and got me an end-of-campaign gift. We'd been playing for a little over a year.

I think I'll focus my creative energies more on writing now.

Next time I DM, it'll be a different world, so I said goodbye to this one for good. It's strange, setting the Apocalypse on characters you've crafted so carefully, you feel like you know them.

Although I haven't been there for a bit, I still want to thank you for some truly enjoyable times. You had some truly inspired storytelling and some moments gave me some of the best laughs of my life!

Galiah thanks you for your patience with her antics and hopes the fish will be kind.

Thank you ^_^

One of these days, I'll have to fill you in all the mysteries left uncovered. There was still about a year's worth of material (too long to post here), and I filled foi_nefaste, em_fish, and montrealais in on it.

Galiah was a gift of a character to DM, and a vital part of the chemistry that made the game work for so long. When I brought Black Leaf, her arch-nemesis back, I realized it just wasn't the same. The interaction between them was most of the fun of Black Leaf as a villain. I cut back her role significantly, after that.

Galiah shall be missed.
