If there's one thing that I have found to be universally true when it comes to endeavours and products, it's that you can have them "cheap, quick or good; choose two".
It goes without saying that the Astral Sea blog has been cheap (it's free, after all) and I like to think that it's been good, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to squeeze quick in there.
Work is keeping me busy, and then Mrs Colmarr and the Colmarrs Jnr occupy most of my time outside of work hours. I have enough free time to play D&D, but it's becoming increasingly difficult to find the time to blog about it. The impending move from the player chair to the DM chair is likely to result in an increase of time devoted to playing D&D, and that takes even more time away from the blog.
Long-term readers have probably already noticed the downturn in content, and for that I apologise. I took stock of things over the long weekend just passed and have reached the conclusion that I don't want to do things by halves. If I can't update the blog regularly (I can't), then I'd rather not update it at all.
With all of the above in mind, I think it's only fair to let you know that the Astral Sea will be going on indefinite hiatus almost immediately. I'll probably maintain some form of Zeitgeist campaign thread over on the ENworld boards for those of you who are interested in following along. If I do, I'll post a link to it here on the Astral Sea.
To everyone else, thank you for accompanying me on this foray into the blogging world. It's a job for professionals, but it's also pretty damn fun. Your involvement has been a blast!
A well deserved rest, just don't forget to come back!
ReplyDeleteI wish you could give up the Zeitgeist and keep going with the encounter analyses, but it sounds like the Zeitgeist is what you really feel compelled to do.
ReplyDeleterecently stumbled onto your blog following a link to your Sinruth-redux. I'm stealing it for a Darksun campaign soon ;p, so thanks for that and some other inspiring posts.
ReplyDeleteHave fun and thanks!

Going to miss the blog - especially the read through of SoW, which has been a great help with my run of it!

Thanks for all the posts -- I've been following for a while. Also, thanks for turning me on to Zeitgeist.. I'm not a regular reader at ENWorld; now, I'm itching to try it out and hoping I can convince my group to switch over once we finish Beyond the Mottled Tower in a couple of months.
