and i'm really not missing it.
for a while now, my group had been using a system that i wasn't too keen on. the campaign ended and the GM pitched a new one.
i frowned for a bit, but in the end i went "whatever, at least i can hang out with my friends."
so he runs a module or two and things are moving much slower then i had hoped, some of the pitched ideas are falling flat for me and i'm losing interest in the game world. i've long since stopped hoping for the system itself to interest me... after a few years of playing it, i still didn't warm up to it.
so when the last module ended i tipped my hat and thanked them for 7-8 years of fun, but at this point, i'm bowing out. it's not them, it's me.
that was over a month ago. they ran a one-shot while the GM got his stuff in order for the next module in the series and i'm not getting antsy and going "should i email and ask for my seat back?" like i was somewhat expecting myself to do (IE: maybe all i needed was that little break).
but no.
i'm keeping occupied with other things and other friends during the normal gaming night. while i do miss some of them (work schedules and whatnot make meeting up for non-game related stuff hard) i still find ways to keep myself entertained and to be honest, i'm having more fun.
anyone else ever been in this situation? where TTRPGs simply stopped being something you cared about?
i guess i can't say i don't care about TTRPGs. i still do. every so often i'll look up a freebie or hear some piece of information on an upcoming system or that some system i heard about months ago is finally out or getting ready to be released, but beyond that i'm just not interested in running or playing in a game.
