Slowly starting to fix my life
Welp, look who's back. Last time you saw me, I was making a quick post from my phone to let you know I had gotten in a car accident, followed by a period during which I tried to fix all the issues the accident had caused IRL (with studies and day job) while still being both a DM and a player here, followed by a period when I finally gave up.
Ever since, a ridiculous amount of stuff has happened: my back seemed fixed after the accident, but then suddenly got worse, and the cures I had to undertake as a result happened to have some nasty side effects I hadn't been warned about, which led to some freakish Dr. House situations. All the while, I was missing week after week of programming school, as well as week after week of work which, considering that I need the latter to pay for the former, was a major problem as I very nearly got fired. And I think it goes without saying, but my results at the aforementioned programming school haven't exactly been stellar either.
And then, after the storm, the calm. The past week has been decisive in finally getting my life back on track, as my health conditions are more or less fixed and my daily schedule is stabilizing: of course, my first thought was to return here, but before I did, I wanted to be sure everything was truly back to normal, so that I'd be absolutely sure to be able to commit to any serious activity here... And to be honest, it's still quite difficult: if I pace myself and avoid piling up too much stuff on myself, I should be able to find the time for two games, one as a player and eventually one as DM (it's been a while, and I really enjoy DMing). I exclude I'll be able to do more than this for a while, tho.
So yeah, I guess this is me reintroducing myself, and hoping to be able to restart a life here. I also must apologize to Djinnoxide, as I saw the rant he wrote in the ad of his latest game: I know that I am one of the causes of his frustrations, so yeah, I sincerely regret how things have turned out. Sadly, everything that has transpired was well beyond my control.
With this being said, I hope this can be the fresh new beginning I so desperately need: I'm particularly hyped up to play some 5e because I finally got my hands on XGE and holy smokes, isn't that book the best thing ever.
