Two days ago I resigned from my duties as GM leader, now I would like to announce this to you, the players, as well.
I have started playing PS four years ago. I was active as player, then as GM, settings dev and finally GM lead.
It was a long run with many ups and downs. I found many friends and people I respect for their personality and skills.
I always tried to be just and fair as GM as I saw the position more as a mediator than a policeman who has to put evildoers into jail.
The same counted for the position as GM lead, at which I hoped to help and guide as advisor, not as much as a dictator.
As such I wanted to be an example for the GMs and make their ruling over the players a just and fair one.
Investigate and mediate, that was the base in most cases, and I think it was the right one.
As much as I liked the job and most of the people, personal problems grew while my spare time to handle them waned, so I decided it was time to move on and face new (RL) challenges.
Maybe I'll have more time now to play casually again.. or maybe not. Future will tell.
