| Sadly I've come into some bad times.
I don't know if its Depression, boredom, being hungover or what.
I might be getting out of the DDM scene and out of the spamming the boards scene too

| Don´t feel bad friend, sometimes people get bored of things... maybe you should take a vacation of the hobby for a while, maybe do other things, other kind of hobbie, and then you´ll see that you miss this hobby and back again  | |

| For a moment, I thought this thread was about Sade and some sort of cd/mini crossover promotion....Sade, Epic Bard.

I hope it evens out for you. You could have a contest with your paintball gun and shooting people.
Award commons for any shot without padding.
Award uncommons for a soft area
Award a rare for a "crotch-shot".
It's just a thought, anyways....

| Here I was thinking that somebody at WotC had died or something....
And you being sad somehow has something to do with DDM?
I think this would definitely fall into the Off topic realm....
Is there a forum for people feeling sucky?

Buck up, DJ. Burnout just means you need to take a few steps away. Paintballing is probably a good change of pace. | |

| You are not the first poster I've seen announce retirement.
A blue streak is quite understandable at this time. With price increases from WotC and a possible reduction in discounted product available there may be good financial reasons to get out. There is also the end of summer and the start of fall and winter to consider; for all the bad weather you hear about other places few people realize the effect of a 100 degree temperature swing that the upper midwest experience.
A few possible pointers to avoid burnout:
1. Get another hobby so that one doesn't consume all your energy.
2. Go on a mini diet. Limiting your aquisition of new minitures will make getting new ones all the sweeter. Absence makes the heart grow fonder or so they say.
3. Start over. Take moderate approach and help someone new into the game. They'll help give you a new (and hopefully improved) perspective.

And this thread seems incompatible with this one.

| i think i know what your talking about, WOTDQ wasent all THAT great, it had a few nice sculpts, but it just doesnt seem to be all that, and with that following wardrums, the dull and boring thought is crossign everyones mind.  hopefuly bloodwars will be alot like deathknell, and we'll have a breath of new life into the hobby  although, i REALLY like the griffon cavalry mini..... | |
