Having spent a couple months behind the scenes of another VTT, I know how much work needs to go into not just the technology, but supporting the community and a business. That's a lot to ask for a team much less one person (even if that person is as talented and enthusiastic as you!)

It's very sad to hear but it is also the times we live in that people just want things for free and don't understand the work it takes to produce something of quality.

As a TTRPG designer myself, I understand the joy and blessing it feels when others enjoy your work. Plus, with family being a priority, you want to make sure that whatever you are doing on the side is also fulfilling so you can keep some level of sanity.

I'm not very active in the TTRPG community as I was last year, but if ever you want to collaborate and need a worldbuilder/writer for some content, I very much enjoy creating content like that. Especially for setting agnostic systems.

Totally understandable to hear, but I'm glad you're at least keeping the current setup going for the foreseeable future. It's my favorite way to test my games, and I certainly haven't spent nearly enough time thanking you.

I'm grateful to know the platform and its games! Your ideas and productions made me return to the true RPG we love so much. Congratulations on the work you've done over the years and we hope you continue to produce so many cool things, as lately the RPG multiverse has lost a lot. Here's to the fun and friendship that only tabletop RPGs bring us.
