I haven't quite made up my mind whether I like DROD or not. For some time now I haven't been playing at all, and haven't even visited the forums. Suddenly I got the urge for the game again, and here I am writing this. I might even try to make a little hold some time soon, even though at one point I convinced myself I don't want to make any more at all. Apparently I couldn't just make up my mind for good.

I kind of wish I could have a more constant view of DROD. I'd like not to burn out on the game anymore, but just keep enjoying it a little bit now and then.

But it's actually really hard to say what is my real opinion of the game. Sometimes I think it is great, but then sometimes I think I shouldn't keep playing anymore, because it's not for me. If only my opinion would settle down for good and stop bothering me.

I hope this didn't sound too dramatic! I just wanted to vent a bit (& subtly inform the assembled multitudes that I am alive, well & have plans). Any advice on dealing with DROD ennui would be welcome of course, before it returns for the next time.

How's your long-time relationship with DROD working out?

I have some of the same conflicting feelings about DROD RPG.

DROD is something I come back to and play in spurts, then ignore for a while, repeat ad infinitum. It's my thing, I do believe. I just wish I were creative enough for architecture.

Tendry's Tale, on the other hand, is something I try once and flee in horror once I figure out what it's about.

Back when I could actually beat half the released holds, I was all about DROD. I dunno. I don't play it much now because I can never get anywhere in anything new.

I think you'd be amazed if you tried the two latest holds
