Resigning as GM
«

It is time for me to hand my GM batch to another.
The plot is nearing its end and the remaining parts are in very capable hands.
So, after more years than I care to count I am resigning from my position as GM in Layonara's amazing Team of GMs.
Before I move on to being 'just' a player I have one thing I would like to ask all you players out there:
At times on quests where you feel wronged or feel that the outcome was not fair, please try to remember why the GMs are here. They are here to make this world around your characters a living and breathing entity that provides you with entertainment and fun. That is the basic idea.
So, instead of taking the fight to the GM and/or the Team, try to consider whether the incident in question is one that your character might deal with in an IC fashion - perhaps that was the intent of the GM in the first place.
Like you, GMs are people and people will walk away if you rattle them enough. After all, they are not acting GMs for their own sake, but for the sake of others.
This was not based on a recent episode or a current situation in game. Please consider this a plea that you might consider in the future. I have seen it happen too many times over the years and it simply burns people out, which ends up making this place less colourful and alive.
Finally, I wish you all the very best of luck and hope that many of you will continue to contribute to this magical place that is Layonara. For me the time has come to move on, although I will probably be around with Kobal now and then.
Kind regards,
Harlas

Layo is losing a great GM, but is getting a great player in return.

Once you've been a DM, evil as a character just doesn't cut it. *cough*
Thank you Harlas for all the unseen hours you've put in. Hope you had as much fun as we did.
Regards,

Thanks Harlas, you quests were always dangerous, exciting, well planned and fun; not necessarily in that order. Hope to see your characters in game more often...will be fun.

Thank you Harlas for your many contributions to Layonara. You've enriched my experience here over and over again as both a GM and a player and I hope you continue to do so as a player.

Thank you Harlas for putting in your efforts in as a DM and as a player. I learnt a thing or two from you. Hoping to see you around more often as a player.

You're the man Harlas, you deserve some time off after all your hard work.
Besides, it's not like Dezza has enough to do anyway...

Always enjoyed your quests. You really had great stories for your quests and they always were very well prepared.
