When, I moved here 11 years ago, I left a excellent group of players behind. 
It took me two years to find some players that made the grade. Now, I have 
about three gaming groups. Two are hardcore D&D genre and the other group is 
let's see what this game is about, they are willing to take a risk and play 
something different.

My problem is when I am in this funk, I don't want to do nothing at all... 
just to sit and relax. I don't enjoy playing as well. I just want to sit 
back for a few days and not game at all.

>Burnout happens to everyone at some point.

Hence, burning bright. All good things must come to an end... eventually.
