That's too bad. I was enjoying getting into the somewhat alien mindset of an android and you had a really interesting twist on the old theme of a generation ship.

On the other hand, if you're not interesting in GMing it, it doesn't make sense for you to keep doing so.

Yeah. My bad. A really bad decision by me I think.

I will be sending this to the graveyard today. 100 million-billion apologies.

Are you sure you aren't just burned out on GMing? This is the second game you've decided to stop. Maybe you just need a break from running them.

I'm actually thinking about not dropping Tao and doing a system change. This doesn't have to do with GMing really.

I'd love to keep playing Tao. It's probably my favorite game right now. And that has everything to do with the characters and the adventures and isn't really system dependent.

What system are you thinking of using? It seems like A Song of Ice and Fire could work for this with minimal tinkering, mostly just changing some of the specializations, maybe adapting some of the benefits and flaws that are setting-specific.

I really like ASoIaF's system.

I might do that.

But, I'm with you, I like the game. I actually started liking it even more when I totally gave up worrying about the system, basically, we're just doing systemless right now. I'd probably not want to continue doing that all the way, but it is a relief that I don't have to pour through my GURPS books to find something.

We should continue this discussion over there.

I apologize that I wasn't able to get more into this game. I had problems building my character without a system in place. I love the idea and if you were to revisit it at a later time I would be very interested in playing in it.

No, it certainly isn't anyone else's fault. Going to the graveyard now.
