I'm going to take a break from this blog and see how I feel again in the future. It's just how I work." That really resonated with how I'm feeling and it is how I'd like to proceed. If I take a break from a hobby for at least a year, I sometimes come back to it with renewed interest. One individual wrote, "For me, I've found that I'm often passionate about specific hobbies and other interests (like sports) for about 3-6 years. Even when I make posts with 60 updates, I feel constantly behind and stressed about the high volume of games in my backlog.īefore making this choice, I reached out to a few BGG friends and got some great advice. Especially with so many Kickstarters offering PNP trials of their games and many publishers releasing PNP content to help those stuck at home or out-of-work during the COVID-19 pandemic. The volume of PNP games coming out feels like more than I could manage even if I had more time available. This has coincided with what feels like an explosion of PNP games recently. For better or worse, as my career has grown, my free time has decreased. When I started this blog, I had more time available to dedicate to games in general. My life has changed professionally as well. Recently, maintaining this blog has felt more like a second job - writing about a hobby I used to have - rather than something I am doing because it brings me joy. I don't make nearly so many PNP games as I used to. But over the years, my hobbies and interests have moved to more family activities. PNP Games used to be one of my very favorite hobbies - I found it very enjoyable to cut and glue the pieces of a game and craft something new. This is a personal decision made because of changing responsibilities in real life and my own personal interests shifting away from PNP games in general. I have made the difficult decision to take a hiatus from maintaining this blog.
