And the worst part of all of it is that I'm still feeling hurt and upset about the actual thing that happened. We talked and I'm still upset.
The solution is for me to adapt to how they play, but what a few of the players seem to want out of the game isn't what I want.
I don't even know if I like gming anymore. Or if I ever did. It's always been miserable for me. It's always like pulling teeth. I always put so much in and get nothing out.
They all sent me kind, reassuring messages. I want to die

I started reuploading some of my games on to RPG trader. Keep an eye out for Storm Rats v.2. I'm finishing up some layout stuff this week, then it will be up. It's had a complete overhaul of its systems and is much more of a complete game than the previous version rpg-trader.com/creator/1524...

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us
