To those individuals I was playing with the last time I was here, I owe you a very large apology. I realize I vanished without word or notice and left you to hang in the wind. I cannot convey the sincerity of how sorry I am to have done that to you. I can only offer a very belated explanation and hope that you can understand.
First, my computer died. Completely dead, in the realm of Hades and beyond. I could not get it to do anything but turn on and give me a blank screen. Dred attempted to bring it back to life for me, but came to the conclusion that it would need to be rebuilt. This wasn't exactly something we had money for, nor was it on the top of the priority list. He did offer a laptop, but for those of you who know me, a laptop is pretty much a useless paperweight that I can do very little with. So, I had to wait as we slowly acquired the replacement parts I needed one at a time, as we could afford it.
Then I had to wait for a screen large enough to actually see my computer. (currently I am using a 55 inch TV which works rather well). Regardless, all of this took time. Anyway, at this point I do have everything back up and running (obviously) and I do apologize for the amount of time it has taken me to return. As I currently have no idea what state the city is in or what happened while I was gone, I am not sure if I will be asking to revive any of the characters I was playing when I disappeared. Not sure if that is fair to others.
Just wanted to let those of you know that I am aware of what the sudden absence of characters can do and how it can affect things. It was not my intention to leave anyone in limbo.
