My Final Game as Storyteller: The Assassination of Angelo (June 16 - 19th, 2014)

To everyone, storytellers and players alike in the World is a Vampire chronicle, I (Bruce) am stepping down as a storyteller. Next week, the week of June 15th through the 21st is my final week of storytelling. I didn't come to this decision quickly, I have been mulling it over for the last couple of years, but today, something clicked and made my decision simple. As soon as I made the decision, I felt a vast weight leave my psychologically and as such, I knew that it was the correct decision. The truth is, that my storytelling had been going down-hill for quite a while and could see it, but nothing I did really seemed to make a difference and recently I could see that I was going to hit a point where I was going to begin to do damage to the game and I wanted to leave the storyteller position before that happened. I didn't want to ruin any memories or friendships and that was clearly where I was headed. The other reason is that for decades, literally, I have been running Vampire. Since I picked up the game during the summer of 1992 and it was my favorite game to run and play within. Lately however, I had started to see it as work, I was treated it as a shift at King Soopers, just doing my time and getting by, which was wrong for so many reasons. Anyway, regardless of what you may think of my decision, I hope the game will continue and that none of you will take this as a slight against you. While its cliche, there was nothing wrong with anyone but me. I do hope to play and having made the decision to lay down the ST position, I am looking forward to play my character, somewhere, anywhere with another player or two.
