The legendary samurai, with tears in his eyes, walked among the stands in his silent Coliseum. Where there were once crowds of people, now there is nothing but trash and dust. He sighs as he looks out to the center, down into the fighting ring. He stood there, once, with grand delusions of power and ability. He thought he understood what he was getting himself into.
He was dead wrong.
The samurai drew his sword, walked down the stands, and jumped into the fighting ring. He plunged the sword into the ground, causing a ripple in the surrounding air as he let go of the hilt. He walked away through the gate, slowly, refusing to break down. His last whisper on the wind resonated throughout the empty air...
“I’m sorry...”

I’ve made my decision. The third Season of OAFL is gonna have to either be picked up by someone else or left to die. I can’t carry on with this - I thought I could originally, but I no longer have the willpower or motivation to keep this going.
I truly am sorry, I understand how it must feel to those of you who spent so long creating a loadout then never got a fight. Hopefully you can convince one of the other GMs to pick up the reigns.
It’s been an awesome ride, y’all. I had a lot of fun over the past few months. But I took on way too much, way more than I can handle.
As a result, Broken Honor might be delayed a little longer as well. Life is getting difficult for me, guys. Not necessarily hard to carry on, it just feels difficult to [i]care[/i] about everything around me.
I feel mentally and physically and emotionally exhausted all the time, and I don’t know why. Maybe cutting back on the amount of stress built up by feeling like I need to continue OAFL and Broken Honor will help.

Edit: Good news, everyone! Toaster will be taking over OAFL in the future, he's currently working on some simpler mechanics to instantiate and, in my honest opinion, what he's got will likely work much better than what I had. Everyone wish him luck and support him as he attempts to clean up the mess that I've made of this!

Ronin, I want to thank you for bringing this back in the first place. Without you I never would have known this was a thing, and while I only had one fight, playing around with the arena was so much fun. Hopefully another DM can take the reigns, and if not, we all had a blast. Sincerely, Bopsheezi Tenebrae, the Iberian Lynx P.S. we still have a tie to settle, and without the OAFL, the battle will be extremely dangerous.
