Having to delay playtesting on my game

In frustrating news, I just don't have the mental energy these days to run my weekly game, and then incorporate the feedback into the rules for the following week. I've gotten a lot of good feedback, but with moving my fiance to Canada and the general state of the world, other things need that effort each week. In response I'm moving the game over to Pathfinder 1e.

making the hard decision that I don't think I have the energy right now to work on my TTRPG while also running it as a weekly game, not with the state of the world.

asking the group if they'd be okay switching to Pathfinder 1e since it's the closest to 3.5 which I can damn without a whole lot of effort

Ugggg. I've been working on my RPG each week, getting together the parts of it that I need next week and incorporating feedback from the players during quiet times at work.

However the last week I just can't even look at it. I just wind up staring at my phone

(Player is from Japan)

The spirit has now turned into a fey. My Paladin from the woods is going "YOU ARE BREAKING ALL THE RULES, DO THEY NOT TEACH THIS TO CHILDREN WHERE YOU ARE FROM?"

Dammit, the wizard is giving the spirit a name now. You can spot the person not familiar with European mythology. #EvenshiirCampaign

From the Phoenix’s Ashes: Adapting The Sunless Citadel, Part 2

Trolls Trolls will be another creation of the fleshcrafters, taking a larger animal and twisting it into something hateful in an attempt to create a perfect shock troop to run at the front of the lines. Made tough and regenerating so that arrow fire doesn't bring them down before they reach the front lines, long arms and claws to deal with spear-wielding front lines, and a hateful love of violence to ensure they are willing to fight.
