A short hiatus
Hello, folks! I’m posting to announce that I’ll be taking a short hiatus from IndieRPGs.com.
I didn’t want to do this, but guess what? It turns out that developing a game, working full time, running a Kickstarter campaign, and being the only person running this site daily are simply too many things for me to handle at once. (It’s hard to believe, I know, but it’s true.)
To tide you over until my triumphant return, please enjoy some articles and reviews I’ve written in the past!

I know the feeling, you just can’t do everything at the same time. Best of luck with all the projects you are currently focussing on. And I hope your writing itch will return soon enough :).
I’m very sorry to hear this. It’s part of my routine to read your site every morning. It’s always very informative and I’m going to miss it. Good luck with your other endeavours.
Don’t worry, I’m not leaving forever; I’m just taking a short break. I’ll be back!
Another thank you from an internet person. I check this site daily and will eagerly await its glorious return. In the meantime, hope your Kickstarter hits its goal!
Dammit, where do I get my Indie RPG news from now? This is the only decent source, AFAIK.
Best of luck for your other projects!
Hey Craig, you’re doing a great job! I am following this site since I stepped on it the first time. Good luck!
All the best tand thanks for providing us with interesting indie RPG news in the past! 🙂
