I'm sick, Here's my note!

To whom this may concern

Please note that Phil, that you know under the pseudonym of The Chatty DM, hasn’t been blogging much in the last few days as he’s been stricken with a bad case of stress-induced insomnia. He’s focusing his creative writing on his freelance adventure.

I told him to exercise more and eat more vegetables but he doesn’t listen to me anymore.

Phil’s Mom.

There you go, I have a note!

I’m ok, just so damned tired all the time.

If things don’t turn around soon, I may start re-posting oldies but goodies from my 500+ library of posts.

All the best and do enjoy the weekend!

The Chatty DM is the "nom de plume" of gamer geek Philippe-Antoine Menard. He has been GMing various versions of D&D and other RPGs for nearly 30 years. A renowned RPG blogger, game designer and published author, he squats a corner of Critical Hits he affectionately calls "Musings of the Chatty DM." (Email Phil or follow him on Twitter.)

    Clearly a fake. It’s not even signed properly……….

    Time to put out a call for guest bloggers, perhaps, so you can take a well earned break :D

    Get well soon, M’sieur.

    Thanks man.

    Damn, I was never good at forgeries.

    Its like that time a friend of mine copied my homework once and write my name on top of the page!

    I can sympathize.

    I suffer from child induced insomnia… because she never sleeps in her own bed and I am constantly finding her knees in my back!

    @Mad Brew: “Child induced insomnia” <- that’s just too precious! I’ll be using this all the time, now :)

    This non post is the funniest in a long time!

    Lol, you’ve got to love “child-induced insomnia”. Though I suppose it could be the same as stress-induced insomnia in many cases.

    It’s blog-induced insomnia for me. Ever since the Network opened up, I can’t stop reading until 2:00 am. It’s already 12:30 and I still have 82 posts to catch up on.

    @Chatty, take it easy.

    @greywulf: But make sure you don’t apply it too early; the wife gets pissed.

    Hope you get well soon Chatty!

    I’m suffering from “Finals Are Coming And I Must Study Like Crazy” Insomnia. I am also struggling to write a 10-pager essay on Museums, which I have decided to just wing through as best as possible. I can feel for ya Chatty. At least your work is probably far more fun! Hope you get better soon.

    Here you go…
    a prescription for a solid afternoon of drama-free geekout.

    after one or two repeat of the treatment, the prognosis should be positive.
