I have a confession to make. And an apology to my readers.
I'm suffering from depression.
It's taken me a long time to finally admit it. Back in December I chalked it up to what a buddy of mine calls "Blogpression." I'm ready to admit that it's gone beyond that. I'm fighting it, at least enough to be marginally functional. Usually it's not too debilitating, at least to my regular life.
But gaming, no matter how fun it is, is only a game right now. It's not my life. And it has to take a backseat to my family, especially when I only have enough physical and emotional energy to deal with one or the other.
This is not to say I don't have blog-fodder. In fact, it's just the opposite: I have several reviews I need to type up, and a couple maps I need to scan and upload. I just don't have the ... oomph ... right now to get over the hump and actually do it.
This isn't an announcement that the blog is going into hiatus or disappearing or anything of the kind. It's more of an apology: I know I don't contribute a lot, but I try, and I like to think that what I DO contribute is enjoyed somewhere out there. And to that (likely) single person... I apologize and promise that more is coming soon.

Your blogging is valuable to me, at least, and I enjoy your posts.
Take the time to treat your depression, and I'm sure we'll wait patiently for your posts as you take care of more important things.
Don't feel pressured. Sometimes it's all you can do to just put one foot in front of the other.
Look after yourself. As someone who also suffers from depression I can sympathise. No matter how often you post, rest assured we'll still be around to read them.
