I'm feeling sentimental, so a few words about what The Beggar was like as a DM. It's unfortunate that he's leaving us after all this time, but lives get hectic and we certainly expect to see him bouncing around as a player.
He was fair - whenever a player was upset, he wanted to hear both sides of the story.
He was approachable - even when he got busy, he spent a lot of time trying to help players out with fleshing out their ideas and working on applications.
He was knowledgeable - he knew a lot about both canon FR and the EfU setting, and tried to make sure that everything made sense
He was creative - sometimes too creative for his own good
He was talented - when he got in his groove, he was one of the best roleplayers on the team
He was chill - very relaxed, very nice DM who was a force for good on the team both in terms of us as a little group of Dms, and in terms of our relationship with the playerbase
His worst aspect as a DM?
He was busy. Such is life!
At any rate, thanks for the good times, you stinky old beggar you.

I will miss you. I hope you roll up a character and come hang out every now and then.

For sure the Beggar was a great guy to talk to on all matters, as he always kept a level head, and was more than accomodating.
It's unfortunate to see a good DM lay down the torch, but from what I figure, this man has paid his dues.
Looking forward to seeing you on the player side of the fence, Mister Beggar, sir.

With the beggar gone I wonder who will replace him? Dm Deputy Cool!? Dm Dr Dragon!? Dm Koa-Toa Killer!? Who on earth will replace The Beggar!?

Always helpful with providing tips with the apps.
:D
My hero, even if the apps never got approved anyways.

DM Luke Danger :P (Just HAD to make that joke!)
Still, DMs are real people too, so let's not be hard on them for wanting to retire.
Farewell The Begger, and here, a coin before you go. *tosses over 50 GP to The Begger*

*claps fist against breastplate*
Honorable discharge, to be sure. Can we give him the EfUional Medal of Honor? I don't care if that doesn't exist, it should, and he should get it.
Beggar, come back when you can!
EDIT: Just thought of this. For all of you former CoAers, this is somewhat akin to the Gurb leaving. *tear*

Beggar was one of the nicest, if not THE nicest DM. As Howland said, he was chill. Come back as a player Beggar. We'll start another crazy cult, maybe resurrect some dead gods. Nothing major.

Just decided to lay down the DM torch because I need to chill as a player rather than taking on additional stress as a DM right now. Thanks to all the players for making EfU so fun, and the whole DM team for supporting the effort. Much love to everyone.
You'll all see my characters around in game, no worries.

it was a great time to have him around and he'd helped me out of a few jams ICly a few times with various characters.
Life tends to interrupt our hobbies a lot, and must take precedence.
Here's to him truly, Escaping From the Underdark!!
