Running this game takes up a lot of my time. Time I'm afraid I won't have as the year progresses. Currently, I'm considering stopping this game and do something that requires less of my time. Not only does this work in the interest of my schedule, but it's better than doing it at the last moment when we're invested more in the game, maybe even in the middle of a war. What do you say?

If you don't think you'll be able to have the time to effectively GM this as the year goes on it may be best to just put this aside before the ball really gets rolling.
