Ok, here's a question for you GMs out there, or anybody really. I have a problem right now. I've started an RP, but as soon as it began I started losing interest in it. I can't really say why I've started losing interest, it's just suddenly I feel like its a chore rather than fun. Maybe I'm just not built for GMing (though I've run multiple RPs on the old guild without falling into this rut) or... Something. I'm not really sure. I don't want to disappoint all of my players by just dropping it out of the blue, but I don't want to continue either. Do any of you ever feel like this? What do you do once you've just lost interest in your RP?
Ok... I have three level ups for Grendel, trying to think of more. Any ideas?
OH THATS WHAT I FORGOT TO SAY.

Congrats on getting married Gisk :D
Ok, I'll get started on Grendel's upgrades and other gear.
Riley smiled. "That's the spirit!" she exclaimed, throwing a fist up into the air. Tonight, she had a little something special planned. She'd picked up a new book from her 'friends' at the antiques shop and there was a particular method for communicating with the dead, but she needed to get a skull. Sneaking into the local museum was out of the question (though talking to the skull of some guy from colonial times would be cool), but there was bound to be an intact skeleton at the church graveyard. Maybe. She remembered her first time here, before she'd decided to show Lily her hobby.

It was a cool, Fall night and she'd just begun practicing necromancy for the first time after the 'incident', and she'd decided to try bringing back a recently buried man. Not just as an undead, but actually alive and fully sentient, something she'd only managed once before. It went... Badly, to say the least.

Riley dismissed the thought and continued down the road. Only a block or two away they'd find themselves at the church, and next to it would be their target: the grave yard. Riley pulled up her hood and brushed her hair back to keep it hidden, then turned back to Lily. "You listening to something right now?"
And maybe throw in a hammer, a screwdriver and a wrench. Y'know, for versatility.
It was a beautiful night, the stars were shining and the moon was bright and full. A few cars drove along the city streets, heading home, to bars, or countless other places. A pair of figures walked along the sidewalk, one of them carrying a duffel bag with the logo of Keyport University on the side. Riley stretched out her arms and breathed in the salty air with a smile on her face.

"Ok, so I've decided we should stay away from the graveyards for a while with the close call we had last week," Riley began, shifting the heavy duffel bag around on her shoulder. "Ugh, you'd think they'd have like, lighter shovels or something. Anyways, I thought 'Hey, let's go over to that little hill outside of town, they buried a bunch of guys there way back in the Civil War or something', then I realized, they never fought any Civil War battles here, at least none in the history books. So I went and did some research, and as it turns out that it wasn't a bunch of Civil War soldiers, it's supposed to be an Indian burial ground," Riley stopped to take a breath and continued. "So I'm like 'I'm not gonna mess with that,' because sometimes they actually did have magic, y'know? Anyways, that's why we're going to the old Wessman crypt at their estate," she finished, before suddenly stopping and spinning around to face her friend.

"Wait, you think they still have security and stuff there? I mean, the estate isn't being sold, and I think they're planning to demolish it, but then they also want to turn it into a museum since they were like war heroes or something. Maybe we should just hit the graveyard by the church like we used to. What do you think?" Riley folded her arms across each other and scrunched up her face like she always did when she was thinking hard.
Ok, here's the OOC

The young necromancer Riley practices her art in secret with the assistance of her friend Lily, who might be keeping a few secrets of her own...
May or may not be a social commentary of the effects of advancing shovel technology on America.
Or you could do what I thought would've been awesome with Gaige and actually raise robots we've killed :v

Haha thanks Strangelander! Looking forward to seeing your Beast in action too! By charging attack do you mean something like a bull? Cuz if so that's really interesting hahaha.

Yeah, something kinda like that, directly followed by being torn to ribbons for whoever ends up at the end of the charge.
Oh man, I'm loving the idea of a mime-siren :p

And Tunks: for the action skill dealio, I think it's just that just summoning a robot is what Gaige does, so maybe Maverick has some more specific function?

Oh, and a bit of clarification on Grendel's Rip and Tear, I was envisioning less as a Melee-mode like Brick and Krieg, and more like a charging attack designed for targeting a specific enemy or clump of enemies. Further upgrades might make it more viable for attacking more enemies though.
