I took a small pause on DMing for my 2+ year on-going 5e game starting in December for personal reasons. They just hit tier 3 and didn't have the correct time to prep. I was just wrapping up all of their on-going hooks so some of the background hooks needed to get moved to center stage. So lots of work with no time to work on it. I think I might get to next week when off work.
While I am off from DMing another player took up theDM mantle, so I got be a player on a 5e starwars / spelljammer campaign. We have done a few sessions so far and I really enjoy being a player. I do always keep in the back of head about what I would have differently if I was DMing but I am enjoying it. Also my complaints are small mostly related to asking if the players wanted to do something before doing the obvious next choice.
We did a short Star Wars FFG campaign where I was a player again which was pretty fun. Much easier to run with an online dice roller but obviously more fun in person. It was a pretty fun game and system but just had a few strange things happening. But the choices and character advancement was pretty cool
The DM of my current game is literally in the same boat as you, we've gone into tier 3 and he's asked for a hiatus because wrapping up the complex web of all of our side adventures, plus our own lives making us all exhausted for games needed reworking.
In the meantime we've just played Alics is Missing which was a blast, I'm looking forward to our DM being ready to restart but only when he's ready.
