Cranky Dog Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I'm still willing you know guys.Starting a PbP is always the hardest part. But once it gets going... ::laugh Cranky Dog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaphysician Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 *cough* Technically, the game already started a while ago. And then died in a whimper when everyone, it seems, vanished. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metaphysician Posted September 7, 2010 Share Posted September 7, 2010 I think so.Honestly, I've learned a lesson here: I can't GM pbp. The pace kills my ability to maintain creative focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonMax Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I think so.Honestly, I've learned a lesson here: I can't GM pbp. The pace kills my ability to maintain creative focus.The pace can be controlled. This, or a variant of this, always happens eventually...usually at a scene change, or a pivotal decision point.The players aren't sure what comes next, or who should go first...or no one wants to be the first to choose...or whatever.When that happens, it's up to the GM to get the ball rolling. Sometimes a quick 'fast forward' past the trouble spot works. Sometimes an OOC "Hey, what's the holdup?" Sometimes you just need to pick someone to go next...or skip past someone.I'd like to continue, and I think it'll still work. But if you don't want to, for whatever reason, well that happens. No hard feelings.But this PBP isn't dead until you decide it is...since the PC's seem to be more or less around. I admit, I got out of the habit of checking the board...but I'd come back in a heartbeat if we started again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Dog Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 I'm still around here checking in daily just so you know.PbP games *are* slow in pace, but in exchange, you can have the best roleplaying story ever. I've seen games go on for years with the characters barely gaining any levels, but oh the stories they had to tell. Players have the time to think through their every answers instead of coming up with spur of the moment half-baked replies that may or may not be in character.I'm still very willing and wanting to play this game! ::smile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaphysician Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I love you guys, but I don't think I can jump start this game. Its not you, its the way I think and GM. Sorry.*looks around* At least the forum transfer succeeded. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I am going to keep the forum here for a bit to help people get a better chance to see the status and then I'll archive it.There are a bunch of other games on here now, so feel free to try something else out if you are interested.
