Gears within wheels within spheres within...wossnames! You, Piratecat, are a complex, complicated man.
Merric, I feel your pain. I've been struggling with that same pain for quite some time in both my
PbP games. Of course, meatspace time isn't quite as immediate in such a venue, but it's still an urgent issue. In my 3rd edition homebrew game, I'm about to whisk my PC's (and a couple NPC's) off to Golarion for a little Legacy of Fire love. Then they can find their way back, save the cheerleader, and live happily ever after. As even bigger fish.
My Eberron campaign has suffered major player attrition, to the point that my only participant is my wife. In which case, 'Whatever Lola Wants....'
But then, ignore the noob, I vote for working with Master Piratecat's suggestions.
