Guys, go head and give grid coordinates when you are ready to proceed on your next actions. With Eivan and Brunhilde AFK for a few more days yet, I leave it up to you if you wish to continue right now or wait.

Alright guys, shutting it down. Couple of reasons:
1. Not sure this was the right mix of players. Maybe different expectations or styles, but the chemistry across the board just wasn't there.
2. I have my doubts about dungeon crawls in the PbP environment. They can get tedious at times, but if the players don't role-play and feed off each other, then it isn't very fun to just post a sentence saying your character went to this square. As near as I can tell, no one was really having a good time for the last several weeks.
3. I have learned a fair amount about the common mentality that seems to be prevalent here at EnWorld. It just doesn't match my published expectations for this game.
On another site, I have 3-4 other groups of players in games that I DM that don't have this problem. Honestly I find myself fortunate that the first game I got into at EnWorld back in the spring has 4 good players and we are still going strong, not even stalling out while players take vacation. I enjoy playing it and I am able to post almost daily or every other day. Unfortunately, that is a unique experience as every other game I have been apart of since falls below that standard. I do not blame the GMs or even individual players for this, I think it is just the culture of this site and the players that are different are hard to find.
If it weren't for the unique settings here that I cannot find elsewhere, I would probably drop most of my games here at EnWorld to free up time to play in games with others that match my style. When I arrived, I was practically begging to play in other peoples' games, but now that is no longer the case. There are plenty of mediocre games around here that need quality players, I just want to play in a few good ones with others that post regularly and with substance. Sadly my attempt at creating one here failed. I don't plan on DMing here anymore, but I will continue to focus on my games as a player to provide the best example I can, hoping others will emulate or feed off of my style.
Happy adventuring.
