[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 5928967, member: 29558"] And we're walking . . . :D I've been trying to think of a few ways to cut some of the dross from this game and make it a little more focused; sandbox style is awesome in that it allows the group to have almost complete say-so in where they go and what they do, but it requires, I think, more focus and initiative on the group's part than is typical for PbP. It also requires that the GM post more frequently to help the group maintain that focus, which I have most definitely NOT been doing with this game. I've struggled with the change in "cast" in both of my AP games, I think. Before I actually put a LOT of effort into this, let me ask your preference: Assuming I can/will put more effort into a higher posting rate in either case, would you all rather keep the total sandbox approach of this part of the AP, or would you rather me take a more "railroad-y" approach and push it along?
