A few people (myself included) have submitted adventures for approval without response from the judges. Proposals have gone unanswered, new adventures don't have assigned judges, and the approval queue hasn't been touched in months.
I'm going to assume, for one reason or another, that the judges have abandoned the game.
If this campaign is to survive, we need to do something.
Option 1 - Immediately appoint new judges.
I am willing to do it, but I'll need a few more volunteers.
Option 2 - Forget the Judges
This would mean:
1. No adventure approvals. You want to run something, go for it. Let's just make an agreement that we won't hand out an artifacts that stick around beyond the scope of an adventure and found items are limited to PC level +4.
2. No adventure judges. This means that there is no more senior authority in a game that the DM (though DMs can always seek opinions from the community). If a game is abandoned by the DM then the players would only earn rewards for completed encounters and time rewards up to the point the game was last active.
3. No character approvals. Mistakes would be handled as they are discovered. I've played other shared world campaigns that didn't have approvals. The game didn't blow up because someone discovered they've been doing something wrong, even if they've been doing it for a long time.
Option 3 - The old judges show up.
