Gen Con

New update Tuesday night.

Wednesday I will be shipping out for Gen Con so feel free to post all you want in that time. I will be back in town on Monday so the next post from me will probably be the next Tuesday.

Hope to see you at the Con!

Gen Con was so much fun! Coming back to work was not, though.

Anyone else want to post before I do?

Welcome back.. don't suppose you saw anything on Shadowrun 4?

FYI.. what do I need to 'break the lock' Kyle has on the widget? More time? A hero point?

What?

I did see a pretty big push for Shadworun. However, I have only played it once, so I did not pay a whole lot of attention to it. I did pick up a few promo posters for my buddy Terry. Actually, I love the concept of Shadowrun and it is one of the pre-existing games I would like to play. There just never seems to be a good game going on for me.

And the widget is only a matter of time (and not a lot of it, either...).

Question to my players...

I hate to suggest this but I think I need to.

I am looking at ending the game.

I have gone over the posting stats for the last three months and they are not good. I know people get busy and run out of time, I am every bit as guilty of that as anyone else. We have lost Unicron and Radiant and Syncronicity appear lost as well. Kid A, Keia, Kangaxx and Kain (a lot of K going on there) all make a good attempt to keep up. Velmont, the one who left the country for awhile, is the only one with more posts than me (by 1) in the last 3 months.

No hard feelings if this is how it goes. I would be happy to divulge any secrets you want to know about where things were headed. I just don't see us getting there.

What do all of you say?

I think that the game was/is going good, but the loss of other players has made things difficult. Unfortunately, there's not a chance to re-recruit, unless someone picked up the existing characters and continued them.

I am very interested in the story and will admit that posting has been tough - mostly due to waiting to see what people were doing (at least from Lorenzo's point of view).

I would suggest a recruiting posting to get new blood in the game, then if that fails wrap it up.

I undersatnd that we have major holes in posting lately. We have missing people and sparodic posts from people who are still on board. I have been in that boat of not knowing what to post because there is no one to post against. That is when characterization comes in. As hard as it is to post, if no one posts there is no game and it seesm like that is where we are headed.

We will see how the others feel. Thanks for your support Keia and Radiant. I will leave the topic open until Tuesday night (due to the holiday).

Nuke I think the main problem of this story is that you put TOO MUCH effort into it. I would go crazy trying to work out as much detail as you did. Sometimes you should jsut skip time, like a comic book. No one realy cares what place we spent the night at, what regions we drove through etc.
Make it easy for yourself, if it does not serve a dramatic or story purpose just don't mention it. We spend incredible amounts of time on details, which ends in Keias and my situation of not knowing what to do and even worse, a lot of work for you. Plus it eats time.
I have done that in my first game and it was the reason I closed it, it just ate all my fun.
Of course I have no idea if that is really the problem and even if it is I lack the language to really describe what I mean but for a change I will at least try to help if I can.
