Experience

[garyh]

So, does anyone have an idea for a campaign, or should we work one up as a group? I, as usual, always have several ideas that can be extrapolated upon if nobody else can think of anything.

Shawll we assume D&D 3.5? Anything more exotic and we may lose people for lack of books.

Dang, I would love to play but if your looking for 1,000+ posts I don't qualify. If, however, you decide that you just want people who are experienced and who would like a very high post count game, consider me as a hopefull player.

I agree, 3.5 if it's ok with anyone... anyone prefer 3.0 speak now or forever hold your peace.

3.5 gets my vote... Not that I think I get a vote, but if it's a month away my post count should be at 1000 by then.

 

[Thels]

the 1000 posts isn't a problem. I got that easily covered next month as well. The yearly member IS a problem. I agree with Jemal's reasoning behind it though, even if it rules me out.

PS. Jemal, what's the status on that Epic game?

I may be late to this one, but I'll put in my 'me,me!'.I am a bit layed up right now, but I am trying to limp to the comp a few times a day.


Jemal, what happened to the Githyanki Smashing game...

You are in one of mine that is almost a year old, and will finish (fairly soon)...and one that you need to post more in often...

Opps, I thought it was either or, and not both.. I guess I'm SOL also. I understand it also, I have had two games up and die on me since started playing PbP.

Uriel - I went away for a week and it sank, and I *Said very sheepishly and embarrassed-like*um, forgot about it.
(Oh yeah, that makes me sound like someone who should be complaining about things dieing, eh?)
I'll go dig it up again and see if everyoen's still interested. I went and found some of the stuff I had planned, so I can still run it.

As to the game, I'll post more often, promise. Just been trying to think of what to post lately, but I think I've got a few ideas.

Thels - I'm not too sure, I was wondering that myself.. people just kinda stopped talking before I was ready to restart the thing. I'll give her one more try, though.

Brother Shatterstone - We'll probably be deciding who to have in the game soon here, soon as we figure out the specifics of what we'll be doing, how many PC's, etc.

I too, had considered applying strict entry requirements on the game I DM, but rejected it because I didn't feel I had the personal cachet to do so. I can understand why a DM wouldn feel awkward making such a demand. But here, the DM doesn't have to. The players are here. The DM just needs to show.

<parasnip>

I went through exactly the same thought process with my game. If I run another, I think that i will use some form of screening.

I will meet one requirement as of the day after tomorrow. But I still consider myself a newbie (as I'm in Jemels "newbie" game). When I started I kind of felt that one would be a newbie til they finished a game or two. Now I think that finishing a game would make you "a very lucky person".

... Maybe I'm just bad for game longevity, b/c other people don't seem to have as much trouble keeping games going. ...

I have wondered about this as well. Some games seem to explode into life. Partly its the combination of players, but I also feel that I (as a GM) bear some responsibilty for the pace and texture of my game. I just havn't been able to get it up a gear. I must admit that I have been lurking on a few of those games to get some ideas. I would be interested to hear how those who have pulled if off think about it.

Anyway, I'm drifting even more OT here so I'll get out of your way. Good luck.

As much as I dislike certain elements of 3.5, I'm good with going for it.

For the type of game... I think an epic-type 'save the world' kind of game would be fun, for us veterans to go through.
