[QUOTE="doghead, post: 4330677, member: 8243"] Yeah, pretty much. Just have a look at my character graveyard. I stopped updating it a few years ago as well. As mentioned, people drop out for all sorts of reasons. Some of them are unavoidable. Some of them are self inflicted. Jumping into too many games, as a player or DM or both, is a common one in this category. Another factor, I think, is the isolation of PbP gaming. There is very little communication and feedback in most games. As a DM, I felt this most acutely. There were times I was pretty sure that some of the players were feeling a bit indifferent. Posting was down, and post were minimal. But very rarely was anything said, even in response to a direct question. Without being able to see your companions, it is hard to tell. But I know that I, when things slow down, tend to take it as meaning a loss of interest in the game. doghead aka thotd [/QUOTE]
