But also consider that we are coming up on the holidays and there is usually a slowdown during that time. Of course, much of what you are pointing out has been going on for some time now so it doesn't qualify as 'just the holiday slump'.I know there have been times when it slowed down quite a bit in the past before coming back to life and I hope this will be the case again. Then again, we now have a new edition and perhaps some people have faded away from wanting to use 3rd edition rules. I know I gave up playing 3rd edition in RL. I'm only playing that edition here in LEW now. But I have no intention of stopping any time soon. I'm also enjoying playing L4W, but that's beside the point.I have been frustrated with the slowness myself lately. 2 of my characters are in adventures run by the same DM who has not been able to game very much lately due to RL. I understand this and accept it while still being frustrated. Thank goodness one of my characters is still in an active adventure. And I am trying to keep up on my side of the DMing duties for my adventure, although I have been a little slow upon occasion recently myself.I suppose it unfortunately comes down to 'wait and see'. We can't force others to play if they are unable to or unwilling. I hate to see a great game shrivel up and go away, but it wouldn't be the first time on these boards. (Anybody else remember the kung-fu fighting/roleplaying game 'You Bastard!' that was on these boards years ago???)I guess all I can say is that I plan on sticking around and will make the best of it for as long as it lasts. The problem with such a dramatic slowdown is that even if we pronounced all the nearly dead adventures as kaput, we would then have a flood of characters back in the RDI with nothing to do for possibly a long time. I'd rather be strung along in an adventure that creeps slowly than have my PC sitting at the Inn where I really do get bored enough to stop checking for new adventures before long. At least when there is little chance of a new adventure starting up.I'll be here still, hoping for a revival.</blockquote>
