Have we chatted enough about the EXP boost to make a proposal?
Well, I think it deserves more discussion, but that discussion might as well be in a proposal thread as here.
In other news, today is the 15th of September, one year exactly after our target date for opening L4W for business. I can't remember if we actually started exactly on the 15th; things kind of snowballed as adventures and characters became approved, but it was within a few days one way or the other.
L4W has thrived, well beyond my expectations. We have 107 approved characters according to the official list, the majority of which are still active. We have 10 completed adventures, and something like 15 currently active, under at least 10 DMs. (The
Adventure Index page isn't quite up to date with the recent flurry of new adventures, I think.) And that's not including DMs who have disappeared.
Our highest level characters are a bit past level 4, with a healthy handful of level 3 characters. Nearly all of the original PCs present at or near launch have reached level 3. (Woe is the only exception I can think of, and he's special in many ways.
) I think that's about where we expected advancement to be; maybe a little slower than we thought, but not ridiculously slow.
So, yeah. I don't really have any point, except to say that we're pretty cool. Here's to many more years!
