Living Forums

[Jdvn1]

It should be. PC creates a new subforum, the Living Enworld threads are mass-moved into that new forum, and everybody is happy. Moving a thread does not change the thread or post IDs, which are what is important for the links. Of course, links that used to lead directly to the Living Enworld forum will lead to the Living Games forum unless changed.

Fine by me, then!

Okay. I'll do it at the beginning of next week.

Great

Of course, this likely means that KO may need to write up a little bit on what all the living games mean. that Living forum will be pretty empty otherwise.

Also, a Living Worlds umbrella might inspire others to start up their own Living Worlds in the future, given enough support. There is the possibility of it going overboard, but that's pretty easiliy handled in the future, I think (assuming it would come up at all).

If someone did want to start their own Living World, would the general rules described in the current LEW forum still be in effect, or could new general rules be allowed? Would the new person get moderator status?

I am interested in starting a Living World in the future, but it may be easier just to keep it in my personal hosted forum.

Assuming their rules don't violate ENWorld rules or any laws, their living world can pretty much have any rules they like. What would be the point if everything was just a clone of LEW?

Would the new person get moderator status?

Likely not, but he or she wouldn't really need mod status, I'd say. It's more of a convenience by not having to ask a mod to sticky this thread, close that thread, delete yonder mispost, log off to log into the shared account to edit the general information. In the phase while Creamsteak was already gone and I wasn't a mod yet, Brother Shatterstone did whatever modwork came up, and we judges just used the Judge Account.
However, the final decision would be with Piratecat, Morrus, and the rest.

You're not the only one who expressed that idea, by the way (well, without the option to stick to a private forum, that is).

I would be interested in setting up a Living world, as well. I'll keep my eye on this to see what's developing.

Bumped, because I was recently thinking of this again.

I can only assume they've been too busy to shuffle the forums around... though if you're planning on setting up your own Living Genshou game, there's nothing stopping you from doing so in TtT.

Start a character thread in RG with character creation guidelines and start a character recruitment thread in TtT. Explain to the characters that it's a Living game, and the characters will, in theory, be permanent fixtures in the world. If you get GMs interested in running games in the world, and your Living Genshou cult grows, you'll more than likely be able to get your own subforum.

If you're interested in a new start-up setting (like Living EN World, but a second/different one), try putting together details and gathering interest in TtT.

Sorry for the wait!

I know how to do this, but want to do so at a time when I won't disrupt things - probably early morning. I will make the change next week, after GenCon.

 

[Jdvn1]

That certainly makes sense.

I was thinknig about it the other day, but it's not a huge deal. More like, "... Huh, it hasn't changed yet..."
