[QUOTE="BSF, post: 1477724, member: 13098"] This is a completely metagame discussion. Meaning, this concerns the players much more than the PC's. What kind of game are you guys looking for right now? So far, I can't tell that the group has a unified goal, or purpose. Right now, your big motivation is to either pay off your fine, or to finish your sentence. Sage has been very accomodating by having his character become interested in serving the local lord that you are all working for. But, that motivation really isn't all that interesting for me to run a game through. Sure, I can keep coming up with missions for you to work on. But, then it is just a vaguely related series of one-shots with me, as the DM, in control of what events drive your characters. Where would [b]you[/b] like to see the game go? Do you want to make Greerson your long-term base of operations? Do you want to make it back down to Stormhaven? Do you want politics and intrigue to play a role in everything? Do you want to go hunting bad guys to kill? Do you want to explore forgotten dungeons and wilderness? Do you just want to get enough money to settle down? These are not necessarily exclusive. It is possible to mix some or maybe even all of these. But, it does require a more active role in what you want to do. On the in-character side of things, you can work to resolve some of these issues at whatever pace works for you. But, on the metagame level, I would like to know what kind of adventures will be fun for you. [/QUOTE]
