[QUOTE="reapersaurus, post: 1140211, member: 1194"] I would have guessed the Psionicle myself. Is Of Sound Mind older? Either way, it IS quite a testament to all involved that they're still going. I've come to the conclusion that PbP gaming is a bit problematic, in that it takes SO LONG to develop an adventure, or any kind of connection between the characters. But it's so rare to have the DM AND all the players available AND dedicated for that long amount of time. And if any player drops, than it has an impact on that fragile connection between the characters. So unless almost all the original group and DM stay dedicated and don't have something IRL come up to get in the way of the game, than the adventure probably will not 'finish.' Now, my question to everyone is: Which PbP games CAN 'finish'? As I mentioned months ago, I only know of one that has finished: The Non-Iconics Adventure, which was a very short adventure run by Heavy G, and it still took over a year and a half, if memory serves. I'm sure many games don't have an "ending" in mind per se, and might just be a 'go until we get tired' kind of conclusion. It's just too bad that the vast majority of games are destined to collapse before completion. It's kind of depressing, since I'm a big advocate of PbP gaming. [/QUOTE]
