Phyrric Legacy - Shackled City OOC Thread

[Malvoisin]

Hey Guys,

Question's, um...question...over in the IC thread has got me thinking a bit, and I thought I'd post over here and let you know what's been on my mind.

Posting frequency is, in my experience, a tricky thing to get nailed down just right. Everyone has a different life that moves at a different speed. And, of course, there are issues that come up (like weddings, deadlines, etc.) that cause one's availability to ebb and flow. This is all understandable, of course.

But, from what I have seen, it's better to err on the side of 'too fast' than 'too slow.' Games that have long delays between DM posts, for whatever reason (Limited DM availability, waiting for a player to post, etc.), are at great risk for an untimely demise. As we all know, PbP games have an extremely high mortality rate, and I want to do what I can to keep this one going strong (my own recent absence notwithstanding ).

So, long story short, is this. I'm going to keep up a quick (read: daily) post rate as frequently as I can manage it. If four out of six of the players have posted, and a day has passed, there is a good chance that I will take action to push the game forward, even if it means making some assumptions on the part of PCs who haven't posted. In the long run, I just think it will be better for the health (and longevity) of this game.

That's my take, what's yours?

You can't wait for everyone forever. This is espcially true in combat situations.

Most of the games that move forward here have a similar policy in my observation. Usually, a day/two wait policy is given. Some are three times a week and none on the weekend---they move more slowly, of course.

Works for me!!!

Coincidentially the same.

I like the note with the important people. Could it also be possible to have the important clues either duped their or linked from the first post (the the relevant post). For example, we are probably going to hunting for the text of the augury, and finding each time may get difficult.

That's not a bad idea, I'll see what I can come up with.

Okay, I've added a 'reference' section to the first post of the thread. Right now, it has only a duplicated image of the divination riddle, but I'd be happy to add other things as the game progresses.

If you guys have any other ideas as to how I can improve the first post, or anything else you'd like to see added, just let me know!

That's a good assumption.

One of my buddies is getting married this coming weekend (yay!) and, being his best man...

Just wanted to update--this is now the weekend, and I'm super-busy with wedding stuff.

No problem, Jdvn1. We'll put Dowlee on cruise control until next week.

Have a great weekend!
