[QUOTE="perrinmiller, post: 6691676, member: 88649"] I think you have a valid point here, Merry. This has been what is bothering me as this discussion continues. I think the problem is that we just don’t have DMs stepping up to handle the new players that join LPF and the veterans as well. Some new players stick around to RP for a little while, but others never even bother (and probably are the same ones that would flake in the middle of their first adventure anyway). That and making sure veteran players don't sit around months waiting either, GE. Enough DMs has always been an issue. The Silver Road project creates something new, but still requires DMs to run things before people get bored and leave. We could just as easily provide little mini-adventures from the DWI, even if the min-adventure involves caravan guard duty. So why not just use the DWI for this idea and spin off 1 shot encounters for newcomers from there and save some time and effort? In implementation you need DMs to step up. If people are not willing to do it right now from the DWI for 1-3 players for a 1 shot, why would this idea of the Silver Road be any different? While you are discussing this, what is being done about upcoming adventures for those finishing the three adventures that should be concluding soon? We have 5 players with characters that have been sitting in Systole's game without a new IC post for 2+ months, and they were hardly getting activity for months before that. Even after Mowgli wraps that up with a summary, what is being done for them? [/QUOTE]
