What's going on?

[Brother Shatterstone]

It’s been awhile since I've addressed you all and we've had a good ole talk... Figured now was as a good a time as ever...

We have a new server, but did we pick up any more games? To be honest I find myself at an all time low for games right now. (I'm down to three/four games on ENworld now, it all depends upon what you consider active or not.)

The number of games being recruited for seems to be lower than normal... Is it just me or is ENworld PbP suffering?

Does anyone have any concerns they want to or need to see addressed?

Anyhow, talk to me people.

I'm in a game and running agame, that's a high for me.

But activity around here does seem down in general.

In general..? Or in the PbP forums?. (I have to ask you, you see so much of the board.)

For me, I'm new to PbP, but I like it a lot. I'm running one game, and playing in another LEW game. I have an adventure submitted in LEW, and am making a character for another game. So if everything works out that will be four games for me. Oh, and if my second LEW char gets a hook that'll be five. These things go so slowly I can't see how people can't keep up if you have consistent internet access. Then again, maybe that's the deal. That PbP is slow and people lose interest. Who knows, but I'm totally in now .

sorry about the confusion, the PbP forums seem to be getting less traffic overall. Like last year I recall threads going to the second page before the day limit of them dropping off. Now though tthe second page seems to be all over a day old last posts.

Everything seems OK to me. We have lost all the games run by two of my DM's- Karl Green and Blue Genie, I assume both due to real-life concerns. But, I am running two games now, recently joined one more, and play in two that have proven consistent and exciting so far. I think the pace has been slow the last week or two, but I don't know that it's anything to be concerned about.

Its one of the bigger issues with PbP but its also can be a benefit if your anticipating that next post... (I suspect most completely happy PbP players like baseball or events of that type... Not pure action but the enjoyment of thinking about it. )

Anyhow, I’m glad to hear of your addiction.

Aye, and I remember when I first started here where threads twelve hours old you to fall of the first page... I just don't know if just board slowness though, its not a fair way to judge cause since the time I'm talking about theirs been two increases in the number of threads per a page, and since the time you reference theirs been one.

At least if my memory serves me correct... I do think PbP is slower than normal.

Aye, I knew of KG's absence, but not the reason behind it... I'm not sure of Blue Genie but I guess it possible for someone to post in PbP and I not know them...

You can also add Isida to the list of MIRL... (Missing in real life)

Well I've really been looking these last two weeks so maybe it is nothing... All in all I would like to see more games forming, then again games not forming might mean games are better at surviving right now.

I'm actually wanting to play in a pbp, as my real life gaming has dwindled to nothing. But I don't want to be the new kid in an ongoing game; I'm looking to join (as a player) a new one and start from the ground up. Are there any new ones starting up?

right now I count 19 threeads in Talk and 32 in play that are less then 24 hours since theri last post. That is really not a lot.

My sig shows all the games I'm in -- they're all in EN World too. Two LEW games, one LEW character waiting for a game (still tweaking him too), one brand new D&D PbP, and a Nobilis PbP. These are all relatively new, as I haven't been on EN World that long. So, we've had some games here start.

I'd be happy to join a few more games, but a lot of the games have been non-D&D. I don't want to play C&C, d20 Modern, or some WoW thing, nor some other system entirely, and I saw one game start up without any stats or anything. Seems like not many people are running normal D&D games around here. I don't know if that's normal or not.

There are very few games I'd play other than D&D, and no one runs them anyway.
