What's going on?

[Brother Shatterstone]

Are there any new ones starting up?

Hey Cal, hopefully someone will help you out by offering you a game spot by seeing your request here but if not look at the subject lines for the name word (recruitment) or by the category tag.

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

Aye, yeah I would say that is down... Though the weekend is the worst time to count, I want to see how it looks on Tuesday morning. (24 hours of weekday activity)

Seems like not many people are running normal D&D games around here. I don't know if that's normal or not.

Thanks for the information... and it truly runs in waves, I remember about 4-6 months ago you couldn't pass through TtT without tripping over an M&M game recruitment thread. I did see a few Eberron games, not sure if you consider that D&D or not.

Anyhow, I would say D&D is the staple of the PbP forums... All other systems/genres are a distant second...

Yeah, Eberron's fine. My most recent game is an Eberron game (although I have a lot to learn about the game), but maybe just most of the recent start-ups I've seen have been non-D&D.

Anyway, I can't complain too much. I enjoy the games I'm in, at least. I want to get some PbP experience (since I'm new) so I can get used to the system and run my own games. I'd just like a core books (maybe the SRD + a couple other books) game with an interesting story thiat's not too intensive so I can do some interesting roleplaying and try out a variety of charcter concepts. I have a Fighter looking for Kobolds, a Bard escorting a guy through Eberron, and an embodiment of Chivalry who's running a small territory. I'm good for now.

Maybe one of those waves will come through in a couple more months, though. I'm a patient guy. Come May or June, I'll probably start up my own game, maybe two or three.

It does seem a bit slower..Ive recently started a Castles and Crusades game. It took about two weeks to start from posting first recruit notice to finally starting. Not a long time for a non d20 game, but my thread was semi active once we got going and still didnt get knocked to the second page...something that was a bit unusal.


On a side note it seems like the boards themsleves are alot faster from a technical standpoint( loading etc). A great change from the past were it was a chore even on broadband to view your thread.

Board population/traffic is still high isnt it?

Well, it's low now (less than 700), but it's been normal usually. I think we may have worked out the kinks in the new server so far.

See, I'm gonna jinx it, though.

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...

Blue's two games were starting off very well, and Karl seems to have been a staple DM around here. Do you have any insight as to why Karl hasn't been around? I was having a great time in his games.

Nope, I didn't have KG watch. (Translation he didn't leave notice, a look at his last posts seem to imply his departure was unplanned and unexpected.)

He's got alot of posts I got to imagine he'll be back...

and Monday gives us 31 in Talk and 43 in Play

The day is still young on the West Coast... We might see a few more threads get touched before the end of the day.

(I suspect Monday will be the heaviest day, people catching up from the spotty weekend.)

Well, you'll soon have another game running here if all goes well. Although I have limited experience with the Star Wars d20 system, I have recently concieved a brilliant idea for a campaign that I simply cannot pass up GMing. Look for a Recruitment post around here soon.
