[QUOTE="doghead, post: 2147017, member: 8243"] [b]Game talk[/b] [b]Games I run[/b] I'm currently in the process of reviving my two games from a period of hibernation. For which I am wholly responsible. I was a away for a bit, and work has been a female dog. Both games are down to two players (from a high of about 8 in one at one time, and four in the other.) and I think that I will run with that. As Gomez mentioned, small party games run much faster so long as the players stick around. And the two I have in each have proven pretty tenatious. That said, I'm always willing to consider requests for places from new players. In general (if I am up to date) current character generation details can be found on the first page. Both of my games are a somewhat left of center dnd. Both use Ken Hood's [i]Revised Grim'nGritty Rules[/i]. [i]Nameless[/i] is set in a fairly conventional medieval fanatasy world, but uses a (rather rough and ready) classless generation system. [i]Shamutanti Hills[/i] is based on the Steve Jackson book of the same name, and uses psionics rather than magic. The character generation system for Shamutanti is straight from the book (SRD actually). [b]Games I play in[/b] I am in about 5 or 6 games, only three or four of which are active. It has seemed a little quieter around here lately, with a number of the regulars dropping of the radar. Uriel and Isida are two that spring to mind in my case. I hope things are all ok with them. [b]General[/b] I came (back) to this thread via Gomez's [i]The State of Play for GMs[/i] thread. One of the down sides of PbP is the lack of general interaction, and I was a little disappointed to see it closed. I appreciate Brother Shatterstones interest in keeping the forum as streamlined as possible. Indeed his work generally has been thoughtful and constructive (thanks BS). But for what it is worth, I think a GM discussion thread (perhaps monthly, perhaps quarterly) would be a good thing - a place to get together and chat about various things with others doing something similar. I find GM'ing much more demanding that playing, and think having such a forum (in the general sense) would be helpful when feeling a little flat. While it is possible to discuss GM'ing stuff here, the scope of this thread is much larger and it focuses on different things. I don't think that a GM Talk thread need be stickied. It would work as a transient thing, coming around on a fairly regular basis. Anyway, thats my two cents worth. I thought I would mention it and see how others feel. Perhaps there isn't that much interest. But you never know unless you ask. thotd. [/QUOTE]
