[MOD] Okay, wutup
Okay so HELLO THERE EVERYONE! I do apologize for not being around for a little bit, I had to crush a deadline, but that's completed and I'm available until the baby comes.
But we need to have a chat here, man to man, about activity and stuff like that. There are a total of 28 scenes posted to the community at the moment, and that's awesome. It's a mix of solos and scenes and it feels like people are feeling the setting that we're playing in and everything. However, I have written or participated in 18 of those scenes. A lot of you guys know how I mod-- and that's to push game story arcs through my characters instead of handing down things as a GM. But regardless of that tendency, there is some expectancy that you guys will interact with each other and form storylines between your characters of your own volition. That you guys will play when I'm not around.
So talk to me. Tell me what to do to fix it. Is the setting uncomfortable, too open? Do we need to describe things more so that you as a player know more about the environment and history of the world? Is it just that not everyone uses AIM anymore and we need to look for another solution for connecting with each other? Is everyone just too busy for these games now?
People seemed amped about this when it was coming together and now it's kinda empty and it's always been slow. Initially I blamed it on us starting during the holiday season-- did that slow start follow us into the new year and just become the way things are? Or is it that this is still technically a scifi setting and the comfort zone is really fantasy, urban fantasy, or closer to modern post apoc?
Every single one of you is a fantastic writer and I'd like to keep that community and environment alive and well.
Reply and let me know what's up! I'd like to keep this going, but if you guys aren't feeling it, maybe we need to try something different.
