Re: Out of Character Chat
To be honest I didn't feel like you fumbled at all. The only thing I think could be improved was the post frequency. But that's a given in online play, and may be something that has no solution.

Re: Out of Character Chat
It's amazing how time can slip away from you but it's no different than a face-to-face game. If/When I GM another game I will make a commitment to post x number of times per week and schedule time to do just that.
Maybe it just felt like fumbling to me. I'm glad it didn't seem to show.

The problem with doing something really stupid to impress people is that they may just be impressed by how stupid you really are.
Re: Out of Character Chat
I would post a lot more to this game but then I would overwhelm everyone. I have been waiting to post since your last update for someone else to make a post to keep this from being my direction all the time.
The biggest problem I see, and this is unfair but sadly true, is that a DM has to post more than everyone else in a PBP to keep it moving along. For me its not that big a problem because I check the forum multiple times a day and thusly can post as soon as something gets posted. Other people can't check the forum as often and may have a tendency to stretch that gap between checking when they find that no one has posted. That tends to make the posting gaps even longer.
At any rate, I am fine with the game but as you are stopping it I hope you keep me in mind if you start up another.

Re: Out of Character Chat
I appreciate the feedback I've gotten so far and surprisingly (to me) it seems I was doing better than I thought.
One question that I hadn't even considered was whether you guys wanted to continue this game. I'm more than willing to continue the game as long as you are still enjoying it.
I will wait a week so that you can think about it and make sure that everyone has a chance to respond.
If the consensus is to continue I will commit to posting regularly - probably twice a week to start with and see about increasing that once I get into a regular posting routine.

Re: Out of Character Chat
I wish to continue.
Re: Out of Character Chat
Although I haven't been here long I also wish to continue.

Re: Out of Character Chat
OK, let's get this train back on the track.
I am going to commit to posting twice a week to start with - on Sunday and Wednesday evenings. Depending on how things go I will see if I can increase that in the future.
I am also going to try to work on being more descriptive in my posts. I know some of my posts have been pretty bland so that is just something I want to concentrate on personally.

I wish to continue!
Life has been nuts for me lately because I've just started a new job and was out of state for several days. I'm working from home now though, so hopefully I can keep a closer eye on it. I've got an email notification set up on this sub-forum, but sometimes it combines multiple notifications into one email and I don't notice.
Sundays and Wednesdays sound like a plan to me! I'll see if I can make sure I've got actions queued up on Saturdays and Tuesdays.

Re: Out of Character Chat
I have a meeting tomorrow right after work and won't be home until late so I will post on Thursday this week instead.
