Dungeons & Dragons Play By Post: How It Works - Page 8

I do check the Intro board for updates and sometimes they do that but most times it isn't the case. I can live with it if like a GM says, OK I will only be updating the game once a week then I know what to expect.

Quote from me a few posts ago:

That was supposed to say posting wrong rolls, not posting wrong rolls.

I still think this is the heart of the issue with slowness. GM's have a difficult time juggling new players. It's fun to draw up a new character and jump in a game. I find many players have only that interest in mind. Once they get to a certain point they leave suddenly.

It leaves certain GM's (myself included) to feel weary. You think up a great backdrop and reason for the player to be there. Plan a chain of events for him and how to work him, or her, into the game. Then "poof", all of a sudden they are gone with not so much as a goodbye, had fun.

It will be nice if Players themselves can give encouragement to GMs by stating what they like, and what they will like to see. Most times I see Players just responding to a game but you really do not know if they like it or not. They do not check other places in the site either.

There used to be a lot of various role-playing games happening in this board now it has been overtaken by D&D, how come? Maybe everyone likes how D&D works in a setting like this as opposed to other forms of role-playing?

I think everyone just knows D&D more than anything else and the ones that run the other gaming types aren't doing it anymore so its like all D&D now.

Comments: I've been monitoring the games here for a bit mostly reading and seeing how you run things. One thing I've noticed is that sometimes you have a lot of activity and then not much sometimes for a couple of days. Do you meet up at a certain time to play by post?

No, we don't have a set time that you have to post, we just post when we can. We all have lives so it is understandable if you can't post for a few days. Just tell the DM that you might not post for a bit.

I think the idea of just posting when you can is what makes it the best. I don't have the kind of time to play traditionally like sitting around a table for hours so this way you get the same fun without having to be anywhere special.
