Dontcha Just love living in the uk, where you have to wait till midnight before those darned americans come back from their jobs and social lives to respond to your rps
I remember when the fastest SW RP pbp site I was a member of only had members replying once a week. Makes this place look like a 0.5 Hyperdrive compared to that.
I used to be part of a star trek email chain rp. If I stepped outside to take a smoke I'd come back in "Your have 50 new mails in your inbox" FML, this way about 700 People divided into 6 ships....
Indeed, I pity the captain though. The way the rp worked was everyone had a rank , and once a year (or on special occasions( you'd be promoted. The captain however was an administrator and sort of a GM, he would set up teh stories and we'd have to solve them rpg style. It was great fun, but the massive amount of time you had to invest made me have to drop out so I could focus on Univercity
Yeah. I hear that. I joined pbp to fit a university schedule myself. Even just posting a few times a week, I found I could accomplish epic adventures at welcome speeds. It's still no 'tabletop night' like back in the glory days. But it's good enough to merit me coming back again and again.
It's a give and take. The faster the RP the stronger your LOAs hit you. Meh.
Indeed. I actually do still do tabletop twice a month, but we play a system called DSA (Das Schwarze Auge) which I had to painstakingly translate from german to english. The system with all its books total to over 4000 Pages.....
Well DSA is like the most in depth rpg ever made. It has literally every profession imaginable, from warrior, to chef, to prostitute, to author. And supplementary books for most everything. If you want to know how to do magic you need several books, WDH (Ways of the Heroes) WDZ (Way of the Mages) RSD (Rings, Staves, Djinnlamps) and LC (Libra Cantonica)
My former RP site was this active about 5 years ago. Now it crawls and people might post 1x a week but mostly not. This is like the best high of those glory days.
