I tried to do that years ago, and the problem was no one was doing much, of course that was after the group had mostly died. > So, what have you been playing in March 2024? None. I haven't played or run anything in more than a year now. My last was January of last year running Dungeon Robber (the tabletop version) on Rpol which does play by post. Unfortunately I burned out on it as I was posting way too frequently. I also found a lot of flaws that were irritating to me, I wanted to fix but would likely require a reboot, and I was down to 3 players who really only wanted to play solo. It seems to be getting harder and harder to get players who are interested in non-5e play. Or maybe I've picked up bad habits and am no longer a good DM. I'm not sure. Ah for the days I was running 2e with 7 players for years on end. -- -Justisaur ø-ø (\_/)\ `-'\ `--.___, ¶¬'\( ,_.-' \\ ^'
