Is it just me, or are PBEMs, sims, whatever-you'd-like-to-call-them a dying genre? On the one hand, maybe it's just me - I restarted WAR a month ago (by which...
Is it just me, or are PBEMs, sims, whatever-you' d-like-to- call-them a dying genre? ... I think it's more a matter of certain games going through phases of...
... In general, I think we've suffered a general, (but non-catastrophic) decline as more kids grow up as non-readers who have Halo and other games to occupy...
... Plus, you just have to accept that this is a niche hobby and a group hobby. I'm not saying don't do it, or don't expect much from it. Do the hell out of...
I think play-by-post RPGs are doing just fine for the most part, but Yahoo groups might just be losing patronage since forums have become so much easier to...
Normally I'm pretty on top of my games and posting, but real life can really cut in sometimes. At the moment, I'm having fun playing, but I'm wishing I had...
An interesting thought... What would a game moderator temp agency look like? What would a game-wide "break from reality" look like? I mean; I'm sure every ...
I'm curious as to what most mods out there expect from players. I personally expect people to come into a game with some ideas. Obviously I'm going to help...
I think that my responsibilities to my game are to set up the initial universe that the players will build upon, define the rules for play, and have a...
Great list Hez. Now to give my own spin on the answer. So I join a game, get the character together, give him some quirks, get him up and down. Do my first...
If a player keeps the character in the room and waits for opportunity to knock, he's in trouble, on the flipside if they are social but still not getting...
It's something I've run across with some list members in the past, and I've often wondered... how much sharing is too much? I'm friends with a lot of the folks...
My community is like a family. We share everything -- we know who's been robbed lately, whose wife is going through surgery, who's poor, etc and we're...

A week is unusual. WAR is a very small game - with, to my frustration at times (I'd really like newbies! But we're very niche...), a largely constant ...
I had this problem a lot myself when I was running my last game. The only thing I could ever think to actually do was to not acknowledge it and to encourage...

I have to say that any community on the Internet that claims to be a virtual family is one I personally would run far and fast from. Because, I don't care how...
Also, it's been my experience, through almost a decade of online gaming, that people who claim they run communities online that are just like families tend to...
I would think to a degree the problem may self correct itself. If somone becoems TMIP (Too much information person) at way too soon of a time, I personally...

Members are free to give out their personal info they please to whomever they please, so long as it isn't 1) a recurring trend of making someone uncomfortable ...

How often do you guys let players back onto your lists? I'm not talking about someone who had a genuine RL situation come up and then wrote themselves out and...
I tend to be pretty liberal if it's just inactivity. (Either WAR is just too tiny, or I'm lucky as hell, because I haven't had to deal with even considering...
EW, I really have no policy on letting the 'lost' be found again...as the 'group' just recently died off - again. Sigh. It's a pattern, flows with the life's...
... This is a curious idea. What rewards can a GM provide to keep the players coming back (and giving their best) besides providing a good game? A related...
