A link to the game: http://heartland.blogbloom.com It's not a fandom, but a fully original game - and this is, I feel, one of the reasons why I've had such a...
Creating an original game with extensive history and information is quite a task, believe me. I co-own and co-run the Dark World RPG (www.darkworldrpg.com)....
... Well, looking it over, one thing did come to mind as far as the difficulty in recruiting part of your problem. Mind you, this may just be me, but it's ...
I hope Shannon doesn't mind me using her as an example. But another thing I've observed is that it doesn't matter how flashy your website is. Shannon's...

I've been thinking a lot about the games I've run in the course of the time I've been online. It's a depressing thought when I realize I've run... hmmm, maybe...
In a message dated 9/8/05 12:41:57 AM Eastern Daylight Time, ... Maybe you should step back and look at what's going on in your game. If your players are...
If you're not satisfied where you've gotten the players, surely, you can move them somewhere else without having to ditch the game. You're the GM, after all....
So I just joined a new game. The setting is a bar run by a vampire. For my own games , one is a Magic School and one is a Star Ship. So it got me to thinking....
I think it depends on your players. If you have a good enough core group you can make any setting work. I will say, though, that vampire night clubs are kind...
Well, currently I actively run a Romero-esque zombie survival game and am co-mod in a 'if it fits we'll roll with it' Trek game. With the former, I just have...
That actually sounds a bit like the Star Trek-esque game I run. It's quite off kilter, was designed that way from the start though. Here is something you can...
Intriguing. With the Trek game I'm co-mod on, we started out with it being Temporal Bureau back when there weren't many games out there like that, but soon as...

'Tis my first RPG. How's this for an Advertizement? Where should I post it? I can't get to PBEM.com, will try other venues. However, where should this be...
Welcome to the list. The game concept seems interesting. Here's my two cents re: hostile takeovers. If you're a pleasant enough person OOCly, and you keep a...
I also think it sounds like an interesting game. I wonder why hostile take-over is even a concern. Is there a back story behind that question? I think it's...
Yay!!ay!ay! :) *Issues of time:* How to maintain an uncontaminated time line? I want to make sure we're moving *forward* in time so that the major events in...
Wow that's a long post. I can take a whack at some of these though I've never run a game, just sort of co-modded one and I enjoy playing and writing and all...

Pretty much what everyone else has said already. Of course, given the premise of your game, you wouldn't take hippie elves anyway because they wouldn't seem...
Hi. :) I've spent the past 18 months or so creating an original universe that I'm going to run a game in. I'm sure you've done the same things I have; I...
