... Sometimes the same can be true for characters as well. Once, in a sim where I was AGM, I had to deal with a player who wanted to change PC characters...
... Exactly. I've seen many YahooGroup advertising lists that only have a handful of members. I totally avoid those that have less than 60 members, because I...
Sometimes a JP doesn't even have to be a huge affair. Sometimes it can be where you've used their character beyond the basic obvious responses and just running...
i was wondering, and it's probably been discussed before i joined...but about character profiles or bios, how much is too much? i know a couple GMs who don't...
I've settled into a fairly minimalist bio sheet. I like the bios because they let me get a feel for a person's writing style even if it's brief. There are the...
I really like your bio sheet, Becky. And God save me from pointless conversation threads. You're right, they never happen in real life, and when they do, my...
Actually, all evidence in Waycrossing to the contrary, I'm right there with you on bios. They're useful, even though I, personally, hate writing them. I'm with...
I (co-)GM one of the games our vampiric friend plays, WAR. We do have "normal" character development (I pride myself on developing the people as much as, if...
... My own personal rule is 100 members. Anything less and, yes, you're right, it seems useless to try and advertise there. ... Exactly. Which is why that ad...
Oooh...that reminds me of the JPs where I'd said send me the start and the email is entirely thier character's reactions and comments with where I'm supposed...
yeah i see that! Becky, that is a wonderful idea i never really thought about. i like the secrets question because i hate it when players have a huge secret...
... I hate superlong bios, too. When I was active in Pern fandom, I noticed most clubs had reams of totally useless questions, like whether or not your...
... And even then, little kids in my experience are rarely cute all the time. I've said it before and I'll say it again, someone really should play children as...
i think there is a mature level to cute that's different than little kid cute. its usually in the form of humor. one of my recent characters is a dragon who...
Hey glad to see you are alive Jack, very long time no see. I was unaware you played with Shannon. (Has anyone else thought we could play six degrees of...
So I'm responding twice to your post, because I liked the idea of Solo posts being made a topic for discussion. So do people use them, what do they use them...
I started out with the individual posting thing, but then went to joint posting. Mostly because there were too many people standing around with nothing to do,...
I like the idea, as a player. *lol* But as a GM, I'd hope my players could come to me and say, Dude, this sucks. Then I'd have the chance to ask what they'd...
*hugs Mikel* i knew that email address looked familliar! Shannon rocks, she gets her hands in everything....in all actuality i havne't been playing in her game...
I can't believe someone would call you Little Hitler, when we've spent years calling you the Fluffy Bunny GM. *roflmao* -b. ... 've ... Sometimes it's ... ...
That's a good point. I always had, not so much my fingers in, but my eye on the joint posts. No one just went off and started joint posting without running it...
Shannon, that's not the one who created the character under the fake account claiming it was a friend of hers was it? That was just stupid. The woman had...

Back to the joint post/individual post thing... I think joint posting makes it harder for someone to hijack a thread. You know how some of those problem...
