                I live near an active volcano, which in terms of natural disasters is still the coolest way to die. How many of you spent hours on hours reading about Pompeii? West coast clearly best coast.

                I’m pretty glad to see I’m not alone in my reasons for not liking asynch, though.

                    All you people are wrong. Live in the foothills of Colorado. If you ignore the constant wildfires it is easily the safest.

                          What I thought was best is that the greasing didn’t work. That is freaking DEDICATION.

                            I’m frustrated sometimes by it feeling like it’s being implied I don’t do enough to facilitate the hobby for people in other timezones.

                            But then I try to remember it’s not really about me personally.

                            I think about this a lot as well. As I said before, when I started to do more, run more events, build more lore, and just generally being more available for players, I actually got pushback from various people that I was doing too much and that it was getting too busy.

                            It was then that I realized while I intended on creating a game that moved slower with the goal to eventually have something that sustained itself with it’s playerbase, that wasn’t likely to happen soon as plenty of people have stated that they like how things move at a snail’s pace. I admit, I was not expecting that, but I also don’t have a huge problem with. Then again, I want to also create something that caters to more folks, giving them a chance to enjoy things too.

                            It is a weird, difficult balance to try and maintain. Speaking for myself, I’ve only had middling success. If I could have things less async, I would, but perhaps not until later.

                                How fast or how slow a game runs isn’t an indicator of quality one way or another, on its own. I think my question(s) to you, as the gamerunner, is this:

                                Is this the game you want?

                                Are you having fun?

                                      @tsar I’d say yes to both of those things, and I feel like the players would say the same, especially when I have asked for feedback. My creativity means nothing in a vacuum if there’s no one to talk to about it.

                                      I realize that speed of things is not a large indicator on the success or failure of a game, but it is something I consider a good amount. As much as I may enjoy myself, I still live with paranoia of not doing enough or that someone’s needs are not being met.

                                        Yeah, I totally get that. I think there’s probably a healthy medium between breakneck and snail’s pace, but that’s entirely dependent on the comfort of you and your players.

                                            The lack of OC-only Superhero games frustrates me.

                                            Like I guess I understand why people want to play their favourite comic book characters (it’s the sex, right? <_<) but that scene just isn’t for me. I want to play my own character, not be confined to someone else’s. But playing an OC on a game full of actual comic book characters makes it reaaally hard to break in or, y’know, feel like you matter at all.

                                            I mean I suppose maybe there just isn’t much demand. Honestly I’m not even sure myself why I want to play a superhero game to begin with. Maybe I just want a contemporary and/or near future setting that isn’t all dark and cynical? So if you guys know of a place like that I’m all ears.
