Where'd Everybody go?

[Magnus von Thornwood]

Ooooo.

That sounds cool as all get out! Can I get a copy when you get done. I dig that science stuff.

 

[sabredog]

Most definitely....I'll send it to you when I get it done. Might be a little while since I'm adding illustrations done by me but it'll be worth it.

It's an interesting world, but I'm trying to keep it generic enough in Traveller terms that it can be plugged into the OTU.

It's all part of my bigger scheme to collate and codify all of my personal future history and universe into a bound edition for players to have as a resource for my game.

I hear ya.

Yeah, I have a supers/law enforcement game that I need to sit down and scan and archive and otherwise put in some sense of order. I can be patient. Thanks.

Yeah, they put too much intelligence in the new one, I caught it using the wireless to run a racket in non-existent derivatives rather than trimming the weeds in the driveway. Didn't know how I was going to get the account codes out of it to return the several millions it had amassed to the rightful owners until I got it interested in pocket universes.

Now it's returned all the money to the little old ladies it had bilked, built its own pocket universe, and left me trimming weeds with TL4/5 tools. As soon as I find the guy in the turban that sold it to me, I'm gonna demand my money back. :frankie:

Man, that's too bad...

:devil:

Since BG asked the question, I observed some other forums. They also seem a bit slower. So it my not be specific to CoTI.

Real life ... and the lack of real-life interest (e.g., players) in my immediate locale, rendering any Traveller discussion a theoretical one, at best.

I hear ya on that note. Truth is, however, nobody wants to touch me with a ten foot scout-ship mini. That's pretty dissapointing. I miss gaming. Would love to have it as a hobby in addition to all my reading, and trying to hob-nob with skeptics and film geeks.

Regrettably real life dictates I hold two low wage jobs until something "real" opens up, and I can move onto a "normal" single-man's existence. To me, this means that once that regular 9-5 salary or mid-wage job opens up, I'll be doing Traveller (or some other game) on the weekends.

 

[Andrew Boulton]

How about trying a PBEM?

 

[Blue Ghost]

I've done some play by email stuff before, and it's interesting. But truth be told I need to interact face-to-face with other human beings.

 

[ShapeShifter]

I agree with that assessment. PBEM always struck me as sterile. We Terrans are a social species and machines (so far) aren't cuddly enough to be considered pleasant company.

 

[Keklas Rekobah]

Besides, there is no one to placate the referee with food offerings in a PBEM campaign.

A hungry referee is a wrathful referee.

There seem to be enough people to run this thread to 7+ pages.

 

[Samules]

I dropped off with my Traveller Campaign but with the 3.5 D&D forums bleeding (I dispise 4.0) I have returned.

 

[MarianLH]

I don't care for PBEM or play-by-post either, but what about games run over Maptools, or some other kind of live chat?

 

[BlackBat242]

If I could fit that into my schedule (games M & W on-line (OpenRPG & Maptools} & F live), I could go for that.

Must use a voice program... teamspeak, Ventrilo.

Definitely no Skype... it does not work well with my computer (makes it run as slow as a 486).

 

[Hyphen]

Too much on, too little time.

Haven't even updated my website for ages.

Still keep up with the TML and throw in an occasional comment...

I was just thinking the same!

FIRST!



I mused the same back on page 4 when it was only 30 some replies inside of 24 hours. But BG kept moving the goal He was (I think) looking for specific individuals last I heard...

 

[coliver988]

errm, I'm here. Oh, no one was looking for me? Sorry, my bad.

(I think traffic to most forums comes in waves. At least it seems that way on the few forums I visit: you have weeks or months with amazing content and people adding things, the normal contentious arguments and tempers flaring occasionally, then a drop towards crickets chirping for a while, sometimes quite a long while, then it all starts over again. Just like the stock market! No, wait, is that political? )

 

[Sifu Blackirish]

Well, I tried...

Someone recommended that you need to post to get activity, so I dug up something I fiddled with a couple of weeks ago. Lots of peeks, but nary a comment.
Of course, sometimes I think it's just my presence that sent away people in droves, but I really am a nice guy--just ask me, I'll tell you!

Sacrificing a box of twinkies to the dice-god is a ritual. Twinkies, Pizza, Taco-Bell... all the usual fiair that gods like.
