I hope I can make a post today. That would be good.

Hi, Ro.

If GM burnout is a thing for you, some randomization might help. I didn't know before our game with FluxCapacitor started that there are published things which do exactly that, and surprisingly well.

* Ironsworn has lots of random tables called Oracles, and it's completely free.

* The Mythic GME (Game Master Emulator) is a full system to drive a game without a formal GM, but it can also be used as a great guidance / support addition to a regular game (actually both as a GM and as a player.)

* The Game Master's Apprentice Decks are sets of 120 cards without a system, and they are a wonderful source of inspiration.

All require intelligent interpretation, but I don't think any of the people here are short on that.

I'm not a sort who does randomisers, unless I make one. I want to be in control of the scene instead of being too wild. Though yes, I do feel burn out as I fear I may not post something good enough.

Thanks for the suggestions anyways.

As for the main thread, sorry again for taking a while. I'll be back once I have handled others.

I'm not impatient with this game, my post was a late response for your distress in the Games Tavern recruitment thread.

It's all good, RoAries, we can wait! :D I for one have games with 1 post per month in speed, and am perfectly fine with that. This one is fast in comparison!
(Also, perfectionism is a struggle, I feel that.)

A bit busy, and need a good mind to handle this again. Hopefully soon.

Fun fact: when searching Screams Amongst the Stars in Google, this game is the ninth result (for me, at least). XD

Sorry for taking weeks to make a post. I will try to make one today.

I think I will try tomorrow.

Still is difficult. Will post when I do.

That's alright, take your time! Hope you're doing well. :)

Thanks Flying Succulent. I now have 6 day work weeks of intense training to be an engineer, and I find I have less personal time than before.
May 15, 2022 4:51 am
Oh, what kind of engineer? If you don't mind me asking, of course! Also, good luck with training! :D
May 16, 2022 6:34 am
Alright. I am training to be a Build Information Modelling Engineering. I will have to use multiple programs to help with designing and planning buildings.

And thanks!

No worries btw.
Some games run slower, some run faster. PbP-gaming is good for both ;)

Thanks for being patient. I will try to get to posting again. Though, my time will remain busy.

(I just wanted to mention that I'm still around, just have nothing to write since the last post. :D)

I want to apologise for being noticeably absent for the main game thread.

For Nikolai, I may not have addressed the actions he want to perform. Sorry for not explaining that I'm doing that because he does not have the turn action to do that yet.

I want to give compensation for the long absence. My idea is just give attribute improvements of 2 points without rolling. If you want it, let me know which attribute you wan to distribute to.
Jun 14, 2022 2:09 am
I was curious about that, thank you for explaining!
And no worries about absences, things happen (and so does writer's block). :)

I am not the one to turn down freebies, especially considering how poorly this all might go. XD I'll take points to Wil and Dex, please!

Boop? Also, there is a new person interested in this game in Games Tavern. :D

Oh yeah, forgot that it was my turn. And thanks for letting me know about the interested player. I kind of gave up on bumping the thread.
