TftF Character Creation & Setup

I'm okay with the game being public :)

Everyone has submitted a characetr now, though. That's fine as is.

I think we're about ready to start then...

Excellent!!

public is fine for me too

I don't think I have a problem with public. That just means anyone with access to the site can read, but not write on the game forums, correct?

Yup, exactly. People who want will be able to read but only the players who are in the game will be able to post

Seems fine to me then. Out of curiosity do a lot of people read other people's games?

I don't think really yet but once Adam's front page update drops, it'll probably get more common, as public games will be come more visible

Huh. Is there a reason why people want public games? Have people in the community asked for this feature?

It was originally a more prominent part of the site but that caused some technical problems and was therefore removed at some point. So it is part of how the site is "supposed" to work. It also just allows for more interactivity if users can have some looks at what other people are playing. And it lets you see some new games and systems.

I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of public games 😄

Oh good. I'm excited!

I find public games really useful to catch a glimpse of the gaming styles of different GMs. It helps deciding whether or not their next game with openings might be something I'd enjoy.

I've never thought of that but that's a great idea! It should be encouraged to link past public games in interest checks to give potential players an idea.

Works the other way too, I guess. As a GM, when looking through applicants for your game. Public games could give you a sense of the various applicants' styles of gaming.
