Pace?

What is a realistic pace for a game? I noticed that one combat scene can take a full week to get through in most cases. It doesn't even seem like people can post once per day much less once per week at times.

Thoughts?

Re: Pace?

I say once every two days is reasonABLE. Many players aim for onjce a day but then life hands them a curve ball.

Re: Pace?

One thing I've noticed, is that if I as Gm make a post, I can't just wait for the PCs to responde.  That leads to game death.

if nothing happens, I'll post again after a day or two

Re: Pace?

I aim for once a day, but sometimes I wait, to give others a chance to respond.
Or wait in combat because im fairly back in the list - I usually wait at least until the enemys that act before me.
But sometimes the game comes to a stop simply because someone doesnt notice that all wait for him to act. It happened to me a few day ago, we are in combat and the floor tilted-so I had to roll dex to avoid falling down. But I had a low action card, so I descripted my dex roll, but not my action. And then somehow forget that I had to describe my action. All waited for me but I didnt notice it.

Such things happen sometimes, and its important that someone say "T think its your turn" after a few days. :-)

Re: Pace?

In reply to OggyBenDoggy (msg # 703):

Yea, I've done that too. Like when I'm really busy, but do an rpol fly-by anyway or either I want to think about my post a bit before I make it.

Re: Pace?

The worst part of that, is that often, the RSS feed doesn't update if you don't. I've had a couple of times where I wonder when the last time X game has done anything, and then a few weeks later went on and realized that the game went on without me. :(

It arrived!

Huzzah! I am the proud owner of SW Deluxe core hardcover!

I love reading new source books... though I'm definitely not one to get bogged down in technical details, preferring the GM makes most of the decisions without the need for rolls - it is thoroughly enjoyable flipping through the pages of a [somewhat] freshly printed book for the first time... and that smell! MMmmmmmm.

Still haven't played an SW game yet... having been recommended the system by some CoC players. I know there is a plethora of SW books out there too... I'd love to try my hand at a Realms of Cthulhu...

Or some nice pulpy tomb-raider style romp... a la Cairo Jim on the Trail to Cha-Cha Mucho, or to a lesser extent, the Brandon Fraser style Mummy trilogy action....

This is my favorite game system by far of all the majors on the market. I don't have the bandwidth to run another game right now, but if I do I'll keep you in mind!

Re: It arrived!

Pulp is one of my favorite settings/styles.  I was in the process of setting up a D&D 3.5 dungeon crawl, but I am not sure I want to actually do that, so I will put it on hold and get a SW pulp game started up this week instead.  I have quite a bit of pulp materials, so I will decide on a setting and get it fired up.

I think I would like to run it with characters starting at 25 xp, if that seems OK to others.

Pulp would be fun.  I remember Ravaged Earth Society, it looked fun but I never got to play

Re: It arrived!

I can GM it. I just need some players and input on how to structure the game, since it is very non-standard.
