I was thinking of running a Scion game.  Nothing is definite yet since I'm wondering if I have the time to run another game.  I know there's games with players and GMs that become inactive without notice.  I'm aiming to avoid that if possible.

In addition to the interest check, I'm wondering if anybody has any advice on dealing with attrition.  I have a couple of ideas from others and I would like more if possible.

I'm always up and in for Scion. I'm also one of those people that sticks around long after the GM and other players have left the building, wondering quietly if they're all just taking a really long time in the bathroom or not...

Or, in other words, I stick around.

In general, I've never found anything that works against attrition as much as sheer stubbornness. Players will rise and fall like the Empires of old, but so long as you've got folks willing to keep playing (no matter how bad things get) then you've got a game. High post rates can work while interest lasts, and players who feel like they're in a community rather than just stopping by to post is always a good thing, but search me if I know how to keep people interested. Sometimes the most-interested folks seem to drop out before the game even begins. >_>

Interest registered.  Advice given.  <thumbs up>

I'm interested as well!

I would play!

I am interested as well.

Wow.  I didn't expect so many responses in such a short time especially from some names I recognize.  Any additional advice from any of you would be welcomed.

Thanks for the tip Tyr.  I will try to make the game as much a small community as it is a game.

Seeing the interest, I'm motivated to starting a game.  I am going to aim for a character driven game so role play is going to be important.  When I'm ready to request players, I'll put up a link.

if you are still looking let me know.

Count me in :)

This is an adult game because sex or violence could be a part of this game.

Check out the link for additional information.  I'm also going to aim for groups of 5 or less.  I will be accepting more characters than that.  If there are plenty of people that would be a good fit for the game, I might expand the game to have multiple groups.  Before I get too far ahead of myself, I would rather start a discussion and collaborate on the direction of the game.
