This either means there is no interest in Amber at all...
No, while small, RPoL has fairly lively and vocal Amber group.

That would be it. Or at least from my perspective, that's it. It's actually to respond your other thread in order of "worst" to "least" reasons why I didn't bother to respond:

Posted in Offsite Gaming
Okay, this one isn't that important to me (but Isuspect it may have deterred most other people who'd have posted), as I actually read the Offsite Gaming forum, but if we're here on RPoL it's probably because we enjoy gaming on RPoL, if we wanted to be elsewhere, we'd be elsewhere already...

I am potentially trying to setup an online(Discord) rerun.
Most of us aren't here on RPoL because we want to play on Discord. Okay, it's probably just me speaking for me, but that's two "I'd rather play elsewhere" comments from a GM and those are kinda red-flagish.

Your House Rules for Amber
Your rules are pretty far removed from Amber. I mean, they're certainly far, far, far closer than a completely different system would be (Like D&D), but once you've broken down the Attributes into sub-abilities (which can trump an attribute), mundane Skills, the restrictions of the Auction (and an DMNPC in the Auction?), and your Powers? Yeah, you've stepped quite a distance away from any Amber I'm interested in.
It might be a really great take on Amber rules, but I'm not bellying up to an
Amber game (whose rules I know and understand) to learn a new set of rules, whys, and wherefores. I don't have the time to figure out your system.

Taking over a character will entail a swathe of reading and catching up.
No. I'm not interested in taking over someone else's character, let alone reading years of posts and threads to "get caught up" to play someone else's character.
quote:
The starting point is with the characters knowing nothing of anything Amber or Shadow, and learning both how to use any powers...
I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not interested in spending a year getting to the point where we can now play the actual game we signed up to play. And that's if the Character even survives long enough to finally figure out how powers work...

If you're a massive fan of the books/genre then be prepared to forget everything you think you may know!
As a massive fan of
Amber, why would I be interested at this point?
Note, I'm all for interesting takes on Amber, "Corwin lied, the Merlin tales never happened" or even further removed takes, but they're still grounded in playing
Amber, the political/social combat, the physical struggles, the investigation, Chaos versus "Order", a family divided, etc. I have no idea how much you're throwing out or keeping, but saying "forget everything" doesn't fill me with the idea that you're running an Amber style I'm a fan off.
From the azer page preamble:

There is still much I'd like to do in terms of this site but I never seem to have the time...
This (and the rest of the sentence) makes you sound super-duper busy and I can no longer count the number of Amber games I've seen start here and then die just as we get out of the Auction because the GM has discovered they are "way to busy for the amount of work this game will take, sorry, lol Real LifeĀ right?". Just an FYI, starting your game pitches with "Hey I'm a busy guy" isn't exactly a selling point for a GM, I mean, how are we supposed to know the azer site isn't up to the level you want it at? Looked just fine to me.
And there we have it, the "why I didn't bother posting" in your Offsite Gaming thread on the small chance you might consider the option of potentially restarting a campaign here that doesn't sound like I'd be interested in even if 5-7 of us tried to convince you restart.
(This may have sounded a lot harsher than I mean, but this post was mostly aimed "why you may have gotten zero traction with your previous thread", and well covers why you got zero response me.)
