Also, if you mix Ender’s Game, X-Com, The Last Starfighter, and Ready Player One, you get Earnest Cline’s Armada, which isn’t as good as Ready Player One, But is still pretty okay.
Agreed. I bought it in hardcover, day it came out, on the strength of RPO. It went in the resale pile as soon as I was finished with it.
Teg, honest answer, is this lack of traction due to player inactivity? I can only speak for myself, and this is a really bad excuse for not posting, but I've been waiting to see if someone else would go first. I've been working on a Lizard King on a speedboat post, but didn't want to fast-forward too far, in case others had unfinished IC business they wanted to care of. I've confessed before- and it's still true- that I sometimes hold back because I'm not sure what the expectations are.
Last time you asked, we were all more (me) or less (?) gung-ho to continue. I don't think there's a lack of interest, just uncertainty of how to pick up the thread of the story and get going again. Like I've said before, I could use a wee bit more structure.
On the other hand, if you're just not into the milieu any more, than I shouldn't try to talk you into continuing this campaign. It was real good while it lasted. If it's a case of concept burnout or whatever, my vote is for something cyberpunk flavored. After watching that CP2077 gameplay footage, I'm super jacked for that sort of thing.
