I was thinking we could wait until after the weekend to try and decide what is up next, but I'm good with wahtever.
I'd be up for a quick Russian Roulette game or some other type of filler game too.
Vitek: Drealmer's game is not ready yet as far as I know and we are quite thin on playerbase recently and and he mentioned he wants biiiiiig game.
I'm pretty close to ready, and figure I'll be ready to go after 1 more game, assuming it goes 2+ weeks. I'm mostly waiting to have some back and forth with my beautiful assist. moderator, krypsyn (have you seen his flowing blonde hair, OMG, it's GORGEOUS! I couldn't be luckier!), to work out any potential kinks (heh) and to get as thoroughly prepared for as many things as we can think of before pushing it into the final stretch of completion, but it's pretty set, and I'm pretty excited for it.
When I initially signed up to host I projected not hosting until at the earliest October, but I've been working on it a lot the past 2 months (also know that I first started coming up with characters and flavor during game #31, so it's gone through quite a development process) anticipating being moved up by a few months and getting excited for things which has been further inspiring and driving to get it more refined and completed.
The setting is during fall-winter months, so it would have been neat to coincide it with northeast US winter, but no matter, and maybe I'll be able to host it again during winter months too! (though I'm already working on 2nd and 3rd setups! the 2nd is a western, the 3rd is a law enforcement convention, but maybe if it goes over well I could re-do this current one.)
I also decided that for moderating my first game there is no way I want to go over 17 players and try and manage all of that. The game I have set is ideal for 17, I'd say, but will work perfectly well at any number 14-17. I really hope we can get that many, I do think we can!
Do prepare for a decent amount of flavor, BUT the majority of it is going to be contained in the signup thread, the opening posts for the game (it will be broken into multiple posts because there is quite a bit!), and in the initial PMs to all of the players (some have a LOT - multiple 11font-sized word .doc pages, others have less than a page.) So, after digesting all of that, when there is flavor, it will be less frequent and less dense. There's just a lot right at the get-go to get everything set, and some characters simply have accumulated a lot of biography over the time I've been working on the game and that is just how it goes!
I know there are some people who don't get down with a bunch of flavor in games, but hopefully this will be well written and flow and be engaging enough that it's not ever a task to get through even for those who don't like to read a lot will even be into it - mostly hopefully the signup thread length isn't discouraging!
The game will have GRAPHIC CONTENT and will be for MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY! Definitely blood and gore and disturbing imagery, maybe some sex and erotica (hey, even if there isn't actually, I'd say there might be just to tease it and draw more attention!), possibly some what some call "vulgar" language, but there's actually none in all that I've written so far, so who knows.
