Dixi Posted April 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 28, 2023 Congratulations to us all on reaching (one way or another) the end of this exciting game! If we fail here, do hope the next game will not be in the same universe with the risen Chaos Lord. 🙂 Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never taken the time to count up posts in my games. Interesting metric. Yeah, I think I might be the only one that does it but, in my mind, a game isn't successful until it reaches 1000 game posts. I don't really need to count them, though. I only watch two threads and MW counts posts for me. What I'm curious about is where all the extra views come from. Even if all of us look at each post a couple of times, I'd only expect a fraction of those views. Who is reading this game besides us? Hope they like it! It might just be bots.

Malkavian Grin Posted April 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 28, 2023 Definitely bots and web-crawlers. I'd guess for everyone one post someone does, they look at a thread twice, maybe three times if they get interrupted or something. 548 posts to 6200 views though... That's around 4x more than my estimates. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecumseh Posted April 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 28, 2023 I load each thread a ridiculous number of times, both to see new posts but also to remind myself what was posted on previous pages. I do wish there were an option to display more posts per page. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cailano Posted April 28, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted April 28, 2023 Well, this looks amazing... https://goodman-games.com/store/product/dungeon-crawl-classics-100-the-music-of-the-spheres-is-chaos-print-pdf/ The Music of the Spheres is Chaos is a 112-page dungeon from the same mad genius who wrote Sailors on the Starless Sea. It's got a crazy in-game/IRL spinning puzzle that changes the dungeon map, the PCs, and the nature of reality. By way of comparison, Sailors is only 20 pages long. I've already pre-ordered it. I don't know how that puzzle would translate to PbP, but it will be fun to try to figure something out. Plus, you just have to love the titles of DCC modules.

Malkavian Grin Posted April 28, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 28, 2023 Woah. That sounds awesome! I love the idea of a randomizer like that! It's like we're getting rogue-like tabletop sorta.

cailano Posted April 28, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted April 28, 2023 I love this part of the marketing fluff: "You won’t mistake this dungeon for any other adventure, anywhere, ever." From a lesser company that would get a shrug from me at best. From DCC, I think it has a good chance of being a statement of fact.

cailano Posted May 2, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted May 2, 2023 Schedule Update This is going to be a not-great week for me, gaming-wise. Today is looking pretty busy at work, although I'll try to get at least a couple of OOC posts up later today. I'll be out of town tomorrow, so I likely will not post at all. Thursday and Friday should be normal-ish. Goals I want to write up a few posts for a "Behind the Screen" wrap-up that I like to do when a group closes out a module. It's just some anecdotes of what the game looked like from the GM's perspective, and I'll also show off some of the gorgeous artwork in the module. I want to go over all of the new character sheets. I want to start getting the game for the next adventure set up and ready to start inviting you guys to join. That process will take up some time next week, as well, but I'm hopeful that we'll be able to start IC posts by the end of next week.

Malkavian Grin Posted May 2, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 2, 2023 @cailano No worries, take your time. We're still trying to figure out loot :/ I'm excited to see what this debriefing will look like :) No other GMs do something like that, that I know of.

Dixi Posted May 3, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 3, 2023 Thanks for the heads-up. Can we play somewhere meanwhile? Like discussing disappeared comrades, checking out items and trying them, wondering where we are?

cailano Posted May 4, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted May 4, 2023 Good morning everyone, or at least it's morning here in sunny California. Today I'm going to take a look at all your leveled-up characters and hopefully get the new game set up. Exciting times!

Ordinarily, this wouldn't be an idea I'd object to, but the beginning of the next game is going to follow so hard on the end of this one that there's no in-game time for extra RP.

Dixi Posted May 4, 2023 Clone Share Posted May 4, 2023 Oh... I see. So, it will begin a few minutes after we flew into the stratosphere? Got it. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cailano Posted May 4, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted May 4, 2023 Our next adventure will be Doom of the Savage Kings, another iconic DCC module from Harley Stroh.
