Sadly, it doesn't look like my Phoenyx games are going to be surviving much longer -- they've both gone about a month without posts, and this isn't the first time, either. What is the done thing, here? I mean, obviously I'll tell the players, etc., but should I try and get someone else to pick them up? That seems like it'd be pretty unlikely -- people seem to have enough trouble keeping their own games going. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Game(s): Alien Light Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners/
How about you treat this as a narrative problem; you say that the game is ending inposts, and tell people to write towards that end? Or are the players not going to do posts?

It'd be nice to have a player pick it up, but it's always difficult to find an outsider to do so. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Game(s): The Whole Phoenyx Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners/

Either. I think the last feeble attempt at posting was mine, but I don't blame the players much for not responding given the general level of follow-up we've been having. > CG>What is the done thing, here?

I might just run some Q&A emails to tie up loose ends. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Game(s): Alien Light Listowner tools are found at http://www.phoenyx.net/listowners/
