"CS is off doing his own thing atm and honestly, writes at a pace I no longer have the energy to keep up with consistently."

While these two events are not related to each other, I stopped enjoying collaborative writing and around the time that I stopped writing, period, I joined the military. A year later after completing training I got asked to revisit FRPG. I gave it an honest try and was satisfied with the effort and let it rest where it ended. Then I challenged myself to see if I didn't lose my ability outright by redoing the whole story to be more in line with what TT envisioned all those years ago, with adjustments based on his own reevaluation of the RPG's execution. Insofar it appears that I haven't.

Currently content with going through TT's folder of things that will never happen™ and making them happen.

And as for writing a lot and too fast I suggest listening to the Hamilton soundtrack. It's a story that spoke to me.

All I have to say about that is not all of us were necessary to advancing the plot or enjoying the way FRPG's story was going by the time it died. But we had a good run regardless. I wouldn't have stayed as interested in writing as I have without the site, and the only regrets I have are related to being an idiot kid with no idea about how pacing or good storytelling worked.

Unrelated, happy new year to anyone still lurking!

I know I’m a month late, but Happy New Year!

Happy Zombie Jesus day! May the flesh you eat this day be as fresh as possible.

Hey, Lurkers gonna lurk.

Little bit more lively in here than usual.

I stopped writing after I started making games. I tried to do both for a while, but it was really hard, I found game programming scratched the same creative itch I used to sooth with writing, so I just didn't have the creative energy left over to write.

Oh lawd it's Doc. Hi! Long time no see. How've you been?

It’s a Mother’s Day miracle!

Haha, yeah for real. I've been well. I live in the US now so that's new. Funny thinking back on everything that happened on here, was a big part of my life growing up, good memories!

Nice to see you around, Doc. Where abouts in the US are you? I might have to see about swinging by for a visit next time I'm in the neighbourhood.

Even more surprising, that's 4 members who are active enough to stumble across eachother within a couple of days. That's almost the same amount of traffic we started with back in '06. Clearly the time for Neo-RPGT is nigh

I'm on the East Coast. The great (well, not really) state of New Jersey. So, pretty much the same spot I was when I joined all those years ago. Like I'm not been kidding. I literally only moved a town over haha.

I'm still in NY. We should all get together for drinks sometime. *finger guns*

I'd be down lol.

San Francisco, California

We got the site, and the people, but damn, has technology moved on. Bulletin boards have not aged well.

For sure!

I intend to swing by the East Coast at some point, so that'd be pretty cool.
Ya'know, after all this 'ronavirus crap calms down a bit.

Yeah, god. I've been stuck inside for months and been damn lucky that I qualified for pandemic aid. I'd be SOL otherwise. How've you been holding up?

Eh, it ain't so bad. Working from home suits me - no more commuting for hours. Lots of time to work on personal projects just for fun

They really haven't, no. I'm fairly sure we could do this just as easily via Discord. I have an RPGT discord server I never really made use of, but if we ever wanted to, that would serve the role even better than the Site could.

That sounds like it could be a lot of fun.

KP should really put the Discord link on the site or somethin' so people know where we're at lately.

Well, I'll be darned, the old crew is still here! Or at least were a couple weeks ago. My timing is the same as it's always been.

We're around. I just don't always check in anymore because the only new things I'll see here are usually bots. So I purge them every couple of weeks

As for the link:
