So, just before you get to far into this: [i]this is going to sound a little whiny.[/i] But I promise you, [b]its not.[/b] (At least I'll try not to be.)
I've played quite a few Rps on different sites, of varying qualitys, and I've enjoyed a lot of them, some ranging from me and a few other people, to one I'm involved in right now that has 15 active people going at once. (I'm new here, so I can't judge if that's unusual, but I think that's a lot of people) And so, I thinks to myself 'hey, why don't I make an Rp?' So I do. And I have a lackluster response. I get a few people joining, and it goes for a week, and then everyone loses interest. And so I thinks to myself, 'hey, maybe people aren't interested in that game idea, so let's do a new one' and I do. And I get even less of a response. This has happened a few times now, and it frustrates me, since I think I have some genuinely good ideas and universes that would be fun to Roleplay through. But to even get started, I have to have people signed up to play. Which is where I've failed each time.
[i]So how do I get people interested in signing up for one of my games? What's the best way to throw an rp pitch to get the [s]phat l00t[/s] Roleplaying ball rolling?[/i]
