I'm so sorry! I got swamped with school and it's suffocating, please help. ;;Do I require a summary?VEC I'M SO SORRY FOR LEAVING TRAF-GUY HANGING.

No you don't need a summary. All we did was go to next morning. Did you even read the IC?

But that's what you said yesterday. And the day before that. Just delegate, and have your boyfriend type up the intro post.

Post anything. Get involved.

It's waaaaay past "tonight". Where's our opening post?

"I hope we make progress today." James agreed, leaning against the wall. He closed his eyes, and went over today's plans.

The town was large enough to have a mage's guild of some kind, so it was worth looking in for research. More immediately, however, he had to feed Anya. She couldn't feed exclusively from him, and he couldn't spare much anyways if giant hyenas ran amok. He'd have to secure a meal for her quickly.
"I hope you don't mind, but I need you to stay with Elric for a little while." he said, getting up. James collected his armor from the ground, and began to strap it onto himself. "I have to go run a few errands outside, and I don't want you caught outside if the weather clears up."
After finishing with the armor, he belted on his sword. "I promise it'll only be for a while, though. If it's rainy when I come back, I'll take you out then. Sound good?"

Wait. But James is wearing red. DON'T THINK I WON'T HACK THROUGH SOME HALF-NAKED PEASANTS.

Still here, if you need me! @Bee, I like how you took initiative. And yeah, Wyvern, exactly what Remmy would do.I actually intended this to be an RP where I set out a very basic setting and assorted plot hooks and let my players do the rest. I thought this method would significantly lessen the effort I had to make in GMing. However, my method is going slightly wonky. If I need to pay more attention,holler.

You can't just do that; you can't slack. A GM has to put maximum effort into games, and above all make sure something is actually happening. You need to both check up on and post IC in the game regularly. If a player doesn't show initiative and take over, it's far more likely everyone will just flake, and the game will die.

I have seen this happen too many damn times.

Yes. Start.

Slowly, the Sun rose over Estermere, giving a dim light as it faded through the clouds. A certain grayness illuminated the streets, as the town bustled to life; carpenters began their work on repairing the damage from the hyena's rampage as the guards' recruiters talked to the town crier.

James' eyes cracked open, and he peered down. Anya was still sleeping in his lap; all was well. He gave a yawn. The overcast weather was good for her. He hugged the girl a little more tightly. He'd find her dinner today.

I'll switch it to morning shortly. Finish up anything you wanted to do.
