Keeping it Real
Posted: Sun Apr 25, 2010 9:31 pm
I've posed this question to a few of you before, but I thought it would be more helpful to ask everyone en masse and sort it out in the comments section. The question I'm asking should be obvious:
Do you think that War of Lords is still viable?
I'm not doubting anyone's conviction, but given that Dai's game collapsed, I've begun to wonder whether this game can actually last. Much of the reason why Dai's campaign fell apart seemed to be slipt between the abundance of effort required and the lack of intrest in sorting through all of the dense political stuff. Let's be honest, much the reason why we play this game it for the kickassery (combat), and there wasn't going to be as much of that in Dai's game, then I guarantee there will be even less in War of Lords. Not to mention even more dense political strategical navigation. Some of us get our jollies from that sort of thing, and some of us don't.
You could very easily argue that once some more of us graduate/hit summer break, it will be easier to find more room for gaming. But even with the time off from Academia, I am not looking very favorably at the prospect of trying to chase down people, especially not in a game with as much work as this one. Not to mention that I'll almost certainly be working multiple jobs if I stay in the city.
So, my friends, we stand at a crossroads.
Discuss.
