The Black Undeath

@pugbutter Yeah I hope we can get more peeps, but even if we can't we might be able to go through this with just us three in the same location.

@Nerdude I can certainly use some of these, and I've found some as well. Not sure what I'll use for Cartelom, but you've nabbed plenty of useable images.

The Black Undeath

@pugbutter Yes, unless I make any significant changes to the CS of course - but I don't think I'll be doing that. Even if I do make changes to the CS you'll still practically be guaranteed acceptance, anyways.

@Nerdude Alright, cool.

And good grief that's a good chunk of images...

The Black Undeath

@pugbutter Yeah, that's pretty much why I'm deciding just to reboot it. Why bother continuing if nobody comes back and the situation doesn't get any better.

But yes, this next time around I'll be restricting the starting area to one location.

@Nerdude Yeah, that's what I'll go with. I'll try to remember to throw an NPC sheet together, but if I fail to do that before the reboot goes live just remind me. I am going to focus most of my time on expanding and revitalizing the world, though I can't promise any pictures.

I had tried finding a reference picture for Cartelom to include in my first post, but didn't deem any of them sufficient. I'll give cities another go, but due to the nature of my monsters (mostly regarding those I've yet to reveal) finding reference art for some of them is probably going to be near impossible, if not entirely so - though I do want to find a reference picture to go with the header for the Monster Section. One picture is way easier than scouring the internet for all the enemies I've currently got milling around in my pocket.

And while I think a map would be cool, I just don't have the ability to make one that I feel would be presentable. A reference image for the region itself might not actually be too hard to find, but I haven't tried searching for one of those yet. I'll see how that goes. It might actually be really quick and easy.

This could take me a while. I'm hoping no more than 2 weeks, as I've got summer classes to worry about and my schedule has changed drastically due to changes in my ride situation that leaves me with a whole lot less of the time I normally spent working on this kinda stuff. But there's a fair amount of stuff I want to cover. I threw the original interest check up when this was just a barebones concept, not expecting much to come of it, and ended up flailing around for a month or two - half of which time was spent without internet - trying to scrape this thing together with all the inspiration I could muster. Part of that's just down to how I work, but I did feel some pressure once people started showing interest.

Now I don't feel that pressure, and I've got a base to start with instead of starting from scratch. I know where I want to go and what I want to do, now, I just need the time to put it together and into words.

The Black Undeath

Oh my god it's already been 8 days?!

Well... I guess it's about time I delivered my verdict, huh? I've seen RPs survive through worse droughts of activity than this, but all of them easily had at least triple the posts we have. The main issue here is lack of active players, and a reboot might help with that.

So... that's what I'll do. First, though, I'm going to give the RP a bit of a facelift, add a few more monsters to the starting list, readdress the rules, etcetera. I've also still got summer classes to deal with, which shouldn't outright stop me - but will certainly slow me down.

Will continue to post updates here for the time being.

The Black Undeath

With Ocelot being rather unresponsive as well, I fear the RP will either be forced into dormancy and/or die off. As much as I don't want that to happen... I just don't know what to do. I'd prefer a state of dormancy to death, so I'll stick with this for as long as anyone else will.

If worst comes to worst, though, I'd be down for a reboot if you guys are. I've really enjoyed writing this so far and I want to see it grow, cause there's so much that I want to show.

@pugbutter How much planning had you two managed to put into the heist? He may not be my character, and I cannot speak for Yeet, but as GM I would not be opposed to allowing minor control of his character. Enough to imply he did his part of the job, if that's even possible to imply. Although... he's probably been gone long enough by now to justify temporary control of his character, but that doesn't mean I feel good about it.

At the end of the day, if you need to control his character to get another post out, I will allow you to do so - as long as you do it tastefully. I still don't feel too good about this, so if you'd rather write another solo-post (who am I kidding, they'd both be solo-posts at this point) I'll help you out as best I can.

It's your call.

@Ocelot79 I know you were busy, and I should've reached out sooner, but whenever you get on and see this I just want to know if you've been unable to post due to life circumstances or roleplay ones. I can only help with one of those, but I can fully understand both. Not trying to rush you, just making sure you don't feel/get left behind.
