Hi all,
Currently a co-GM for an RP with a total of 8 people and it feels like it is going nowhere. One month in, two weeks since the last post. One player hasn’t posted yet but says they’re not dropping (heck, no one has officially dropped). People keep saying they’re too busy or they’re working on a post, and I keep encouraging them to get something up, but it feels like I’m trying to squeeze water from a stone.
What’s even more frustrating is that two players have started NEW games as GMs, and pretty much everyone is active in other RPs.
So my question is, at what point do I stop fretting about this and just close up shop? Is there any way to motivate players to post? Are some RPs just slower moving than others? Am I overreacting? Was really looking forward to this RP and I’m really bummed out at the prospect of it ending before it ever really started. But at the same time, do I want to be constantly dragging these people along for something they don’t seem particularly enthusiastic about?
I’ll take my answer off the air. Thanks!
