I'm sort of stuck on this one.  There are many I'd like to play but they are the threads I'm most likely to end up running and as much fun as running the threads is, I REALLY want to play.

I also realize that the Anitaverse was crazy popular and would love to see it return with a more cohesive group of characters.

I haven't read anything in the anitaverse in a really long time.  I know it and vtm are super popular but I would like some variety in games and they are a fair bit similar. Just my opinion.

I am also up to hearing from anyone that would like to pitch an idea or try their hand at running a thread as it is I've reached out and it looks like theres gonna be about 8 of us on site being active. So not everyone is gonna want to write in every thread.


Running a thread isn't that much different than playing honestly you just have to moderate it and gently steer your characters , write for npcs, and be responsibe with the pacing of said board.

With that said I have noted that the pacing issues for many of the boards including the ones i used to run made them drag on a fair bit. I am working with Maxx to see if we can pick up pacing in some of the threads we boot up better so we aren't taking a year to make 7 days pass in game. I mean its great for development and everything else but i think thats where most of our players sort of also lost interest. We will mess around and try to find a better balance.

The easy way to do that is to set a time limit.

This date ends Jan 31, so the next day will drop Feb 1.  Doesn't mean you have to stop RPing that scene.  It just means the next scene is starting and the story is moving on.

Heyo Folks o/

I'm down of AB I as well would need to reread a book or two to brush up on the universe a bit. I also am down for some D&D I've played 5e on roll 20 and even attempted to DM a module for it but people just vanished with full on ghost so I've been out of D&D for a bit as well.

I'm not a huge fan of 5E but if you want to run one, feel free.  You'll likely find players.

In all honesty, I am down for whatever. You put something up, I will either whip up a character or drag someone out of the vault. Its all peanutbutter and jelly for me.
