It might just be the season, but I can't recall it being this bad.

It's hard to stay engaged in a narrative if there's several days in between posts.

Oh do I know that feeling. One of the games I run has actually grinded to a halt since late September.

Join more games lol. I'm in a game that moves at a really fast pace, and if I decide to play video games for more than 45 minutes I miss like 10 posts. Which I love, because I have nothing but free time but I am unwilling to put all my energy into  running a game on here.

In reply to AtomicGamer (msg # 1):

Rpol always slows down at holiday time, and I believe it was Thanksgiving in the US this weekend so a lot of players will have been absent.

In reply to Ihira (msg # 2):

As GM it is really up to you to push the game along. If it has been inactive since September then either kick start it or get some new players on board. You are the driver of your game bus so do something about it. :)

I know this pain, I want to post a game but... lets put it this way I am in at least 10 games, and only make a few ic posts a week. Tis the season I heard, but... it feels wrong.

The holidays always slow things down.  As a kid some 30 years ago my group was my friends and getting together whenever was easy.  Now as an adult with kids of my own the holidays impact my gaming even more.

Have you tried hunting for a solo game, with someone on a similar schedule?

They can be quite fulfilling.
