That's a point of view that more players = more activity = better RPing experience. I happen to disagree with that logic myself. I think between 4-6 players is the optimum for a RPG if you intend it to actually have some kind of narrative. The problem with open world concept RPGs is that you give the players the freedom to do whatever they want, freedom that includes not participating in the RPG's story campaign if they don't want to. To me that is counter productive if you're looking to try to craft a compelling story, cause who's to say if anyone will even participate?

With table top RPGs (which is what I see as the basis for forum based RPGs as well) it's about creating a campaign where everyone is having fun. Narrative is very important, but the person most responsible that is your DM (or whoever is running the story) cause frankly without some guidance no story is ever going to get anywhere.

It was late 2001 when I first found MSN Groups, I was just looking up information on Dragon Ball Z and ended up coming across a RPG (Ultra DBZ RPG) and after joining some non-RP groups that had to do with DBZ and Final Fantasy I eventually joined Ultra DBZ RPG 2 seeing it as kinda like D&D but forum based. I quickly found the lack of order and freeform atmosphere to be something I didn't like so by mid 2002 I was already working on my own DBZ RPG and I've been creating forum based RPGs ever since, attempting to make them more and more like the table top experience.

They way I work is once I have the general concepts in my head I put them to paper, at first a stream of thought which I then organize into sections, pages, etc. From there I tend to actually physically break down each section on paper (I usually organize how I want my page to flow, how I want to use images, tables, spacers, etc) for each page and only then do I start actually working on site. Suggestion for future articles: History. Explore the relationships between certain RPG and system lineage.

Once content production starts though It should be relatively quick. As for RF, yes I will post updates weekly if there is weekly news about it.

The forums however will receive theme updates to fit all of the new colors available and if they chats do become integrated they will load inside of the theme so it shouldn't effect them.
