Blech the Second

lbd_nytetraynI have no idea if I should keep GMing. I'm not sure I can handle 21XX in a way that would be pleasing to the players. My Legends arc on Avion sort of fell flat, though I admit it did have it's high points. But I think it carried on for far longer than it should have for what did happen.
And BN, I seem to somehow do a better job chasing people off than keeping them, after things "shifted focus" early on, which I have no earthly idea how they did. And I guess I've developed some sort of reputation as being self-serving, as apparently in our last session, I was being waited on for my character to save the day... ironically, it wasn't even my character who ended up doing so.
Guess what folks, even though I played the part, it wasn't my character. I tried to be subtle, mostly due to my usual distaste for such tactics, but I used Mr. Famous, aka Meijin Eguchi(in the Japanese games) as the one who delivered the vaccine.
Maybe I rely too much on plot devices. Maybe I'm too forward thinking. I actually know what I want to do with my characters two arcs past the current one and Gelg's. Still, can't help myself on that. Actually, the first of those ends up being something of a device in itself to go into the second of those two arcs. And the first one, I came up with before the first BN story arc was even finished, and part of it may be better served as a fanfic. Guess I can't help myself, maybe I should withdraw myself and stay to minor roles like in 22XX before I do more damage.
I just don't friggin' know anymore. Maybe I'll just finish up my 21XX stuff and let someone else run it.
And I have to wonder if I haven't ruined Legends at some point. Reading some of the old logs, it seems to have lost some of the old zany charm it used to have. I'd like to think I can bring some of that back, but I don't know. Maybe I should turn my full attention to writing... except there are so damned many fics out there nowadays that mine would just be lost in the shuffle...

Date: 2004-01-19 05:33 am (UTC)You're good BN, for the most part. You DO have a tendency to use events beyond the player's control to resolve things, but sometimes this is the only reasonable way to do things. You were fresh early on in BN, but as things went on you were doing better. The only real fault I'd give you for the Zero virus thing is you counted on people reading back over the logs and stuff to act right when infected.
With the X universe, I have lots of faith in you. As you can see in 22XX, almost everything good I've done with my plot arc came from YOUR ideas. The entire lab arc is tied to After 21XX. And as for Legends. YOU never screwed it up. Everyone else lost track, but your character was the only one that remained the same throughout. I complained to you, but that's because you're easy to talk to. Because you're such a reasonable person it's easy to just unload. You can do it, BD, and don't take anything bad I've said as a reason to quit =/
