Likely on Fridays EST. We have 1-2 as staff already but another 1-2 wouldn't hurt either. The tavern has plans for a fighting pit with a sort of combat system to it (it will be different from the one below just to make it as far as possible to all who participate) Also we have a ongoing FC story that gets events weekly as well (or near as weekly as I can plan them). We're in the process of putting together a sort of combat system so these events can go more smoothly and are easier to manage with a group of people. The crew itself is made up of sellswords, pirates from other groups, mercenaries, and just various rift raft that happen across our misfit of a group. I try to tailor events so even the characters who aren't as combat heavy have something to do to make them feel useful and a part of the group.

Well.. we took a bit of a break to sort out things in the group and start raiding but now that things are well underway and we're working on the actual Free Company story. I'd like to have more folks involved. The group has some a long way and I am proud of them through the ups and downs of both rp events and just over all trials of the FC as a whole.

Oh you have no idea .. we've handled a few kegs already.. *sigh* My biggest hurdle is that some of the kegs are friends well before FF and I wasn't really planning on my joining the rp cause they never had rp'ed before. But here we are. I agree with trying to focus more on the players who are motivated and putting the effort. It's what I have been doing. Guess really all I can do to keep as much peace as possible is keep pushing for small events and folks will have to sort themselves if they want to keep going to the weekly or not. Like you said.. can lead a horse to water.. if they aren't willing to change not much I can do about it. I've suggested all the prompts I can think of to support some thinking for people and their characters to see if I could inspire some motivation .. haha.

I think another issue my group has.. is we have a fair amount that are new to rp or only rp the one day a week for the event or if another event is set up.I myself rp outside of the events so over all I don't understand the left out feeling as there is always something else to be attending to or doing as far as a rp story / character is concerned. Also I had the idea at the start to have tailored events, even more for the 'casual' players.. I tried to encourage trade skill or just all around common folk. But most of them took up some form of combat role and now don't have the excuse that they can't aid in combat for most missions. I even tossed the idea the other day in the discord of folks telling me personal goals or drives for the characters they played.. I more or less got a slew of meme answers so .. that didn't help at all. Telling some people straight up they cannot attend an event would just lead to drama in our FC, sadly a thin line as we have some streamers in the mix that like to air out their dirty laundry to the public.. and the last thing I need is for that to happen more than once and rumors from it. We have tow raid teams going fairly strong. So trying to balance them as well as other casual events and rp.. while keeping the peace (this is what i get for speaking up that I could be the FC leader back when we had like 5 people. haha..) i do agree that the events have to be fun for the DM as well. Really after this weeks event and the wedding coming up for someone in the FC I was debating on speaking up that I was taking a short break from leading the events. Like people can still meet up casually but DM wise I need a break. Not from lack of topics/content to go over that is for sure. But I need time to finish taking care of the FC website, combat rules, and a few other things to make my life easier. >_> Now as far as turn order.. I had to install it as we have a couple of folks who are post happy. like they will post every little thing that comes to mind instead of thinking things through. But if I can manage to get people to calm down and break off into smaller groups it would make things far more manageable. I can lay out a basic idea or plan for small events to where they can be run themselves or someone else dm'ing them so that's not even a big deal. Just need them to be willing to do so. x.x also I was suggested having trigger events like a knock on the door to try to encourage groups to break off.. but then let them free form after, because any direction after that is too controlling? That is what I was told anyway .. but with this group .. with no direction they get bored and confused or just don't do anything. @-@

I have... a weird group. I have a couple of folks who get really .. on edge? Not sure how to word it .. if they get left out or skipped over. We set up a post order for most things so they don't get over looked. But I will admit it really slows anything and everything down as well as people just not really paying attention due to the long wait time. I'm just at a loss for the casual side of things. Mainly due to people not wanting to adjust or break off in groups for whatever reason. (again probably down to the whole they dont want to miss anything even though i do a summary each week).

So my little FC grew a fair bit and has a fair amount of rp'ers now. I was given the suggestion to try to break our weekly event (we do raids and other events so we only do a guild event once a week for rp) into smaller groups. Some are saying it takes too long to post or get anywhere. One.. I'm not sure how to do that when most of the fc like to stick near where I am.. or without flat out DM'ing for multiple groups. I also get the feeling then some people would just break off into the same group of 2-3 every time and never form any bonds with other characters. One of my officers suggested trigger events, like a knock at the door for an example and x people go to check it out. But to leave them on their own from there and telling me if I try to dm or direct that group I was being too controlling? It is slow posting when we have 8 plus members, we set a turn order (is adjusted when needed) so the slower typers can keep up in an event.. otherwise we have a few who are trigger happy on typing. I'm open to any and all suggestions. Just trying to work with and fix things before people decide to leave the rp part of the fc. I want it to be fun and enjoyable, but I wasn't prepared for what to do once we had more than 8 people every rp night. Combat was easy enough when I split the groups but that semi directed itself as well. This question more leans towards the more casual nights or down time between events where the group rps.
