You might be over-thinking this a bit, kc.  Perhaps it's just 'cause I'm new here, but things seemed to be going along fairly well to me.  You tell me to look at Wandlore class... um, that seemed to be shaping up nicely.  Perhaps I just don't know what's expected of me here... I mean, it is<em>class</em>, our actions are supposed to be somewhat restricted in class.  Or am I just thinking too much like a<em>good</em>student?  :-)<br/><br/>Although I can definitely relate to GM's anxiety... in an internet game it can be so damn hard to tell if the players are truly engaged or not.  I've had slow spots too -- I just picked a way to advance things and provide some new prompts.  It's always managed to pick up and move along.  But I know, it's hard to be relaxed about such things -- but you can't expect a forum game to always hum along with posts every day; that's just never gonna happen.<br/><br/>Oh, and in case it's not really clear -- I am indeed happy to continue and looking forward to more.<br/>:-)
