Quote from Ash_the_evil >>

 I've spent a huge amount of time writing Malrick, I basically have his whole life story. The original canpaign I had him ended off with a loss where he was imprisoned, so I put him in TSF. I never did get to introduce his layer before he got killed :(

 Yeah, sad to see that thread didn't last, it was one of the few that I got to have fun being creative with for my characters.

 It was one of my favorite threads, it was funny though as only 2/5ths of my characters on the thread were evil, so the interactions with the other's could be pretty funny.

 I certainly enjoyed making it with Arch and Cyno and everyone else. It had its issues that led to its death, although I'm wondering if at least some of those issues could be remedied...

 I’d join it!

 Possibly. I think part of the challenge is that TSF was much more mechanics heavy so you would need someone motivated enough to keep updating and tweaking the mechanics as the thread evolves.

 Yeah, Tara and Platy leaving slowed things down a lot because at that point me, Cyno and Arch were the only remaining mods to make new abilities, go over homebrew (and there was a lot of homebrew), etc. Update 3 didn't even have a name because it was so small.

 Yeah, its not that it can't work. But it takes a lot of dedication and not everyone can maintain that, or honestly should have to feel obligated to do so. I think the Universe Smörgåsbord and its predecessor worked because the mechanics were simplified, allowing things to be more about the rping and worldbuilding/lore building then fighting and making strong characters all while still having some sort of fighting mechanic for those that wanted one.

 I've had several thread ideas for quite some time, but I'm not sure the huge amount of work (Very difficult ideas to bring to fruition) would be worth it due to the low amounts of interest of threads in late.

 Yeah, that is one of the challenges. I had considered once or twice trying to start a new Universe Smörgåsbord-like thread by taking that thread's mechanics structure and updating it, but I don't know if it would even be of interest to anyone.

 I also think that one the things that makes threads lose interest is the lack of something clear to do. I believe that the only reason some characters fight is that it is one of the few ways at clear progression in some threads.

 Honestly, this touches on another issue. Some people rp by creating story and character interactions and others rp by overcoming challenges and engaging with some sort of mechanical component the thread offers. This can sometimes lead to a disconnect between posters. I can imagine that this can lead to some disconnect where those who are more storyteller RPers avoid mostly mechanic/combat heavy threads (like the Arena threads) and more challenge/combat RPers avoid mostly storyteller threads (like the standard tavern threads).

 Yeah, I'd would be great to make a thread that truly mixes the two, but as I said. It would be difficult.

I could maybe help with the obsessive amount of time I spend online?

 Yeah, I'll look into it.

I can help as well!

I’m too lazy for employment 😔 and I think I’m gonna go into animation or writing or smth so I need to be productive by practicing for that.

Last time I checked in on this thread it was on page 59, in 2024. That's crazy.

I like to see a bit of both. My favorite threads are taverns that use combat or skill checks to advance a story through events. Occasional raids and stuff. 

That reminds me, I'm pretty sure someone tried to bomb the Tales of Adventurer's Tavern once. Or maybe burned it down. And the other players weren't going for it, so they all just pretended the whole thing never happened.

 What? Wow. That would have been the best response to something like that.
