Yes, but it hasn't.

Alright then. CONGRADULATIONS HLG! Your the DM now! Here are my notes

Make things up as you go along. Pretend to roll dice. Ignore PMs. Lie about the rules, because having rules are for chumps.

Well that is all of them. Good luck~.

.....More seriously though, I am in the same boat as KJP right now. Same year, same major even  . This game takes an absurd amount of time and effort to run, even with me half-butting it and skipping the calculations (or KJP's fancy coding and computer stuff). This is inherent in the idea, even any simplified mechanics (Such as KJP's list which removes price checking for the most part) don't reduce the work to a manageable level. Just trying to get all the actions processed in a sensible way can take hours. The only real solution I came up with was to have multiple DMs, but I have no clue how that would manage to work with a game like this, and would require one of the more active players not play.

If anyone wants to continue the game on their own, or make a reboot, or a similar game I can send them my real notes, make suggestions, and generally help out if necessary. In any case, there is nothing I can do about it a week from finals  .

You could always just postpone until you have freedom to update. Slow updates are better then no updates.

I tried a smaller version of that when the game was still live. The major problem is that the game takes a while to slow down. If it took a week for people to stop posting on the game, then I would have to do a weeks worth of processing at once. It doesn't really save a lot of time, it just puts the massive time cost in a different place. It also takes away from the momentum-its hard to do a massive amount of work once a month and not touch it the rest of the time.

[~Neri]

Maybe hiatus until you're less swamped by school?

[Stirk]

There is a lot of time management stuff that would theoretically let me get some kind of updates up and random points. That doesn't take away from the fact the game still takes a lot of time and effort to do .

[~Neri]

I might be able to help a lil with the calcs for public stuff. Or provide a link or two to decent calculators.

[FallacyofUrist]

To summarize, if you outsource some of the less artistic work to your players, the game should take less time and effort to do.
Or just get a co-GM to handle half of it.

In any case, good luck with whatever you're going to do about this game.

I think I may be a bit... Busy, at the moment. *Looks at the 6 Pen and Paper campaigns he is a part of.*

[Stirk]

*sigh* Alright, since KJP vanished into Ether as he has a habit of doing, and I had not planned to leave my room for a month anyway, I'll consider reviving the game somette next week.

Since I don't play Litany, but am interested in playing, what do I need to know?

[IcyTea31]

I have forgot all of Aurosseu's plans, and what assets he has, and what other gods think of him, et cetera...

If I remember correctly that we were planning a timeskip, this might be fitting for Aurosseu as well.

[~Neri]

Woo~!

You technically don't need to know anything beyond the stuff in the OP since that explains the mechanics that players know.

I entirely remember all of Nilva's plans and assets. Timeskip technically accelerated them due to how it's replenishing Essence fully.
