Too Quiet

[sylas]

there's not been a whole lot of activity here lately.

what are you working on right now? what are you reading? what are your future plans for FF? what would you like to see?

keep the FF forum alive by sharing your thoughts. others may well be thinking the same.

You're right,that's what I was thinking.

I'm working on finding that envelope that I wrote the final part of the RPY Sky Lord battle.

I'm reading some of the new gamebooks-oh!That reminds me.I promised to post about Stephen Thrave's gamebooks.I will do it.Yes I will!Soon.Maybe.(Got kind of a procrastination problem).

Future plans for FF?Just hope that more will be written.I hope it won't fade out.

I would like to see,like I pointed out,more new FF (or not FF)gamebooks,and more issues of FFantazine,definitely.Would like an interview with Stephen Hand(should this be in the three wishes thread?Or was that nine wishes?).

Currently reading the Sorcery! series. Up to the Seven Serpents, really impressed thus far, can't put them down actually.

Love the RPG elements in these books. Cross off the most fragile item in your possession, learning the spells/memorisation etc. I also like the way food is used, much more realistic. The combat effects from the use of magic is sometimes very interesting and creative.

Yes, it's strange really because a lot of people have been visiting. I was worried about the everyone-waiting-for-someone else thing in the months after TUFFF closed, but I thought we'd reached critical mass here. There should always be something ticking over even if it's just game threads as no one's going to join a forum that no one's posted in in the past 48 hours.

One thing I find really weird is that this forum is set up mostly to support the fanzine with sub-forums set up for the issues, yet no one starts discussion threads about the contents of the recent ones. People must have things to say about the PDE interview and the adventures.

Of course there are still some FMs who never made it across. For example, am I right in thinking that Fallingmast never signed up here? Because a matter of some several weeks before TUFFF collapsed he was engaged enough with FF to be working on a big ol' Sorcery! solution so it's a shame he's not here... I think he came across with the same name from the Lone Wolf forum didn't he? Perhaps if anyone's a member of that forum they might PM him on there (even if he's not active he might get the email).

As for me, I don't know if the word 'working' is the right one, but at some point before the end of time there may be a Crimson Tide parody in the Pen/Sword section.

Ooh,Crimson Tide parody!Hope it's not too hard to understand.I had no idea what was going in TCT at all.

Hey guys just came back from vacation! True it's been quiet, and I got my share of the blame, but that's because prior to that I was buried in the sand, I mean work; unpleasant stuff I have to do if I want to stay alive, that kind of thing.
Right now though work is quiet so I'm hoping to find the time to write a review or two.
I'm currently reading through Dracula's Castle again, as Dracula, the meanest of the baddest vampire out there - scratch that - the weakest of the vampires to ever have walk 5 or 10 rooms in a row and fall to his death.

So this should be my review, along with Curse of Frankenstein if possible.
Meanwhile, hang in there, those are the summer months, not much going on!

I generally play gamebooks when its dark in the evenings! Just now i'm out birdwatching (or gardening when the wife tells me too ) I'll be playng/posting more in two or three months!

Have you still avoided knowing? That's impressive discipline if so.
I have to admit that I only found my way to TUFFF (and so here) because I rediscovered the book having utterly failed to complete it as a teenager, thought 'Oh HELL no.' and googled my way to Sunil's solution (which no longer exists).

Part of my problem, I think, is that at that time I was quite casual about writing stuff down on my Adventure Sheet. I figured if you get asked if you have something or a word written down you can just remember it. But while that works just fine for, say, Moonrunner, with TCT it makes a tricky book impossible. Perhaps this is the nudge you need too? (You'll still need your brain switched on - and need to be prepared for a dozen deaths or so.)

Anyway, I can promise my parody will be easier (if it ever turns up), but you may get more from it if you understand TCT.

Well exactly.

Here it comes.....

Donk.

Hmm, we really should get that clock fixed.

I keep getting lost in the navigation. There are too many subfora in my view - and most activity is lumped into one of them.

I used to use the "most recent posts" thing as well for a catchup, but can't see that here.

It's still there, down at the bottom of the main page. I use it all the time.

As for me, I've been drowned by work and then took some time off with the family, so no time recently for FF. Hopefully that will change soon.

Ah, thanks. Think I might just keep the recent posts as my bookmark.
