It's not so much that the games were bad but that the ideas were so good. You are so good at doing the blurbs for your games that it is difficult or even impossible for the actual games to live up to them. Talking to my friends who played in your other scenario ('One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing') it was clear to me that from reading the blurb their anticipation of the game was very great and the expectation very high. I appreciate the difficulty here, of course. If you don't put up a compelling blurb for your game, then no one will want to play in it. On the other hand, if you do make an extremely compelling blurb, then you set expectations for your game very (perhaps even unrealistically) high.<BR/><BR/>I think I could probably give you a run for your money in the procrastination department. Not now, though - maybe next week...Darrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15896152967778151320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3131617388503759162.post-18334136251001800562009-01-19T22:48:00.000-08:002009-01-19T22:48:00.000-08:00"I suspect, from also hearing about other games, t..."I suspect, from also hearing about other games, that Ivan's better at coming up with the ideas than with executing them."<BR/><BR/>Yowch *grin*. No, that's fair comment, and I appreciate the feedback. I am a dreadful procrastinator (oh, who am I kidding -- I am a world class procrastinator) so I tend to end up underprepared and overly reliant on the player group to make their own fun, which sometimes works really well and sometimes falls rather flat... or, indeed, extremely flat. So feedback like this is a great incentive to give myself a kick in the backside next time around!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
