Poll Results [12.8.10 - 12.10.10] - Text RPG Turn 15 Sorry folks, but I suppose I should have realized that speeding things up would have brought me to this point faster than I would have liked. Due to the limitation of being stuck in a sidebar on the main page, I really can't prattle on too...

Poll Results [12.6.10 - 12.8.10] - Text RPG Turn 14 And we're moving right along.

Poll Results [12.1.10 - 12.4.10] - Text RPG Turn 12 I knew someone would catch that :) Rest assured I did not forget about it! This early on still, we're kind of "on rails" story-wise. I'm not ready to introduce that element of the plot just yet. It'll come back don't worry.

Poll Results [12.1.10 - 12.4.10] - Text RPG Turn 12 I'm liking where this is going, and might be able to set the stage for my first game element soon... a very small fight for the players. Player? Well it's a singular character being controlled by majority decision of multiple people. How do you refer...

Poll Results [11.26.10 - 11.29.10] - Text RPG Turn 10 Wow that was a close vote! So close, in fact that I was worried when I was writing the next turn. I can't "close" a poll until I post up a new one, so when I decide a poll is over (whenever I have time to write the next turn) I check the results...
