Posted September 16, 20222 yr comment_2890332 I’ve noticed that forum activity seems to have dropped a lot recently. It used to be that there were new postings appearing pretty regularly across multiple forums, but not so much recently. Has anyone else noticed this, or am I just imagining it?
September 16, 20222 yr comment_2890341 No, I think I’ve noticed this awhile ago. It just seems a lot of rehashing of old topics of late and perhaps the magic has faded of the system too. Just my 2 cents of course.
September 16, 20222 yr comment_2890345 I've long noticed that forum activity is seasonal, depending on what's going on in Real Life(tm). We've just come off summer vacation season, and now we're in the surge of back-to-school. I would say, let's give it a little time before we start to depress ourselves, see if things pick back up.
September 17, 20222 yr comment_2890414 Every forum I use has seen a drop in activity (hopefully not because I’m a member…), there are simply too many alternatives. Despite Discord’s chatroom style steam being singularly unsuitable as a forum substitute it does appear to suit what a lot of people like, so it draws folks away. Same with Reddit and the rest.

Yeah, I think this is the biggest factor. People often end up discussing things wherever they already are, even if other places are better suited to the discussions.
September 19, 20222 yr comment_2890607 Some of it's from the continuing drift away from forums, but I agree about seasonality as well. Certainly I've been occupied with other things lately. Bu I'll be cranking up another Hero campaign for the fall and winter. There's nothing better to bring warmth and light to a long, cold, dark winter.
October 5, 20222 yr comment_2892285 Eh... Well, I popped back up. Maybe I should have showered first.
October 5, 20222 yr comment_2892287 I always check this a few times a week, but the problem for me is there is less game discussion, and more RL Sports and Politics discussion. So there isn't a lot of new genre subjects being discussed, and since I don't use 6th edition, not a lot to discuss about rules mechanics.
December 29, 20222 yr comment_2902056 I visit this site almost every day, but I haven't posted much lately.
December 29, 20222 yr comment_2902086 I post kyoot pics...? (currently not in a HERO/Champions game yet alas)
December 29, 20222 yr comment_2902094 It's been a long time since we have heard from @Lucius and his palindromedary
December 30, 20222 yr comment_2902176 Discord does grant an immediate type of satisfaction but really isn’t much for just scrolling through topics.
April 16, 20232 yr comment_2913514 I was away for a while working on non-Hero projects. Now I'm working on Atomic Sky and the Hero System for Foundry VTT so I'm back to more active lurking/occasional posting. Not much in need of rules discussions of late, so not posting/reviewing stuff like that. I plan to share more Atomic Sky stuff once the rough edges get filed down. Playtesting for that is going well. Keeping the content/approach more core Hero than some of the experimental stuff I did for Narosia.
