I can't help but feel exasperated that two smarties can't see where this thing goes. I've reread my contribution several times and each time I didn't see where smarties couldn't get it.

Do you see the questons at the ends of the sections? Do they have answers? No. T he questions will be answered as the story makes progress.

Look at life, does live a visible future? Life is not a straight line; it has many loops and turns, like the lines in a letter.

Isn't this how a book is written? Starting at the beginning, with little or no certainty of what may come up or how it may end?

Exasperate me further...Turn me stupider...

You're not stupid dear, we were just commenting that it wasn't your lack of mystery which was wrong, but your lack of a sense of a beginning, a strong starting place in which to leap from.

RPGers won't join if they don't understand how all of this is starting. You've got to give up a few of your secrets to get them interested. Telling them what the world is about and how the different types of characters interract is very important, which you have, but you need to also include a beginning setting, somewhere to start, give up a few secrets to get the masses interested enough to patiently wait the reveals of others.

Many threads die because they either keep too strong ahold of the twists they present in their threads or because those twists were random and the GM was trying to connect the dots after the creation. They also lack setting. Every story must have a place in which the events took place.

So, let's start with giving us a brief paragraph summary of what you intend on happening in the beginning of this thread and we'll work from there.
