As I said, winding down does not mean today or even next week. But I would like an estimate of how much longer this RPG will run. One month? Two?

A major part of RPGing is actually finishing a game. This was seriously lacking in the old Freestyle forum; it was open for about 8 months and only 3 or 4 games were actually completed. The rest were abandoned or wandered around. When there is never an end in sight, players eventually get bored and leave.

If you finish a game, you can always spin off another with similar characters, or try something new. There's a number of people who want to join a game, but the older RPGs are either closed for new members or are too far along for someone to step in comfortably.
