Restarting this...some help?

[SkycoderCrota]

Restarting my minecraft roleplay that actually pretty well. For adventurous purposes and so we wouldn't get bored, I added in selected people to have certain powers and a death mechanic. Unmentioned I believe....I might have put the death mechanic in ooc. But I'm restarting it and I need help figuring how to keep it going this time, any advice or help?

I suggest adding maybe a... lurker of some sorts. Some thing that keeps all the players at the edge of their seat, sweating, waiting, staring at their window in fear. It would make them more conscious of what's around them in the roleplay and it would also introduce the ability for the players to express themselves more. You might want to consider putting hints of civilization, cannibals, hints to escape, etc. These are just ideas.


For an rp to continue, the GM has to be extremely involved with their players. Once a week, I recommend checking up on everyone, maybe asking them how they are or helping them plan their next post. This interaction makes the people feel needed and wanted, and they will repay such feelings with "Man, I definitely have to post for this guy." You also have to keep it interesting, give the roleplayers a goal, a purpose, or something to look forward to. Only give them hints, however, because when you tell people what the plan is, they will lose inspiration and the need to continue.


Hope I didn't ramble too much and that this helps!
