What will happen to SP if AD&D CRPG's quit popping out?

Remove all ads!

[The title] Not that they ever will, but I just can't help but wonder.

 

I guess that people will stop posting in the gaming forums, and just stay to the miscellaneous forums.

If that happen, SP should then consider to put up some new forums...

 

We'll all just sit around and tell stories about "Remember back when we could pretend to kill red dragons, debate endless party and class configurations, and flame each other on politics and faith? Boy those were the days!"

Seriously though, won't happen! D&D is here to stay! (until something better comes around!)

 

Hmm... ya I suppose yer pretty much right.

 

To a certain extent, SP has an existence that goes beyond gaming; just look at the popularity of the Miscellaneous Forums. However, AD&D CRPG’s are what attract people in the first place, and I think you would see the community grow smaller over time, unless as Daephon said the site was expanded to include non-AD&D game forums.

However, the bigger (and scarier) question is how long will SP be around at all? Tal runs this site (with BTA's help), and he may not have the time or desire to do this for more than a couple of more years. So unless: a) someone else was willing to take on the huge responsibility of running the site, and b) Tal was willing to turn over the reigns, then eventually the site will likely die. Personally, if I were in Tal’s shoes, I would be very reluctant to give control of this site to someone else unless I was absolutely sure that the site would continue be run in the same professional manner as it is now, and for a long period of time. (How’s that for sucking up? )

 

I really doubt Tal would just up and say. "Well *stretch* that was interesting, but I don't want to do this anymore. SP goes off line now....thanks for playing...buh-bye..." and takes the site down. Not after all the tireless hours he's put into it. In the event that he does get tired of running the site, I'm sure he'd sooner hand off the torch to a worthy SP vet with adequate SP presence, internet knowhow, server space and free time. And even then he'll pop in here and there just to keep us all in line.

Make no mistake, boys and girls...Tal IS Sorcerer's Place. No sucking up intended or implied.

 

He might not do the *yawn* thing, but he could look at empty pockets, relize that we're all a bunch of lazy hanger-on-ers, and think, "There are better uses for my money!"

Which reminds me ... go to Whatnots and give me some advice on my headphones or I won't dedicate a thing to the site when my windfall comes in!

Heck, if the advice is good, I'll let Tal SP-ify the link and buy it through Amazon.

 

Nah, I totally disagree. Tal will pass SP to his son and the son of his son and the son of the son of his son and the son of the son of the son of his son.

 

I thought about that too. THE THE THE game was BG2. And the game which attracted the most attention was BG2. And the game which lead me here was BG2. Of course, I likes IWD-series too. I personally am quite happy with NWN, but the NWN-forums are compared to BG2/IWD2 ... ahm ... empty, even if I wished it wouldn't be this way. So, for NWN info, I go to other side, it's only because of my masochist-leaning to the alley I stay on.

Ahm, the point is. Yes,

but I have the feeling, there is going to be a down-turn in the next 2 years or so. Or the other way around, when will the next ultimate game come out, which will attract much attention ? It may be, that the next 2 years only see mediocre games coming out. What will happen to the gaming forums, which in the end are the main point of this site ?

 

We'd turn to bashing America.

Oh, wait.

 

If a really great game came out that was not AD&D CRPG maybe Val would let us have a forum for it. If the people who post here like the game and want one. Twoifs make a maybe?

 

Sorcerer's Place would die, it may take take a while, but eventually, with no new material coming in, it would have to die. Either that or completly change its focus, which would be the same as dying.

Make no mistake, SP lives on D&D. Without D&D, it is nothing.

 

*wonders why SP is based only on D&D games then*

*Thinks we have had this discussion before*

*Wonders what would happen if CRPGs in general disappeared*

*runs away from the scary questions*

 

Why, if there were no more D&D CRPGs?

God forbid, we might even start thinking negatively.

 

I think I agree with Chev here...

 

LOL, amusing. But seriously, I don't think that SP will last that long

 

I share agreements with Tal here. I think that if D&D or even crpgs in general disapeared, heck even if all games disapeard, which obviously they never will, we would find something to talk about and something to do here.

 

So SP will be forever in some way. Heh. But no kidding, I want to see this go on for years. Heck, some of you people made me realize, what life is.
