Slow pacing, I suppose, is a good thing. Fast-paced RPs are all rushed and never very fun to participate in. As long as things are getting accomplished.
I mean, that journey RP in-particular died because three of us were expected to make a two-part joint post and the game master put the RP on hold to wait for us. The RP's activity practically relied on us, so inevitably it died.
But anyway, do you plan on reentering the roleplaying scene here, or in-general?
