I wish someone would do it... okay...

I wish I could finish the previous one.

You could conduct an expedition, with the final plot twist being that everything that happened was a dream of the bored Scipio.

The bored Sonata and the fact that there were no arteries or rins.

Am I supposed to host again? I don't even have a setting chosen.

Too good to be true...

Reisen, bored in the palace, and in fact, the entire story from the moment he was imprisoned there, is a lie.

Am I supposed to be the one leading again?

Hmm, in theory, my slightly improved mental abilities, some experience from previous expansions, and the high probability that I'll have some free time almost every day for the next few months give me a chance to run a game and do it better than last time. On the other hand, my mental state has been becoming less stable in recent months, so I clearly don't embody the ideal of a good GM, and I can't confidently say: "The expansion will happen, it will be well-developed and long, I won't make players wait for answers for two hours or suddenly disappear, and I will finish it only when all players want it to end."
But if everyone needs an expansion, and there's no one to make it – I'm ready to take on the role.

my mental state is becoming increasingly unstable

So, this is an example of good Game Mastering.

That's what GMing is all about.

True.

First time Alex. I'm ready to play for some time, and let everything freeze. Or I'll just rage quit before it even freezes.

"There will be an expansion, it will be well-developed and lengthy, I won't make people wait for an answer for two hours or suddenly disappear into the astral plane, and I won't finish it before all players want it to" -- of course, I won't be able to do that.

And that's not very realistic in general. The only role-playing game, as far as I remember, that reached a logical conclusion (without forcing or anything else) was divided into modules (which were themselves divided into sessions) and was run by a GM for five years. Trying to conduct a long expedition in one go is exhausting. Either you need to break a long storyline into chapters, or make the storylines themselves shorter.

But if everyone needs an expansion, and there's no one to make it -- I'm ready to take the post.

I probably wouldn't mind playing either. I myself had ideas for running games, but I doubt I'll find the strength or time. And I would run it on Discord anyway, not here. So, go for it. If you need any advice on mechanics, feel free to ask.

I agree with this suggestion (and it was pleasant back then, we had a good time drinking sbiten).

Okay. I'll go work on the settlement now. It should be done within a month. If I'm lucky, it'll be ready much sooner, but today I first hit myself in the head with an axe a few times, and then spent several hours staring blankly at the table. All of this makes it a little difficult to be productive.

Alex, I have an important question for you. Will your expansion include skills for niches?
