16 is nothing. In LotR, I spawned 56 on the first turn.

Just out of curiosity, roughly what proportion of the 56 were active after 10 turns?

I was very interested to see how you allocated the avatars, although I hope whatever process Zim uses, it does not take 7 days for players to finish it. I am itching to start writing a story...

Each player got a choice of RBGs (after the first batch, players got to pick from three), so there were plenty left over.

I'd say that there were around 20 initial stories introducing all of the avatars in the game's opening days.

And then there was Bart...

About every scenario I devised as his backstory was already posted when I finally got him. In the end I finally figured a backstory for him but never wrote, let alone posted it...

56 were spawned because there were 4 family members, thus 60 total avatars, which was double the number of players we had (30 players at start). We then went through a lottery, with priority given based on participation in the previous game (KotR) and in the test game that preceded LotR (this is what we did for avatar priority in KotR, so it was just continuing the tradition). First person on the list got their pick of any avatar, family member or RBG, on the list. When they were done, their chosen avatar was removed, and the second person picked. Rinse and repeat until all 30 players had chosen, at which point all extra RBGs were killed off to bring the avatars back down to 30. It actually worked pretty well and didn't take very long at all.

That was a very good system and something I'd recommend Zim do again this time.

I been convinced to give this a shot, so I apologise for any n00bness in advance (blame TheFlax).

Beskar is guilty, I can tell...

I am sorry YLC, but I am going to decline your hunting trips if you invite me along, alone. I have a feeling some one will get shot and it won't be you or a deer.

I'm still resisting the temptation to join this one.

When does it start?
