StatCat – Not actual size
StatCat is back! Last week the clever moggy told us the top 10 busiest users on the site this year, and now he’s going to tell us which games have had the most posts.
Here’s the top games, by number of posts since January 1st 2014. Read More

Sorry for the misleading title, because it’s actually a misleading question. There should only be one main character in your game and that’s… Read More

I replayed XCOM: Enemy Unknown recently, where you recruit lifeless characters and equip them to fight aliens in a pseudo-realistic game of chess. In the game, characters are nothing more than lifeless puppets that you dress up in armour, then toss a dangerous weapon in their arms, and send them out into the battlefield. Read More

“Who is this stat cat“, you might ask?
Well he’s a feline with all the info, like a furry statistician. He’s given me a list of the most prolific roleplayers on OngoingWorlds in 2014 so far (he coughed it up onto my lap like a furball). Read More

DocAnvil roleplays in the S. S. Seiklon Axel
Not long after I published a thanks to Xexes for donating, we got another donation. Wow that was fast! This time the donation came from DocAnvil, a roleplayer from the Borderlands Star Trek roleplaying community. This is the 2nd donation since my promise to send out mugs the the next three. DocAnvil plays in the S. S. Seiklon Axel a roleplaying game set in the Star Trek universe aboard a civilian spaceship. A post by a member of Seiklon Axel was a runner-up in 2011’s Flashback week competition (read it here).
The web hosting needs to be paid for (there’s a cost breakdown here), and usually that’s something I have to do. But it’s really great when everyone else can contribute. Your donations really do help keep OngoingWorlds going.
Thanks so much to DocAnvil for the donation!

Xexes donated to our running costs, and will be sent a mug!
A few weeks ago I announced that anyone donating over $25 will be sent an OngoingWorlds mug (modelled by Ed below).
Roleplayer Xexes has done just that, so I’ll be sending him one of our special mugs. Xexes is a roleplayer and has written several articles for us which you’ll find here, and you’ll find him on RPG-D here.

This was originally posted by Steven Savage on his blog, but has allowed me to republish it here as I think it’s useful for roleplayers! This is part of Steven’s Way With Worlds series of articles. -David
You have built a world. You know it’s origins and its ecology, you know it’s people and their religion, you know technology or sorcery (or both) that they use. You have a world that is a living-breathing creation, all in your head, and your documents, and your stories.
It’s time to populate it with characters. Read More

This article was written for us by Kyle Richardson, an avid gamer and writer who enjoys finding ways to mix those passions with his latest love: mobile tech.
How do we make a leaner, greener, collaborative-friendly environment for creative writers? Let’s see how the text-based adventure does it with nonlinearity. Read More

Apologies if you’ve had a long wait for the OngoingWorlds site to come back online after our transfer to a new hosting provider. But this new move brings you an update, and one which was requested by several users.
