Yeah, I just did some tallying. I've been active in nine games since last June. Two I am DMing, and seven I've played in. Out of those seven:
One finished.
Two have basically died, as they have not had posts in the last two months.
Two are stalled and on the edge of dying, but still may pull through.
And two are really just starting.
Of the two games I am DMing, one is floundering, and one is going strong.
So yeah, this is partially why I join most new games I find that catch my interest. Eventually, I'll find one that sticks for longer than a few levels.
I will say this, however. Escape from Castle Illviathar was one of the best games I've played, and it was designed as a "You come in, face monsters, and die, while trying to escape." And we all eventually died. But it was great. I'm thinking of starting a game that's similar, as that seems to lend itself well to PbP.
