G. Fried here again.
MOB:
Yep. They are (were!) called Shakers. But I doubt that, as a matter of
their relgious faith, they all actually did not have sexual feelings (though
some of them may have attained this state). Nor did they achieve
immmortality (on this side of the Great Divide, anyhoo) for their sacrifice.
John:
I thought of something else -- something which in my experience has blurred
the buffer between levels 2 and 3 in my campaign: e-gaming. I run a VERY
intermittent campaign. Months may go by between gaming sessions, since my
players live all over the US Midwest. But in the interim, I try to keep
things going by what I call e-gaming. I send the players stories about what
is going on for them. I send individual players background material
appropriate to them, and interact in e-mail privacy with individual players
who have their own singular reactions to the on-going narrative and wish to
do something on their own. Depending on the workload in RL of everyone, this
can work VERY well, giving the players a much richer feel for their
characters, since they get to react at their leisure (more or less) to a
literary depiction of the narrative, which they can then engage with --
almost always without dice-rolling.
GF out.
