how many games?

  this may be the wrong place, couldn't real find the right Pigeon hole for it. But how many Games  can a GM run?

 I have three, that I keep active..i have seen some folks who have a Bunch? But also have  tons of deleted  games?

 I just like to know  how  many  a GM is permitted?

They start being able to open 3 games. I think I'm able to open 14, but I have more like 4. It kind of depends how long you've been here. There may be other factors, but that's all I know.

Re: how many games?

The exact algorithm is a closely guarded secret (jase hasn't even told the mods), but it seems to be based on how long you've been here, how many games you run, how many games you have deleted, duration and post counts of active games, numbers of players, etc...

Basically, the longer you stay here, the more active you are, and the more successful your games are, the more games you can run.

Re: how many games?

Click as though to start a new one, and at the top it should tell you how many more you are currently allowed.

Re: how many games?

thanks Brianna..i just want to add one more, I like to keep my games active, and I don't like  taking away from my other games. Too many GMs  start a game on a whim, then leave their  players high and dry when they get bored..all my games have been around  for a while.

Re: how many games?

Out of curiosity I checked. I can presently run 11 games. I only run 1, though it's been going for almost 2 years now. Still, WOW.

Re: how many games?

I have run 3  since I  started to GM here, I was a player most times.. I have one very active  game  and two slower moving games.

 I might  try one  more  using my 'system'..have to think it over.

Re: how many games?

Remember that number may change as you run more, though 11 or 15 on top of whatever you're already doing should be more than enough.  I'd guess, for instance, that once you start a new game, you have added into the equation a game with few posts, and that may bring the number down.  So if you do intend to run a lot of games, keep checking!

Re: how many games?

3 is good  for now.i more  switching   system to my system would be  more then enough.

Thank you, chupabob.  You have 2 games.

Wow, I am nowhere near that good of a RPOL gamer. I am only running two games, and one of them doesn't have any players yet. Shado is a lot more active of a GM than me. I must have accidentally rules-lawyered the system.

Thanks for how-to advice, Brianna!

Re: how many games?

All of my ongoings are either playtests I've just started, off the wall BESM ideas or community lounge type discussion games.

Re: how many games?

Closing this, because the original question has been answered.

For those who are counting, I am running 7, and can start another 20.
