Scarab Sages

I joined a pbp some months ago, for which the GM disappeared.

Since we were enjoying ourselves (and I was using the opportunity to playtest one of the APG classes), I asked the others if they wanted to carry on, with me stepping into the GM shoes, and they said yes.

We've been going several months, and the players have remained stable throughout. We now have more posts under me GMing than the previous GM.

I feel rather odd posting in a thread named after someone else, and wonder, is it possible to alter the original title, once you're 30 pages in? Are there any practical reasons why this wouldn't work? Would the change be reflected in the current players' post history?
People who dropped out a long time ago may not be able to find the thread again, but I'm not going to lose sleep over that.

The thread in question is the one under my 'GM Snorter' alias.


We can adjust the title of threads. Can you point out which exact thread it is and what the title should be?

Scarab Sages

That was quick!

The thread in question is THIS ONE.

I've asked the remaining players, and they don't object, so I was considering something simple and informative, such as "GM Snorter runs Rise of the Runelords.".

If that renames all the pages, will it change the header in their post history, will they be able to find it again, and do I need to warn them of any upcoming change?

I also see that there appears to be a new tab in my profile for 'Campaigns', or at least it's new to me.
Should it/could it be moved to there?

Thanks for the response.


Chris,

I also have a campaign that I would like to re-assign.

Under my ID, there is a campaign: DM Papa.DRB - Kingmaker Chapter 1, that Megan Robertson has been running for quite some time. Can you change the title so it says Megan Robertson instead of DM Papa.DRB and have it show up on her ID instead of mine?

Looks like I've started a meme...sorry Chris.

Any more of you out there?

I've transfarred the campaign to your account, Snorter.

This has been done. It'll still show on your Campaigns tab under "Previous Campaigns" on your profile though.


Thank you !
