So, this started out a bit complex with a lot of skill checks and little direction on where/what the players should do. I think that must have been a major hurdle in keeping the steam going for this, aside from my diminishing time since starting Grad school.
Is anyone still interested in playing a 5E game? I could continue with the current scenario or start fresh if need be. If we restarted, I'm not sure if I'd keep the same basic plot I was planning on using, though since we didn't really touch it, it would depend largely on the players involved. Anyone would be free to keep their characters or start anew.
It might be a slow process, though, and updates still wouldn't be overly frequent, but I could keep the game going with enough player interest.
