I don't know how many people are even still watching this forum, but maybe a couple of you might be interested in my ongoing LP of Stars in Shadow on the Something Awful forums. If anybody takes a look, I'd be thrilled to hear about it- knowing people are actually reading what I'm doing is always gratifying.

Not my cup of tea. Something awful?

It's a dumb site name, but it has a big Let's Play subforum and did so back when I first decided to get into LPing. I'm fairly out of sync with the general Something Awful site 'culture', but so it goes.

Hi, nweismuller! Glanced at LP, unexpectedly encountered pretty detailed piece with lots of screenshots and in-character writing. So will dive in it later, without rush and in appropriate mood. Thank you for the effort!

I'd be curious to hear your reactions once you get a real chance to look it over. (For that matter, what did you expect, heh?)

I really like the combination of in-character explainations for the various situations and decisions, followed by the OOC details for what and why.
The growing unease and outright exasperation of finding they're surrounded by a collection of what seems to be the galaxy's most troubled people is very easy to imagine being an actual Phidi response.

And some of the participation comments are pure Opil.

"The surface: Not even once!"

Love the culture of LPs on Something Awful. This one is great.

I read it.Good.I like AAR's.

Great AAR! Didn't finished it yet, but like very much so far. Most adorable are detailed lore explanations for those not familiar with SiS. This is in contrast with some AARs by other authors, consisting of dry "did this"-"ordered that".

Playing these games as a story is what I tend to do.Just meta gaming for the win is not fun for me.I will actually help in alliances etc.

OK, that took stupidly long, but hopefully I'll be quicker with the next one- a new major update here:

Actually, you know, if people want to place votes here in the absence of a Something Awful account, I'll tally those as well. I hope people appreciate the LP.
