I'm not sure when orhow it happened. Probably somewhere in 2006, along about game season four. And probably when we found out how much we had invested in our game characters, enough for them to take on lives of their own and essentially grow beyond us.
What started as a small little rp with a handful of people, a tribute to an obscure little tv show from New Zealand called "The Tribe," took us farther than we could've imagined. "Keep The Dream Alive" was pretty much the motto of the show so it became the name of the rp.
We've gone a long way with that title. Through 3 years and a lot of different dreams and into six game seasons now with 61 members/readers/players. In '06 we even had our own mini-Tribe-gathering; rp players meeting up for the first time at Dragon*Con with some surprising results.
Players have come & gone but friendships continue to endure. Our youngest players have sorta grown up with the game. It's fun to see how much their writing & plotting skills have grown through the seasons.
We started with a little concept--a Virus wipes out all the adults leaving the kids to try and survive--and we've made our own world of it.
Ok, yeah, I'm proud of our rp. Our players have given me lots of reasons to be.
So this is sort of an early anniversary shout-out to the players and the characters and the readers and everyone who's been involved with KTDARPG. Thanks for the story. Thanks for the memories. Thanks for your friendship.
