Also, today marks my 1 year anniversary of playing Apothecaria, and a year of having an entry to post every single day.

(There have been several days when I forgot to actually POST the entry that I had ready to go and ended up posting it the next day along with a second entry, granted. 😅 There's a Discord where I also post and they've gotten an entry every day. The Flickr archive gets even more erratic updates than .art, fwiw)

@ljwrites Nah, they never comment on the journal sharing channels. Not sure if they look at the channels or not.

@rowyn Do you think yours is the longest-running, or do you see even longer ones? xD
Show threadRowynMar 28, 2024
@ljwrites I don't know, actually? Most people who share journals share new ones rather than folks updating about their progress on an existing one, and I don't follow the discord closely any more. (There was a bunch of AI art for a while and I just muted the server.) Pretty sure there are people who've been playing for longer and ones who've written more, tho. Apothecaria is one of the better-known/more popular solo RPGs.

@rowyn It's awesome that people keep up playing for so long, this is like those multi-year campaigns of legend but solo :D
Show threadRowynMar 28, 2024
@ljwrites I used to run multi-year campaigns, way back in the day, but those were not as consistent as my Apothecaria game. :D
Show threadAuthor-ized L.J.Mar 28, 2024
@rowyn Yeah understandably! I think the longest campaign I ran was for a year and a half.
Show threadRowynMar 28, 2024

@ljwrites I only vaguely know how long my multi-year campaigns went. There was a shared-GM superhero setting that I played in college and for a year or so after graduation, that was probably involved with for 4 years (but that started before me and continued after me with other GMs).

Another shared-GM setting was Sinai, which, omigosh, is so well-documented that I can see how long I was involved with it--2 years. http://sinai.webconnections.net/library.php?gmthread=Rowan . Also ran long before/after me--at least 13 years.

@ljwrites And then Mirari, which ran for about 2 years with me and a co-GM, @Tuftears, and an assistant GM, Greywolf.

And a few games after that -- the Just Trust Me game, A Game of October, and a World Tree game, that each lasted like 1 to 3 years, I think.
