We've got a lot of enthusiasm, but we're still back to some basic points - 
time and management. Put simply, I'd really, really love to be in it, but 
I've got the time to play, but not really run it anymore. What I think would 
be easier, and overall a lot more fun, is for people to create their own 
storylines, plot threads and the like, both over the short and long term, 
and let other players and characters join in over time. Setting up some sort 
of message board for people to post and propose plot idease would be very 
useful here.

I'm also wondering about the precise details of setting. Should we jump 
straight back in where things were, with the same characters? I personally 
think it would be good to go with a fresher start, advancing the world a 
couple of years and letting it change. It'll provide good hooks for 
characters new and old; the old characters adapting to a (somewhat) 
different world, while new characters can have been caught up in those 
changes and are now thrust into their heroic (player character) roles.

Well, what do you think, sirs?
