If all the players are only interacting with each other and there's no story progress, I really shouldn't be here. I rejected a player already because they seemed to be more interested in creating, well... a character designed to interact mainly with herself and the other players, and now I'm feeling a bit silly because it looks like that's what the plot became. Maybe I should have been more careful, or maybe this is just what everyone wants.
So, unless I'm reading this wrong, I'd like to look for someone else to take over GMing the Ryujo, and I'll help you get started. If I am reading this wrong, then we could try focusing more on the... plot... instead of all the fun you're having, which essentially describes why I don't think I should be GMing here. I'm pretty sure I described the Ryujo as an investigation plot rather than a squaddie drama, not that there's anything wrong with that, etc., etc.. I'm giving you the head-up because the sneaky, 'have someone with a gun jump into the room' method of getting the plot moving again is terribly overplayed.
