View From the Bushes

My Midnight Play by Post (PbP) campaign is finally starting to pick up steam. The players are getting into it, I'm starting to hit my stride, things are going well, everything's clicking, the praise is starting to pour in, my players love me and all is right with the world. Or at least it was: now everything is angry confused madness.

I had chased the players into a ruined inn. I thought I had described it in pretty clear detail. It had two floors. The top floor had six rooms, each of which I described. The bottom floor had two rooms: a common room and a kitchen. It seemed pretty straightforward, but once it came time for them to move around in the inn, everything came apart. Some people thought they were downstairs when they were upstairs, other people thought that there was a door in one room when the door was actually in another room. They wanted to stay awake and I didn't let them. In short, I screwed up.

What's somewhat interesting is that I had made a point of asking for feedback when I posted the last turn, and even said that as someone who was getting used to the medium that I'm sure I was making lots of mistakes. Never were truer words spoken.
