  Welcome to the portal and our constant pain.
  We all face the battle of getting the players involved. So at the very least know that you are not alone in your endeavor to get them to get involved. Look around im sure you will find some ideas to help you out.

  Thanks for the greetings, and thank you killervp for the link to that thread. By the way, I checked out your campaign, and it looks like a lot of fun. I've never played a campaign with a serious amount of levity in it, my setting is a pretty grim place, but it looks pretty sweet.

  I like making, and incidentally tasting, Long Island Iced Tea. That's the 5 whites (white tequila, white rum, gin, vodka, triple sec), house sour and a splash of cola. If it's well made (and I make them good), you're looking at a 3 ounce 40% drink that tastes like lemonade. A drink that's a little more complicated to make, but always gets rave reviews, is my variation of the Fashionista martini.

  Hey there Turncoat, welcome to the Portal. You know, I could really go for a good Sazerac right about now. I love my whiskey and generally drink it straight, but I'm a sucker for a good Rye mixed drink every now and again. Sadly, having just moved to New Zealand I've come to discover that prices on alcohol here are criminal! Anyway, nuf' about that. Glad to see a new face here at the Portal, I think you'll find this the community here to be pretty special.
  
  Cheers,

  Welcome to OP, Turncoat!
  
  I like a good Screaming Viking - make sure the cucumber is bruised slightly.

  Welcome to OP, I think as your players get to see more and more of what OP has to offer it will become easier to get them involved. Still player involvement is the biggest curse we all suffer. It can be difficult. I added huge player incentives for posting on OP and that seems to be working well.
  
  Whatever you do on OP, I hope you have fun. Goodluck and if you need help just ask. Many of us are willing to answer questions and share out insights.

  Hi Turncoat and welcome to the Portal.
  
  I echo what many others said in terms of player involvement but hope you manage to get THE MAX!
  As for Long Island Iced Tea, well I just about lived on that stuff when I stayed in Taiwan. Nowadays I am more restrained and tend to stick to simple whisky or a nice frothy glass of beer.

  Is it criminal that the extent of my mixed drinks tends to be rum and coke or gin and tonic (heavy on the lime)? Anyway, welcome. as one of the active players that helped with all the worldbuilding and design for my campaign, it's tough having people only be involved at the table.
  
  Best of luck to you.
