Would it help if I promise to periodically nag you? :-)
Oh, and BTW, about this part:
There are some clear flaws in this idea. The first is that it assumes that everyone wants to be engaged and involved in the setting and the plot. Some people game just to roll dice and kill monsters, and get annoyed when the other stuff gets in the way.
That, as far as I'm concerned, is a feature than a bug. Any approach to gaming that screens out the bad hack'n'slash gamers from the start seems to me more likely to result in an enjoyable game.
