    I'd explain why I prefer Civil War but this is not the thread for it. Just know that I'm not a comic book reader and I'm not particularly loyal to either franchise so I just take their films on their own merits.

    Advice/Help Murder Mystery

    I think it can be done so long as its properly communicated and built up well. In the event of a surprise kill leading to a whodunnit scenario, Onmyoji's suggestion works. Alternatively, you could have players ready more than one character in case they still want to continue. (Just don't kill...

    Alright. Fair point on marketing. I'm just saying that I don't think it's underrated since it earned a lot and people are still talking about it until today. Lastly, I don't exactly see how my thoughts on Civil War would affect my thoughts on BvS?

    You say that but I don't recall BvS being underrated either. The marketing was massive. Trailers were playing all over convenience stores here. Giant banners and billboards on the highway. Every brand whether it's a Telcom company or a phone brand was releasing BvS themed merch. This continued...

    Literature Who are some of your fav authors?

    For me, I guess it would be Haruki Murakami and Stephen King. I like Murakami's themes and characterization and King because horror is just a genre I like. I enjoyed Kostick's Epic as well though that's the only book I've read from him. I'm not too big of a fiction reader I realize. Non-fiction...

    A waste of time. Does that mean I'll stop getting into them? Probably not. XD

    Other Horror as a role-play - How effective is it? How does it work?

    I like it as a genre but I admit, it's a bit difficult to translate the medium into a forum RP. For one, not everyone is scared of the same things. Two, it's hard to establish an atmosphere through text alone. Three, it would often require another mechanic like, exploration, mystery or sometimes...

    Other Random question of the day

    Massive file sizes. I have passed on so many great games due to this. I have the money and my desktop is pretty much capable of running most of them at high settings but I'm kind of limited by my storage.

    Viewpoint Hot take: Multi-paragraph posts are unproductive

    As someone who writes long...it depends. On my end, RPs I've joined do not measure post length in terms of word count but in paragraphs. They're often in the 3-5 range. This works well enough because there are no hard and fast rules on how many words are contained in one paragraph. It works for...

    Other Random question of the day

    I once passed by this house where a guy on drugs was raging and fuming (from the chatter, I think his wife left or something). As I passed, he suddenly snapped and went "Hey, I can see you there. I'm coming after you!" I ran like hell before he can even come out of the house. Then there was...

    Other Unpopular Opinions

    Well, seeing as this is the title of the thread: - Men are much more easily offended and emotional than women. - Gamers are the most entitled demographic to cater to. - White privilege is real. - Self-styled, brutally honest people who claim not to care about others' feelings are just as...

    Viewpoint What Roleplaying Clichés Need to die out?

    Even I admit I'm not that clever. I actually think this can be handled if those who want to play them do actual research or if they work and communicate with other players like you said. Especially in mystery games or fantasy war games. Some don't even do that which is quite annoying and it...

    Looking for Anyone else like to do RPs set in the real world?

    I also do not mind real-life settings actually. I also wish there are more stories that involve like, working, careers or even college, as opposed to the multitude of high school stuff. However, one problem I see in real-life RPs is that it tends to devolve into silos. Where people like, do...

    Viewpoint What Roleplaying Clichés Need to die out?

    You know, this entire story bugs me because I was once in an RP with someone who made a character with exactly the same backstory. Trauma congo line, learned assassination at like, 7 years old, got good at it etc. Became a top fashion designer as cover. XD I encountered a player who did this...

    Deadlines tend to be a good motivator for me. XD I work as a corporate writer so we do get deadlines and quotas. It's also hard to produce constant pieces of content every day so I still get burnt out. When I get stuck in a rut, I usually just push myself to finish an article or something even...
