If you're railroading, just say so. I'm OK, but don't put me under the illusion that I have little to no choice in where the plot goes. Additionally, a difficulty curve is necessary to make sure your RP gets off on the right foot; not every battle needs to be a OHKO situation.

There are a few things that go into a good RP partner, but I think the first and most important is attitude. They must be into the RP as you are, which in turn becomes a desire to contribute and to forgive your imperfections. Second, I'm most-used to live RP, and so I like talking over chat in...

I'll be honest, I don't think I have the brainpower to mentally juggle more than 4 people at a given time. But that's fine, because I prefer to get to know my players, and it's easier when you have a small group. Plus, if there's only a few players, then scheduling issues are easier to work around.

Around 13-14 when I first started. My uncle introduced me to D&D 3.5, and I immediately fell in love. Been RP'ing casually ever since.

I really like the Hc Svnt Dracones universe - basically, furries in space with a pinch of Lovecraft for flavor. However, the corebook is an absolute mess of rules. Which is why whenever I want to play the game, what I'm really saying is, "Let's take the lore and combine it with literally...

Looks like you dodged a bullet leaving that game. I'd say the worst experience I had with roleplaying was with a DM who had a DMPC with basically god-tier powers, who would railroad us across the campaign. Eventually, his character gets thematically killed-off during a cutscene, and during the...

I'm really excited to roleplay tonight because I started prototyping a new system, and I'm really curious to see how it turns out. Plus, I'm playing with my wife and a new friend, so it'll be a chance for us all to bond.

The biggest no-no in writing is to not have a plot - or rather, to confuse setting up the plot for the plot itself. It's the #1 way to waste your reader's time. Of course in writing, you need to do some scene-building, but readers aren't here to observe the scene, they're here to see the...

If you're looking to emulate F&H, perhaps find some players who are also fans of F&H? This way you all understand that you're on the same page. Next I would advise to find some way of quickly generating a new character after you die, so that way you can get right back to playing. Character...

Howdy. I'm Theo. Of the played-to-completion Roleplays I've done, I'm often left with a sense of awe and wonder. "What a journey I got to be a part of!" I think to myself. But another thought quickly follows: How do I make that happen again? How does one align all the stars just right so that...

Howdy. I'm Omnitheon, but you can call me Theo. I'm a tabletop game designer and eternal DM, and I've been doing it for about 15 years now. I'm in love with the art of storytelling, and have devoted much of my life towards its study and mastery.
