And so completely out-there. It had been beaten into everyone's head that demons were the main antagonists. The species in question had a demon as a very ancient ancestor, and through this, they were the most sensitive to harbingers of said demon's return. To play one of these descendents, one...
The ish was that the player I mention above seemed to want me to redo a huge piece of the heavily-documented lore and also break rules that had already been set forth. On top of that, she wanted some things that I had already said no on to other people. It's still important to respect a...
OMG, this has happened to me a few times. I had someone completely blow past where I said that a given species was not okay as a starting character due to the species' complexity and amount of lore. She 1. chose a character image that was way, way inappropriate for the species, gave them all...
I do have a group game starting off. It's fantasy, though more of a Game of Thrones gritty feel than something like Lord of the Rings. I'm kind of knocking around the idea of leaving it open to people under 18, though it might be a little more harsh than many people like.
I confess to having ghosted someone recently. It's not something I usually do, and I did it because I was just not comfortable with what was happening. I was also concerned that I would wind up getting guilt-tripped or otherwise face passive aggression. I had voiced my worries and nothing really...
Although I will not RP with minors, I absolutely love to help them develop their skill as writers, and I am always around if someone wants feedback and useful constructive criticism. I am a pretty soft place to land with critique. I want to build up, not punch down.
I want folks to be able to play, definitely. I don't necessarily agree that people should be turned down for asking when it's such a hard limit. If I found out a partner was underage, I actually would feel pretty violated.
I have been looking for literal years for a Game of Thrones AU. It doesn't break the lore as it extends into things one sees in World of Ice and Fire, and it is designed to use only compatible concepts to the world of Planetos at large. And I still have gotten a bunch of crap for it, because...
That one line stalled the chat room. No one quite knew what to do. I found out later that two people were in tears. But then... there had been a lot leading up to the death of that character, too, though.
I use whatever is needed for the scene, whether it be in a book I am writing or in RP. Hell, even post length has no meaning in soe cases. One of the most impactful posts in an RP I was in, was this.
He stepped out of the room, ashen, beads of sweat glinting on his brow. "She's dead," he said.
Yup, in all things, moderation. And RP is a little unusual in that it does require some 'tell' in the form of things like bios and character descriptions.
