I'd be down. Because I was in the last one and I can't recommend it enough for anyone who is thinking of dipping their toes into 'Nation Builders' or who has ever wanted to try something new to give a Beck Rp a chance! They're a lot of fun.
I think one of the best things to do is reach out to the GM and share ideas. They will likely have a better grasp on the world and so be the 'first line' when it comes to balancing. In my experience, Nation Builder GMs love to talk shop especially if its to help someone build their nation or...
Roleplaying real people or canon characters. Not usually something I'm interested in. Canon characters I can do if its more like.. a satire 'wink wink, nudge nudge' but even that is something I don't really enjoy doing. I wanna write my own characters and trying to constantly study how another...
I don't mind slurs in historical roleplays depending on context. Context in how a word is used and why matters to me and I believe is far more important then the word itself. Is it being used to create the environment/society that the characters are in? Is it being used to flesh out a character...
@nerdy tangents One of my favorite homosexual historical figures is Fredrick the Great [Of Prussia]. Granted, he did spend a lot of effort hiding it because of culture, but he is a really interesting figure. Then there was the standard post-'no he totally wasn't gay' spiel because heaven forbid...
Something something came from different lands, something something only married people from their homeland something something started to keep it in the family something something Ptolemy Dynasty.
Yeah, it is silly how far people will go to avoid somethings or what stretches they will go to...
1) What is justice to you?
Hard to say. I know some would say Justice is the rules created by our civilization, cultures and society, but those rules are often used in ways they weren't intended [The Letter vs the Spirit], and even then the 'spirit' is not the same to everyone. So on a personal...
That is incorrect.
For instance, there was a case where they used an image that was previously used for a magazine for a novel. The publisher [the one who actually had the rights to it] did not give permission and sued. They won the case for using it on the novel because it was using it in a...
That's not what transformative means. Transformative doesn't mean you throw a Microsoft Paint mustache onto something and now it's something 'new'. It's not using artblender and meshing them together.
When you take an artwork you found online and apply it to a character, you are transforming...
Caravan.
Working on making an RP now, no idea when I'll post it, about dark, low-fantasy world taking place after a cataclysmic event ravaged the land and the RP isn't about saving the world, or doing some crazy stuff, it's just about them on a caravan, on the world's version of the Silk Road...
@bastion What an odd way to say that. Is this some odd appeal to popularity where 'Everyone' agrees with you and I am some mad outlander who is raving lunacy? Cause... That feels very shady.
Now, I respect your opinions, and I respect you as a person, but that was an odd way to say that...
Transformative works do not start and end with popularity. Something being popular, or not, is not the sign that you are now free to steal from them.
You do not get to claim it's okay to steal from them because they have money but not okay to steal from someone else because they have less...
The comparison is accurate. There are only two actual reasons you do not believe so, Personal Bias and Cognitive Dissonance. Personal Bias in favor of the 'indie artist' because either you are one, know one and are friends with one or are simply more likely to be attached to a single being...
@nerdy tangents I don't get to break into my neighbors house and take their TV just because they make more money then I do and so are less likely to be as bothered by it. Using the picture that someone made that 4-6 random people on the internet in the RP with me are going to see isn't going to...
It falls into that grey area just like everything else does. I find it no worse then using the faces of models and celebrities without their consent or stealing intellectual properties (IPs) to use as roleplays without the permission of the creators.
When you make a pokemon roleplay, you are...
Beauty and the Beast Fairytale : An arrogant man falls in love with a nerdy bookworm
Beauty and the Beast Grounded : A nerdy girl tries to change an abusive man through a romantic relationship
Neither one of those is more realistic then the other. In fact, I've seen more of the Fairytale one of...
Then write that. Write that fear and panic, how the gun jolts them with its sound and its buck, that unfamiliar weight, how they clench their finger and it locks in panic as it fires round after round. If this is a major moment for the character, you can very easily use it to show their...
Depends on the context. If it's a soldier firing down a hallway? Sure. If it's a terrified person in the middle of a horrid situation about to do something they've never done before, that could change their life forever? That moment is going to stick with them. It is going to define them...
