I'd say my biggest weakness during roleplaying is thinking of interesting plots. It's a problem I've always had, which is probably why almost all of the roleplays I had hosted previously ended up dying. The sad thing is, even I knew the plot was bad, and when no one showed any interest in...
I'm not too good at being descriptive, but I'd say I'm at an intermediate level. What I like to do is literally get inside my character's head, think of their personality, thoughts and beliefs, and try to imagine the way they'd react to a particular situation.
As far as the surroundings are...
Ah, just this random dude I met on a different roleplay site five years ago. He and I were in a group roleplay together (he was the GM), and oh boy, this guy excels at coming up with amazing plots. He's made quite a few roleplays after that, and every single one had something different. His...
I haven't really cried tears of sadness for any roleplay (which I do want to experience at least once), but there were two instances where I got just a little teary eyed.
1. The first season of a group roleplay I was in was coming to an end, and everyone's characters had been through a lot...
I shall take that as a compliment, thank you xD I really did think there were some hard and fast rules for faceclaim usage, but now after this discussion, it is pretty subjective.
Exactly, it seems like a lot of artworks end up being circulated amongst roleplayers, and pretty soon, the source of it is lost. Most of the times, we don't even think much of it; I might have done that myself in the past without realising it. That being said, thank you for another suggestion...
That also makes so much sense, thank you. I admit that I switch my faceclaims based on the type of roleplay I'm doing, but I generally find it creepy to search for realistic ones since I feel like I'm invading their privacy in some way or the other.
That being said, I prefer sticking to written...
That makes sense too, I'd rather talk it out with my partner and come to a compromise than either of us having to go as per the other's wishes and against their own.
I checked out random concept art images, and it's pretty impressive. Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to remember that (as well as crediting the original artist).
What can be called the most advisable or acceptable way of using faceclaims? I'm not a huge fan of searching for realistic pictures, and usually it ends up being some celebrity even though I'm not very comfortable with that. The thing is, I'm a lot better at describing the appearance of my...
I'm probably going to sound extremely petty and whiny, but I have a little list going on for this:
1. The liar with the Mary Sue
- This person made me realise just how much I hate Mary Sue characters. We had a 1x1 RP with even genders (which I think most people call doubling here), and you name...
