    Viewpoint Why can't RPs seem to get Eldritch Horror/Cosmic Horror/Lovecraftian Horror right

    I would point out that the nature of an RP and the nature of the mythos are inhernetly at a contradiction. Which is a lack of agency. Being so small, so insignificant so powerless, works much better in a story where the reader is powerless, they are just along for the ride, they can't change...

    Experiences Whats making you angry today? Rp pet peeves

    You have 1k word minimum posts someone else asks you. "Do you want ham or turkey on your sandwich" *Not writing 1k words on sandwich choice* *Ghost RP instead*

    Viewpoint What you cannot stand in characters?

    What I hate most is sheets that have traits that are redundant, contradictory, or so generic to be meaningless. "Introverted extrovert" "Will do anything for their friends" "Lithe but curvy" "Bookish but worldly"

    Experiences The exact opposite of Mary Sue.

    Every game I run, has a test for all PCs. It is called the sand-which test. If the PC can not go to the store and buy a sand-which they are banned. This is because many dice systems allow you to take disadvantages for bonus points, and players will do so, taking every single disadvantage...

    It worse because it isn't even an accurate view of sociopaths, people with ant social personality disorder, DO care about people, they also tend to be more rash, angry and impulsive than the typical "Nothing phases me, I'm a sociopath, I can murder you without blinking" and ontop of that some of...

    When someone does a bunch of BB Code and by the end of it the box their text is in is 10% of the space of their post. So now I'm squinting and can't even scroll to read on my phone if I'm out an about. It's just an annoying mess. Like cool, nice presentation is cool, and some Code is cool...

    Deal Breakers. What makes you "walk" away?

    Let me go down some deal breakers. 1) Smaller than default fonts. Look I may be reading on a laptop, large TV or phone. If I have to squint I'm out. 2) "OwO" or any variation of it. I'm not 13, I really don't want text language and "Meme chat". Maybe someone who speaks like that can write...

    Deal Breakers. What makes you "walk" away?

    Saw a lot of talk about face claims. Against the grain here but I dislike using real people. Mostly because I saw a game about soliders and one of the images was from a news paper report of how they had died in combat. Now they just used google image search and didn't know this. It did make...

    Advice/Help D&D help?

    Honestly, don't go of 2nd edition. Pathfinder has a discord, where you can probably find a game. It also has all the material online for free. Like I would honestly start with 5th (its the most simplistic of the acceptable systems) and it is also mostly online as well.
