I find the topics brought up here interesting. The claims here are common, but they're factually quite opposite to my experience on-site. Right out of the gate, for instance, you state roleplays have always tended towards abruptly ending. Thing is, most of my games have had more of a gradual...

To answer the question of the thread: There is no lore requirement. You can genuinely start as a blank slate and go. In fact, I suggest everyone try it at least once as a writing exercise. To answer the question at the end of your post: I'm an advocate of the idea that there exists a diverse...

Let's not hijack Sleipnir's topic to argue over anxiety. Anxiety is a human emotion, sure; I would even call it part of the basic human experience. That said, for some, it is much more severe, to such degrees it may be considered a disorder. Let's not minimize those situations, but also, let's...

It's endemic to text/forum-based roleplaying. I wouldn't use the world fight because that implies you and your players are opposing forces. If you mean is a challenge, the answer is extremely conditional. In short, there are all sorts of players and all sorts of game and/or narrative...

A little stretch on the notion of "expiry date", but the Soul Eater RP I co-GM might just fit right in. As we all know, no plan survives the battlefield, and there are few literary warzones like RpN. Scheduling conflicts and differences of opinion can be the bane of many a good game. Factually...

Mixing tenses. Writing scenes that cover an extended period of time that other characters could have interacted in. Not reading the lore intended to make a game unique / immersive. Stacking an enormous amount of traits on a character, made worse by keeping them shallow instead of exploring...

This is interesting... and potentially highly prone to abuse, depending on how some of the more finite aspects of it worked.

1) What is justice to you? Justice is an idea. It can be poetic or it can come crashing down like rolling thunder. I personally like to think what is just is what is right for a situation--and we all know there is no one 'right'. 2) What is victory to you? Victory is a feeling. I would say...

I'd like to expound upon my earlier post and reply to a couple others now that I have some time. As a little preface, I really like that this curio is in the Roleplay Theory area because it really, really does tie a lot into the 'theory' that goes behind roleplaying--both as a game and a...

A character sheet, in the model I use, is a tool. A tool for players to communicate with a GM information about their character, but also a tool for GMs to use to plot or keep continuity straight. Without delving into other curios about character sheets, the simplest answer I could give would be...
