- the number of methods in which a person can be tortured mentally and physically - a how to on mafias and their structural mechanics - the history of the yakuza - lovecraftian lore and some of the deities whose names I neither can spell or remember except for Cthulhu for some reason - 50 Shades...

When you have someone who complains about their character not getting any attention, but their characters hardly interact much with the rest of the player cast so its fair to understand why no one else in the group mentions them much in ooc. When you also have someone who attacks someone else's...

We've all probably seen this or done this before. Character's that just kinda make you cringe, or squint with skepticism as you're reading through their cs sheet. Whether here or on other sites. I sure as heck have done this at times and been corrected by others to tone things down and I'm sure...

One things I've learned from rping is if you want a character that fits the tragedy genre to be well liked and not stapled a dramatic self-insert, edgelord or Mary sue (which honestly is sort of a loose term that can vary in its use excluding critique cuz it honestly isn't critique at all)-- is...

Probably not entirely relevant since this doesn't really relate to rping as a starter but-- Once on the history channel I watched a story about a 80 something yr old man getting with a 20-something yr old. This was back in the 50s or 40s if I recall it right. Needless to say, my fam and I...

When the character backstory just makes everything else look bad or certain aspects of a character just frankly does not properly fit the setting despite minor adjustments to make the unrealistic work (and said person does not seem willing to change that also). Ex: you come from a species that...

@Idea I'm a good couple months late to this convo but this was very interesting to read. I've seen a mixed variety of stuff from these three mindsets on my own time in rpn, specially when I first joined and started rping here. Gotta say, really liked the thought you put into this

I gotta say I've found a lot of what's been said pretty interesting here. In fact I'll lay out a problem I've actual faced in rps I've been in. An RP I am playing as active GM over, has lost like one person either due to life or something else. And as @Swarx said in his example, the introduction...

So because I surf the web and randomly came upon a discussion that was off tangent to the OP's point, I thought I'd make a thread and see what other peoples thoughts are on this matter: What in your vision, makes a GM or even a Co-GM for that matter,  good? And for precaution, let's try to...

Personally, I like to think I'm "Okay". I'm confident in my writing, have been told in the past that I'm decent or average -just my punctuation which I have been trying to fix over the years- but I try not be conceited or overconfident about it because there are times where I usually wonder if...
