We all talk about OP stuff.

Honestly, making OP characters is pretty fun, especially if they're OP in a clever way.

Yup! Exploiting sigilmancer was the best~ Can't believe I saw the potential in it before Shineko did XD

Thank god I found my old Equipment loadout for Alistair....GOD that would have been difficult to re-type it XD

I don't see the fun in destroying the plot/tension, but I guess I''m old fashion in that sense

Yeah, while making a powerful character is fun, it's not as fun to RP with an OP character since nothing can pose a challenge to them.

To create tension you fight fire with fire. As long as you have a clever GM or clever people supporting them, it's pretty easy to create a villain that also bends the system, making the RP a battle of wits - the best kind of battle.

*Is not that clever but tries his best to be* XD
That Lass Over There

Well, first step of being clever was you learned from me and Shineko and made a big boss that was the system we tried so hard to bend. I think that's a major step in the right direction

I'm confused...
So your choice is to give your GM extra work so that your character can be a little broken in hopes that the GM will make something even more broken, effectively taking the whole point of a broken character away?

A battle of wits should be back and forth, not a race to see who lands the almighty blow first.
Just what I think, anyway.

The boss battle would have been perfect too if it weren't for those meddling kids...

In my opinion, as long as everyone involved is having fun, it's not extra work. I know that every time I GM I look forward to characters that push boundaries, make me think beyond a plot I had preset. I know Alistair has fun, at least, he spent forever trying to work out sigilmancer and nerf it XD
Well, it's not like that overskill was Rahl's thing. In fact, he could have achieved almost the same effect with hard work and lots of study in runes. Even then, his gear was built to complement multiple strategies, and everything was hand crafted for him because he had worked hard for it. On top of that, he was clever and made it very clear that he didn't need violence, he could think. Many characters were like that, and many others were the also enjoyable, simple "I'm here to bonk heads and be fun." Maybe it's just better that you see it work out, when the RP starts?
...I'm very sorry. I will (not) reflect deeply on my actions.

Nah it wasn't you or anyone in particular, just the old roleplay itself died out when people kept leaving.

I still feel bad though, since I wasn't posting in the IC for the last stretch, barely even active in the OOC. I was going through a bit of depression that the RP was falling apart and couldn't really bring myself to post while it withered.

Ok... Maybe that's how you do things here. I'm kinda still new to RPN, sorry about my noobness...

So, when is the RP going to start?
Ginko The Mushishi
Traveling Mushi-Shi
OI! NO APOLOGIES. You are fine, and no there is no noobness, I've been roleplaying since I was like 10, I've experienced many different formats from different GM's. It's good to have a a broader examination of other GM's and the way they roleplay! Just enjoy yourself is all.
That Lass Over There
Constant Panic
No, you're fine. Rather, you're in an awkward position since you're the only player we have other than Baam that's new to the group.

Sometime tomorrow, there is still one more person who needs to post a character. They are a little shy so I will not disclose their information until they post their character.

Jinx on the "You're fine"

Shineko shy? That's a new one.
