    Serves me right for seeing what would happen if I lifted the registration freeze.

    We have a few people looking to play Impression on-camera, so we’ll be running a hatching in August, with events kicking off in earnest on the 29th of June.

    It’s a good time to join if you’ve ever wanted to play Candidacy, Impression and weyrlinghood as a character arc. Our “process” is low-key, so you won’t need to write an app or jump through any hoops. Just create a character, sign up to Impress, and go about your regular RP.

    We also have a few big story moments coming up in July, so it’s a good time to join if you’ve ever wanted to play Pern regardless of Candidacy.

  • Conversations and questions about current, upcoming, and advertised games and the hobby as a whole.

    It doesn’t come up because the impact is minimal. There’s no likelihood of confusion that it’s an authorized licensure and no one is making money on it. People who make money using their likeness know - assuming they know or care that online RP exists - that it does not cost them anything for their face to be used in this fashion because it is not an area of business that it would earn them any money. Essentially, is it morally correct to “steal” someone’s face for this purpose? Probably not, but also who cares? What harm exists here?

    Basically if you want to use AI PBs go ahead, but this idea that it is somehow morally superior because no real people are involved is disingenuous. The only choices that are free of contention are drawing your own shit, paying to commission an artist to draw your own shit, or not using an image at all and just writing descriptions in this writing hobby. Otherwise we are all making choices that have points of compromise.

    @sao said in “All the World’s a MUSH”: Genre as Destiny in Collaborative Roleplay Behaviour:

    @dvoraen the part where you had to acknowledge how many years you have been in this hobby

    “Yes.”

    Next question.

    @ten You can tell my em dashes are legit because I always use them — incorrectly.

    @Testament But is the D&D related to the setting of Seven Nations?!
