    tis not, alas. At least not in the state that I would like it to be. I’ve been studying for boards, moved to a new city, and recently got a new job, my partner lost their job, then got another job – anyhow, my time has been abysmal in terms of hobbies. I had to shut down the droplets that I was using to save money, though I have the backups for them and intend to get back into it once things settle. Though I dunno, maybe it would be usable. Someone got my old evennia Cyberpunk code working and is (or at least was last I checked many months ago) running a game set in Night City in 2077, so anything is possible with the indomitable human spirit

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

    I read everything! And then a whole lot of what other people said. Sometimes I will have an animal; sometimes I will be an animal. I look for hooks and reasons to connect. I often play a very friendly character but if I don’t I make sure I’m pretty friendly ooc, and while I can be bad at this if I’m really wrapped up with someone else, I try to give them a reason to wander over to where I am or take an interest or whatev if my character wouldn’t outright invite them over. I honestly think it’s based a lot in having good social skills, I’m outgoing and proactive ic and ooc, I pay thorough attention, and I always go out of my way to match my partner’s poses in length and content. Like, the whole not leaving them dead in the water thing, I make sure theres always something they can respond to in one way or another. If I’m dropping walls of text in a public space/group scene, it’s because I’m responding to shit, not getting so wrapped up in sucking my own dick abt what a googoogaga writer i am that i actually wrote an essay abt how i took a sip from my coffee. Just as a hypothetical.

    Could you give a bit more on the tone and themes of the game, and a rough outline of the world? L&L is a pretty large genre. Dune, Bridgerton, Game of Thrones, Kushiel’s Dart, and a Court of Thorns and Roses are very different from one another.

  • Please post a playlist if you feel comfortable doing so, and if you are looking for old friends – try here! If you are looking for old enemies, consider a nap.

    @Deviant JK Rowling has claimed that she came up with the whole ‘wizard school’ idea independently of Yolen (in 1991), Pratchett (1983), Murphy (1974) and LeGuin (1968). LeGuin said that her own Roke Island wizard’s school was inspired by T.H. White having mentioned the folkloric wizard school Domdaniel in The Sword In the Stone (1938). Domdaniel is known to English speakers from One Thousand and One Arabian Nights. But Rowling says it’s coincidence, and the other authors have, wisely, not bothered to argue.
