According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly.
Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground.
The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don’t care what humans think is impossible.
Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black.
Ooh, black and yellow!
Let’s shake it up a little.
Barry! Breakfast is ready…
I’ve thought up a new pacing style:
Tedium game pacing. The MU will be connected to a generic incremental idle game (like Cookie Clicker), and each player will be given a number of pose tokens. Each pose will cost a number of tokens based on length, and if you run out of tokens, you must play the idle game to generate more tokens, which can also be spent to make the idle game work faster. Scenes will progress at a speed decided by the various players progression in the idle game generating the tokens.
@catzilla Where does interrupting a totally innocent demon while he is trying to enjoy his succulent Chinese meal in the comfort of his penthouse apartment come on your scale?
Been painting a lot of minis since Feb of last year. Got done with this one recently and thought I would share as these are dark times and I hope all of you are hanging in there.
Also hope folks have been enjoying RP! I find my brain not wanting to write as much these days. I should change that some time soon.
@catzilla said in RP Safari - Pacing Styles:
All Bar RP is social RP but not all social RP is Bar RP.
I still want to make a game with a single IC grid square: The Bar.
All RP is Bar RP. The only plot is The Bar.
To me, Bar RP is “let’s just throw our characters somewhere and socialize about whatever”.
Social RP can be Bar RP but it can also be picking up a scene with these intentions:
The difference is intent. “Let’s just see what happens” vs “Let’s have our characters gossip about NPC X.”
All Bar RP is social RP but not all social RP is Bar RP. 
I’m partway through the Inevitable Ruin right now. I’ve got to drive across the state for work in a couple weeks and am a little worried I am going to run out of books before the next one comes out.
I’ve been listening to the audio books myself the past month!
Endlessly impressed with the one-man-show that the narrator is capable of putting on. I think it does sag occasionally (The Iron Tangle comes to mind), but it’s been such a different tone to my previous binge of the Cosmere that I’m all in on the dark comedy romp that it is.
God damn it, Donut.
I tend to be okay with “just talking” social RP if the characters involved are engaging enough. When I think of BaRP, I tend to think of more “primarily talking” social scenes. If that’s all I had access too would be sad after awhile though.
I think for some (maybe most?) people that may also include what I would count as more actiony type of social RP (playing a game/researching/building something) but I think that’s because I kind of like rolling dice too. I would put using abilities or little one-shot exploration stuff that isn’t really GMed and isn’t tied to a metaplot thing as mostly social too. But I can be perfectly happy with that for a long time. I’m not sure if that counts as slice of life (it certainly could, depending on the context!) or not. And then for some people dice rolling breaks immersion if it’s not important enough or it really stresses them out OOCly, or it is totally possible for someone to be a colossal showboating ass with dice rolls OOC too which isn’t super fun except to them).
