@Pavel I’m more of a Sam Axe kind of guy myself.

Fi for the win.

… it probably says something that my favorite characters from BN and PoI are Fi and Shaw…

…well, the human characters, from PoI. There are at least two non-human characters that trump everyone else.

My takeaway from this is that Demon is just a supernatural version of Burn Notice.

Mixed up BURN NOTICE and BURN AFTER READING, and boy, lemme tell you, that changed the meaning of this post a whole bunch

[MisterBoring]

@Rinel Burn After Reading is about a bunch of highly confused Stigmatics and their attempt at playing in the big leagues.

I’d just like to say that I was not the person who first brought up Mummies, nor am I the one making an Egypt-affiliated character.

[MisterBoring]

I made a character and then immediately got eaten by work and life nonsense and I feel bad that I haven’t really done anything beyond cg and saying hello.

[Pavel]

@MisterBoring My dude, one of my PCs has been in an async scene for a very long time because other-player had to go AWOL for a bit because life. The game’s basically built for that idea, and it’s totally okay.

[sao]

@MisterBoring don’t worry, you’ve finished cg so you’re still ahead of Jennkryst!

Game will be here when RL lets up-- I keep telling myself that too, lol

[Tez]

@sao Joke’s on you. She finished.

[MisterBoring]

I do look forward to doing sneaky super spy stuff when I finally can get free enough to even start a scene.

Look Chargen is hard enough before you hit submit and get told ‘actually we changed the rules’

and you go

‘okay, I will adjust my character to fit the new ru-’
‘actually we changed the rules again’

so it becomes easier to just… start from scratch.

This also won’t beat my record-setting Otaku stuck-in-chargen since at least 2009, on Shadowrun: Denver, so 21 days is like… nothing (but Shadowrun: Denver shenanigans is a discussion for another thread!)

@Tez @Jennkryst It was still funny and I regret nothing

[glitch]

@Jennkryst When we went with 18+, the idea was that it would be clear we were looking for adults, not barely legal catholic high school girls with a tempter agenda in demon.

But you’re right in that we changed the rules. So there’s that.

@Pavel Was it me? I feel like a half-dozen of those wound up being me…

Also. If it WAS me and I somehow missed getting back to it once the RL trying to eat me abated a touch, please throw me a few pokes. Trying to catch up as best as I can, but I know my brain. If something got lost in a swiss cheese memory hole, it’s all me and I don’t mean to have dropped things that weren’t picked back up again when they could be!

when players cannot be trusted to respect the spirit of “PCs must clearly be adults,” then sometimes revisions must be made

I never have issue with that because I tend to play older people as PCs. My character here is 49.

@MisterBoring

THIS! I was reminded this summer of how annoying younger characters are when their lacks of life experiences and therapy makes them do the dumbest things with the mistaken beliefs that they are immortal and the lacks of impulse control not to just do every ridiculous thing that pops into their minds. My twenty-two year old hot mess disaster reminded me why I /never/ app in anything/anyone under 30 if at all possible for themes and settings.

[sao]

@MisterBoring yea I’m reaching the point where even 20s feel like babies. It’s part of my real life because I’m the goddamn baby at work at 39.

I remember rping characters turning 30 like that shit was a big deal. In a word, lmao.

Honestly I don’t even know what you’d do as a naughty schoolgirl on a grid full of grownups.

We’re going to finish this omelette if it fucking kills me.

ROFLMAO! OOOOOOOF! Yeah. That was definitely mostly on me! But it’s SUCH a fun scene! Totally worth the waits, I hope. :lolsob:
