Ya’ll need descs for folks using screen readers.

As with the entire char app process, it can also be a great early warning that someone is fucking crazy.

@Aria Anyone that uses ‘luminescent lavender orbs’ as a descriptor for eyes has Main Character Syndrome and you can’t tell me otherwise.

[Artemis]

@helvetica Thank you. I checked out one game where characters were not required/encouraged to have descs, just pbs, and I was like …um I guess I’ll see myself out.

[Cornpopped]

@Testament One day I will create an alt that has moldy blue cheese ball eyes. ONE DAY.

Yeah, I started in the pre-PB days and frankly, I have an easier time cranking out descs than I do finding PBs and collecting/tweaking pics, etc. No disrespect to people who feel the opposite.

@Testament

And if they are - in the right circumstances - is that a bad thing?

[Testament]

@ten If I wanted to be a main character, I’d play a video game. I’m here for collaboration, and I don’t view that as collaboration.

Weirdly I can’t wrap my head around PBs or descs. I’m terrible at writing character or build descs, and don’t actually like using PBs either, so I end up with characters that are something along the lines of:

Bob has short black hair and usually wears a t-shirt and jeans.

Which is about as descriptive as:

A snickerdoodle is a cookie.

The most hilarious part of this is that I can write flowing descriptions of action without issue.

@MisterBoring On TR and maybe also Fallcoast I forget, my long-standing @desc was ‘A hoopy froodette who knows where her towel is, and whose general appearance and clothing change as needed for the situation.’

[Testament]

@Jennkryst That’s oddly more descriptive than most descs I’ve read.

[Pavel]

I’m going to stop using descs and just use ascii art of my PB.

[MisterBoring]

I wonder if games would accept a photo of a mashed potato sculpture of my PB?

[Nynrose]

With much of the cancer stuff behind me, except for one lingering surgery that I still need to have, I want to help tell stories. . . but I am not playing anywhere to help tell stories because I haven’t had the energy to play games for the last 6 months. Blargh.

I miss GMing.

[Testament]

Really enjoying the new MU I was able to join and start playing again. A very welcoming and enjoyable environment.

But it really sucks that I have to live on async scenes due to my job. Feel like I’m missing every relevant plot thread to get involved in because I can only check in a couple times a day.

It makes me wonder why I got back involved in RPing again. It’s definitely a ‘my life’ kind of issue. But I also just kind of sigh.

[Snackness]

Constant unremitting sex jokes just make me so tired.

[Meg]

@Snackness do they make you as tired as my penis. budamcha.

[Snackness]

@Meg No because they keep it up for longer.

[Meg]

@Snackness hey, i come and go quickly. that’s what they in the business call efficient.

It is a rare talent to be able to be horny on main, but also not annoy people with it.

Do I have that talent? I dunno, I try to be tasteful with my lewds, but also probably mess things up trying to be funny.

[MisterBoring]

@Testament My inability to enjoy async is the primary reason I’m not playing much of anything outside of in person tabletop groups once or twice a month. I can kind of sympathize with your frustration.
