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.’
-
@Jennkryst That’s oddly more descriptive than most descs I’ve read.
-
I’m going to stop using descs and just use ascii art of my PB.
-
I wonder if games would accept a photo of a mashed potato sculpture of my PB?

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.

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.

Constant unremitting sex jokes just make me so tired.
-

-
@Meg No because they keep it up for longer.
-

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.
-
@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.

speaking out against abusive players is difficult
-
@Artemis and if nothing happens you feel even worse. Been there a few times. But we have to do it.

I’m not saying that everyone that uses a VPN is bad or has malicious intent. I used a VPN for a while because it helped me with my MMO connection, and broadly I support the right of all people to protect their privacy online, because god knows that no one else will.
But.
Why is it that when I get the ick, like 50% of the time they are connecting via VPN?
-
@Tez Because VPNs are disposable connections and the icky individual can just swap to another VPN server or use their normal IP to reconnect and start over on a new bit, or claim their old roster bit again and start over.
I’ve been on a few games that tried to deal with that by just wide-banning entire domains and it caused multiple players who weren’t icky at all to suddenly be unable to connect.
I’m all for online privacy, but too much online privacy can protect people with bad intentions. It’s a tenuous balance at best dealing with icky folks while still being respectful of good players’ privacy.
-
@Tez Ick people ruin things for everyone

Okay, WHO SQUEALED?
j/k I don’t really think anyone said anything specifically on my behalf but someone said something because IT STOPPED!
Thank you, gentle hero.
