yesterday, I got an offer from a job I’ve been interviewing for since the beginning of August

Peeve. I’m feeling left behind by this hobby. I’m discouraged that it feels like in order to play on any of the games where my friends play, I’d have to compromise my comfort and place my trust in people who… I haven’t experienced being all that cool. And I think I feel it even more because for a minute, I had a relatively active little rp bubble before folks moved on to the next thing.

I’m just going to be real with you all. I put in a request letting them know I felt awkward about the gods being white, and my non-white noble house worshipping a white patron god. And you know what? They were like, ‘good lookin out, this is on our list of things to review.’ And it made me feel immediately more comfortable.

I don’t think this beef in the comments is in the spirit of the game runners.

Man, I miss fighting with higher class reductive trolls like Derp who actually had the substantive background to make these arguments for real.

shut your foul mouth

Mention porn. Reading your char getting talked about in the logs of other folks. Love.

@bear_necessities might have to rewatch everything she’s ever done this weekend

@Yam A maximum word count limit for written backgrounds is the way to go. It’s great that you wrote that novel. Please send the link and I will consider purchasing. Summarize who your character is in a reasonable way.

Unrelated to the above opinion, I don’t think Arx should be our metric for OC apps. This is not intended as a critique. There are some things that game runners will be interested in policing, and some things that they aren’t.

i grabbed t’mas off the roster. he looked fun. anyone who wants to play adjacent to me, hmu. (as a child?? or a wingrider?)

One of his kids IS on the roster.

@catzilla I think the recent banning post indicates the general community stance on that.

@Meg said in Discussion: On Dragon Wings:

I had a whole game concept based around that once, but since I lack follow through-- It’s cool to see someone else doing it too.

Was that the matrilineal thing? I remember that concept and still think it would be really cool.

@hellfrog I’m glad it was just a misunderstanding. And for clarification, we are fighting the dragons.

@hellfrog said in Discussion: On Dragon Wings:

dragon riders but instead of being cool and fighting each other they are kind of like lawnmowers burning caustic braum hair out of the atmosphere iirc and also if the dragons have sex their riders have sex

Not sure why I caught these strays in 2026 but I’ll just be in my lane having fun, dude.

Kizraeth clutches in late January; Coraneth in early March. That leaves plenty of time to establish a Candidate character and build up a bit of a story arch leading up to trying to impress a dragon of your very own. If you’re not confident on theme, imo going this route can be a smoother introduction.

Current plot threads involve the development of rival factions of dragonriders (PVE).
