[@ImportantNobody] Before I respond to your replies, I should also point out that have no respect for the insinuation I'm getting from certain comments that anyone who doesn't enjoy writing reactions to dice rolls is somehow less 'creative' or 'experienced' than someone who likes to leave things outside of their control like that -- creative writing is by its very nature limited when something controls it. Few authors that are worth paying heed to actually enjoy it when the editor butts in and tries to censor their imagination -- to me dice are just meddling executives. [quote=ImportantNobody] There's this one famous fanfiction of harry potter where they're all goths and Dumbledore curses Harry out or whatever. Pretty hilarious if you ask me. XD Do you hate 4th wall breaking characters like Deadpool? [/quote] Lol, that sounds painful. xD As for your question about Deadpool and fourth wall breaking, I'm very hit and miss about it -- I don't particularly like Deadpool (I wouldn't say I [i]hate[/i] him -- I just don't get the hype and I'm not a fan), but it's more for [i]other[/i] reasons. Disgaea constantly breaks the fourth wall and is actually somewhat entertaining for it, and one of my favourite JRPGs of all time - the original Shadow Hearts - has a few moments of fourth wall breaking despite it being a very dark and serious story for the most part. It's not something I'd do in my own writing much, but it [i]can[/i] work, especially in parody. [quote=ImportantNobody] I could come up with another rule for my dice roll and say that if they get a bad luck roll, they get bonuses to future rolls for a bit to make sure they can't keep missing shots that could go either way. Kind of pointless discussing that with you, as you wouldn't do it, but if someone else likes this dice rolling idea than feel free to use it. [/quote] That's not a bad idea at all, honestly. I give merit where it belongs even if I don't think I'd use the system personally -- just because I dislike FPS games doesn't mean I can't appreciate when one of them does things better than the others do. It's too bad the people on that forum I keep mentioning didn't do that.
