If you're roleplaying with your only friends, you're roleplaying with your best friends.

I think to sell someone on an interest check, it's really important to seem enthusiastic about your own idea. That means writing more than a single sentence to attract potential players.

Bio


W I T H R I G H T E O U S H A N D S





Did you know that Dante's inferno is called a divine comedy because things work out for the protagonist? Back in the day, the only two genres were comedy and drama. The only difference was that in a comedy, the protagonist is better off at the end, and a drama is the opposite. So that's why a story about going through hell can still be considered a comedy, even if it's not funny.

Name:
Broken Promise, BP, Boss

Age:
Old enough to know better, too young to care. (that is to say 30's)

Preferred RPs:
I Prefer to make my own, but will occasionally join something if it looks interesting. I'll join just about anything so long as it isn’t overly edgy/sweet, though it's rare for me to do. I don't do 1x1s too often either.

Preferred Roles:
I tend to play adorable characters everyone wants to befriend or proper assholes everyone wants to stay away from. I try not to play moral paragons or prime evils.

RP Conquests:
I've completed quite a few RP's off site, but most of them are on private forums or have simply been lost to the ravages of server crashes. As for stuff here, I'm sure everyone who sees me post in the off topic sections has seen me find an excuse to talk about Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage. It's a project that took over 4 years to complete and I feel pride not only for myself but all the wonderful people who helped make it enjoyable during its run. Re: Zero: The High Council Is technically my first, but it was just something I kind of took over and ended up ending the story after just six months. It finished, but eh...

Last RP I finished was Symphony of Espers which turned out pretty good.

RP's in progress:
For some reason I can't seem to stay away from Ari's magical girl RP, even if I'm not sure why I'm still in it.

As for my own projects, I'm doing Symphony on High to continue the gigachad adventures of the espers in Pax Septimus.

RP Graveyard:
I've been pretty fortunate on this forum. I think I joined one when I first came on the site that didn't really do anything, and there are a few 1x1 things that didn't go anywhere. It's disappointing when an RP ends before it can be finished, but I've come to look at them as learning experiences.

And then there's that london magical girl RP, and that dark magical girl RP. I think I'm done joining magical girl RPs for a while.

Other interests:
Videos
I watch a lot of educational videos on youtube. Usually as research for something I’m writing or purely because a topic interests me. I like channels like Tier Zoo and Daryl Talks Games, and I’ll also watch things like Critical Drinker or Literature Devil to deepen my understanding of story telling. Though I also like memes and jokes, to which I’ll find myself watching stuff like Sseth, but usually find myself surfing through meme videos. I gotta work on that.

Games
I have a rather long history of playing virtually every platformer to come into existence during the indie boom, as well as quite a few other indie games. I’ve played Meatboy, Binding of Issac, Gunvolt, Cuphead, Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt, Classic Metroid, Warcraft 3, Final Fantasy 7,8, and 14, Left 4 Dead, Shantae, Celeste, Danganronpa, God Eater, the list goes on. What I’ve played is kind of all over the place. I don’t play many games these days, I tend to pick things that look interesting and go on a decent steam sale.

Painting Minis
I do this in moderation. Otherwise, it's a pretty expensive hobby to start...

Music
I listen to everything, save most country/rap songs. I have too many favorites to name.

Personality:
Not one to take life or the internet too seriously. Is only serious about writing well and having a good time.

People to Insult:
Dalton is a Dingus.

@SleepingSilence Kinda weird that you chose to correct a typo while quoting me, but I'll take it over openly mocking me about it.

Getting back to Inscryption though, card games are inherently RNG based. You're always going to have the chance to get the very worst cards for a given situation despite having an almost air tight deck. The first few runs in Act 1 is more like a tutorial anyway. There's a lot of stuff like scripted deaths and simple barriers that prevent you from completing "the game" until you do the other, "non-game" related stuff. They drop the rouge-lite elements as soon as you go into act 2, and they don't even come back for act 3.

Also, I think I was un-alived about 6 times during my first play through of act 1, and it only happened 3 times on my second play through. While this was slightly because of RNG, I do think I understood the game better, allowing me to more reliably clear it. Ergo, you can get better.

But Inscryption is a game with a story, and the game is very much in service to the story through the entire experience. If you want to look at inscryption on its own merits as a game, then you need to play kacee's mod. Which is not a mod, but a free DLC that lets you play a more challenging, but also less scripted version of Inscryption. More cards, different starting hands to choose, different events, challenges to make the game even harder, etc. But it's still a card game and everything it entails. You can increase your odds of winning by learning about all the broken builds you can make and gradually building combos or stronger cards. Most of your duels are won through carefully selected synergies rather than the actual moment to moment card play.

But if you're the type of person that gets urked over scripted losses, or doesn't like the idea that they might have a bad run and lose regardless of how good they are (read: any true card game) then you're going to have a bad time with Inscryption no matter what.
Stellar Blade doesn't need to be memorable, it needs to make a profit.

Shift Up might be new to the triple A game scene, but they already have a mobile game (Nikke, Goddess of Victory) that's pretty much just a machine that prints money for them. They've built up a good reputation by being open to player feedback and giving them what they want. I'm not a huge fan of companies going on the open market, but (i'm told, but cant verify) the CEO holds almost half the company's shares and his wife is holding a bit of it too, so there shouldn't be a drastic change in the company's vision for the foreseeable future.

Thanks to the culture war, Stellar Blade is going to be a guaranteed success so long as it doesn't release as a half baked mess. Too many people are talking about it, and all that talk generates interest. There's even a demo out, and apparently it's good. I'm not sure where the Neir comments are coming from, nor have I heard this take anywhere but here. Yoko Taro said they were enthusiastic about the game, but that's because he's never been one to hide the fact that he likes sexy woman in games.

I don't really have a pony in this race. I don't have a play station, nor would I be in a rush to buy a brand new game given that 99.9% of them aren't truly finished until at least five years after release. Even if Stellar Blade bucked that trend and eventually got ported to steam, I can't say I'd rush out and buy it. It's not something I would normally play. But I'm fine with it existing in the video game ecosystem in what is sure to be a springboard for bigger and better projects from Shift Up.

Regardless of how Stellar Blade performs, I feel like it's not going to have a huge impact on the culture war. At this point, it feels like something that's going to go on forever so long as people continue perpetuating it. Both sides are dumb. Just stop talking about it.

Also anyone who doesn't like Inscryption probably doesn't like card games in general and should stop spreading their wrong opinions on the internet post hate.
@GOATPlumber Holy canolie MR White, I'd live to have you. We've got a week or so before operations start, so it would be swell if you could cook something up before then.

Would you like a discord invite? And what were you planning on making?
Let's start with a little intrigue, a little mystery, a little adventure.


"Wow! Feels like I missed 7 months of school!”

— Suki Oyama


Few things were certain in a magical girl’s life. Going to school was one of them. If only for the occasional meetup with the rest of the detention club.

It was hard to tell where the time went. One moment you were meeting up with everyone in the club room, by the next you were nearing the end of the first school term. Where had the time gone? Suki was sure it was fall or spring just a moment ago, and now they were half way through June. Once July was over, they’d have a quick summer break before classes started up again. It wasn’t like Suki could complain. There was so much drudgery between school and everything else that she wouldn’t say no to a vacation. Of course, she’d probably end up taking a summer job, but that was neither here nor there. Regardless if she had time off or not, everyone was going to be in swimsuits. When everyone was in swimsuits, everyone was a winner. She could practically see it now…

But she would have time to enjoy the real thing when it rolled around. Right now were far more pressing matters, and Suki needed to talk about them. Boss baby was a no go, as she left school early to tend to the family pyre. Bast was equally predisposed. The girl had a way of getting confused by the most ordinary of situations. Wet-Works and Chess-Nut had been absent for a while. They weren’t locals, so it was hard to be surprised by this. They’d drop by again. Eyeball and Multi-Face were always up to something, and she never felt super secure around them. Even if Eyeball was the first detention club girl she kissed and Multi-Face was oddly clingy. This meant she would have to seek help from Rainbow, Nyx, and Bedshaker. Bedshaker was not really ideal, but she was pretty much a package deal with Nyx. Rainbow on the other hand had always been there for her and was a great partner, so including her in this emergency meeting was essential. Not only that, but it made her feel a little safer when Bedshaker was around.

The detention club didn’t typically do after school activities, not right after the school closed at least. But for what Suki needed, now was the best time to get everyone together. But she couldn’t just stand out in the open. What if Bedshaker came first?

So she laid under the table. It wasn’t a great hiding spot, but maybe Bedshaker wouldn’t notice initially? It wasn't like she had been smoking.


A Tale of Hormones

Uh, yea, this is a sort of off shoot to the canceled RP "Kurai Majokko." We just kind of felt like playing our characters more and exploring the interpersonal relationships of a lusty blood witch, a dark code enforcer, a brooding misanthropist, and an emotionless drug dealer. Who knows what sort of nonsense these delinquents are going to get into?


Event Records

They were the first one to sign up, they were just sneaky about it.
@The World@Lonewolf685@Ponn Might as well re-post your character sheets in the character tab here. I'll see about getting a starter up in a few days.
