Whats everyone's beef with hentai? Everyone who ever called themselves an anime fan at one point has jerked off to it.

@Dynamo Frokane

Maybe they never saw old pinup art.

FOR GROWN ADULT 1950s MEN ONLY

And that's one where I didn't need to add two or three censor bars.

I am like 90% sure Raelyn's suggestion to Solveig was this.

@Dervish

Don't be ridiculous, their legs aren't bent nearly far enough.

The safe word is The Name of the Wind.

Roleplayerguild and mental health

There's way too many people who claim they have mental issues for all of them to actually have a serious one. I had a psychiatrist diagnose me with anxiety disorder, but I've seen at least three people who had variations or supposedly the same thing who acted completely differently (my sister, mostly functional just very specific about how she does things, a security guard who is very friendly but acts a bit off, and some woman at my hospital who locked herself in the bathroom for hours and panicked if you tried talking to her and also tried grooming/cleaned her genitalia in another bathroom later on).

Another psychiatrist told me the opposite, which was a year later so a lot had changed, changing the diagnosis. I was also diagnosed with ADHD and depression at one point, the first was diagnosed when I was a hyper child and the other because I was a teenager. I think many people here are probably misdiagnosed due to age. Besides that, I don't buy the theory that roleplaying attracts people looking for an escape from reality. There's plenty of people here who legitimately like writing and don't absorb themselves into characters. Are actors also trying to escape from reality? People who play DnD? It's too simple of an explanation.

God forbid anyone actually enjoy writing characters and stories. That would be too positive.

Could have Zel try to sell hard substances to the actual mafia because by her general logic, if she sells to "the most important man" then Redding will be proud of her and she'll be happy forever and she won't have to stab a customer ever again.

How to keep a character from being Killed

The best strategy I've always found is to say that you'll commit suicide if your OC dies or argue with the GM over and over again.

Actual answer, it's complicated. You get different GMs with different ideas of what's "realistically" surviveable. Some might not even care and let you do whatever you want. For rps that follow a somewhat "realistic" mindset, the basic goal of any plan should be for it to end with you surviving. This means, if the plan most likely to succeed is also the most deadly to your person, it's going to likely end with you dying. You should go with a plan that has at least a small chance of succeeding with least chance of death, always. It's better to roll the dice 5,000 times than to roll the dice once with huge stakes, if your goal is survival. You should also opt to take any plan you see that has absolutely no chance of failure.

Then again, sometimes you have to roll the dice to succeed in very dangerous situations. So it's a crapshoot, really. Your best bet is to become game theory en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory.

Roleplaying 'Productivity' Applications

I often use Writemonkey with the big huge thesaurus plugin (allows you to write a word then find several synonyms for that word) and sometimes focuswriter, with titanpad or piratepad.

Plus, we need to get @Chrononaut involved somehow. And btw, love Zel. Great post - I look forwards to her interactions with the rest.

@Tsar Gatto

@Tsar Gatto Redding has her working for him on fear of death, so we have that going.
