Current Remember, nobody actually enjoys roleplaying if there isn't at least five shameful fetishes uncovered by the 2nd page.

Somebody stole my mood ring. I don't know how to feel about it.

Let's be honest, it's far more satisfying and challenging to actually imagine what a character looks like than paste a hundred gifs of a celebrity and call it good.

So, a team of players who are good at playing as a team in a team-based game are individually bad players. Seems kind of silly when you put it like that, no?

My goal these days is to have an RP that can actually finish, or the very least, last a few years. I see way too many die on page one to take chances

Yeah, you're probably right. I'll start a single thread next time she does something noteworthy.


You can be the one who starts the Cult of Kaga's room mate.

It reminds me of this: Texts from Bennett. From the site,

These are text messages I exchange with my 17 year old cousin Bennett. He is a white boy that thinks he's a Crip, is currently unemployed, has a girlfriend named Mercedes, and is one of the most unintentionally funny and brilliant souls on the planet.

by the way, this blog is 100% real.

How about we just make thread for all your roommate stories.


Hate to say it, but yeah.

Good thing women don't have blood related issues involving coherent decision making.

Only way you can really guarantee this is by making an rp and running it yourself and striving for this pacing. It's exceptionally rare to find rps doing this, but they're there.


Every RP hits slumps. You'd have a better chance of finding a Unicorn with tears that cured cancer than you would of having an entire group that posted consistently twice a week for the entire game's duration. Right now, both of my RPs have over half the players away because of school, moving, health, and a host of other issues that can't be avoided, plus the few people who are suffering from writer's block/ lack of inspiration. Doesn't mean the game's dead, just means it's semi-dormant until people start getting back up in pace again.

Furthermore, God gave men 2 heads, but only enough blood to properly work one at a time, and no way to choose which head that is at any individual point in time!


Dat's sexist.
Most big fantasy settings are set in medieval European inspired settings, so it's what people are familiar with. Knights, kingdoms, and dragons and the lot are easy to conjure up in the mind compared to say Mamluks, Caliphates, and sphinxes for a lot of people. Usually when people read the word fantasy as a descriptor, Westeros, Middle Earth, Tamriel, and countless others come to mind, most with heavy European slants. Sure, a lot have Middle Eastern inspired places (Dorne in ASoIaF, Hammerfell in The Elder Scrolls, for instance) but we seldom see much of those places so they aren't immediately what come to mind. People like to roleplay what they're familiar with, so it doesn't surprise me that Arabian inspired settings aren't very common. I'm sure if you looked at an Arabic roleplaying site, their fantasy games would probably have a lot more settings reflecting Sinbad the Sailor, among others.

It isn't that people are "afraid" of Arabs as much as it's not something people are familiar with. it's also the reason you don't really see anything having to do with Chinese mythology in the vein of Jade Empire, that excellent BioWare RPG, because people really don't know much about that kind of setting.
Ermahgerd yes! Show us all!

Also, planking Cub is planking.

It's an indie-horror game that got way too much hype because the developers had a basic understanding of suspense and jump-scares. It's fun to play, but only in the same way that slender was.That, yeah.


It's kind of because of popular Youtubers anyone knows what this game is at all, let alone bought it. After watching 15 minutes of it, I'm pretty sure I've had the full (mediocre) experience.

The game would have been MUCH more suspenseful if you had to actually walk around and lock doors manually for the full night while the puppets are trying to find you. You can tell this game was made on a shoestring budget.
