Foster

Traveller, what do you think?

Doing one right now-ish, minus psychics.

Murasaki did the planets 'n stuff, and the ship (mostly).

And due to the topic-change, I have to expand the list to people I have, or currently am RPing with.

RPer Appreciation Thread

Well, I've got a few that I know I've totally boondoggled over the years, either due to "scheduling", making an ass out of my introduction, sending the story in a direction none of us wanted it to go, or simply having lost their interest; probably the one I really missed the bus on was with Exorcist93/VanillaFire, which was cut-short shortly after the int-check was launched due to a brain-hemorrhage. She recovered from her coma a few months later*, and eventually regained some of her memories after changing her username, but apparently suffered a re-bleed (which is nearly always fatal).

*Ironically, myself coming to terms with news of her hemorrhage occurred only a few days before she returned.

**"Scheduling" also includes prolonged loss of access to internet for any and all reasons. Usually I just bookmark the RP on-hold and wait.

Smut VS No Smut: Where Do You Stand On the Matter?

For a short RP where it isn't the basis of the story, I tend to keep it vague with just enough detail to know what is going on should something happen suddenly in the RP, allowing the minds of the reader (for example, TMH) to go wherever it goes when reading such so they can imagine an idealized situation and the story can progress from there without a lot of trial and error (mostly error).

Fade to black and head-tilt worthy noodle-incidents are for when those details are of minor importance except that "something" happened. A nine month timeskip usually follows shortly afterwards for some reason.

But sometimes it *IS* important to the plot...

I take a similar approach to gore and dismemberment, since if the person's body isn't recognizable, there isn't much point of the narrator deciding whether what the character is looking at is a finger, or a toe.

Female Demon* Seeks Useful Employment with Mature Mage, Sorcerer, or Other Magic-User (18+)

For some reason, I suspect this'll drain the life right outta me. So pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

-Unless one can 'see' magic, it would be hard to tell the difference between magic, and technology hidden behind a cosmetic veneer.

Exodus: Fall From Grace (Starship Troopers/Blue Gender RP)

Just so y'know, the GSh-23-2 pretty much uses the came belted case, necked-up to 23mm as 23x115mm.

Also, look up ED-209

Exodus: Fall From Grace (Starship Troopers/Blue Gender RP)

14.5x114mm from KPV very heavy machine gun, uses same cartridge as the PTRD-41.

Later models have been retrofitted with anything up to a 30mm.

Exodus: Fall From Grace (Starship Troopers/Blue Gender RP)

BTR-60 for life.


Getting out the side-door without getting your head blown-off is fun. Come out on your side, head towards rear, swing legs down while holding top-rear rail, forward movement of APC brings you vertical.

Due to the challenges of doing this, riding on top was a thing. And the BTR-80 opted for a larger door you could walk out of.

These are the voyages of the Heavy Hand; Foster and Murasaki

The two servants bowed their heads gently and took Mutan's things, one of them pausing only to use the household intercom informing the rest of the Godie family of their daughter's arrival and her general mood summarized as one surprisingly polite word.

Adria seemed to rather enjoy the prospect of being treated with a mediocrium of respect via association with royalty, that and maybe a servant to boss around... The idea flittered through her mind only briefly, as the duties of offloading the ship still fell upon her, although not being tasking with bringing their baggage to their respective accommodations and back was no small blessing.

Isaac was temporarily more concerned over the cosmetic appearances of the ship's boat, since he may as well make it look presentable with so many onlookers; a task a number of servants set about right-away.

Meanwhile, Mortimer was right beside Mutan should anything embarrassing happen.

And with a degree of punctuality, Mutan's older sister -Erika- was the first of the family to step outside; the only one, in fact. The rest most likely stayed by the porch-side or were inside engrossed upon a multitude of files since they weren't exactly expecting her to arrive on-time. That said, Erika stepped out with open arms and seemed most interested in what odd company her little sister had brought along for today.

Today I went to a Walmart

Oh, Jade 15 was the leasing of a Walmart as a shoot-house for the military operators during the exercise... nobody told you?

Oh right, "Plumbing issue", those MREs do bad things to toilets.

Think "turds the size of your head" and "plugged sewer mains".
