Current I'm going to have to take a break for awhile. One of my dogs just passed; we went to bed together like we always do and when I woke up she was gone. I feel awful right now.

Had a fun birthday. Had some alligator tail for dinner, overall was pretty good for a place I hadn't been to before. Will start getting back into the groove of things soon.

Hi. If you've wound up here, you're probably wondering who I am.

You can call me Kuro, although some of you might better recognize me by one of the several other names that I have used in the past throughout the 11-ish years that I have spent on this forum. I'm a middle-twenties retail manager that is still trying to relive the glory days of their roleplay career while balancing a full-time job with an unsatiable need for overtime.

I tend to be open to most ideas when it comes to roleplay itself, be it whatever genre, group size, system, etc. That being said, I often gravitate to anything that falls in the following categories: anime, fantasy, slice of life, superhero or survival horror. If you believe that you have an idea that I might be interested in, feel free to shoot me a link; I'll get back to you as soon as I possibly can. Sometimes I forget to check my messages, so don't feel bad about pestering me again if I missed it.

I also have a discord server laying around. If we're cool, then I might be willing to a toss an invite your way.

Since we’re such interesting people and no one would do anything stupid, creepy or crazy with such a meetup. Yeah. Might be fun. Besides looking at the internet facade of who someone is, when you don’t even know their name-lamish. (Yeah made up the word.)

i'm too poor anyway to go to a meet and greet lmao

Heard joke once.

A roleplayer goes to a doctor.

“Doctor, I’m depressed,” the roleplayer says; life is harsh, unforgiving, cruel.

The doctor lights up. The treatment, after all, is simple.

“The great roleplayer Gowi is in town tonight,” the doctor says, “Go and see her! That should sort you out.”

The roleplayer bursts into tears. “But doctor,” they say, “I am Gowi.”

for the uninitiated this is a joke about gowi and i having numerous people think we're the same person
If someone’s done this forgive me. But just interested do you guys use or create maps for role plays? Why or why not? If you do create maps could explain how you go about it? (The inspiration for the design of it and the names you attach to it. What program you use or if it’s hand drawn.).


I personally don't make RP maps all that often. Some RPs need them, of course, but most of the time it bogs things down when you can just make a "mental map" and jot some notes down as to where things are.

That said, multiple ways to do this:

Some people free hand it on paper or online (I used to use Roll20 and/or MSPaint back then) and screenshot/upload it. Others use map programs like Inkarnate to help build maps, just give "worldbuilding map program" or something a google search and you'll probably find it among others that could help out.

Then of course you have the crowd that just steals a map they find online and uses it for their RP, but who would do that? Certainly not RPers.

I'd say those are weighted a bit towards the modern side. There's a massive gap between medieval and Napoleonic. I'd probably stick with Renaissance or Baroque and Victorian or Twentieth Century, personally.


To be fair, I did say not limited to. They were just examples I spun off the top of my head. That said, I'm personally against century labels. It feels too broad for a time period tag, imo.
You are the least funny person I have ever met on RPG.


Love you too
Seven days feel like years at this point.
