Being truly on my own is a bit of a weird feeling. It's never really happened.

Let it never be said that sometimes extreme brevity isn't the most appropriate post, though. Everything is a tool.

I'm having trouble narrowing down what to do. So I've been waiting on other people in the fight to post. ^^;
@Rin Yeah haven't played it but uh lolis creep me out sometime


That... that is not the issue with that game.
Username: Rain

Age: 20

Favorite Book/Movie: Discworld for books, and then either Big Hero 6 or Lord of the Rings for movie. Well, the Discworld Hogfather might count (not the Going Postal movie, and I did like the Colour of Magic one)
High fantasy, steampunk (it's almost inherently fantasy anyway), urban fantasy.
Steampunk fantasy is always a good start. XD
And I would keep up the gallows humour and black comedy. Horror? Not so much. XD
@Raineh Daze Exactly what you think


But... cosmic horror is very much 'things man was not meant to know', any resistance is futile in the end, and despair.
Dracula is just a sex metaphor.
And the World of Darkness is more about 'what makes a monster?' and morality, amongst the more normal 'inhuman creatures walk amongst us' and the fact normal people are rather like bugs to the older things.

Then there's, say, Ravenloft. It's utterly hopeless, evil is everywhere, you can't trust anything... but it's a D&D campaign setting so 9/10 you'll end up with people beating the crap out of the hellish stuff one way or another. XD

Basically: I don't know what you think I think.

So, the question I should be asking is how much do we want to adhere to expectation. I think it depends on how long we want to be going at this. The farther we stray, the longer it'll take, which is perfectly fine, that's what we are here for.


I'd say just get the genre in general, and we adhere to expectations as closely or as little as we randomly chance it.
Expectations aren't the same as genre requirements. Got plenty of unrealistic stuff going on? High fantasy.
I hold a heavy preference for a horror fantasy adventure i feel that horror fantasy allows for a much more loose of what can exist


What do you mean by 'horror fantasy'? Cosmic horror? Dracula? World of Darkness?
Well, from the fact it's world-building, I'm going to assume that speculative fiction is a given. Personally, I prefer fantasy over sci-fi, though that can be largely ascribed to getting side-tracked onto actual science too often. XD
