Current I'm a pretty good writer and former site staff; I still deal with imposter syndrome every time I log on. You're definitely not alone. And t's worth trying anyway.

I just finished The Secret History, a very Gen X book. Never Let Me Go before that, which I'd recommend to any writer outside the MFA atmosphere who wants to know emotonal restraint.

<Snipped quote by Morden Man>

As someone who was interested in joining, reading through the IC, and jotting down a CS, it is rather disheartening to see the GM say this. It doesn't show confidence, and thus won't inspire others to post or join. After reading this I'm not sure if I still have a desire to join, as a game where the GM is talking about the potential end as soon as things hit a relative slow patch doesn't make for the best experience. I have ideas and concepts I would like to explore in this world, but not if the GM is already losing confidence in his own game.

Just the thoughts of a stranger who isn't officially a part of this.


I'm new. I don't regret it. So much fun to be had with the mutants. It's two people I've always wanted to play with, and Sep. And if you don't know Sep, well then you're missing out. Only one of those. You could have fun with that group.

And Morden's just sunshine as usual.

Although I can see why a GM would think out all possibilities. Even that one.

Certainly hope you stay, but understandable if you don't. It's all about the elusive fun.

My fault. Totally my fault.


Shh. Take your time. <3
I'm here. Not much I can do right now.

But, I'm here. =)
A while ago I joined a game ran by someone I considered a RP friend. For whatever reason, GM them and player me instantly got into conflicts, and I left the situation with hurt feelings and someone that used to be a RP friend, instead of a RP friend. They treated me like a stranger, and it was really kind of shocking and disturbing.

Fast forward to more recent times, and someone I've known for years and wrote with for years is chatting with me. It comes up in conversation that he and I used to bicker about characters and plots and various bits of running a RP. Then he says, "But you and I haven't bickered in a long time."

My response? "It's been a while since you dealt with GM Ruby."

It made me think about the first situation, where someone I felt was a friend was anything but friendly when I joined their game. So I wonder...is there truly a GM you, and a player you? Do you find when you run a game that you act differently, even to people that you're kinda sorta friends with here on the Guild?

Is it ever a problem? Do you even realize it while you're going through the motions?
At the very least, I may have plans for Purifier shenanigans at some point, which, if again the X-players aren't opposed to, could potentially lead to cross-overs with the X-Men. Just thoughts in my thought-place, though.

I take it no plans for Gambit, either, correct?


We do have Purifier plans. Although that's still a little ways away for us (right, @Sep?), we're currently doing solo arcs, before gathering again as a team.
<Snipped quote by Ruby>

I mean, no knowing what the future will hold. But my plans for the character don't rely on, or begin with, the X-peeps.


lol Trust me, I think all anybody really cares about here is that you get to play a character you enjoy, and having fun with it. <3
@Ruby We can always hunt her down and force her to join the team.


Well, Charles is British...
Despite my better judgment, and intentions to avoid public games since my return to roleplaying, I have become interested in this newest Hype-style game. Its seeming stability thus far, as opposed to previous games, as well as the general activity of some of the original Hype members leaves me hopeful for the longevity of this endeavor. I also appreciate the attempt not to make the history of this world too convoluted.

Over the past twelve hours I've come up with a somewhat solid concept for Rogue, one that does not have ties to the X-Men, that I'd like to work with. In fact, just spent an hour writing out three pages front-to-back for her rough bio. Working out some finishing touches on potential early arcs and foes to encounter, however.

Before I even work up a complete character sheet, though, I will be fully reading the IC to catch up and immerse myself in this world as it has been crafted. I just wanted to note my interest here, first, and let the X-Men players know of my intent to use Rogue in advance, just in case they have plans for her.


No plans. Sad the X-Men are losing Rogue like they had lost (and might again) Wolverine, though.
<Snipped quote>

Give her a break she hasn't been writing well for years! Retirement is hard!
