Current 7:46 AM, reporting from the world of pain. But hey, I’m almost home. Almost

Agreed, absolutely could do better. Now, how do you actually make people behave decently and procreate responsibly. What actually can we do but engage them in good faith or avoid? Hate ‘em? Ostracize?

Hell, adults don’t act like adults most of the times. And nobody gives a shit about each other unless you make them. My favorite way to deal with kids — promise to kidnap and eat them. Most hilarious

Nobody judges, I’m just saying it’s counterproductive to expect some things. Children won’t act like adults. You may teach them better by treating them like adults, but no, it’s underdeveloped human.

People misbehave and make you uncomfortable? Go tell them. Stop passive aggressive twitting and socialize idiots at the cost of them lashing back and telling you that it’s you who’s in the wrong

Bio

27 y.o. roleplayer from Eastern Europe.
I am legit high-functioning autist that likes to study human psychology and the darkest manifestation of it for a special interest since the age of nine. Fan of dystopian themes, good conflict and drama, though, at times, I can be naturally sweet and caring both in and out of character.

Favorites and firsts:
- favorite writer — Kurt Vonnegut.
If you’ve read Mother Night and Cat’s Cradle and other books, you’ll get much and more about the way I process reality and perceive happenings and deeds.

- first fantasy book — Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula LeGuin
I was six, and my only fantasy experience was watching my father play Heroes of Might and Magic III, but this. This magic, this way of weaving ideas through symbols in narrative, imprinted on me forever. Actually, I have felt as if I was another Orm-dragon kin, just not given proper name, yet. (Turned out, I really didn’t belong, but not literally, symbolically)

- first world-renowned classic — Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
Hands down, my actual favorite. A Hero of Our Time by Lermontov and other things by Bulgakov or Gorkiy or Remark didn’t even come close, but this book I re-read after initial read aged 11 twice and always found it different due to intricate detalization. Foreigners drool over Dostoevsky and Tolstoy for the philosophy, but Bulgakov should be praised more for exposing Imperial and Soviet Russia for what it was with vices and contradictions and oppression of gifted in sake of conforming
Also, as an atheist, I didn’t feel itch while reading Bulgakov, and Dost and Tolstoy make me nauseous with their ‘spirituality’. Both men were bastards, don’t like preachers filled with vice and shit, yup

- first native bands on repeat — Машина времени, ДДТ
- first international bands on repeat — Secret Service, ABBA
- favorite bands as a soundtrack to my daily life — Frank Ferdinand, Би-2
Also Depeche Mode, Muse, Nothing but Thieves, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Glass Animals, Gogol Bordello, The Black Angels and Cage the Elephant are often on repeat

- favorite TV series — Breaking Bad
- favorite films — Kin-dza-dza, The Lord of the Rings

I felt this deeply, as I'm almost in the same situation. Welcome and I hope you'll get at least some of that imaginative/virtual freedom here to get the hell away from the chaos at least mentally/emotionally through creative ways.


Ah, a fellow Gulag inmate. Hello-hello

Greetings, Guild.

My full nickname is VerminaeSupremacy, it’s slapped on all my contacts, and kudos to those who can read music references because I do these a lot.

I am a 27 year old autistic nerd, living in a certain country where freedom and tolerance is in extremely low supply, but can’t escape just yet. Need a place to process the chaos unfolding, and, since I always refined real issues through roleplaying, I hope I can team up with a bunch of sad escapists like myself, willing to play drama, thriller, sci-fi or dark fantasy with depressive themes to make reality pale in comparison.

English is my second language, I think I am decent enough and have pretty rich vocabulary to increase artistic value of my texts. I may mess up times at times or use some clunky phrasing, but, being perfectionist and open to critique, I‘ll gladly fix anything. Actually, I used to fix posts 20+ times if I waited for reply too long. Obsessive much? Ikr

I’ve been a play-by-post roleplayer for 18 years, for the last 2 years I also am active tabletop roleplayer and GM. I have several worlds I already developed for roleplay, a couple that are settings for the books, fandoms I played, fandoms I know and adore, but mostly I prefer original world for any new character and just use popular fiction and media as references. As is I’ll only play TES, and, maybe, Forgotten Realms with a grounded approach to narrative as opposed to ‘here’s 9th level spell, I fix everything and become a god’. I enjoy low fantasy like ASoIaF and The First Law by Abercrombie a lot. Also kudos for Sanderson’s fans. The Black Company old school fans, Malazan club, Witcher books and games people, Robin Hobb fans, hey-hey-hey to you too.
Other than big fantasy nerd I am all for suspense and fear. Be it The Great Unknown, secret technologies, or just a suspected maniac, mystical detective, sci-fi in space - it’s cool. Dark and Katla by Netflix come to mind, also The Expanse. Stargate (especially Andromeda).
I also like serious social, economical and political themes in games. Maybe even more than sci-fi, because you can bring sci-fi troupes into fantasy and spice it up with Lovecraftian horrors, but unless you play Bronze Age/Classical or medieval mindset and processes, even with emancipation of women (or, at least, precedents), it feels bland for me. Same goes for the exact same modern problems in futuristic settings.

PS:
I can go by any legitimate pronoun, nickname or character name, even reveal my true name and identity, if you care about this stuff. As a kid I dreamed of being a dragon and cross played since an early age, so, who am I to judge. Just don’t be stalking creep or preach the only valid point of view and I’m cool with you
