Man...all this talk about RPGs has got my tendency for obsession going. By that I mean I have a way of getting stuck on something until I purge it from my system...or perpetuate it until it exhausts itself

Falkenstein

[corlawc]

Man, you really should have sat in on our Falkenstein campaign. You sat in on probably the poorest performance we've had in a while. Falkenstein was amazing in its hilarity and the amount we played in character (Toaster and I particularly).

I hope next session goes better than the last. I know I have some good ideas on what to do/how to do it now that I've looked into the mechanics a bit I can feel a bit more free with my character.

I understand what you mean in the difference between online and tabletop RPGing. I started in chat rooms, then moved to play-by-e-mail, then message board, then more chat rooms, then finally to White Wolf and beyond in real life. I enjoyed the freedom of the story, though when n00bs joined it was always annoying. God-moding so pissed me off. The action *L33td00d12 kills everyone in the room* .... sigh.

I still have all my old posts, even from the very beginning. Old chat logs, text files of the e-mails, etc. From when I was 12/13. It makes me cringe to read them now, but it helps to see how much I've grown in my writing. It's too bad I've stopped writing. I haven't had the time for it in a very long while, and I no longer have the time to sit in front of the comp for a whole RP session, or even an hour long sim. I've retired all my fleet characters and now only play one-offs with people when they're hurting for crew.

How times change...

I think it would be great if I could get past the awkwardness of being in person.

Never went to PBE or message boards. I guess I need the speed of a chat room. I like reactions and to react to events as they happen (relatively).

I understand "noobs" all too well though. I didn't stay in public chat rooms for more than a few months. I've ethier played in private rooms with a close group of people or done it on AIM individually.

*lol* I don't think I have anything back from that early. I do have some old stuff though. Not sure how much better I've become. Bigger vocabulary at least. =P I rarely use proper punctuation though. I'll take a "..." for a pause over a comma any day.
