This comment by dgg in an rpg forum gave me a good chuckle.

I have to share this Bad RPGer's example. It's written by a sockpuppet account, allowed in this community to avoid drama, in a third person style for fun. Be sure to read to the very end of "gay bear's" post.

I don’t roleplay anymore though I feel the pangs now and then; finding a good group to RP with though is difficult. I owe a lot to my RP days however; I made friends, improved my writing skills, and increased my confidence. I still keep up on the “bad RPer” talk, something I think any writer can appreciate ( Read more... )

Some people think you're immature because you're a fangirl, and they say the word "fangirl" with that tone -- chats may not have “tone” but you know what I mean -- that tells me they think I'm over the top. But, as I told a friend, at least we're not writing out incoherent roleplaying sessions of our favorite television shows with the caps locks on ( Read more... )

In the Neverwhere RPG I mad a special item granted to a player called the Silence Knife. Inspired by the case of Kitty Genovese and the crimes of Jack the Ripper, it was a weapon formed by the fears, outrage, and shame of the city. A wickedly sharp blade, those in its circle of influence cannot raise a finger to intervene, and afterwards they're ( Read more... )

I miss the old days when the game was new and fresh and we were young and naïve. Then the serpent came.

Since I'm on the topic, here are a few more MMO links, most still in Korean closed beta, but the videos are pretty things. Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of details, other than short articles. Reign of Revolution looks pretty, but what ( Read more... )

Before I ever messageboard role-played I didn’t "get it". I didn’t understand how one played when you had so many people doing more or less their own thing, but then I played and it all made sense in a nonsensical way. Now the great mysteries are tabletop role-playing games, the concept of which I understand but the mechanics of which I don't -- ( Read more... )

• An IKEA add advising you to tidy up. If not for you, then for them.
  
• Grandma needs a new mixer.
  
• Along the same lines, careful what you pull out of your purse.
  
• Now for something different. This is what happens when you mix a man withsports on the brain and one hamster.

Try though I might I can’t come up with anything worthwhile. Every post I start is too irrelevant, too dull, or just plain pointless and ends up in the recycle bin after a few lines. I’ve tried the tried and true introspective post, but one can only do so many times before it gets boring; at times like these joint posts usually help stir up some ( Read more... )

Sunday I spent a lot of time zoning out, thinking about people and friendship and life and love and death and anything else that would flit into and out of my mind.

Tomorrow is the day, and for that I'm rather excited, because closure is good, not that I expect many to actually care. If they did, well, never mind. People’s actions and words don’ ( Read more... )
