I am so in awe of people who can create so much colour and story in such a short space! And don't even get me started on the genre you've totally aced here!! Very nice work.

[i_17bingo]

I don't even know what genre this is to be honest. It's not quite fantasy because it's mostly teenagers-and-early-twenty-somethings belittling each other, but it's not quite New Adult, because there's a tiny bit of magic in it.

Well, it's beyond me to attempt/recreate, I know that much :) So, kudos!

Yes!

This is coming together nicely.

Re: Yes!

[i_17bingo]

Thanks, whomever you are!

This is a pretty complicated scene. This much dialogue and exposition can be a slow slog but your pacing is perfect. And the subtext of erotic attraction is nice!

[i_17bingo]

This is a relief to hear. I was worried I was going to drown this in dry, boring exposition--but the story needed me to write it...

[adoptedwriter]

Great dialogue here! AW

[i_17bingo]

Thanks! It's what I work hardest at, so it's nice to hear it I succeeded.

Having been part of a tabletop RPG with friends for many years (although not in a very long time) and still having a decent collection of hand-painted (by me) tiny pewter figurines, I really adored this entry.

Also "Rjallin the Dwarven Warrior of Exceptional Skill and Moderate Physical Strength and Charisma" made me laugh!

[i_17bingo]

My figurines were never hand-painted, because I lacked the skill and the friends with the focus to do it for me.

The arguments, though. Those were what made it all worthwhile.
