The icebergs were nearly gone but the smaller ones were their own threat; shards thumped the deck like knives stabbing the wood. Ice fell in hailstorms from the waves high above him, death in spades he escaped with the twisting of his body and the swiftness of his steps. He fired another earth...

I like seeing others fail while I succeed. Their suffering brings me happiness and I bask in their screams. Glory to house Jet! We shall conquer RPN for the emperor of mankind! (No but seriously it's kinda sad, wish everyone could find the group they're looking for, and run the stories they...

Obviously I'm biased but that's a good choice, and a good middle ground if you like having roles. That would actually change my interest in your RP, and I would consider joining if my current project didn't dominate my time (GMing with 10+ characters/NPCs 🤣). @WanderLust.

1. Exactly. This is a marked difference between my philosophy and what you believe in. In my opinion, my responsibilities don't revolve around making my own experience easier, especially by forcing people into creative corners. Nor have I needed to box people into roles for my plots to function...

1. Pre-determined roles are constricting and what purpose to they have? I've never seen the mechanic spin valves and bang pipes for concurrent posts. It also elevates certain members when you have powerful positions, aka the ones people always choose first, stuff like captain and first mate or...

Kwame tensed when she maligned the man like a criminal in court — fool was the word and Kwame was one too, because under the same circumstances faced by the knight, he would've done the same thing. He followed chivalrous codes ignored by knights in the modern era, oaths of honor and vows no...

Kate, Jack and Sawyer in Lost. Her indecision between "good guy" Jack and "bad boy" Sawyer was cliche and cringe as fuck, and made her (an otherwise good character) into an unlikable bitch for playing with the guys' feelings. It added nothing important to the story, ruined her character and...

Love triangles because they're a harem fantasy for whoever is mutually desired. It's also sad as fuck for the desperate duo begging for attention like dogs, when their crush clearly doesn't like them as much — considering they flip-flop between two options. I often view those characters as weak...

Depends wildly on the party and DM. It's like any video game community on the internet (not that it's a video game but the comparison works). There are serious players dripping in sweat looking for the perfect min-max combos, quoting rule books and hoping to crush the DM. There are DMs who know...

@Zweit lmao that's good to hear, maybe he's got some value as a meme character, maybe one day I'll bust out the dodge challenger & sunglasses again 😂 @DragonSlayer57 hey not a bad comparison, I'll take it. Who doesn't love a homicidal track star with a crisp lineup?

My first character was my first memorable one as well, because he was a total cliche of every "badass" stereotype under the sun. I was a rookie writer and my influences were Scorsese movies and video games, no wonder I produced a mercenary hitman wearing all black and sunglasses, driving a...

Damian was surprised when Ava approached the truth of his time travel, perhaps her muscles didn't use all the energy meant for her mind. He nodded at her with a raised brow and a lipless smile at her simple explanation, for even in its rudimentary fashion, she was closer than most would ever...

Oh man I feel this one. My first character was a Walmart John Wick who was "tough as nails" and always made the right move, wore black suits and drove a fucking Challenger lmao. He was a walking cliche, sigma grindset Gary Stu. Every time I think about this guy, I take 1d8 psychic damage. I...

Maybe you went nuclear and raged at someone, or ghosted a great RP and later regretted it, or maybe you abandoned a project you were running as a GM, only to realize your mistake later? Perhaps you have an embarrassing moment like repeatedly mis-naming another character, like calling Steven...

"Yeah well," the man mumbled in response. "I wasn't born yesterday, you'll wear him down until he tells you the name." He smiled imagining them around Kwame like buzzing flies. "Give us the name Kwame! The name! Give us the name Kwame!" Despite her taunts he would avoid that mistake. "While...

Overly controlling GMs with strict rules for character creation, narrow boundaries for lore and assigning roles to the cast. I hate the idea of being forced into a specific character within narrow lore constraints. It seems one sided like the GM wants me to populate their strictly monitored...

"Why should Yua worry? I only have a couple years before my brain turns to mush, might as well help while I can!" He leaned on his cane and smiled as snakes swarmed the warband. The men danced like fools spinning and leaping from the biting mirages, spears twirling and slashing through thin air...

He contemplated the woman on their trip across town, a malaise gripped him and she lingered on his mind, a sense of dread for his place in the world. That more existed beyond the known universe, a gnashing maw of demons and devils with bile oozing from their mouths, eyes burning for everything...

They were accompanied by wondrous bugs bigger than birds, though perhaps wondrous wasn't the word they would use. Indeed they were gigantic and many bore long barbed stingers, venomous mandibles and colorful patterns — nature's way of saying please leave my lawn. They eyed the stomping apes who...

@Chordling Thanks for the positivity and taking an interest in the RP. It's about a group of people who were gathered for the Great Games of Nye, a tournament to entertain the masses of a morally dubious city named Nye. There was a terrorist attack and the cast survived the weapon used to kill...
