Ohhhhh geez. Yeah, that's pretty bad. A personality type =\= a character. Haha. There's so much more to it than that. It's the practical expression of those personality traits combined with learned behaviors and complex psychology and processing through years of specific events, and that's even...
Great thoughts! I don't think I'm familiar with OCEAN or MMPI. Yeah, tests with general scope are far better for academic research and business application.
Hey Chaos! I'm in exactly the same boat you are, diving back into roleplay for the first time in like ten years. Hope you find a good partner/group and clear out the cobwebs.
Growth is not always linear, especially in the creative arts. Who you were and the way you saw things changed, and your voice changed because of that. What's important is that you learn to be okay with your writing, because you can never be anyone but yourself, and no one else will ever be you...
One of the best rules for writing I ever learned is that every line is either an action or a reaction. Start there. React to what was said or what happened, reflect on what your character would do, and then take an action in response. Think "out loud" at first and then edit it a little before...
Honestly, I picked up D&D and built my own campaign from scratch before I ever knew how to do it well, and it turned out fine! Read up on the rules, maybe run a couple mock battles with custom characters and monsters to get a feel for it, and then just dive in. Geek and Sundry has some great DM...
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen is one of my favorite RPGs of all time, and they just remastered it for PS4. Fully customizable player character, fully customizable sidekick. Big, scary fantasy world with giant monsters and wide varieties of playstyles and an amazing story. It's tough to get into...
My first time playing through Dead Space was in the middle of the night with GOOD gaming headphones and I almost cried a coulle times and broke furniture.
Oooh man, I've had some ideas about Urban Fantasy for a long time and never put them down in text. I'd love to throw some ideas back and forth if you're interested.
Hey everyone, I'm a big personality quiz fan, and I used to spend a lot of time narrowing down my characters' personalities by Meyers Briggs type so I could get into their heads. Recently I discovered the Enneagram, and it's a much more fluid system that offers a lot of diversity and room for...
Hello! I think there are a lot people who get into roleplay as an outlet to combat their self-doubt about writing and to brush up on their skills, so you're in good company!
Hello everyone, I'm Mr. Fox, and it's wonderful to be here. I've been into roleplaying for a very long time, but this is the first time in years I've gotten onto a forum to write. I'm a musician and an avid reader, and I just want to meet some new people and write some wonderful stories. Excited...
