[Wandering Grim Hollow]

Wandering Grim Hollow just to let you know, it's your turn to post. Not rushing you but, just saying

I'm in the middle of writing it up.

Listen, my D&D party's sessions are just a huge series of unfortunate events, we killed a baby wyvern with napalm, we set out to find some poor old mans son only to find him and accidentally lose him during a botched bank robbery (not the same robbery, mind you).

Damn, your sessions sound fun af.

POST, POST, POST.

Hush you. You have your own post to handle.

Hush you. You have your own post to handle.

They're about 15 minutes of fun followed by 2 hours of "oh dear christ how do we recover from this?"

You also described Jean's attire and the blackhands' attire too. For me as a writer, this is my weakness, it's especially difficult to describe someone's physical characteristics.

Anyways, I do have to go to school now...

That's the most fun part. Just tossing away skill, and plain describing everything.

Anyway, schoolio.

A little improvement goes a long way into your development, Eleph, remember that. The difficulty threshold in reading your sentences used to be something like 4 but you winded it down to 3. So yes, keep refining your craft, Eleph!

YEZ! Indeed, I can feel my writing improving. Y'know, that gut feeling you get when you know you're doing something good, or have done something nice.

Also, Walter is different. He has been hardened to violence because of too much exposure to it. He can commit savage acts of violence and not bat an eye because he's seen it countless times. It's like he's died so much inside already...

In fact, he's the perfect hero comedic sociopath because he treats violence as part of a slapstick comedy. Which is why he views war as nothing but slapstick with just a dash of blood and gore here and there...

Yep, that's why he's de perfacto for character development. Jean's just a dumb bastarde with an attitude, and who doesn't mind killing every now and then; but Walter's a different case. His is more absolute.

It'd be nice to see him regaining his humanity and finding the ultimate resolution for his many war crimes.

But mine isn't as intensely short-paced as yours, mind you. Jean is too cool for time.

My posts don't need to be needlessly long.

 

[Historical Storyteller]

My posts don't need to be needlessly long.

Ladies, ladies! Calm down, you both look beautiful.

 

[Elephantom]

My posts don't need to be needlessly long.

Sorry, yours do need to be needlessly long, Hollow. Just describe everything, add detail and fluidity to the movement of your characters, and add lots of acerbic snark.

 

[Elephantom]

Ladles? I've got this iron ladle, but it's far from beautiful and all blackened from heat and heated oil.

 

[Historical Storyteller]

Ah, I lack the level of detail you give, Eleph, so I make my entire post filled with snark and outrageous situations.

 

[Historical Storyteller]

OK, I'LL LEAVE ON YOUR LAST REPLY.

I'LL GO TO SCHOOL/HELL NOW!

That's how you know you're playing D&D correctly.

I actually find it quite distressing that I see that so little on this site. xD I used to play on AOL and describing features and attire were a given, it's just what one did when they posted.

 

[Elephantom]

Ah, I lack the level of detail you give, Eleph, so I make my entire post filled with snark and outrageous situations.

Yessir, and that's why you're the master of wits here. Hella damn, your post's are more brilliantly bitter than mine; damn it, I'm just plain excited for Walter's appearance. Can't wait for snarky character interactions and devious, fruitless plotting.

THANKS.

OK, GOT TO GO.

And that's why I enjoy reading your posts.

Heh. You sound like a narcissist. And that's not all bad I guess. To each their own as I say.

It was really just a habit I picked up from books. I find it gleeful when character's are given depth appearance-wise.

If you haven't read it yet, Jean's really just looking like a pirate in the flashbacks.

 

[Elephantom]

And that's why I enjoy reading your posts.

Thanks for the complimento. Narcissism is the infinitesimal element of the elephantom person and likely will be for decades.

SO, WRITE WORDS, HOLLOW. WORDS!!!

 

[Roleplay Skittle]

I tend to adapt to how the people I play with are playing. xD so I have tried to skim on my descriptions of my characters.

 

[Nogoodname]

That's how you know you're playing D&D correctly.

mhm! Also never play a race that's average height is a size small under the games rules, you will be thrown that is not an option.

I've tried it in the past and it's just horrible, I'm trying to improve but generally I tend to just stick to pictures when I'm not experimenting with it again.

DON'T DO THAT, skittle.

One thing I learned in the writing business, is that you've got to have your own style of writing, that people can instantly recognize without seeing your name; it should be unique, it should stand out.

Well my posts depend on the person I'm playing as and the mood.
Hanako's is lacking in detail due to her status as a ronin, she'd rather focus on truly important things like food, water, her weapons (Scotty is going to have an easy fight later) and her goals of course.

My next two characters will be different too. The Chaotic Neutral is gonna be snarky and devious while the other is... I'm not sure yet.

Unless you're playing a Halfling Paladin. Than getting thrown is not only guaranteed, but incredibly ideal.

This is why I love D&D, you get to pull the most insane shit, have you heard of the peasant railgun?

No, but I already love it.
