I feel like 1v1 is the "moving furniture" of an RPG friendship.

I'm more partial to 1x1's in theory, as they fit better into my busy schedule. However, there never seems to be anything interesting there anymore. All everyone ever posts in the int checks are pairings, no story or plot ideas. Also, it all way to over-sexualized and there never seems to be much originality in the pairings...

They CAN be just so, so great.

It's pretty much the smut side of RPG.

"Mature Romance"....I know your game son.

Pairing trees make me cringe like hell as well...

I concur. While the idea of perhaps a romance type situation occurring is warming, I feel as though any pairing would due, for instance a classic cop tale of two badass lawmen, or two astronauts exploring a new world. THERE IS SO MUCH TO DO, but yea most people just want to cyber.

That's not necessarily true guys. A lot of times you just want a laid back story that might have a touch of romance, but really allows for a collaboration of ideas.

Now, for some people, sure they're looking for a cyber situation, but for most they are just looking for a good story while not having to read 10 posts to posts.

No generalizations... they don't fit every scenario.

Oh of course, I'm not making a sweeping statement that all of the 1x1 side of things want to do smut and stuff...

I think that great stories can come from two minds collaborating together!

Sure, I like a little bit of romance now and again, it just doesn't have to be the main focus for a lot of 1x1's, like they kind of seem to be. If it happens, that's cool. If it adds to the development of characters...also really cool.

I just like to use romance/sex in taste...if that makes sense...

Much like the Witcher series! Sex is used tastefully.

I love a great story and my 1x1s are based on complexity and really more advanced writing. Now I'll do a fun short story with good friend now and against, but I find myself loving the 1x1 thing because it's completely different than a group. The dynamics change everything and if there is good chemistry with the players, then there is adventure and humor, love and fighting, tension and drama galore.

I could never play a game that was just romanced based - kill me.

Yeah, we're of the same mind then!

That's all that frustrates me about the 1x1 section, although there are some great RPs that have done some cool 1x1s without the unnecessary dating sim type trolip.

Well then, seems like I'm gonna have to get myself involved in a 1x1 sometime in the future, when I find a mature partner who I can create an intriguing story with!

And hey, I may have to take you up on the offer once we've had a chance to role play together in this Witcher RP :)

Actually, since we have a dragon with polymorphism, I may put a dragon of my own in, just with a multiform ability instead of polymorphism (meaning he has three different forms with unique abilities). I'd like to get some feedback before trying this, though, but he certainly won't be a dragonslayer.

With the way I've built the character I have in mind, it would certainly be interesting if I made an exception and said he's not immune to mind control and he were forced into his most powerful form until the spell was broken (this form would be his feral form, the one that walks on four legs and is huge like most dragons).

If enough people are okay with this, I'll do it. But I'll still be planning out a Witcher in case this doesn't go over too well.

Saskia isn't a dragonslayer. She earned that nickname, and the necessary prestige, so she could lead an independence movement in Vergen. Saskia *is* the dragon, so the slaying was staged. My two cents; don't take on another dragon. I'd say one in this rp is sufficient. We already have a good choice of interesting and powerful individuals and dragons are quite godly in their power and abilities.

Also, Kate you could fill in the bits we know about her in the bio concerning the events at Vergen and Loc Muinne. At the very least I'd like to know how Saskia broke free of Eilhart's spell. Don't want to be nitpicking even if it sounds like that. Rather be a bit annoying right now than have a future argument.

On a related note (careful game-spoilers): what happened to Eilhart? There is no 'one' known fate as it depends on your choices in the game. Does she live? Is she blind? Did she die?

1x1=smut 99% of the time. Not that that's bad.

My two cents... I hope people in here like to do collabs and the such, I need some more ethical and moral dilemmas for my character.

I figured it was a long shot, lol.

Since I haven't heard otherwise, I'll do a Witcher. I'll start on his sheet in a bit.

Only a certain number of witchers allowed love.

By the way... We can walk through anything you guys want, but we're not playing the game to my knowledge, we're free form playing in the game setting with a bit of history so for me who's never played... You get to picky and I'm going to have my sexy dragon eat you and swallow you in one gulp.

Be warned.

That's a bit beside the point :). I'm asking where we are starting off from to avoid false assumptions.
