Don't worry, I didn't write 15 pages of scone devouring purple prose, just had one of those moments of "What am I even doing right now?" mid post.
Lol, moments like that're fun. Admittedly, I have them a lot more often when I'm not the GM - mostly because when you're a GM you need to be a bit more structured to keep the plot moving - but sometimes even then I like to let loose a bit and just get into the character's head to make things have more depth. Generally speaking, I'm an avid lover of in-depth introspective posts and I go out of my way to do them myself when it'll avoid spoiling things.
Honestly, I thought it was a good opening post, and I like how it creates a stark contrast in dynamic between the two characters who've gotten introduced. Both of them are seemingly anxious and a bit melancholic, but then there's some direct opposites -- one of them is introduced with a very action-heavy scene to showcase they're a street smart slum kid of sorts (also tried to emphasize that he never lets a bad situation break his resolve, generally speaking, even if he is more tormented and down on his luck than he seems), while the other has a very calm and slow scene to emphasize they're a former author who likes to recluse away from the world (whose troubled nature also seems a lot more blatantly apparent). Both also had little bits of humour or snark tossed in, but it created different - though not inherently opposing - atmosphere for each of them.
At the very least I'm hoping I introduced Leonard well enough in everyone's eyes, but I personally like what you've done with Conrad.
Finally caught up with the updates. No problems for me, the language barrier sounds like fun though ahaha.
Good to know, and it should be fun indeed -- especially a bit later on.
By the way, I can't promise exactly
when it's coming, but there'll be a PM in the work for you once I've taken care of a few things for this thread.
@Aewin@Pudding@Melo@Ailyn Evensen@Snagglepuss89@tsukuneStatus update:
- As previously stated, 'The Rules' got an additional entry.
- Once again as stated previously, I'm now going to experiment a bit with formatting to see if I can work out my ideal stylization/atmospheric method. If I don't work it out before my next post, then I'll just edit all my posts once I finally settle -- I like my work to remain consistent with itself, even if I don't care if we're not all consistent with each other.
- With video game logic as the basis for this idea, 'The Glossary' will probably receive entries upon the first time a player character mentions it or is made aware of it, or in some cases when the players are made aware. These entries will not contain all their details immediately, so these status updates'll not only specify when entries are added but also when they're edited. With this in mind, thanks to Conrad bringing it up Tarot Cards now have an entry added to 'The Glossary'. I still haven't settled on the formatting of that section, so expect it to change a bit. I intend to remove the other entry currently there (potentially without warning) once I settle on how names of individuals who haven't been revealed properly - only implied - will get mentioned in the section for NPCs in the character tab. Consider this all a work in progress. I'm still not too comfortable about organizing 'The Glossary' into categories, but if someone can give me a list of decent categories that would cater to all possible entries then I might use their idea.
