I was thinking while we're waiting, why don't we kind of do one of those first impression/ opinion exercises that your character would have about the group? That or do some OOC prologue posts to establish our characters at some point so we get a feel for them and their previous adventures?

I'd be happy to write a collab with someone tonight when I have a chance to sit down and do some proper writing, Skall will probably be process of 'fortifying his stamina' and regaling the party with some of his 'epic' feats of heroism.

I had thought Lord Vensor and Raelynn would have found some common ground with how they both come from wealthy background, though Vensor is currently rather far from that. But I don't think he'd mix into your conversation with Skall particularly well, so my first post might well be a solo endeavour. A grumpy old man by thethe fireside, what's not to like?

Yeah, could just write solo posts and incorporate the discussion into those too, should work. I'm fine with whatever people see as the correct option for them.

This almost scared me for a minute there when I logged on today.

On the nature of collabs, I don’t like them. I prefer to post solo posts and work off others – I understand that’s not really popular but it’s also the way I’ve been RPing for a the greater part of nearly two decades. I had never run into the concept until I became a member of RPG. That said, I will have to figure out how Sjara is going to act in this campfire scene regardless if I get talked into a collaboration or not.

But I also think it can create organic dialogue when done properly.

I find collabs make conversations amongst characters way more natural and less awkward, since otherwise you end up having stilted monologing back and forward with some forced observations and reflection to make the post length acceptable.
