Okay, so the other day I was forced to get a new phone after my Galaxy 6+ finally died after 5 glorious years. I was able to get most of my stuff transferred to the new phone, but the battery died after a partial app transfer. Which forced me to go reload a bunch of stuff. Long story short, while hunting for apps to re-install, I came across some new sorts of games that got me thinking.

It might be interesting and a neat sort of challenge to try some Improv sandbox roleplaying. Toss up a random setting with a random plot device or few, and play from a dead drop insertion point. Let the players figure out the finer points of their characters, and even the world they are in as they go.

High School Life and smut are my no-go zones. College life and romance are fine. I'm just too old for that other stuff to have any appeal.

I can play either gender. I tend to be better at playing dudes. I have a habit of playing boring chicks, but.. maybe sandboxing can help that too. I dunno. I do, however, tend to think outside the box with characters. Which has made more than one DM throw things at me. O.o* I slapped the Fantasy tag simply because I tend to play characters as non-cookiecutter as I am. -shrug-

FYI, my body and life tend to be rather chaotic so I have no idea what my schedule is from one day to the next. I am also a player on the spectrum so it may take me a bit longer to pound out a response. My brain's cpu is absurdly slow at times. :P I'll do my best to keep up.
Aye. Indeed this is true.
Sadly the group fell apart after the GM bailed. I, however, am still hopeful to find a new group for this. I went all out preparing for a PF2 adventure, even buying most of the core books. So I'm quite sad that nothing really happened. If anyone is interested in trying to get together a group for PF2, I really want to be a part of it.
Also interested.

Edit: Ack! Sorry, misread the post. Not really into smut. -tries to hide under a rock-
Apologies for getting silent. I had to send my furbaby of 12 years over the rainbow bridge the Monday before Halloween/Samhein and shut down most of my activities for a while. Attempting to crawl back out of my cave of mourning. ANYway...

I love seeing how many people would be interested in this sort of thing. I'll admit that I tend to suck when it comes to plots, but have strengths in the world-building side of things. I do like an animal clans idea. It also seems to be a prevalent theme that also allows for creativity. It feels to me like a multiple realms connected to the mortal realm might be too large a playing field and that we would be wiser to have things play out on a mortal realm stage. Beyond that I have no idea. Is there a city or otherwise location where people can brush shoulders like in Spirited Away? Or shall it be a scrolling adventure following a party of people on a mission? I dunno. Toss your thoughts out here. Surely we can brainstorm something.
Lately I've been binge-watching various Chinese fantasy series on Netflix and a few have sparked a desire to return to Asian medieval supernatural/mythical fantasy.

I'm best with Japanese and more common Chinese folklore, but willing to learn.
Willing to play romance or adventure or both. Though, please no tragic endings.
Would prefer to play original characters and settings but I might be wiling to play within a fandom.

I have no ideas for plot yet, just an intense craving to play around in this setting. I'll probably choose a character with an animal clan background, though whether it will be phoenix, dragon, fox, kirin, or whatever.. I have no idea yet. I can choose that based on what any interested players want to do.

Doesn't have to be 18+ either. I just hit that tag in case someone wants to go that route with a Romance theme.
A few things first.
- I don't care how you write as long as I can understand it and there's enough for me to build on.
- I like sap in romances. Light bondage and plot grit is fine as long as there is sap and comedy to balance it out.
- My muse is hit and miss these days so I'll need help with plots. Also I'm shit at thinking up conflict ideas in most cases.
- My schedule is unpredictable and my old fart brain is forgetful and very ADD these days. I can't describe how much I hate being as such. Please keep me talking in ooc. Apologies for the baggage. My discord is running whenever I'm online. It's a lifeline. Feel free to pester me in it.
- Looking for more story than smut. Adult scenes are fine when story appropriate.
- I don't really have character pictures for any of my characters here. Pictures aren't required for partners either. I tend to prefer art to real, but honestly I don't really care either way.

Onto the plot cravings.


I haven't played Pathfinder stuff before, but I would certainly be willing to give it a shot if someone's willing to show me the ropes. :3
not jack happening
Apologies if this post looks like a mess. My brain feels like it's in a washer with options getting randomly selected. @_@

Whatever I play in, regardless of time or place or genre, fantasy should be involved somehow. Because life without it is frick'n boring. XD Also, I love injecting humor even if it's making my own characters trip over their own feet for the sake of the amusement of players and other characters involved. Even if I'm in a serious setting. Because laughter is healthy for the soul. Also also, I like to play characters with one or more unusual quirks. Breaking stereotype molds is fun. lol I can do romance, but would prefer to keep out of bedroom scenes. At least for now anyway.

I can play either gender, though I'll point out that for some odd reason I'm better at playing guys. My dude characters tend to be far more interesting. I'm a disgrace to my own gender as a chick in so many ways. lol

Possible Settings
-Supernatural type creatures living hidden in plain sight among humans in the modern world living the daily grind. (I tend to play shifter+ types in these and not typical ones. I love characters that have at LEAST one thing totally oddball about them.)

-An alchemy driven steampunk world in a pocket universe where the lost end up only do be held like creatures in a fantastically furnished zoo by the world's creation goddess who lies hidden like a shadow in the fabric of everything there. (I have more to this setting idea and would be happy to take it to a group level at some point with Mystery kinda driving it. However, I suck at writing conflict plots so the strategizing might have to come from someone smarter at that than me. :P)

-Perhaps something in medieval Japan? I would love to play a samurai (not big on playing a ninja, though I could associate with them). Maybe defend my Lord's daughter or something? I dunno. I've seen so much art of people playing in Feudal Japan RPs and have the basic cultural knowledge for it. But I haven't really gotten to do anything original in it. (Yes, I was a MASSIVE Inuyasha and Rurouni Kenshin fan. Also Samurai Deeper Kyo and Hakuoki.♥♥♥ Guys with long hair playing with swords are hot. XD)

-I have a couple of ideas of characters fleaing a plague in their part of the Fae Realms and ending up in some random other world after yeeting themselves out of the nearest portals with no destination goal save a different realm. Did the character escape the plague or did he/she contract it too? This plague can only be caught by other faefolk. Whether this is understood or not by those in the world they end up in is also a factor up in the air.

Hopefully, there's enough details here to help me find some folks to play with. Happily willing to answer questions and such.
