Oh, and G-senjou no Maou - The Devil on G-String is a VN I cleared a bit ago. I think it took me 20-ish hours to finish, and that was alright. Certainly with the sale going you can do a lot worse for 10$. It's an alright mystery VN. It fluctuates between mediocre and good, but the things it does good are really good.

I think to sell someone on an interest check, it's really important to seem enthusiastic about your own idea. That means writing more than a single sentence to attract potential players.

Bio
W I T H R I G H T E O U S H A N D S
Did you know that Dante's inferno is called a divine comedy because things work out for the protagonist? Back in the day, the only two genres were comedy and drama. The only difference was that in a comedy, the protagonist is better off at the end, and a drama is the opposite. So that's why a story about going through hell can still be considered a comedy, even if it's not funny.
Name:
Broken Promise, BP, Boss
Age:
Old enough to know better, too young to care. (that is to say 30's)
Preferred RPs:
I Prefer to make my own, but will occasionally join something if it looks interesting. I'll join just about anything so long as it isn’t overly edgy/sweet, though it's rare for me to do. I don't do 1x1s too often either.
Preferred Roles:
I tend to play adorable characters everyone wants to befriend or proper assholes everyone wants to stay away from. I try not to play moral paragons or prime evils.
RP Conquests:
I've completed quite a few RP's off site, but most of them are on private forums or have simply been lost to the ravages of server crashes. As for stuff here, I'm sure everyone who sees me post in the off topic sections has seen me find an excuse to talk about Danganronpa: Tower of Carnage. It's a project that took over 4 years to complete and I feel pride not only for myself but all the wonderful people who helped make it enjoyable during its run. Re: Zero: The High Council Is technically my first, but it was just something I kind of took over and ended up ending the story after just six months. It finished, but eh...
Last RP I finished was Symphony of Espers which turned out pretty good.

RP's in progress:
For some reason I can't seem to stay away from Ari's magical girl RP, even if I'm not sure why I'm still in it.
As for my own projects, I'm doing Symphony on High to continue the gigachad adventures of the espers in Pax Septimus.

RP Graveyard:
I've been pretty fortunate on this forum. I think I joined one when I first came on the site that didn't really do anything, and there are a few 1x1 things that didn't go anywhere. It's disappointing when an RP ends before it can be finished, but I've come to look at them as learning experiences.
And then there's that london magical girl RP, and that dark magical girl RP. I think I'm done joining magical girl RPs for a while.

Music
I watch a lot of educational videos on youtube. Usually as research for something I’m writing or purely because a topic interests me. I like channels like Tier Zoo and Daryl Talks Games, and I’ll also watch things like Critical Drinker or Literature Devil to deepen my understanding of story telling. Though I also like memes and jokes, to which I’ll find myself watching stuff like Sseth, but usually find myself surfing through meme videos. I gotta work on that.
Games
I have a rather long history of playing virtually every platformer to come into existence during the indie boom, as well as quite a few other indie games. I’ve played Meatboy, Binding of Issac, Gunvolt, Cuphead, Princess Remedy in a World of Hurt, Classic Metroid, Warcraft 3, Final Fantasy 7,8, and 14, Left 4 Dead, Shantae, Celeste, Danganronpa, God Eater, the list goes on. What I’ve played is kind of all over the place. I don’t play many games these days, I tend to pick things that look interesting and go on a decent steam sale.
Painting Minis
I do this in moderation. Otherwise, it's a pretty expensive hobby to start...
Music
I listen to everything, save most country/rap songs. I have too many favorites to name.
Personality:
Not one to take life or the internet too seriously. Is only serious about writing well and having a good time.
People to Insult:
Dalton is a Dingus.

Present game backlog looks something like this:
Muv-Luv Alternative: I'm about 20 hours in, but I really like that this game is just uncomfortable and/or underground enough that not everyone and their brother is talking about it, so I'll refrain from saying anything about it here. Just that it's a well constructed world, even if the infodumps can be long at times.
SYNTHETIK: A rouge-lite where you're an android blowing up other androids and robots and oh my god how did I die I had so much HP and a killer weapon that got .5% stronger every time I head shot and I had 200% extra damage. If You're done with Hades, it's worth a look.
Gris: Haven't even started it, but I like the art style and I know I'm going to be in the mood for a pretentious platformer like that at some point.
God Eater 3: I've only played it a little bit, and it's kind of easy. What few reviews I looked at says it starts to present a challenge after 10 hours. Hard to recommend just yet, but it's similar enough to god eater 1 & 2 that you can probably pick it up if you like those games.
The Fruit of Grisaia: Haven't started it, and I won't until Muv-Luv Alternate is done. But I was recommended it by a connoisseur of VNs, so I'm expecting good things.
Tales of Berseria: Only put a few hours on this one, but so far it's as good as any other "tales of" game. That is to say the story is "meh" leaning, with too many contrivances to be taken seriously. But the active take on turn based fights where you string together combos and dodge/block in real time. I personally find Velvet's selfish quest for revenge and find her gothic-level teen edge amusing.

@Ammokkx Just checked, Leviathan is a server on the Primal datacenter, so there should be no problems.
@Ammokkx If I get back into it, they made it pretty easy to visit other people's worlds and quest together. The only thing you can't really do off server is join a FC or squat in someone's mansion.
But I picked up some steam games, and I'm still going through Muv-Luv Alternative, which is a 50 hour visual novel. So it'll be a bit before my cat grill returns to play.

Also triple triad is amazing. Against people or bots.
@PPQ Purple Woah woah woah! FF14 is loads of fun! It's just more fun to enjoy with other people. Playing a dungeon by yourself is a lot like playing cards against humanity by yourself. Just because playing cards against humanity by yourself isn't as fun as with a bunch of your friends doesn't make it an inferior game to say, solitaire. CAH and FF 14 are both fun with people because working together/competing is what the game is all about!

Darkest Before the Dawn: A CYOA Magical Girl Roleplay [Completed]

Forum: Casual Roleplay
“Grim light human epiphany.”
— Aighorost
Have any of you ever considered why you were born? What the mission of the human race is? Surely it has to be something more interesting than surviving. I also don’t prescribe to the idea of nihilism: That we’re all essentially meaningless entities that can achieve nothing in our short lifespans. It’s certainly an interesting idea, but it’s much too pessimistic for my tastes.
In order to figure this out, we have to look at everyone and try to draw a connection between them. After all, everyone seems to be programmed with different desires. Some people want to become scientists, others want to be rock stars. We have people who want a family or a spouse, a new toy to play with, a better job, porn to watch. It seems like humans are diverse in their desires and goals. I’ll admit it took me some time to realize what the goal of all human existence is, but I’m willing to share my discovery with you.
It’s to create memories.
That’s the one thing all of these activities have in common. Everything we do is to create a lasting memory. We watch movies and go to theme parks for unforgettable experiences. Our greatest triumphs are solidified in our mind. Yes, our greatest failures and least favorite pass times may also create a lasting memory, even if we’d rather not have it. But we freely share them all the same. What do the old do but share their memories, good or ill, with the next generation?
It’s kind of interesting to think about the things that make memories. We often remember when we try new things. If we enjoyed them, we tend to stick with them for long periods of time. Though the irony is that the longer we do something, the fewer memories it yields. Watch a great movie a hundred times if you’d like, but the unchanging details will not make new memories.
By the way, have any of you figured out who we are yet?
”I’m back, baby!”
— Nuncio
@DarkwolfX37@Shifter_Master@twave@Flamelord
Nuncio’s presence was picked up again by snoopy, and not long afterwards, he came out of the crowd and stood beside Rosa.
“I got word from Sammy. I was anticipatin’ somethin’ like this.” Nuncio patted Rosa’s side. “But it seems I was a little slow on the draw. Dame can only see so far into the future.” His eyes squinted when they fell on Shion. “Can’t say I’m too familiar with her though. But if Rosa trusts her, so do I.” Nuncio looked around, as if some apex predator might be hiding in the crowd somewhere. Once he was satisfied, he extended a hand to Shion. “I’m Nuncio.”
“You’re welcome, Seppa!”
— Oros
The exchange between Penny and the two mysterious individuals did not go unnoticed. something lurked nearby…
Earlier…
Needless to say, Oros was not the type to linger in one spot for long. She was able to fashion herself a new nose and was quick to sniff out another place of interest. The sanctuary ended up being her choice, especially since it was teaming with the scent of the Mint. It bothered her to try and ally with them, but it was important if her plan was going to work. Thanks to her keen hearing, it wasn’t hard to pick out where they were, or what they were planning.
“I figure we start smashing her surveillance net and Penny will come running eventually. Then we lead her on a merry chase, and pull her into the Overcity.”
Typical Mint, here for business rather than pleasure. It probably wasn’t a good idea to approach them just yet.
Hah! Like Oros cared what they wanted!
She was about to meet with Seppa when she saw an innocent looking girl with her hands clasped together in prayer. Perhaps the trial was making her uneasy. Didn’t matter, Oros was going to-
Shit! That adorable girl looked straight at Oros and smiled! Well, she was cute, but Oros had Emily, so-
No! Now Oros was also smiling! Now she was walking over to her! None of this was part of the plan she made five seconds ago!
Now…
The sound of a spear exploding pulled Oros out of her make out session. She promptly transformed into a small dog and scampered away. Hopefully that was enough to break away from some background character who hopefully won’t turn into a GMNPC. But those cute types were really irresistible. Though anyone who was down for making out ten seconds in was probably not worth her time. Regardless, she had to assess the situation, and that meant going somewhere she could actually see Penny.
Seppa running off was just uncool. She had a hard time believing that an organization that helped bring so many alternate dimensions to ruin was so short sighted to have to bail as soon as one of their men suddenly vanished. But wait, this was part of their plan, wasn’t it? They were going to get Penny to chase them. Regardless, that wasn’t working. Everyone treated Penny like she was some force to be reckoned with, like she had no equal, or her equal was ten other magical girls. It wasn’t unreasonable to behave like that. Penny was pretty strong in all the worlds Oros had visited, but she did have equals. Either way, didn’t matter. If Seppa couldn’t bring her to the overcity, Oros would.
As Oros drew closer, she untransformed. The dark shadow of an alternate dimension loomed around her as she walked closer. Oros’s ability to shift was a bit different than most girls. It wasn’t a quick, instantaneous flip to another world. All the same, Penny wasn’t looking in her direction, and Nuncio and Shion seemed to be looking at each other. If someone tried to stop her, they would be too late.
“Banzaiiiiiiiii!”
Oros broke into a sprint and jumped towards Penny. When her shift activated, she’d bring along everyone in close proximity to Penny.
As for what waited in the overcity, that was for the GMs to decide.
Or maybe Oros got cucked somehow, idk.
”This is the second time I got cucked by a collab.”
”Hard to call yourself cucked when you're being fucked over.”
— Viridian?
Sigh…
Viridian’s portal closed. She’d have run into the mansion, but there were slightly more pressing things afoot. Unfortunately, her ability to relay information to her agents was being interfered with. Something bad was going to happen unless she could somehow be in two places at once. The only way she could do that was if she was two magical girls, which was actually doable.
She just hoped her stitches didn’t come undone from this.
First order of business was clearing the UNSPECIFIED POWER OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN. This could be achieved by simply jumping. Viridian hadn’t displayed her physical prowess much, but anyone looking at her now would see her flying into the sky like a rocket. She was pretty sure she could jump out of the barrier, but she was more concerned with her attire. On her way down, there wouldn’t be a lot she could do to prevent her dress from lifting and revealing her undergarments. She supposed it didn’t matter too much. So long as her agents weren’t distracted, she didn’t care. As soon as she cleared the UNSPECIFIED POWER OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN, she made contact with someone.
”We’ve had a bit of a hickup. “ Normally cross dimensional communication would be blocked, but both Viridian and her partner had keys to access Mariette’s dimension. and it was starting to break down.
”Of course you did.” Viridian’s conversation partner had Viridian’s memories of the event placed in her head already. ”You are aware having me show up now would set back my plans?”
”So would failing here, especially if ya lost all ya agents. ” Viridian had almost reached the peak of her jump. ”I ain’t here to negotiate, ya either going to help, or ya ain’t.”
Of course, Viridian was sure that her friend would come as fast as a hiccup. In the end, her friend was a vain one. Beyond the schemes and the plans for world domination was a woman that wanted to be seen. For what purpose not even Viridian knew. She was certainly in the wrong business, but Viridian wasn’t really in a place to complain. She hadn’t been subtle in her business here, and she knew it.
”Very well, prepare for my arrival.”
It was time.
The UNSPECIFIED POWER OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN had done quite a bit to prevent all the rampant teleportation from happening in the world below, but the weakened dimension itself had some holes in its otherwise protective membrane. Where there had once been only two entrances there were now many more. A shadow seeped through a crack in the sky and joined with Viridian’s hand. Not long after, a red haired woman came out of the shadow, fingers locked with Viridian’s own. Both girls had similar body shapes and height, but the stranger wore a blood red cape and a skin conforming body suit that was as black as night.
”Howdy, sister!”
”Keep the banter to a minimum on the field.” The scarlet stranger looked down. She had already formed a plan in her head, and had sent a copy of it over to Viridian. ”Is that acceptable?”
”Of course!”
The two kicked off of each other, before they plummeting into the battlefield.
@Majoras End
The scarlet stranger landed in close proximity to Eliza. Some debris were kicked up by her landing, but she had no problem rising to her feet. Eliza would notice this new girl had the red aura of a cradle agent. Even a UNSPECIFIED POWER OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN couldn’t snuff that out. ”Eliza, now is your chance to put an end to Justine. Sonia must be dealt with before this magic field dissipates.”
@FamishedPants
Further away, Viridian had an equally dramatic landing not far off from Silhouette’s location. ”Seems Sonia is down on her luck. Let’s keep it that way.”
SYNTHETIK Is pretty fun, even if I suck at it.
I played ff 14, beat everything up to the end of Shadowbringers but my subscription ended before I could do any of the end of game content.
I think the greatest flaw with MMOs is just how bare bones a lot of them are before you get further into the game. I don't think I've ever booted up an MMO and thought to myself "hellz yea! these early levels are so fun and challenging!" your most challenging content is always going to be found inside dungeons, or raids, or stuff like that. Massively multiplayer online games are, ya know, massively multiplayer for a reason. multiplayer is the appeal. Not playing an MMO with other people is like, really silly. It feels like the early levels are to learn controls and just find people to party with. From there, you can join a guild and have people help you find whatever you need for the annoying fetch quests.
The story for FF 14 is good, but like everything else in the game, you need to work your way past the base game to enjoy all the cool content. A realm reborn is painfully vanilla, then you get to Heavensward and stuff gets better quickly. Post stormblood and pre Shadowbringers was also interesting.
Me though, I like playing scholar. it's a lot faster to que up.

Perhaps @LegendBegins can make a sub/notification feature like RPN has? All mod notifications and updates are delivered directly to your notification inbox there. Newsletters, contests, donation support for RPN, etc. I Feel something like that could be of use here.
Ehhh, I kind of like having PMs for PMs. That is to say personal messages.
We do have a spot where contest mods can draw attention to contests. I would think the simplest solution would be to just make a few more spots like that on the sidebar. Though I confess I am not aware what the code looks like, so I dunno how viable that would be.
