Current Sad to say I'm currently experiencing Writer's Block. Luckily I learned Writer's Kung Fu and I can chop the block in half with my hands like Bruce Lee

Why is the sun like bread? It rises in the yeast, and sets in the waist. Haha! Isn't that so cute? Join my RP or more puns will come.

What's the difference between a Hollywood actor and a piece of driftwood? One is Justin Timberlake. The other is timber, just in a lake. Hahathisiswhati'mdoinginsteadofwriting

Hey, folks: I've just kicked off an RP, a fantasy where you can worldbuild as much as you can adventure. So if, like me, you like worldbuilding nearly as much as writing, check out Pilgrim's Caravan

That moment when losing a character in a rougelike makes you want to shed tears. No backup. It's gone.

Bio

Current RP I want you to join: roleplayerguild.com/topics/191461-car…

Hey y'all. I've been at this for about 10 years, and I've played a lot of kinds of RP. I like fantasy and sci-fi the most, just because they give me the most to play around with, but I'm cool with almost anything. I just like writing.

Appreciate it, guys <3
RP is still coming. Planned launch date is now tomorrow.

I had... some kind of seizure, or panic attack, or something yesterday. I don't know exactly what it was. I lost control of my body completely, couldn't stand or hold anything, just thrashing around on the floor. It's not the first time. I don't know if it will impact my ability to write, so my priority is now getting the first post up and kicking things off for y'all.
Hey guys, still planning to kick off the RP tonight, but it's taking longer than I wanted, partially because I'm still wrapping up my own sheet. It's not very large or glamorous or anything. I've just been a lil under the weather, physically and mentally, this week, so stuff is running slower than I expected.

I am pretty proud of the hider I just finished for my dude's form of magic, tho.

@Crusader Lord

Knossos is approved!! You're a born worldbuilder, as always. I like him.

@Tortoise

Unless you already noticed I mean, or like, ah....sorry. (T_T)


Of course I've already seen it, worry not. I just know you lean towards longer sheets, so I figured I'd kill some smaller projects before getting your sheet. Is coming.
OK, I'm done with my beastkin.



Approved. Really, I shoulda read this one in the same batch as @Smike and @Irredeemable. We seem to have lots of canine-types hanging around. I don't know if you'll form a three-way friendship to last the eons or rip each other to pieces.

With the talk about getting ripped and the over-emphasis on being stronk, your werewolf has got some gym-bro vibes. I don't know how I feel about it, but I hope to at least once hear him asking Malleck "BRO, do you even lift??"
Whew! Save for a grammar once over my characters should be done, lemme know if something needs to change @Tortoise





Approved, obviously, these are two near-perfect sheets. I really look forward to seeing how Ryt and Thozna's relationship flows through the RP



Took me longer than anticipated, but here it is!


You already know you're approved.

Yours and Smike's charactes already have some tension bubbling. I love it, and also will attempt to subtly add to it, because stirring the pot is the most fun a GM has.
Hey guys, been off line a couple of days. I'm back now. Sheet reviews and whatnot to follow later today.
I am so tempted to make another character, specifically a beastman. If I wasn't lazy today...


Take your time! But I do have a soft spot for beast folk

Further sheet reviews (and a reply to your PM, Magus) to be completed tomorrow.

I was originally going for a more unrepentant serial killer vibe, but I think this'd be more fun to play, and also mesh better with the cast. So, yay!


Oh, big agree.

Besides, it gives him more complexity. Anyone can do a vapid serial killer- but, really? Evil is boring. As writers, we try to pretend that the morally black is fascinating, but real tyrants and murderers are usually so empty inside that there's nothing to explore. They did what they did because they wanted to, because it gave them power or satisfaction, and half of them frankly will tell you so themselves. There aren't any layers. It's only when you're in the struggle to be good that all the interesting stuff can really happen.

To help with making a calendar, how many days are there in a year for this world? What are the days of the week, the name of months? How many days are in a month, typically?


Alwyne is a massive world, so how different places do the calendar will vary as we explore. But for the sake of simplicity, we'll say that 365 days still make a year there, as they do here, and how months/weeks are divided up will depend on where we're at. (But it's the kind of thing I expect will never come into the RP, you know? I am a practical GM. I wouldn't worry about a calendar, if I were you, unless you just wanna make one for fun. And in that case, go wild and come up with something, just remember that other players might not necessarily use it for their destinations. :P)
