Historically speaking, this is true!
ETA: Because no one ever seems to learn the lessons of history.

@Narson I mean real history can’t teach us fuck all about arx but if you’re going to play a noble in a feudal society you should probably at least be minimally aware that your character is not in fact themselves a tenant farmer on someone else’s land

I’m a bit sad that leather armour has less of a purpose in the non-coded combat (and wow am I slow at this - these changes are old). I mean, the armour system in general has a few opaque parts to it (such as accessories etc) and I never really tried to master it. But it was nice when there was this choice.
-
@Narson I do wish there was a bonus to dodge rolls for wearing lighter armor. I say this with complete code ignorance but the vaguest idea that trying to account for that would probably be a giant pain in the ass.

I’d say that you could give folks different difficulty if they’re in leather vs armor (vs the magical stuff like steelsilk), but – it’s also pretty common for PCs to have a mix of any or all of the above.
There is some sort of calculation going on to assign characters a “Dodge Penalty” value that I imagine could be used in a coded manner, so I imagine it’d be more of just finding that balance. I’m also pretty code ignorant, but I suspect it wouldn’t be too terrible. There’s something in there to look for specific roll combinations for stuff like knacks, which would probably be another part. But someone would have to invest the time.

Ok, is there anything that feels like more of an rp fail than when someone you love is on your RS and it’s Sunday night and it’s too late to start a scene?
Because I can’t imagine it.
let it be a challenge to you

When you both acknowledge it, get excited about it, plan what but then never specify a date/time so it ends up not happening at all.

OH GOD I’M SO SORRY I FORGOT. And here I laughed every time it happened to you and Roz.

I’m begging everyone to put the names of characters in proclamations. I don’t know who tf the Count of House Someplace is. Sure, I can figure it out, but I don’t want to do research in order to read a proc. Please. Just add the names.

@farfalla Don’t you know who I AM!?

as previously stated, good day.

@Tez lmao well at least it’s both of us

Not Arx specific, but when the desire to RP just vanishes suddenly. Mega annoyed, going to go bash my head at the wall and see if that sparks new RP ideas or whatever.
Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!

@Jennkryst I hate this. Especially when like. You wanna rp, and you wanna rp, and you sit down at your computer and go to open the client and your brain just goes pffftt nah, blank.
let it be a challenge to you
-
@Jennkryst Even worse is when you’re on a good rp-streak and then something breaks it. I was just realizing that I had been rping a lot until an unpleasant OOC thing happened and I have barely played since. Come back, motivation.
-
@sao Remember that time I started a scene with you and like before I even posed I was immediately like “actually, nevermind”. Thanks for not murdering me.
