@junipersky We play in a sphere where mine is a support character, his is sphere. Even as a support character I have been going out and doing as much as I can on my own. I’ve hit the point where that’s becoming problematic. I tried to explain this. I have no control over how he feels about what I said. I never shook my finger at him, told him he sucks or anything of the sort.
-
@Wyrmsign did not in fact give me grief over my RL, and I never said they did. I said that I was feeling like the bad guy because my lack of available time was causing /them/ grief.
How it made me feel is on me, not on them. Being overworked, overstressed, and not sleeping is probably making me take it in more of an emotional sledgehammer way than I usually would, and I’ll admit that.
If moving on will make them happy, then I wish them the best. I really do. I’m just disappointed it happened and was expressing that disappointment.
-
I’m confused now. Anyone else confused now?
I’m am sorry people are feeling bad.
-
@junipersky Long story short…my RL blew up. They aren’t having fun anymore because of it and want to move on. I’m overly stressed, emotional, and having a depressive episode and took it hard, making me feel like shit.
Nobody is in the wrong here, my emotions just are fucked up right now and I thought throwing it out to the ether would be therapeutic.
I was wrong, and probably just made it worse.

@imstillhere This feels particularly prevalent and particularly bad on comic book games. Like, part of Peter Parker’s THING is that he’s poor. If Iron Man is going to adopt him and move him into Stark Tower and showering him with money and bring Aunt May with him… that’s taking away some of who Peter IS.

I haven’t RP’d in awhile and I forgot all about the ‘there can be only one girl’ player. You know the one that will immediately perceive nearly all other female PCs as threats and ignore them when a male PC is present and otherwise be weirdly passive aggressive about everything because you might take their man.
Lady, I just want to kill zombies. You can have all the dicks. I don’t want them.

"I wish to warn you about her behaviors and emotions.
btw will you go hang this creepy painting of mine up in in someone’s house? I was told to respect people’s boundaries and I have no idea what that word means.

I am very honest."

Peeve:
I have two of them
-
When people make up reasons to get you off a game when logs clearly show that their accusations are completely false.
-
When you cheat by taking a power and you add special effects like (it’s oh so addictive and feels so good to the target) for your own jollies.
Oh, it looks like I have a third.
When you manipulate someone OOCly by offering to spy on someone else so you can eventually hook up with them. And then use 2 as a reason and cheat along the way.
That is all.

That is well fucking hell!

When running a game, please pick a game system that you actually want to run and are more or less happy with as written. Why aggravate yourself and your players by trying to houserule Dungeons and Dragons into feeling like Everway? Wouldn’t everyone be happier if you just used Everway to start with?
-
Because it’s basically inevitable that there’ll be some aspects of your chosen game system you’re unhappy with, try to identify them and houserule them away before you open the floodgates to the world.
-
If there’s something you missed in steps one and two and you don’t notice it until the game’s been open for a while, consider just leaving it alone, even if it irks you. If it hasn’t come to your attention by now, it might not actually be as much of a problem as you think.
-
If you are absolutely certain that the thing you missed for several years is a problem worth houseruling away, at least try to set out all your new houserules at once and ideally include some things that will make players happy along with them.
I get it. Some game systems are kind of broken. Some things don’t start to become problematic until a game’s been going for a while. It happens, and I support fixing problems that really need to be fixed. I just don’t want to play Calvinball, you know?

@Autumn What game are you referring to that did that?!?

Like… most games that use a tabletop system will do one or all of those things at some point in their existence, in whole or in part.

I got it in my head to work on an old game idea I’d pitched a while back, but I keep finding myself ruminating on whether or not it’s worth it when the hobby is so full of creeps and dramatics. I’d really like to do some storytelling and facilitate some fun experiences for folks, but I don’t know if I have the time and energy to spend trying to keep assholes from ruining it for everyone.
-
As far as I go these days, I’m back in that “I’m wondering if this hobby is even for me” phase.
For one, I just can’t sit with an open client like I used to so Ares’ web portal has been a godsend but that artificially limits me to a single platform and slate of games.
For another, I find effort and focus are increasingly limited and I don’t really have it in me to go workshop another game character (let alone with backstory/shared connections) for some game that will fail-to-launch or just work out as an exercise in theme that fails to grab me.
I know I’ve said this before but I’m find it progressively more difficult to rustle up even a shred of inspiration for slice-of-life rp.
It probably doesn’t help that I’ve officially overdosed on supernatural* shenanigans/stories for the time being. To quote a wise man, there are too many damn wizards on my block.*Please note this isn’t me slinging barbs at anyone else’s tastes. If you all prefer ghosts and goblins and vampires and witches and/or really specific genre stuff, go fucking ham.

I’ve ended up here and this gracefully just stepped back. Haven’t RPed in months and I’ve found other things have replaced it.
I still love the people though, so I check here ~☆daily☆~

@shit-piss-love Run something invite only or semi-invite only.

That’s not a bad idea. I keep out of OOC circles in the community but I like the people here well enough. Maybe I’d open it up to people here to start and let y’all refer others.
