You can play a bossy character with an IC title who micromanages everything while waving that title around. You can be a slow poser.

What you can’t - or at least shouldn’t - do is be both of those during large, plot-critical scenes. Because now that your PC has ICly appointed themselves the only one permitted to act or make decisions, your 15-20+ minute paragraph long poses (and they’re always at least 15-20+ minutes) force everyone else to endlessly wait. I’m sympathetic to being a slower poser for whatever reason, but when you’re constantly making yourself into a bottleneck in plot scenes where everyone only has three hours at most, it’s just disrespectful of everyone else’s time. Play something else, write shorter poses, whatever.

@Rusalka I’m already on my way to the door when someone declares themself the bottleneck to all important developments - it’s obnoxious main character energy. Fuck 'em.

I learned if there’s no live and organic aspect to my RP, it fizzles. I may as well write-write – bummer.

I’m taking this as async vs live? I’m think I’m one of the odd ducks that can be just as in the moment with an async when its my turn to pose as a live one.

This may be a sort of RP survival mechanism since having the time to do actual live RP is such a rarity though.

it doesn’t make you an odd duck, lol, and async can be just as organic and vivacious as live rp. it’s 1000% a subjective personal preference thing.

@Babs

it’s me. I tried the superhero smut game and it didn’t take. smut. superhero smut. porn without plot. aaaaand nada.

[Gasboy]

@ten I get that smut happens… but this is a mush specifically for superhero smut?

[ten]

@Gasboy

@Roz ONYX PATH!!!!!!!!!

White Wolf – not Onyx Path, but ehh – is currently doing a community survey that will impact the future of their games as both TTRPGs, actual plays, and video games.

You can access it here.

@Aria Ooo, TY.

I was reading OP’s reddit AMA the other day and the business decisions Paradox is making with their licenses didn’t surprise me, but did disappoint me. Paradox seems to be leaving a lot of lines dead in the water, presumably to avoid cannibalizing their own base for other lines. Gotta streamline those business efficiencies and maximize your gainz.

My answer to the optional last question was “hire a regular person to try and read your books before you publish them.” But mostly I just want that job for myself.
