Ares games feel like those magic slate drawing pads.

You shake them too hard and your creative work disappears?

So I really like it when someone can play a compelling sociopath who’s highly manipulative and intelligent. I think this is usually a more interesting kind of foil than just Punchy McPuncherperson.

But when they get caught and then try to lie about it OOC it’s a weird … sticky feeling.

The moment where you realize, “oh, you’re not playing a character; this is actually you.”

hey, friend, if you’re going to crib that much inspiration from a source – write some fanfic, you’ll feel better.

From a conversation with a few people I know IRL: When people create amazing story points for their character or for the world in general only to somehow completely draw a blank when you ask them to explore that further.

“I really like how you established your character was secretly undermining the Lord of the West Rivers, can we do some more undermining plot stuff with that?”

“Wait what? I have no idea what you are talking about and am not interested in that in the least.”

“Ok. Well… ugh.”

are you replying to jumpscare actually or did you just hit that reply button cuz it was closest?

because your comment made me think of something specific.

A super icky experience for me was finding out the reason a player was so eager to slide into my DMs was so they could pre-seed the OOC conversation with lies. Before ever being caught.

But when they did get caught, things got extra deranged. Like, straight up wholecloth invention of things that never happened in the story or in DMs.

@Juniper Honestly this is why my communication is solely inside a game unless I trust someone with my life. I do not engage on discord with people I don’t know. I keep it in the game so I can report it – and it’s why I only play on Ares games.

edited to clarify: I AM LAZY.

just hit the closest reply button, that’s all, @Coin. I wasn’t directing my peevish comment to anyone.

ultimately – my tantrum was resolved with weed and a nap.

Brain weasels continually getting to you when you’re trying to create a game.
