RE: Thing-a-Day: Game Night

in #dnd3 years ago

I found to be writing daily I needed to not post it (since discovering Obsidian which I initially grabbed for better roleplay notes and then went and built an organiser out of it because I have this love/hate relationship with tooling) because when I'm just writing for me I just write, whereas habitually if I'm going to be posting something publicly it has to be more comprehensible XD

I usually recommend weekly posting (or 2-3 times a week maybe depending) to people who want to post regularly but daily is too demanding.

No Head of Vecna? XD

I've played forum roleplays where a couple of my characters started out fine and fitting in (I slotted in somewhere between the normal sensible human players and the hardcore power gamer with mcs) but because of the way I designed them, they hit a point and suddenly escalated in relative power so I was like oh and decided that they could return home and resume their apprenticeship jobs (it worked out that they'd basically taken the equivalent of a gap, didn't plan it that way, didn't plan anything really, was just going with things XD) and started up a new character. Unfortunately shortly after that the servers suffered a catastrophic catastrophe and a lot of the forums just completely lost all their data and we were so demoralised that after an attempt at rebooting, we all just ended up drifting apart.

I kind of want to look into joining play by post again but I'm too lazy to look x_x

I'm character-driven (build campaigns around characters) so haven't had that problem as permaGM. The handful of occasions that I did get to play, the GMs were pretty cruisy with whatever.
