I'm reading the sequel to Hard Reset. Disturbing at times (less so than the first, granted), but bloody brilliant writing.

Also a chapter narrated by Pinkie Pie.

That chapter was great. XD

Even her Crosses the Line Twice moment.

hey apple, you might like this tumblr!

It was the second one, and since they both happened in the same month, I kind of just mentally merged them.

Sorry, just, had the past weeks of stress all blow up on me.

You mostly all know about the PNP RPG group i'm in with Pannic and CDRW, and now Story.

Wel, I kind of chased our GM away by pushing for a homebrewed rule to prevent perma-death. It was the only thing that kept me from enjoying the game fully, was the stress and worry over one bad role invalidating the months I've spet with the character building him, getting used to him playing him. I just I hate the idea of it in every respect.

All it would have tae was that ONE little change, and everything would have ben perfect.. but, but I ended up putting him off of the whole idea of runing the game.. and possibly ruining it for EVERYONE... sorry you three.....

@ Blissey

You were right, I did.

Is everything OK Seraphem?

I could see death for a single campaign... but then being allowed to use that character from point of death in a new campaign.

Its part of the reason I don't do much RP Gs... I get too attached to the characters I make and if they die... I am sad :(

It happens. That's why I like playing as necromancers, then the party has a chance of bringing you back all be it as a lich with a lot of stats decreased.

I don't know. th GM is a friend, hell he's one of the two that got me into the whole RP group, thing I love so much. just lately he's been, off. And I know he's upset, and i'm upset, and w're trying to see if we can salvage the group, and i know how much efort he put into the story, the world, the setting, everything.......

Add to the the last month has been just so so SO damn stressful. Dealing with my sister and he fiancee fighting and arguing and her storming out. And worrying over if he'll snap and do something stupid, or the car will break, or I'll lose my job (no reason, just Generalized Anxiety over the possibility). I just had a frined move in, cam up from Florida to get out of an even worse household, and worried about him finding a job, and him being happy.

And so many people I know on TUMBLR going through issues, and trying to help as many of them as I can...

It's just so much, and it just all erupted at once.

WHY, I just do not get WHY it has to be, you die, you brun your sheet and forget it ever happend. I just do not understand why NOT having to stress about losing your character is such a bad thing

What's a 'good' version of a necromancer, if such a thing exists.

And also, in my pic of the Doc on Derpibooru, somebody added the source. My photobucket account. How do I make it private? I don't want the whole web being able to see my wip work.

I'm sorry Seraphem.

Because tabletops tend to only be balanced all that well for the first 7-8 levels. When the wrong character lasts beyond that, stuff gets broken.

@Applelight: Underneath the tags there's an "Edit source" link. Change it to link directly to the image on your photobucket rather than linking to your account page.

@Seraphem: I don't know much about RP Gs, but I think part of it is that it forces you to think your decisions over when there's a solid consequence, rather than just being able to bring the character back whenever you die. It removes any risk from the game.

Thanks JT.

@Pyrkete: That can quite easily be solved by not playing a campaign past those first 8 or so levels.

There's still risk, you could still lose. Not saying never go down, just, just. The risk of losing all that work. It simply made it all to much, it sucked the fun out. made me TO nervous, TO stressed and, there is simply no reason I can see WHY it HAS to be that way, when everyone except the GM agreed that a non-death system would work and make the game more fun.

I I just wanted ONE just ONE damn thing in my life right now that I didn't stress over, didn't worry about all the time.. just one....

I'm interested in maybe reading a bit more fanfic, can anyone recommend a good fanfic or two similar in nature/style to this one, which I enjoyed?

Derpity derp, me being a slowpoke.

Well, we've known that for a little while. The manga too.

What's she famous for?

I don't remember much about Japanese V As. I used to watch the subs with difficulty when I had better vision, but that was a good 4 and a half years ago.

Re: PC death

If I were DM, I'd only ever let it happen blaze-of-glory style.

Doesn't your game have a resurrection spell?

BTW What are your though on The Ultra PRO announcement? and how soon do you think the sleeves will hit the market?

edited 27th Mar '13 8:48:58 PM by MorningStar1337

The what announcement?

The what now?

I have no idea what you're talking about either.
