I was paranoid that people would ruin Kage's life by attempting to either assassinate the Captain or knocking him out before he talked to the Captain or kidnapping him.

... I was right to be paranoid but I was able to sorta make sure that people were given the chance to as well as making sure Kage got what he wanted.

With most characters the most I do is catch a wee case of 'the feels', feeling happy or bad for them in particularly emotional situations. I've laughed a lot and cried or felt a little crabby more than few times over my roleplaying career, and have edged into territory where I was over-identifying and needed to remind myself to back off a bit. I don't consider a little emotional investment in a good story to be a bad thing as long as you're feeling that FOR your character and not as something super personal. But when it stresses you out or makes it to the point where you aren't having fun things need to change. It's something I actively watch for and try to nip in the bud as early as possible. Taking it the other way and venting certain OOC moods IC is also something that I try to avoid. I'd rather not RP at all if I'm crabby and having difficulty reacting otherwise IC, than bring down someone else's day and possibly veer my character OOC for what and who they're supposed to be.

...cripes that was a ramble. Sorry if the flow of thought is hard to follow. Bleed-through is something I struggled pretty hard with in the past, though a big part of it might have been being young and over-invested.

No, my main hangup comes when handed OOC authority/responsibility that goes along with my IC fun times. :< My stress management needs work, so I Â just sidestep that pothole in the road as often as I can unless the work comes in small manageable doses.

I'm starting to believe we all need some kind of GM support group.

So um... yeah..
Bump for recent relevance...

I accepted bleed-through when Osric opened a box to find a collar inside.

The hits haven't stopped coming.

I think I can agree with this. *takes a deep breath* ...I should be working...

Warren Castille · **07-14-2014, 01:38 PM**

Collars in general.

Been a long couple of days.

Imho Bleed-Through as it stands is something that always happens, in a smaller or bigger scale.Â

I've always likened Roleplaying to a mixture of acting, aswell as dynamic playwriting. On one hand, you try to convey as realistically as possible what your 'character' (Which in a way is simply a fictive being who's personality you've outlined in your mind) does in a fictive world. What I personally do is that I try to get 'In character', into the mindset of what he would do, and how he would react. Ofcourse that will, in some way, move you or impact you, as we develop a certain attachment to our Creations. Plus, we're invested, with time, and effort.

Now, straight out bleed-through for me is rather when I carry personal issues into the roleplay. and that breaks character.

I think a little bleed-through is never bad, because it often can even help to give your character a more realistic, feasable edge, and it helps to translate real emotion into your play. Likewise however, if it starts breaking character, rather then enforcing it, it becomes problematic. I mean, I am sure we all know the old catch 22 situation of strict OOC/IC seperation, but sometimes, a very small bit will always go through. The question is if it's beneficial or contraproductive.

Long night. Tense RP. Still sick but at work anyway.

It's a weird sense of accomplishment, even when it ended with bullet holes.

Coatleque · **07-16-2014, 10:44 AM**

For some it ended in bullet holes.
For someone else it ended in a barely-eaten lobster dinner and almost entire bottle of wine. At least she didn't have to pay.

You didn't finish your lobster...?

...how rude of you.

Coatleque · **07-16-2014, 11:14 AM**

I know. She's not very kind.
And now she's turning alcoholic.

Warren Castille · **07-16-2014, 11:15 AM**

The most depressing story.

Roen · **07-16-2014, 11:19 AM**

Sad and demented...

...But social!

(it was fun!)
