  1. Oh, that all sounds awful and sad that you and your mom are having to go through all this, life can be quite cruel. I absolutely admire your positive forward look and I hope that through all this you can enjoy some of the things that can make you happy and give you hope. I have a daft dream to live in a long boat and potter between places to work along the canals, so a cute trailer sounds kewl to me . At least it could be an adventure.
  2. Now with added Discord Server for OOC funz!
  3. I generally start by having a reason to do something and find a dungeon that equates to the place the group have to go. In this way you follow the RP and not the dungeon. It may be you don't complete the dungeon because the target is not at the end. So there are things to fight, go in unsynced and there is no problem, just use low power and the fights last a few goes. Deal with injuries etc.. run away, and stuff ans you want. Use the setting, and pre-knowing it allows you to choose what you are after and where to go. I tend to provide the descriptions myself over the top of what people see. So to summarize, treat the dungeons as a place to go do your RP and not as a dungeon.
  4. It's time for a well deserved gin and Witch's Brew
  5. Just spotted this on the main site. We are happy to announce that the next UK based Fan Gathering will take place on Saturday 20th May in Manchester! This is the perfect chance to meet friends and FC mates over drinks and talk about our favourite game! Make sure to reserve your seat now! Source: First Ever UK Fan Gathering in Manchester! I wondered if anyone was tempted to go.. I am considering it.
  6. Welcome back to activity... we should catch up on where our chars fortunes have taken them! It was quite a while ago (over 2 years)
  7. Just a thought, really get the anti-social aspect across. Do it enough and someone will take offense so the RP begins. Like: Stare at people with a psychotic glint Wipe your nose on your sleeve Eat things with your mouth open, loudly and insist on pulling the food out of your mouth to look at before putting it back in Shout comments at people's conversations, it could even be nonsense Automatically assume anyone approaching you means you no good Body oder is a good line, so don't bathe or wash your clothing Act like you are cripple but then walk off perfectly fine when it's not working Always sit next to the good looking folks, they deserve you Always complain about the cost of things and try to get as much for free as you can Always pay for everything in 1 gil coins that you count out slowly Don't be anti-social and likable .. no one wants that.
  8. Do you look like this? Maybe you too are a witch? Here are some handy tests. If you are a witch, don't delay ring us today, send no money and no salesman will call Dial 555-Witches'WyrdWeb
  9. I find your love of cake disturbing - definitely one of us
  10. Will do, when I get on. Which is your main character, as we try to keep slots open for others.
  11. Completed The Case of the Hornet Honey Wine
  12. Randoms! Yarr! Pigletpig Bed Bouncing #23 Roundhouse kick Winter's tails
  13. Because black mage shows us that reduced sight = more power.
  14. 5th son.. that's unpossible! What is happening to the world, is nothing sacred.. why next we will see the seas turning into fire and the moon come crashing down... It's a world gone mad! Seriously, just go with rare and fine. Why they would make a big deal about it OOC I don't know, it should be a talking point IC.
  15. Well I have a nice Pirate Witch that is always up for RP! I'll keep an eye out for you.
  16. Done for A'zaza Skywright Cursed Curiosities
  17. What! SE making sense for once? I hope.. hope .. hope. I hope that applies to past offers they messed up. I don't usually get stuff from the store but I might make an exception.
  18. If it's your first time, gosh, keep it simple because most of it will be about the mechanics of running the story and the type of RPers you get to do it. Ask yourself what the best RPs you have done were like, and how the person running it dealt with managing the players. That should help you decide how you would like to approach it. How will you start the RP How will NPCs be dealt with How will things like order of actions occur How will outcomes of actions be resolved How will you move from one scene to another What will you do when the players miss the plot and miss the clues How will it end, will they know they won Now, in doing that you can choose to be as regimented or not, from using some rolling dice system, or something like Fate-14, and even free-form self determination. The idea (well for me) is to have just enough so that the focus is RP and not mechanics. The story itself I would suggest keeping it simple to start with, and leave convoluted things for another day when you have the mechanics down. So start with very simple, small scenarios. Remember you are facilitating the RP of others, and you are supposed to loose while providing a challenge What is the starting point that initiates the plot Why would the characters care Make sure there are ways to progress the story Avoid single points of failure, because the players will mess up and that kills your plot dead Do some work on fleshing out the main NPCs Be prepared to wing it on general NPCs Be open to players coming up with things you never thought of and accommodate them as best you can (in fact welcome and reward it) I find it useful to write a separate bit on "what is really happening" rather than what the characters see. This lets your plot/NPCs respond to what is happening, rather than you responding to the characters. The RP on adventures happens a lot in the still moments between the activity, let the players enjoy that before hurrying them along (there is no need to rush) There is much much more but really, do something very small for a few friends and learn. That's the best way. And these can be as simple as the quests in the game: Take item A to person in other place Go and retrieve item A from the bad folks Help for someone on the road I have to go to the ball and I have nothing to wear.. help! The Bishmark has run out of flower! - what will the characters do Go and unload the ship and report back what they are carrying etc.. Hope that helps.
