Not to speak poorly of FATE, but it seemed a little clunky for my to use, a little too long set up when yu wanted to do a on the fly scene with people who just showed up. In my FC, we have our own independent system where /random rolls either get a positive bonus or a negative bonus depending on a few stats. POWER DEFENCE HEALTH LORE MAGIC CHARISMA Every person is assigned 2 strong stats, 1 weak stat and the rest are +0. Strong is +200, and Weak is -200. Makes you feel as if you have an advantage as oppose to just base rolls and offers less 'dumb luck'. We also have a simple class system too, but I wont go into that. tldr, We use rolls too, but, not complicated versions of them.

As far as I am aware, not only OOC but lore-wise being committed of a crime in any of the city states, depending what it is, is dealt with sevre consequences. So there is also that aspect of the game you have to look at too. :tonberry: In Gridania, they have some of the most severe punishments of any city state. Which, is generally why the city is so peaceful. I'd recommend summoning someone more of a lore expert of the city-state laws than myself for further information, but honestly - if you arent willing to accept the lore consequences set by city states for your actions, it's probably best to not A) Get caught. B) not play a villain.

When I first role played Gin me and a friend who I had met decided to arrange a plot where my characters father was marrying my character off to another character (another pc) for both political and monetary reasons. Not only was the roleplay very enjoyable, it was more so because the characters were forced to engage with each other when normally they might not have. Eventually these two characters formed a very strong bond based on trust rather than instant attraction and OOC me and this player have been friends ever since. From this standpoint, I can understand it. But coming back into a pre-decided relationship I think can be straining.

Could have a FC for you, we are small and we dont do a lot of end game content (sometimes Omega normal, extremes etc together) but we have weekly plot and welcome people from all paths of life. having someone with dubious connections could make some of these plots far more interesting! -
EASTWARD BLOWING BANNERS Chapter 1: Aleport The first stormblood long lasting plot of Crossroads begins in Aleport! the adventurers and clerks preparing caravans and cargo for the seabound adventure towards the near-eastern front! What troubles will arise with such simple tasks?

That's just it, though. They have every right to object to you imposing yourself into their scene if they don't want you their. It's their RP - just because you can see it doesn't give you some magical dominion over it. But the game has avenues to reduce that. If they dont want anyone coming into their roleplay use those provided channels.

If we go back to the coffee shop example for a moment... If you and a friend were having an in-depth conversation about something, would you take notice of a stranger listening in? Especially one who was simply listening without any indication that they might turn their attention towards your table and possibly interact with you? /tell ((hey I saw your RP, is it ok if I involve my character?)) Either way, if you are emoting nearby that you are listening to them, you should still be allowed to retain the information and not have them snap at you. Just as I, in person could totally listen even if unintentionally, into a conversation at the table next to me where Lady A is complaining about something A, and Person B is agreeing about something A. Etc. They're allowed to completely IC focus on their conversation but it doesn't mean other people don't exist.

I'm sorry, what? Were you guys LARPing being abusive to trans characters or something and then had to change when trans people made themselves known in your circle? I really have to wonder what this "dark" RP is. Also, protip: These folks have always been in your gaming groups, but the fact that they haven't revealed themselves to you should make you think. snip Nono, I'm saying it was never a prevalent thing in the LARP community and we had to adjust to accommodate new groups of people we hadn't ever experienced being included in that community. :3 Just like anything, it was new. But a lot of the new members had triggers against Larps with things like gender inequality, abuse, torture etc. So in NZL we've pretty much just stopped writing dark fantasy games because there are so few topics which can be covered.

I just find it odd that i is a requirement for most people to ask them first to approach despite them already role playing in public. if my character is there, why are they invisible to someone until I ask permission? And Im sorry if this next comment sounds offensive, in regards to PC culture. In the Larp community in New Zealand we have had a very sudden and rapid growth in the community due to a big boon in members joining, all being Transgender or in the LGQT spectrum. While we've had 'Queer' (I have no idea if this word is offensive, im sorry) We had never had to deal with the community changes and thus, things in general became more PC to accommodate these people and their triggers. Especially in dark roleplay themes, things got very limited to the point of non-existence. I've noticed something similar (but not exactly the same) happening on Balmung especially. many people have told me tha Balmung is the 'Safe Gay/Lesbian/Quuer/LGBTQA' haven of Roleplay for these groups. And usually in cases i've personally witnessed, these people have been through a lot which could lead to some of the PC issue we have today. I could just be making mountains out of molehills, or completely underestimate the situation, but yeh. What i've wittnessed. (Also, I have nothing against these people! :3 they're all good by me. Just an observation comparing one fiction avenue to another)

But should you have to ask to join something. You aren't, by joining in forcing their character to do anything. You are simply approaching something else in the living world as another organism in said living world. Obviously asking can help but it really shouldn't be applicable if your search info reads "walk ups welcome"

hey RPC, I have been thinking about this quite a lot in the last few weeks. What do people dictate themselves as 'public roleplay'? From my witnessing of public scenes, I personally am of the belief that anything you say and do in public should be held accountable against your character. As, it is publicly witnessable by multiple sources. However this becomes an issue for people who don't want thier 'bubble' pupped. And, creates a further issue where punishment for illegal actions (like, actual illegal actions - stealing, murder, solicitation etc) becomes negligible to the point of comedy. Is this situation acceptable? Why, should all roleplay held in public forums, accessible to the majority of the public still be considered as 'private' roleplay? Does the integrity and validity of another roleplayer matter less than your own personal character or.. what? It's quite a shame, because some better examples of amazing roleplay happen when punishment and crime collide. I'm just, a bit.. confused to why it is the norm to treat the Public air/places as still private despite it being public. maybe people just say they want an immersive world.. but not actually want one.

Hi there! I have an alt character, a lalafellian boy around the age of 9-10 who currently lives on the streets, rummaging through bins and the like. While the orphanage authorities do collect him from time to time, he doesn't really like to stick around. He is a sharlyan heritage boy, whose parents went off to fight in the effort to stomp the empire as dalamud fell, however they never came home. He is a dunesfolk, and relatively self dependant if not very forgetful. I'm on Balmung server, and the characters name is nonorya dadarya. :moogle: any interest would be lovely. Any race couple works, especially those of mixed race as adoption is probably not feesible for them.
-
With lalafellian lore, do we have any information regarding the span in which they mature? Physically and emotionally?

Hi there, I would be very interest in joining to offer some villain oriented RP to those who are playing peace keepers. If you're interested, please message back!
