    • RE: If you work hard, son, maybe someday you'll RP

      @egg Perception is important - just because you think everyone else is having a blast while you sit in a room that doesn't make it so.

      As for RP isn't a reward given to those who deserve it. Sometimes it's simply a matter of having OOC connections.

      Finally people boast - a lot. Even on MSB.

      ... Targaryens burning before. In fact it's been a staple in the books - a lot of them died to fire.

      But also if a giant pissed off lizard wants to hurt you it doesn't need to burn you to do so. Those claws are probably not just for show.

    • RE: Game of Thrones

      What astounds me is the widespread idea online that just because this season was disappointing to 'many fans' it will somehow harm the producers' career.

      For starters the viewership was extremely high. You don't lose your job, or a potential job, because of criticism; you lose them because you didn't make money. Downvotes are unimportant compared to dollars as a metric.

      For another everyone whines online. It's non-stop, no matter what's put out there someone will complain, demolish and hate it. It's basically required for all of those people to either not be on social media or to ignore it else they will go crazy. And if people will complain no matter what it's impossible to tell if they are right or wrong.

      ... is Jon Snow's complete lack of agency.

      They had spent seven years showcasing him as a reluctant but respected leader with a strong moral compass yet he spent the last season with the same few lines written for Kit Harington over and over again: "You're my Queen" and "I don't want it".

      They did nearly nothing with him even took away the reactions to some of the most important moments he had; revealing his parentage to the other Starks or even killing Daenerys. I don't care who killed the Night King, but this was really not to my satisfaction.

      When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives.

      Uhm, about that.

      Well, it's over.

      That's what I'm equipped to say right now.

      @Admiral Hahah. But he's so perfect. At this point, sadly, perhaps too old to be believable but 10-15 years ago... damn.

      Are you into roleplaying games?

      Meet Crawlr - the equivalent of Tindr, but for RPGs. 🙂

      @Roz said in Game of Thrones:

      If anyone even LOOKS at Sansa the wrong way I will get my murder on.

      If it makes you feel any better the chances of that are nil. She's gone through too much to harm her any further but also... there really isn't that much time left to shift the narrative so that twist would make sense.

      ***This final episode should be all about***

      Dany, Jon, Tyrion and Arya.

      But I would be shocked if we didn't see a massive army made of everyone else in Westeros showing up to oppose Dany. Varys sent a lot of letters.

    • RE: Disabilities and Mental Illness as Character Traits

      @Auspice The thing is though there are legitimate fantasy tropes based on disabilities that are overcome. The blind archer, old and frail martial artist, slow-witted but massive warrior are pretty standard ideas.

      Back to GoT: tomorrow is gonna be hilarious.

      I don't see any outcome that won't enrage some people. But I also don't predict any outcome won't delight many others, either.

    • RE: Recycling characters

      One thing I definitely do is transfer builds once I've done my 'research' on mechanics for a certain type of character.

      So for example I have a combaty GMC Werewolf file somewhere with useful merits, Facets, etc to purchase... which won't lead even to identical +sheets (since that leaves a lot of wiggle room for extras) but makes sure I don't miss anything major out as I make a new character good at punching people.
