I have tentative interest. Am I going to be forced to play a teenager?

I will be doing this next Tuesday.

South of Lemay a giant sinkhole opened up in a field that was once being tilled for wheat. A cavern was revealed and people started to explore it and discovered some crude ore that they could work and use. Only last week some people have gone missing in the cavern network that got revealed.

So now Saria, the old farmer who was in charge of the little settlement near it, has put out a request. Can anyone able bodied go in and find what happened to her people?

@kanye-qwest It kind of looks like she's saying "fuck off".

I'm rated as 'non-TS' and then I find someone that everything just clicks with and we get it oooooooon, and then the pages of "what makes him so special" etc etc.

I started to do the third verse but man, I just can't. That verse is just so dark, and such a cautionary warning about STDs ... how to turn into a silly limerick about TS?

@kay

And believe me, you, it's as good as true
There ain't a staffer alive that she couldn't get next to
She had all the staff favoritism should have been glad
But she was mad and sad and feelin' bad
Thinkin' about the plots that she never had
No character development, just TS, followed next without a +roll but a +note
That last scene was dope
Let's talk about TS, baby (sing it)

Mildly off topic but every time I open up this thread I hear Salt and Peppa in my head, then I realize how old that song is and by extension how old I am.

Let's talk about TS, baby, let's talk about pose and scene, let's talk about all the drama and the mayhem that may be

Heard it perfectly in tune with the song.

@kanye-qwest said in Let's talk about TS.:

I find myself a little put off by sexual interests and such in ooc formats. It feels..weirdly player intimate, to me. When I do TS, to be frank, it's not really about gratification for ME. It's about the characters. I'm fine with a quick "this is the level of language I'm comfortable with, this is a hard FTB point/event for me", etc, but like a browsable list of wants and less-wants is decidedly not my jam.

Yeah, I just provide code. It's not my jam for non-sex games (ala Shang or an Anitaverse or Kushiel game where staff are 100% upfront it's meant to be a sex-game with some world cohesion).

The code can be easily modified, but it's intended purpose was to let people match up with other people that like similar styles/focuses. Like some people really love adventure RP and hate casual/bar-RP. Some people are absolutely fine with casual/bar-RP but feel stressed out by high stakes adventure RP.

@tinuviel Well, yes. Those are the stock standard I could think of 'what kind of RP do people like', but if we're changing it to be more kink-like, or what not...

It'd be trivial to change those categories to something like:

action.adventure.casual.comedy.conflict.mystery.public.romance.social.ts - light.ts - graphic.ts - monogamy.ts - hookup.ts - romantic

Or whatever.

ts - @Ganymede only

Just go in and change

My hard line in the sand nope: anyone who claims to be married or partnered who then spends time bitching sexually about their spouse/partner. I'm not talking about occasional grumpy stuff, look I've been married/partnered to the same guy for like 20 years, every one gets on each other's nerves sometimes. But constant complaining or worse, /denigrating/ one's partner? Yikes. I have met people that were so ugly and mean about their SO that I did not feel comfortable interacting with them again. On any level.

Another hard note for me is someone who is constantly complaining about their other RP partners. Especially if its accompanied by "you are the nicest and the only one who understsnds." Yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh.

Holy shit, people do that? That is mind boggling to me, that would strike me as uncomfortable as someone asking like, creepy personal questions, maybe more so.

It would immediately make think that they were saying the same sort of things about me to their other RP partners.

@sunny said in Let's talk about TS.:

The only thing I have to add that hasn't been covered here already is:

If I am on an actual game (and not goofing around on Shang), I want to be left out of it. I should be able to talk in terms of my PC and my character without ever bringing up what MY particular preferences/limits/etc. are. My kinks have no place (for me) in RP where I am playing a character and so on. When I say that I want to not talk about me or the person behind the other character (save to avoid things that might upset/trigger/whatnot the other person), that should be respected. Deal with it IC, play your PC, even in the bedroom. If your character whips out the chains, understand that REGARDLESS of what I might like, my character may very well flip the hell out. Just keep it IC. IC. IC. IC. IC.

This most I talk about the other -player's- preference at this point is language. I will tailor my language to the other player's language. But I have also asked other players when the clothing start coming off and it's clear actual sex is going to be written out: "What language are you comfortable with?"

I'll be flat out honest: I enjoy fluffy romantic RP, and I enjoy TS. I enjoy all levels of romantic RP, and pretty much all levels of TS. From scenes where one partner starts laughing mid-coitus and calls everything off b/c they're thinking about the last time they had a particular act happen to more intense obsession-fucks.

I am fine writing vague poses that describe things, that focus more on the emotional connection. I am also fine writing out all the details. But other people really don't like certain language, and don't like certain words even. (I'll admit there's some words where I am just like: "What are teenagers? Can we not.") . So I will sometimes ask: What level of detail, what language are you okay with?

Otherwise... Booooyyy, I do not wanna know about what the other players kinks are.

@peasoupling sniff Okay

@kay said in Darkwater: The Return:

@cobaltasaurus Cool. What was the story behind Kahu and the obsidian mirror one? Were they really proto-Gentry, or was there something else going on?

It was a >horribly< mess. An absolute horrible mess. And toward the end there was some stuff (re: Eddie's regaining some memories while talking to Sophia) that I was like: Goddamn that would have been awesome to do on screen.

But they were a cross between proto-gentry and gods, basically they were things that would have created the first Gentry. And, yes, for anyone curious they were based a bit off of Aztec and Mayan mythology. A >bit<, I could have done way more research than I did.

Okay:

I was basically going to fast forward through the waves of birds, and have the big bad show up as a giant FUCK YOU BIRD just as the ritual finished, but instead of having the NPCs all do smash-big attacks...

They were basically going to merge into you guys, giving you the power they had just gathered. And you were all going to get the equiv of wyrd:10 for the end of the scene and elemental attacks and get to go to town on Kahu to take him out.

And get all your memories back after you finished off Kahu.

Another update! RIP Darkwater II, it was good to know ye, and hello brainstorming OC superhero games.

So what do I need to do to to get you, @Flitcraft, and @Cobaltasaurus into joining Aud and I over at Fate's Harvest? I'm not above bribery.

If you convince @Flitcraft and @Kay, I'll drag myself through chargen.

@Kay @Flitcraft @Stabby If you want to know what the plan for the finale scene is I'd be plan to tell you, but I'd also understand if you don't!

I am glad @Flitcraft that it got you in touch with some wonderful folks and that it did help you at a time you needed it. You are definitely one of my favorite people to GM for, and while I'm not really wanting to run up >my own ship< again, if I ever start GM'ing for someone else's game I hope you'll come around.
