Um.... Uh.... yeah.

quote Scott Cee

I write sci-fi and fantasy RPs. I can get away with pretty much anything without doing any research at all. It's hollywood science - if it sounds cool and looks like it makes sense then I'll probably just go with it. Unless it is something that already exists, people know exists and might possibly have some knowledge of already then I have to do research. Actually, it's more likely that I'll make a mental note to find out how, for example, a nuclear reactor melts down, but forget about it and make something up anyway.

I mean, I'm all into the creative side where things are only as realistic as they need to be to get the story told. It's just like the real world unless noted otherwise.

Music. I don't listen to music while writing RPs. I don't listen to music while posting in RPs. I don't listen to music while thiking about RPs. I did once, but turning a song into an RP is hard.

quote Matt Addison

I personally believe that songs that are lyrical are very difficult to write to, as the words get very distracting when you are trying to put your own to paper.

However orchestrated and instrumental stuff, I find, is very easy to write to depending on whether it fits in with the pitch and tone of the post you are composing.

quote Wolf of Light

I disagree. I find a good song can inspire me to no end. My kind-of sort-of RP I may work on someday is the product of Exivious, Gordian Knot, Mastodon and a picture I saw of a Mexican. That and Tiger's helpful help.
Speaking of which, anyone interested? It's pretty much one big fight scene punctuated by...other things, like plot and character development and so on. Should be good.
Speaking of THAT, you should all pressure Rust into creating Create Inn, on pain of death.

Scott, am I right in assuming it's you who loves Terry Pratchett? I just finished the first two books of the Death trilogy. I love Death. Definitely one of the best characters in a series.

quote Matt Addison

I've only ever really played the Discworld games, and watched some of the animated series, but Death did feature predominantly in the second game.

Love how he got amnesia by being blown up by the bomb that took out the Fool's Guild and decided to take a holiday so no-one could properly die. He was very morose and blaise about the whole thing. Hilarious.

quote Rust

Enough of this Create Inn stuff, WoL, you're the only one interested, deal with it

Also this made me chuckle

quote Foryx

Speaking of which, how often do you use inns/hotels/bed bunk places in your RPs?

(Ex. of such a thing: The instrumentals that accompany the song "You're an Ocean." That's some damned good piano. )

(Mainly because hotels cost money, and in RPs, monsters don't drop gold coins. So yeah... My characters are dirt poor. )

(And answering PMs when I get the chance. Don't think I'm ignoring you. I just haven't gotten the chance to respond yet, and I want to get at least one entry up before sunday. )

I have sullied the Shadow's return.

Happy?

quote Ishilar

Inns are only cool in games. Otherwise, unless your character is obscenely rich, they're kinda negligible.

quote Chroma

Week~eeeend.... start! I'll be working on my entries for now. (And answering PMs when I get the chance. Don't think I'm ignoring you. I just haven't gotten the chance to respond yet, and I want to get at least one entry up before sunday. )

Haha! Or at least I decide to get trigger happy and post again? I've already partically formulated my next post in my head. I know exactly what I want to do with it, I just need to kind of flesh it out. And yes, it also need to be in as part of Chapter 1, so you can't end it yet.

The soudtrack for one of my favourite games that I decided to download last night has a lot of good tracks that I can just see myself doing things with. One such, even gave me an idea about something that is entirely outside the scope of what I had originally intended for Eden and will certainly be worth looking into. XD

There are some tracks though that were corrupted, so they exploded in harsh noises when you turn them on, which wasn't a part of the track naturally. So I deleted them, but they weren't that great anyway... Kind of sub-par.

As far as inns go. I don't tend to use them all that much, from what I recall. Most of my characters usually have a standing in the world that makes it silly for them to be using an inn. And besides, I feel the nature of an inn in an RP in particular is most used for character building and churning out dialogue than anything else. I intend to do that in my next Eden post, but the characters won't be in an inn, as I don't believe that one could be situated in the middle of a gigantic, nocuous mountain range. XD

hey where's a quote of me or even a passage about my most awesome return?!

Actually joining an RP

quote Wolf of Light

ANOTHER title? First NDL, now RP itself...I'm on a roll.
