Ultimately, I ask: do I need to know the sandworm's home life for fighting it to be compelling? In the case of the monster, what makes them unique is how you fight them. A creature spawned from the primordial chaos of the world like a Sha (one of the actually cool things about Pandaria) is...

See, I don't think the guidelines need to be fixed. There's nothing inherently wrong with a species that's just evil by default. Fantasy is fantasy, not the real world. Having generally evil races is about having monsters for the party to fight without feeling remorseful. They're stock bad guys...

Yeah I gotta agree with Dahl on this one, orcs are not a stand-in for people of African descent in any setting I can think of. Tolkiens' orcs are based of this idea of a savage but don't have any cultural markers to represent any one group - they don't really have much of a culture at all aside...

Marine rises again, the tertiary phoenix. Added him to our old convo together so he can access that properly.

In the same boat honestly. The only real shitty part of being stuck at home is that I got denied most of the last semester with my upperclassmen friends.

Thing is, it gets more complicated than that. To begin with, the incident was a white cop pressing his knee down on the neck of a black cop that was his former co-worker, and the guy died - I've gotten mixed information on whether it was due to his airway being blocked or a heart attack that...

Good on the peaceful protesters. That's unrelated to the people using a man's death as an excuse to smash windows, burn police stations, and steal. Thankfully my immediate community is levelheaded, but I'm aware of at least one incident in downtown Dallas where a man was beaten within an inch...

Better than I was. This last semester I learned that any academic year with the tag "Junior Year," be it high school or college, is cursed when it comes to me. Those of you who remember how scattered I was during VoF in high school junior year - yeah, this one was worse. Pandemic and lockdown...

Weird, I usually got enough by selling loot from the various points of interest rather than the jobs (peasants are misers).

Super late response, I know, but thankfully Tax was my intercessor for that. Semester has been hellishly busy to the point where I haven't been able to write, and have just been playing Stellaris and Ace Combat 7 in-between readings, exams, and essays. I'm safe at home though, and my father's a...

Late to the party, but I saw it last Friday. Amazing characterization, kickass choreography. Would recommend. It gets a tad touchy on political issues at time, but it's not so persistent that it can't be ignored.

Morbidly curious, looks it up, proceeds to see a character list where half of them are prostitutes. Well then.

Super late to the discussion about characters, but I've been on a travel course so that's my excuse. It's close between her and Yakone, but Atka. Across all the collaborative writing I've done, few characters have surprised me as much as her. When I came to this site, I felt as though I were...

Merry Christmas friendos!

I'll consider it. Need to catch up, get reoriented, and finish a solo that was meant to start my character paths off properly first. If that doesn't happen before you're ready to do that mission, don't wait on me though.

You've got really good comedic timing. Especially impressive that you're keeping that up while in constant peril. Also, using executions to interrupt enemy attacks is clever - I'd never thought of using it that way before.

Its quite stunning and brave, seeing as I severely doubt Walmart made much cashmoney off selling video games to begin with in this digital age.

Yep. Keep these two in mind. And don't feel rushed. I'd rather you take your time setting up a main plot and have a roadmap well into the future before getting things started, if that's what suits you. Furthermore, don't think that the slow pace thus far is necessarily bad. It'll suit me really...
