Why not do both? In the same post, your character can have their moment about their dead comrade, and then meet with someone. Or even better, you can mix the two events into one. That's how restrictions can push you to be creative. Make use of fluid transitions, frame stories, etc... There is...

I kind of see the risk of dying as the price for having the spotlight in the game. Pilots and others workers don't have that risk but don't have the spotlight either. In a way, it balances the different roles. And, is sitting back and watching so bad?

In order to not deform people's opinions, let's be clear about what has been said, Dahlexpert. As of now, we have a majority of people who did express that one journal per episode is too strict, but who also agreed with the idea of a restriction, set to either 2 or 3 journals. What you have...

Hello. I have a question about your interesting character for season 4, Heisan, if you don't mind. His bio is unclear about his gender identity (I am using male pronouns right now as the bio does). What I mean is, what is his assigned gender at birth, and what does he identify with? The bio...

What about a restriction of 3 journals per episode? It will still limit people who are very active, while giving them enough room to do diverse things until the next episode (combats reports, interactions with other characters, memory logs). By the way, to avoid a hole in the rule, characters...

First Name: Rebecca Last Name: Robinson Nickname: Crazy Rebby Gender: Female Physical Description: Tall and muscular. Mildly long black hair dyed as brown, which she will either put as a ponytail or style with a few braids. Small wrinkles around the eyes. A scar goes across her face, from her...

While I barely participated in season 3, I followed it closely all the way, and I noticed a few things I want to make suggestions about for the next RP seasons. First, I think Grelite should have some sort of official authority as a GM, in the sense that he could directly address another RPer...

The Mech troopers are cyborgs, not robots. To make someone into an emotionless machine of flesh would be completely pointless (better make a 100% mechanical mech from scratch, like the SHIV, if human mental features have no part in making the thing works) but also, it would be a crime much worse...

I have to admit that the idea of the replacing-limbs procedure made me slightly uncomfortable when I saw the screenshots. And on the subject of RP, it made me wonder if a lot of people would normally accept such a drastic procedure, even in time of a desperate crisis, and if Chris will take into...

The expansion keeps giving us more, so excited. I wonder if Exalt's men are just mirrors version of XCOM soldiers (you can clearly see them equipped with their equivalents of heavy and sniper weapons) or if they do have their own abilities or quirks? Also, I'm very intrigued by the man who...

Judging from some sources, in particular this video, it seems the expansion will actually make the game harder in some ways. In short, each new big feature for the soldiers comes with a catch : rushing to collect the new resource, the Meld, put the soldiers at risk (or encourage the player to...

Sorry, my intent was just to point out reference material that could help people with the writing of their journals (and encourage other people to do the same). I don't intend to start an actual discussion on this anime, people can do their research by themselves.

PrismaCube was asking about tips the other day, and while I am debuting myself in this role-playing game, I just thought of something: reference material. For example, if you like anime and have some free time, there is an anime series called Attack On Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) that is...

Oh, by the way, I made a mistake in my first journal entry by saying that the XCOM base was in Japan, while after verification it is actually in the Philipines (I thought it was always in the same country as the one starting with a satellite), and I see you followed me on that Prisma. You may...

Name: Cyrus Hart Rank: Rookie Status: Off duty Journal Entry So here we are. In the Philippines. You would not expect this kind of operation to be led from such a small country. My previous work made me travel to a lot of places, but I never been here. Not that I will have the chance to...

First Name: Cyrus Last Name: Hart Gender: Male Biographical Synopsis: Cyrus is an ex-POO (Paramilitary Operations Officer), of age 32, specialized in counter-terrorism, who was working for the CIA. He is a patriot, as you would expect from anyone working for a governmental organization, but he...

First Name: Cyrus [or Rebecca if female, either is fine by me and it doesn't change anything about the character] Last Name: Hart Reason for application to X-COM: Cyrus is an ex-POO (Paramilitary Operations Officer), specialized in counter-terrorism, who was working for the CIA. He is a...
