![]() ![]() I have friends like Aisha. Human friends mind you, but there are people in my life who know things which frees my mind up for more important tasks like remembering song lyrics and Simpsons trivia. I'll try not to overuse the "I dunno, ask Aisha." too much for the sake of the game, and to reduce the burden on Mindsiege to do my heavy lifting for me. ![]()

I love the word choice of putting a piece of yourself into your character. If anything, I think that's everything what immersive RP is about. Seeing the game world through your character's eyes and acting with your imagination as the consciousness that parses their experiences.
![]() On that note, just these few posts have already felt very immersive to me! Aisha is very much the character that I've created her as, so having your characters look to her for answers is already a great part of realizing her fantasy. If I'm ever out of ideas, I'll make sure to get the talks flowing for me to siphon some inspiration from the group. Incidentally, when I read about Mike asking Aisha about the music, I already knew what I wanted to write, only slightly changed depending on if she knew the song or not. I'm looking forward to writing the post after catching some sleep in a bit. ![]()

Your enthusiasm is fantastic. I'm still working Mike out. I get him as a concept, but his nuance still eludes me. I'm still surprised my application made the top five, and I'm definitely glad I dumped a secreted character concept on Hotsu in the ad thread since that might have been what elevated the application.
This is the only active game that I'm in currently, but I like this system and concept a lot. This might be a good time to ask our overlord what level of feedback they're looking for though... Since this is a playtest of a personally designed system how much or little feedback is desired? Will feedback be acted upon in real time? I honestly don't care if the game's rules change during the course of the game as the concept itself is what drew me here, but I'm not everybody. I'd say the ultimate goal here is to RP and write with like minded individuals and have a good time, but given that "playtest" is in the title I'm just curious how malleable this system is. When this is a published system will we get credit in the book? Will we get a free signed copy of said book? Should I stop asking questions now? "Just shut up and write Raylorne." is also a valid response. ![]()

I hadn't stumbled over this before. Just to clarify, but Mike was mumbling about some dialogue from his memories, not handing out food, correct? It doesn't really matter for the post which I'm in the process of writing, but I thought to ask in case I misunderstood.

I remember that I was supposed to keep my posts a bit shorter than what I did right now. I'll make sure to heed that a little better moving forward.

Correct Mike was muttering memories

Ohhh right that's what I wanted to do. I'll try to get another game post up tomorrow. I feel like Mike would respond to things. Worked 29 hours in the last two days. Tomorrow is shift 3/3, but I should have some downtime in the afternoon or evening.
I'd claim lack of time, but I did vacuum out my car at work today however that needed to be done I suppose. Then I spent a few hours making spreadsheets. Whether that needed to be done or not is debatable, but I'm now the proud owner of four spreadsheets.

Hurray for a clean car and owning spreadsheets!
![]() By the by, I'm still on the fence about whether I should invest time and money into Diablo 4. I liked the 3rd one for its story, but I never was a MMO player and I've heard that's what it's like. Do you have an opinion after having some time with it?

The fourth one has the best story of the lot. Graphics are good. Gameplay is pretty standard Diablo. It’s always online which sucks if you have bad internet. I’ve run into very few server problems. End game is a bit easier with the online part since other people populate the open world and you can collect things from the bodies they leave behind sometimes.
Haven’t tried the pvp and it’s optional.

Hmm, that sounds like it would be a good idea to pick it up in the future as a sale or something. Maybe I'll watch a few gameplay videos first. There are a few games that I didn't feel the need to play, even if I was interested in the story. Maybe Diablo 4 will be like that for me.

I bought the most expensive version of the game and still feel I got my money’s worth if that helps.

Sorry, fell behind on site business this week. Going to catch up on reading and then see about what I can respond to in a post.

I'm currently being delayed across the board by preparing for Outplay and on top of that catching a flu. So I'll post a response where Aisha reacts to Mike in a few days. I don't think there are any other prompts on the table, and Aisha won't approach the bazaar before Tou has digested his reality check. So my next post will probably have her standing next to him and giving him the time that he needs.

The next post can move us to at least the outskirts of the Bazaar (or whatever interesting encounter comes before that) as far as I’m concerned. I’ve done my melodrama. I don’t need a whole post just to agree to stand up and continue on.

Personally, I don't need every character action that is taken written out in the IC. If Tou regathers himself, I can write my next post based on that too. I just wouldn't be able to make such a call for another character. I also figured that the current focus was on giving the characters some time to interact without interference. But we can also move on. Both me and Aisha are curious how we will fare/fair with such a spontaneous jaunt truth.
