[OOC] The Pit Stop

[stepanxol]

You overlooked the sharp points. You get speed AND precision. Plus, you can play the piano and make it sound like an harpsicord

7/8/2023 11:32 PM | Notes at the Starting Line

1. At your start time, you will get a post in your game thread with the materials the player can see: premise and playable characters. You will also get a link to the GM thread for your chosen genre, so the GM can see settings, monsters, and tables. Game material provided can be used as is, or twisted, augmented, excerpted or extrapolated. Use as gospel, or as inspiration, or don't use it at all.

2. All art is AI-generated. You may use it in your posts by right clicking and referencing it at its current address.

3. If your GM posts first, and you strictly post back and forth, then your player will be writing post #48. If you'd prefer to have your GM write post #48, you can have your player post first, or someone can post twice at some point in the game.

4. GMs can use the GM thread for your genre to talk to other GMs or ask me or Fillyjonk questions about running your game.

5. Players and GMs can chat in The Pit Stop during their game run, but please keep a lid on the game material until everyone has had a chance to rip open that envelope on their own starting line.

This announcement and any others that appear will be kept in a post at Race Headquarters.

Hi, LC! Could Pseudenim and I have our game opened today as well?

[Fillyjonk]

Aethera and I also want to start today

[stepanxol]

So... how are things going for the racers that have already started? I'm having great fun (with banana, it's a given). I just finished my third post and we've already got our first casualty! Hey, don't look at me like that, fumbles are fumbles.

[Aethera]

[bothers]

Well, my first GM post was longer than I really wanted, but aren't the first ones always like that?

[Aethera]

*cue Aeth realizing that she could write novels for each of her 24 posts...*

I am only now realizing I should have just blocked every day for the next two weeks in my calendar.

[stepanxol]

that's why banana and I went with the 48-hour rush!

[Dworin]

I have made my first game post and I'm not sure what to say of my char's life expectancy. Either two minutes or eternity, I think.

Kill all your darlings, Dworin!

Sorry bothers, darling. You heard him.

[lostcheerio]

Yes! I will open pseudemin/bananabadger and Fillyjonk/Aethera in a few minutes.

Yay everybody! Go go go! It's exciting to see people using the materials -- Filly and I worked hard on putting these games together and it's so rewarding to see them in action. Yes, I peeked. <3 A little bit.

LOL. Fortunately bothers knows I have a record of dubious advice!

How's your game going?
