Out of Character

Submit a character sheet when you get a chance, and I'll review it.

I submitted my character

Alright, we have five characters and backstories. Just waiting for Bleak to submit a sheet and we can get started. I'll post the intro scene tomorrow (probably later in the day).

Now, as someone who's never actually played on the site before, what's the preferred writing style? It seems like third person, current tense? IE, "Antoine sits down", not "I sit down" or "Antoine sat down".

It varies for sure. First person is more immersive, but I'm more comfortable writing in third. I personally don't mind if you switch on your whim.

Definitely would prefer third person. So, present tense as well?

Present tense works great.

Okay, switched up my tense to match Bleak, just cause I feel more comfortable with it anyway.

When a game goes quiet, it's generally a sign of one of three things.
1) that players are all simultaneously and coincidentally busy with life
2) the players don't know what to do next
3) interest has waned

In the interests of not wasting too much of our time, any thoughts?

Regretfully, I've found that I don't really know what I'm doing with Carmen. If that makes any sense. I don't quite know what I want hey motivations or personality to be, and it's making it difficult for me to get into character. There is also a little bit of confusion as to what's happening.

In not sure I can help with the first part, but as to the second:

You agreed to Knight Captain Rylen to look into this disturbance at the village involving that old man's dead wife apparently risen from her grave. You traveled all night through a sand storm, and them slept in the old man's house. Now you've woken up and went outside, startling the townsfolk.

I think I'm gonna have to go on hiatus, y'all. College is A Lot at the moment, which is why I've been MIA for the last week or so.

I get that. What are you studying?

History, at the moment. I'm transferring to another school though, so I'm just working on a lot of application stuff. That's most of the busywork.

History sounds awesome. I'm running a Celtic themed D&D game (Roman invasion of Albion) and just love reading up on the actually history of the era.

That sounds incredible! That's a setting I've always wanted to play in. Love games with a historical bent.

I suppose I should pull the plug on this one. Thanks for joining and contributing while it lasted.
