I mean forum based role playing. It did't work out becuase I am not good with following through on them, I don't have any characters (and don't really have the ideas to come up with any), and just generally have a hard time.

I see!

We don't keep a repertoire of characters at our disposal. Rather we make them up for each game we play in.

Maybe you just haven't found your muse?

Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I just don't think it is my thing. *shrugs* It isn't a big deal to me, though. And I definitely have a hard time coming up with characters for a specific thing.

I understand it can be kind of difficult to get started if you don't have very good teachers. But it definitely isn't for everyone. It just some that we really enjoy--mostly because of the level of writing and planning that is involved. It lets up flex our creative muscles, so to speak.

You have a bunch of typos today, dude.

I eagerly await your next post. So hurry up!

I know, i know. I don't know what to do about it. I guess I'm just spoiled by constant spell checking. Working on it! Making progress! Slightly less distracted than before! When will we work on the sire's character sheet?

I might be able to settle down and start work on that right now. Let me get a notebook.

w00t! Look at my gold count!

i know, right? i've never been this wealthy before. granted, i've never spent anything yet. ^^;

:XD

You haven't bought anything and I have an inventory full of items. Granted most of them were donated to my quest but I did buy two or three of them.

You spend a lot more time on here than I normally do. I'm really enjoying my time on here, but I fear it may be a passing trend for me.

I hope not. I know that only having regular access to one computer really limits what we both can do but I want to make it a priority to get a second access point to the Internet hooked up, however that is most feasible.

I'd really rather this wasn't a passing trend for you - the role playing we do on here is lots of fun and I'd miss it.

I miss our roleplaying regardless of the venue and genre, but I suppose I enjoy a little outside influence from time to time. The input of others.

What do you mean? Do you wish we had other people besides us involved in our games?

I'll agree that I miss role playing with, say, the guild from WoW but it was also really stressful and all consuming.

Yes and no. Every now and then I like the chance to join someone else's game--where neither of us are responsible for Gming and can just have fun with our characters. Unfortunately, we have yet to find one witha high enough standard of literacy to suit us. I just can't do anything below literate and advanced anymore, apparently.

I don't think it's the supposed literacy of the game but rather the management style of the Game Master in charge. Too many of the GMs don't provide an actual plot and then expect their players to do the work for them. Most GMs provide a setting - well thought out at best - and no more.

Often times the players don't even have an interest in working together for the common goal but prefer to focus on their own character's advancement and glories.

These, I believe, are individual failings, as is the level of literacy. Nevertheless, I just can't seem to reconcile it. It is because of the lack of structure that I am afraid that the other RP we were looking at will fall flat.

I know but, hey, why not give it a try?

I'm just not sure what we'll do while we wait for others to join. XD I am perfectly willing to try, though.

We'll work on earning gears, flowers and spanners

Does the idea of founding a charity together seem appealing to you?

I'm not sure. It would not be my first choice of activity. At least not until I have sufficient clothing. After that, I suppose, if i have more gold than i know what to do with, i wouldn't feel too bad about funding a charity.

What is "sufficient clothing" to you?

An outfit that I believe suits me. :P Specific enough?

Very productive, actually! We've been posting like crazy in our RP thread all day and have made tremendous progress in both of the stories we're writing.
