Syphoning this off from the GG discussion so that it doesn't devolve into a mindless bitchfit liek every RP discussion inevitably does: Particularly if you're sick of a certain subset of the board's population pushing their shit ideas onto every RP regardless of the fact they already have a place to do that shit. >>;;

But isn't that the American way?

Yes usually the American way to do that and of course spread half truths and lies... usually.

Well if you two find it so objectionable... Yes usually the American way to do that and of course spread half truths and lies... usually. Kind of like the stuff you spatter about to me on IM? But seriously. Not every RP needs to be about giant robots, mecha pirates, space nazis, atlanteans/crystal aliens, space crusaders, Imperial China, and whatever other half-baked ideas you happen to have. And Pitman. Killing vague parodies of other site members in your RPs, then announcing it to them over IM while you durhur about it does tend to piss people off.

I don't have much to gripe about, except that I can never find people to play in my RP's, no matter how much effort I put into them.
Who the hell is chipmunk0fdoom? They just sent me an IM on AIM. I'm confused. Very much so.
Anyhow, the only other complaint I have is that I can't find an RP that's as grimdark as I would like. Dragon Age is supposed to be grim and dark, but it's pretty disappointing on that front. Don't get me wrong, great game, but it just didn't deliver in the whole 'dark' aspect. I don't even find reading the WH40K Space Marines novels to be very dark or grim. That's the real bother for me, right now. I really badly want to construct a DragonAge themed RP, where it's set up in the DragonAge universe, but so much more dark, grim, and dismal with such layers of suspense and drama that people start having issues IRL because of it.
But I don't have the time right now. I've got finals looming ahead, a 10 page paper to write, a presentation on Prostate Cancer, Pancreatits and then a job to find so I can survive the summer.

Eh... maybe combine some of Warhammer Fantasy (which can get downright grim and dark, without going over into the "grimderp" that 40k has where you have skull-faced superhumans with bone-encrusted armor and weapons shitting piles of skulls in the name their skeleton god emperor) with the basic setting of Dragon Age? Like the bestiary, lore, etc. At the least it'd be a good start. But I'd assume it would be somewhat like Dark Heresy; the world is very gritty and well... grim, and its not a matter of if you die, but rather when and how you die. And how insane and/or physically and mentally crippled you are before you die.
