i'm old.

glad to hear you're taking care of yourself. still super excited for this one. really looking forward to seeing it all come together!

it sounds like fun! i'm all for minimum word counts - it's when i need to count how many words are in a post to equate them to gained experience that i start losing my mind a little bit. going statless sounds like it'll make things a lot more easygoing, and simplifying to X levels per mission is a lot less intimidating than counting fractions. great to hear there will be story progression too. i like it!

guess i'd better open up my pokedex. xD

off hand. but i'm left handed. probably learned from watching the majority use it with their dominant.

edit:: reconsidered. while it's entirely possible i'm just copying the people around me, i tend to take notes on important phone calls, and need my dominant hand free for that.

"pokemon as faceclaims" scared me at first, ngl. but as i think about it? the idea really grows on me. it seems like a good way to enforce variety. having a character limit, too, will prevent people from snapping up all the "popular" pokemon.

humans turned to pokemon sounds great. i haven't seen that in a mystery dungeon roleplay before, and i think it would work really well.

my wishlist for a pmd site would be something like:

no npc teams.
team up with other players to complete missions.

ongoing story.
the site doesn't completely rely on member plots.

lighthearted events.
festivals, contests, and fun games to keep a sense of levity.

no gifted canons.
guild masters and key shop owners are npcs. maybe their positions can be earned by active players?
( when folks take a break you don't want orgs and businesses falling apart. )

system-lite.
progression is great. word counting and exp tracking is not.

i might be the odd one out on a number of these, but there you have it!

layout is looking adorable, btw.

just had to pipe in and say - you don't deserve shame for this.

they do.

thank you for being a genuine, kind, compassionate person. i'm sorry that someone thought they should try and take advantage of that.

guess i'm living here now.

1920's prohibition era antics. speakeasies, gumshoes, entertainers, moonshiners, police, politicians, old money, new money, no money, blackmail. a jazzy lite-crime site. something mundane without the fantasy spin. light-hearted with a dark edge. animanga faceclaims, original characters.

i'm setting up camp in "please avoid." i agree that liberal use of the words "trigger" and "squick" waters down the meaning, and honestly? trying to remember everyone's "please tags" to tag things could get pretty daunting. myself, i don't like anything writing concerning the occult (ghosts, fortune telling, demons, realistic magic) so that always gets put into my "triggers." it's a popular theme, and i hardly expect people to tag it every time its used. i just want to avoid it in the threads i'm participating in.

currently in a lancer campaign and i am absolutely loving writing zero gravity mech battles. i have been eagerly awaiting a site that breaks away from fantasy tropes - and i am really starting to think mechs are the way to go. gundam, especially, would be just spectacular.

OMG im such a doofus! lol
i was more out of it from that booster than i even realized.

so 15! right --? yes!

...what happened to #10? ... 12 1/2?

PLEASE tell me this isn't an april fools' joke. i love this. i'm working on a concept now.
