Re: Roundtable Questions for April 22nd
Nightblade and Risk Levels: Is it intentional that mobs with multi-throw increase risk substantially with each thing thrown? I was going to bug it but ... it's technically working correctly. One attack = Risk level increase. The downside to this is that one "attack" is actually three or f...

Re: Various Quality-of-Life Suggestions
The ability to STEAL FOOD or some other categorization for STEAL that isn't just blindly fishing inside people's pockets would be amazing - even if it's JUST for food only. Sometimes I just want to filch a bit of lunch, not necessarily yank someone's family heirloom out of their pack.

Re: Physicker PSA
I retired my physicker for similar reasons. If you're not jiving with the walk-in aspect of it and people treating you predominately as a service, I'd suggest trying something else. Arcanist has a good mix of stuff it can do itself while also having the whole provides-a-service element for it as wel...

Re: Wishlist Ideas You Want to See
It would be awesome if aging characters had more hair color selections, such as 'graying' 'salt-and-pepper' 'silver' 'gray streaked' 'white' etc. This should already be a thing for characters of age > 40, adding some grays for color choice and "graying" for the style choice on applicable ...

Re: Backstory Guidelines & Policy
To close off my participation in this thread since I've made my stance on it abundantly clear (and anything further would probably not be productive), I had a moment to think of recommending this to a VI friend and then having to explain to them that they couldn't play a character angled off their o...

Re: Backstory Guidelines & Policy
Ultimately, it's about being mindful and respectful of marginalized communities and their experiences. While roleplay can involve playing characters that are different from oneself, it's important to approach those roles with empathy and sensitivity. I think Maina hit it right on the head that such...

Re: Backstory Guidelines & Policy
At some fundamental juncture, I think detractors towards the idea of playing disabled characters while not disabled themselves will ultimately want to reconsider the notion that roleplaying things that they are not (or not "qualified") is bad or is somehow undesirable, given what roleplay ...

Re: Backstory Guidelines & Policy
To clarify, it isn't as if I don't see the basis for the creation of this policy, just that it seems massively excessive to cast such a wide and non-specific net across so many character concepts when there's genuinely blurry lines between what a trait is (and can be) and what instead might be refle...
