XD you're not at all! I was just coming here to add to the conversation haha. I know this post is about your opinion, and I think you've explained it clearly! I just thought I'd add in another opinion to the mix :P

I'm saying, that you think that, and That's fine! But not everyone will agree that it's necessary to. I was simply expressing an alternative view that has nothing to do with the validity of your own view. I'll still insist players make a personality section. I find it helpful and I don't think...

I understand. I just have a different view regarding the matter! :)

And my point is simply that you don't have to eradicate prewritten personalities once you understand the basics of character growth and development :)

I feel like it you feel limited by those traits, that maybe there was a failure to correctly identify accurate traits for the character. Like, if I list my character as a, y, b and w, but then I find the character feels like they'd naturally respond in an h manner, then that doesn't mean my...

In my RP, I use a system of points out of 100. I have labeled levels throughout, like, novice, adept, skilled, master, sage, and what not. Each of those levels serves two purposes: to give the player a concept to go off of in terms of how to consider their char's skill level, and to indicate how...

I start with an archetype: leader, rogue, druid, burdened psychic, romantic warrior, lonely shapeshifter, spiritual temple guardian, etc. Once I have a very general idea, I draw out my classic base character sheet. Age, name, gender, race, physical details like approximate build, hair color...

Avoid adding skills, traits, and other details that aren't justified in your character's history. It makes for a character that lacks coherence, in my opinion :)

I like groups of 6-10 because it's diverse enough for my plots, but not so big that I can't handle it alone having thus number also helps with players dropping because it doesn't out the plot on ant one or two characters, like with 1x1's

I don't think a plot or roleplay can be too complicated, but according to this possibly real/possibly not Einstein quote says: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." So I think the most important thing is that YOU understand it, and that you understand it well...

Mass joining and then mass dropping. There's nothing that kills a forum faster than a bunch of super flaky people who want to make characters but don't want to commit to the story and the group! Well, at least, that's what I find most frustrating :3
