Following the adventure... From home.

and I'm like....... okay that is a perfectly normal way to describe energy and reads totally clear to me, but I KNOW you don't mean hit points/health points which is the first place my brain goes, so what are YOU using hp to mean

and it's not explained in-text, which means it was common enough to not warrant explanation to the 1908 audience, so gotta look elsewhere

horsepower. turns out it's horsepower.

and I'm absolutely FASCINATED that a commonly used initialism from 1908 now stands for something different AND YET the contextual meaning is still the same to a 21st-century reader

I could hand this guy my nintendo switch and he'd be like, ah yes I understand, this ''''pokemon'''' loses horsepower throughout the fight

Cool, so you want natural fiber costumes with no/nuanced corset slander, people wearing colors, historical hairstyles, people wearing hats or headcoverings and long sleeves outside during the day, no potatoes or pumpkins in pre-columbian Europe, actors with textured skin and wrinkles, minimal makeup, consulting HEMA groups and weapons scholars for all the weapons and fight scenes, a good soundtrack that includes traditional instruments?

nevermind it

has no background, thus not being fully readable.

says [speaking foreign language] when not English.

is too small.

is one word at a time, thus hurting our eyes like flashing lights.

is in an awful font.

is in a colour that hurts or is hard to see.

My friend started reading mdzs and I decided to make a guide to help her differentiate between all of Jin Ling's uncles. And also flex my designer muscles on these characters

Nie Huaisang design was inspired by @cherizsaw 's design. Love it a lot

[ID: An MDZS character chart. Mo Xuanyu and Wei Wuxian are both grinning at Lan Wangji, who looks neutrally at Mo Xuanyu; Jiang Cheng is scowling; Lan Xichen is smiling; Nie Huaisang is smiling with a fan held up.

Mo Xuanyu: summoned mc into his body; Jin Ling's uncle

Lan Wangji: childhood tsundere; silently simps on mc; Jin Ling's future uncle

Wei Wuxian: mc in his original body; put the whole cultivation world on their knees and fucking died; Jin Ling's uncle

Jiang Cheng: mc's brother; pathetic loser with an inferiority complex; my fave btw; Jin Ling's main uncle

Lan Xichen: Lan Wangji's brother; he KNOWS; Nie Mingjue and Jin Guangyao's sword brother; Jin Ling's uncle

So i updated the list of all of the flight smp cast members (Includes pronouns for both character and Creator listed)

Note: I did make a minor mistake with shelbys pronouns it has been corrected from she/her to she/they. I apologise for making the mistake.

Hello! This is something I love talking about, not too much to ask at all!

Character bleed is when the line between who you are and who your character is gets blurred and you (for lack of bettwe words to describe this) begin to become the character you are playing. This is an especially prevalent conversation in the DnD and LARP communities, but it isn't really something I see people consider or know about in the MCRP space. It took me until early last year to realize how much of a crossover there is in terms of those three spaces, before then I viewed it as it's own thing entirely.

In DnD, one simple way to help differentiate you from your character is to narrate your actions in third person, rather than first. But for most of roleplaying, I find that it really helps to sit back and decompress after playing a character for hours. I'll listen to music that I specifically love, songs and artists that are not on a character playlist, just what I associate with me! (Flipturn my beloved) Journaling is also something I've found helpful, writing down stars and wishes for the session. Stars are things I really enjoyed, and wishes are aspects I want to work on more.

The one thing I cannot stress that I recommend enough is checking in with scene partners after a session is done, especially if there was a high emotion scene present, arguments/breakdowns/anything that could linger in the back of your mind after all is said and done. Just check in with them and say "hey! how are you feeling after that? anything you want to talk about or gameplan from?" Opening honest conversations for check ins helps to prevent internalizing emotions that you feel as your character- I feel it really helps to foster a safe environment. It can be difficult to shut a scene down, but in a LARP or TTRPG space, never be afraid to X card or step away from something if you feel it is weighing on your emotional or physical wellbeing. Your health and safety comes first over a game.

As for consent checklists, the tried and true one I love is by Monte Cook Games! It's a classic in the TTRPG community and can provide a great foundation for a session zero. I used it as a base and made a form for people to fill out, but ended up removing some of the preexisting topics and adding a bunch more to tailor it to the MCRP space. It gives a long list of topics with a red, yellow, and green box by each. Green means you're totally good with a topic, yellow means you'd like it veiled or not given in great detail, and red is a hard line of a topic you do not want to explore. It has a bunch of topics, some that most campaigns would never touch, but it's better to be expansive and cover all topics while saying most won't be in a campaign than to leave it more vague. For example, I included Religious Trauma because I knew my story would branch into that, so I wanted to make sure that I avoided anyone with my main backstory who marked that they were uncomfortable with those themes. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't interact at all, I would just know to be mindful when exploring my backstory around them!
