Message: <blockquote data-quote="Creamsteak" data-source="post: 383501" data-attributes="member: 552">I can read Edena's formatting just fine. It's not good formatting, but I'm used to it. Edena, you run great games, because your soextreme. Your on the edge of the coin, not undecided, but notwholy one-sided. (contrasting undecided with one-sided...interesting) And it can be stated that you know how to use thisto your advantage.But, in my humble teenage opinion, you mayhave taken the game a little too seriously. I have friends whoplay games that run the full gamut of extreme, but it doesn'tseem to translate into anything else. Hell, I've killed about 2million aliens/mutants/zombies in my video game/gaming life. Thedeal isn't what I say, or what my character does, but what meand my friends come out of the session with.If we come out with a feeling of victory, for overcoming achallenge... then we've done what 3rd edition aims for...challenge ratings.If we come out with a feeling of power, for pretending to possess some insane, world conquering power, then we gained something similar to what fantasy elements, specifically strategygames aim for.If we come out of it with a feeling of accomplishment and robustlove for what we just did, like in the IR, then we have gained trueentertainment from it. This is what I prefer most.But, even if everything you mentioned happened in my games allthe time, I really don't think it would meen anything. My friendswould have just proven them more immature than I originally thought, but that's about it.Hopefully at least they, if not you, played those sessions with alight heart. The way I play all things... with a little bit of elf in me. Cracking Skulls like an orc, but still with a little dance and frolick.Dark Fantasy to me is probably a perverted sense of thedefinition. I picture 5 guys and girls in a room dressed in blacktrying to out-goth each other with thier next description. Lame,pointless, boring, rantish, and most of all, a little too weak for mytastes. I play like a hero, even when I'm the bad guy. Somepeople don't, which must suck. Also, in this community we see that most players and dms evolveinto something better. Something that can throw in elaboratedescriptions, and be very emotional, without seeming like acomplete and total pervert, moron, or other type of negativeadverb/pronoun.Edena, your incredible charisma is obvious (if all mental and not atall physical, it's still pretty fricken high). I think you know how totell a story, be honest, and be a hero. I also think that you are the edge of the proverbial coin. The one in 100 trillion times youflip a coin, and it lands on it's edge.</blockquote>
