[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 5962912, member: 40413"] Maybe a bit beyond LPF's mandate but I get what you mean. I would personally like to [i]play[/i] something different rather than run it. Probably most people feel the same way. I will, however, start thinking about things and see if anything inspires me to DM something. Agreed. One of my big pbp peeves is the character that has paragraphs long internal monologue. Sure it's great to let everyone have that glimpse of what makes the character tick but I can't react to it; there is no action and no conversation and it kills the flow of the game and sets things up where everyone walks around in some sort of solipsistic haze not interacting with the people around them. Just bugs me. And having said that, I still have to work at not doing it myself. Yep. I've come to the conclusion that introverts/strong, silent types have no place in pbp. Which is unfortunate because one of my LPF characters is a meek, follower type and I'm trying to figure out how to modify his personality in such a way that he becomes more vocal. If I can't find a new voice for the character I may just retire him and move on to a different concept. Characters (imo) should have wild eccentricities and strongly held opinions that are frequently voiced. Those things will give other characters something to react to and can carry a game for days with interactions between characters. Well, the only games I see recruiting at the moment are two Mutants & Masterminds games and there hasn't been a new recruitment posted in a while. [/QUOTE]
