As already mentioned on character's thread (which shouldn't really have been on there but is entirely my fault), I'd rather have you make a new character. There's sidestory going on that will include Skik. Unless you're keen on massive collaboration with me, you can still do Skik's part. But...

Wrote chapter two but didn't like the order of turn of events; too sudden for my tastes. Renamed it to chapter three and now working on chapter two through a different character's focus and perspective. If anyone is dying that badly to read chapter three (*insert derisive snort here*), then...

But that's not the essence of a true barfight. Where's the cursing, the name-calling, the insults? Rather than randomly capping some guy and fighting him for experience, I'd rather see the character engage in some shit-talking so he'll seem like a badass. Maybe raise the reputation in some parts.

*Thumbs up for barfights* I'd also like to seem something like this implemented into Fallout 3...er, Van Buren. But I'd rather have it so that the fights weren't necessarily scripted or part of a sidequest. Sort of like a random encounter. Arcanum managed to do just that. You could go into...

In order to be a writer, you need to be a reader. It makes sense: it's practicing your craft (if you're truly serious in wanting to become a writer). Like how an artist might observe another artist's work in order to pick up some pointers. Anybody can write. Everybody has at least one unique...

Naturally, I've gotten "Wolves of Calla". Yesterday, in fact. I'm among the head of a Stephen King cult following at my school and it would be shameful if I didn't. However, I'm taking my time to read it. I read "The Gunslinger" at an early age and only absorbed the archaic writing style...

I was never into the whole rotating and panning camera view in my games. Even in strategy games, I like to have a fixed view; it's one less thing to worry about. I wouldn't mind, however, Fallout 3 having such a rotating and panning view. Only because I thought that the transparent walls...

He raises a very good point. Consider NPC's as alternatives if your own character is getting stale. You can introduce NPC's but they're basically free game for anyone else who wants to write about them. RogueHex, for instance, introduced Jeeva and I've progressed him along from a slaver into a...

A good first go, Mialdor. I hope this one sprouts. However, you might want to resist the urge of adding footnotes to the story. When writing, have one of these mentalities in mind: either assume the reader knows the background or assume the reader doesn't know the background. If the reader...

This has happened to me, yeah. I made the mistake of letting Cassidy burst too much at early levels and Vic pays for it. Basically, all he did was engage combat mode and run away. There was nothing I could do except kill him off. Or, if you're really lucky, you might have a previous save...

Ho hum, good observation, Mialdor. I'll have to change that if I ever want this bad boy published. And yeah, I used too many big words. Shakespeare said that brevity is the essence of wit. But I was in the eighth grade at the time and thought that words with many syllables would fill out the...

The whole Ankh of Life deal that I'm writing about has some connection to my actual life. A while back, during something like Chapter Two of Lone Wanderers, I had gotten sick. Not just a cold but a major flu. Three factors could have attributed to my sickness: the fact that I was only get...

OOC- Onward, Christian soldiers. IC- Caleb was dead. There was no doubt of that. The old man, sprawled against a rock next to the canyon, wasn’t moving. His chest wasn’t rising up and down for air and his opened eyes did not blink. His last revolver had tumbled onto the dirty ground...

No pressure, Jacen. If anyone has major pressing issues to take care of, by all means do so. No one is holding a knife to anyone's throat. As always, we'll keep your character alive until you come back, Jacen.

Says you old man! If you had it your way, this place would be a morgue!

By the by, Maverick, I introduced your character in my last post in the IC thread. Jackson (or Jack, right?) already had a conversation with Dante and he and a few other mercenaries are defending the camp while the Blades make their assault. Read my last post for more details. Right now...

Kilrick, having just started, is a good place to wet your feet in the Roleplaying Board. I, myself, can't really write (well) in the first person, nor can I write short and simple replies without turning them into seven pages so I've opted out on that particular RP. But the short replies...

OOC- Let’s keep the ball rolling, gentlemen. IC- Dante surveyed the skeleton crew manning the Blade camp before him, his heart aching in patriarchal worry. The forty men who would normally occupy it were waiting at the base of the hill, ready for battle. In their place were town volunteers...

Sixteen but I've got the cranky soul of a decrepit sixty-year-old man. Sorry if I've offended any people who happen to be sixty (...like Odin :twisted: ). Sixteen's a good place to be at: too young to get wasted but too old to watch Saturday morning cartoons.

Yes, we should. New characters seeking to join Lone Wanderers should post in the OOC thread for permission and we'll work it out there. Locked to avoid confusion.
