Finding RP in a nutshell

[Krissey]

I was expecting it to be, after the first panel, along the lines of just a ton of lewd whispers soliciting ERP and stuff xD

Perhaps it's your in game name. I know a few people who would be turned off from RPing with someone named after a pony in a children's cartoon.

I'm also having trouble believing this is not a troll. It's very hard to take someone seriously with the name you chose.

This.

Quite a lot of people on there are pretty strict with names and their adherence to lore.

The comic is based off what alot of people go through cause they are either A)Shy or B)Nobody around to find the RP they want so that comic is pretty much in a nutshell with RP. I find RP with alot people and friends and the people who are strict with names well, its best to ignore them and move on. By what you saying since you are agreeing with him If someone was named naurto, Its not ok cause its from a popular anime series even though its a real Japanese name first? Or how about Genji, akuma,goki or goku? What that person is doing is limiting their RP aspect. That's no different then what that comic is showing, they refuse to RP with anyone in the inn cause they don't see any good name that fits with *their* lore.

Not their lore, the game's lore. There's a pretty big difference there, as the latter is an established concrete base that people can use to make their character fit seamlessly into the culture of whatever race they chose. People who tend to stick to the lore often have more promising results than those who don't.

Finding RP isn't difficult, all it takes is throwing yourself out there. It's a do or don't. There will be people who are willing to approach but not always.

I don't roleplay with people who named themselves after popular characters as I'd rather stick to XIV's lore for the sake of immersion and the RP itself making sense. For instance, a Doman using a Japanese name is good because Doman culture is based off of Edo-period Japan. It's apparent they put thought into their character's background. A Keeper using a Doman name and RPing with that isn't what I'd go after. I won't badmouth them or say anything negative to them, but I won't roleplay with that person either.

I expect you to get a little upset over what I said considering the other posts you made in this thread and that's completely fine, I'm just stating what a lot of people look at since names do give a lasting impression.

Sorry if it felt like I'm getting little upset with you, after dealing with that one guy, the way you are saying it isn't as bad cause you are explaining it well and nicely unlike him saying I'm a troll and I have no respect for RP and so on. And sorry if I meant *their* lore, I meant to say the lore in general. RP has different stances in how the a person precedes it, that's the whole point of roleplay, Its not just one way, kinda like a game of D&D editions, Not everyone likes the same version.

I rarely hang around the quicksand to begin with (I just do for fun and lols...and because my house isn't a city), but I can definitely understand this!

On the other hand, RPing with people you know it's better. Cap'n Obvious here, over and out!

Oh yah, the group I'm with is doing a D&D session, we just finished last night and I was barely alive covered in blood saving the day. The dumb ninja got spotted and were were surrounded by bandits and we had to all join the fray, a warriors berserk is like a barbs berserk in sorta way :P

That's fantastic and sounds like a ton of fun. I've always wanted to try and get into D&D, but I have literally no one irl to play it with (I'm the only super nerd, R.I.P.)

How does it work with FF?

We mixed and matched with basic rules of D&D since the first link is kinda unbalanced and not finished. We started out with our jobs instead of our base classes to speed up the adventure without making it boring. We'll try to do it where we do it base classes. When we do a quest or leve or job, we go to that location and the DM says what happens. We roll compare to his roll and based off the paper we add it out based of our stats and so on.
