Jul. 10th, 2011 01:02 pmNow that I'm finally able to return to most tasks I loved before mum's death, the one I've most been looking forward to was role-playing. It's a nice escape, to disappear into someone else's skin for a few hours and write their story.
Unfortunately, all of my partners seem to have vanished or not want to play with me anymore, which is depressing me. One of my best friends, who was also my greatest partner seems to not care, and my second best rpg partner seems to have lost interest...and I feel very...alone again.
I miss the good old days of email based games with friends or a group where the most outragous things could happen and it was all taken in stride by all the players who reacted accordingly. Now a'days everyone's bound by so many rules and regulations that there's no fun in it, especially if you're being 'critiqued' on how you play. It shouldn't matter, so long as you're having fun and not god modding.
Fanfiction is not a substatute anymore, because you don't get your partner's/group's reaction, you're not constantly on your toes, adjusting to the latest plot twist...
I miss living in someone else's skin for hours on end, but more then that...I miss my friends.

Date: 2011-07-10 08:48 pm (UTC)If you mean style, written-turn based (I write something, you write something, I write something, so on...though in a group that gets a bit more interesting...I've had several scenes where people were writing over one another).
If you mean content, I'm generally up for anything from fandom to originals, gen to adult. The more outragous the plot the better. My favorite is loose setting, multi-verse adult. I get to play with multiple characters, create unbelivable plots and almost nothing is barred.
