Some of them are semi-incomprehensible for the player.

Which ones?

I'll grant you that many are more suited for more hardened veterans of war and conflict than a college student and a high school student, but the basics are still there.

I'll give an example of a character of mine soon.

Running late to work.  But I'll be off for the next few days starting tomorrow, so I'll have some time to update.

Again, any questions, please let me know.

Re: OOC: Talk the talk before you walk the walk.

I found two more people who'd love to join the Amber game.  Unless someone would really rather not, I'll add them.

Plenty of reading materials online. Perhaps a webcomic? I might recommend Erfworld, Dr. McNinja, Narbonic, Subnormality (hard to read on small screens), Mindmistress, Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki, Another Gaming Comic (flash based), or VG Cats.

Re: OOC: Talk the talk before you walk the walk.

I'd recommend Order of the Stick, of course, and Elgoonishshive.

Re: OOC: Talk the talk before you walk the walk.

Order of the Stick is always good, and they're in the middle of an especially twisted family reunion/dysfunction storyarc right now.

Normally I'd recommend Goblins, but the current story may be going into NSFW psychological territory, with one character dying horribly.

El Goonish Shive is good at times, but the emphasis on male to female transformations often leaves me bewildered.

Re: OOC: Talk the talk before you walk the walk.

Air patrol is a good one, especially if you're a fan of Anthros, but there is some mild nudeity.

Re: OOC: Talk the talk before you walk the walk.

*smiles*  Elgoonishshive's emphasis on male to female transformations are actually my favorite part.
But it's not for everyone.



The time for the maintenance seems to be getting pushed back further and further.  Is that just me, or is that weird?

Re: OOC: Talk the talk before you walk the walk.

It was happening for me, too. Maintenance is over now though.

What I like in El Goonish Shive are the characterizations and the unusual magic. Some of the spells Nanase has are quite rare in media and gaming books alike.
And try not to think too hard about Mr. and Mrs. Dunkel, or you might break your viewpoint. There is something extremely different about that family, and it isn't Ellen.

Re: OOC: Talk the talk before you walk the walk.

Welcome back, everyone!

It'll take months for my small brain to figure out all the new stuff on the new Rpol, but it should be good.

I took the time it was down to write up a post, and then ohhh and ahhh a little and then frown at what isn't working yet.

That's okay.  The best Amber game, after all, is still usually a work in progress.  :)

Re: OOC: Talk the talk before you walk the walk.

I'm heading to work tomorrow, and will have limited time to update.  I might try, but I can make no promises.

In the meantime, I have a request.
I'd like everyone to put a description of their character in the Description section.

I'd like it worded as if someone is seeing your character for the first time.  You'll write what they see, in as much detail as possible, as well as any obvious personality traits.

Done! I have gotten into the habit of doing that from the start so it was just a copy paste for me.
