I can definitely post this roleplay in my sig too to give it some
attention! As well as I'll put up another post today! Yesturday was just pretty busy lol.

If that's something you want to do, then by all means, go full steam ahead. Don't worry about posting in a hurry, either. I'm probably going to be slow today because I'm messing around in Oekaki trying to figure out people. Eban is open but all the Palecrest folks are out of camp, so... Munch sent Athens toward camp though, so that might be something for Baron or Whisper, maybe?

[Sugarkitza]

That makes sense! My boys (and of course Munae) are all open
for interactions of any kind as desired.

Also for some things like hunting I think it will be amusing to roll dice
for the odds. (On things like locating food, but not so much most
actions.) It's kind of silly but since playing DND, I personally like that
taste of chance in some things I do. So I'll see how that works out for
myself and my characters..

[Ammy2-56]

Ooh, that actually sounds like a fun idea... man I wish my group would have another session

Just don't use weighted dice, lol

[Sugarkitza]

Of course! I actually use online dice right now and it rolls well. I do have a few
sets of physical dice, but while the price was generous they definitely don't
seem to roll well. Not that they roll high either, but they roll bad constantly
and one of my DMs suggested I just switch to digital while we are playing online
anyways. Not as exciting, but eventually it will change.

@kitza
I use online dice too... I lost all of my dice sets. :')
I'm certain they're somewhere in my house... maybe in the storage space? I really should start organizing stuff down there instead of just dumping it. Oops.
I must be having a not-so-smart day, because for some reason my first question after reading these posts were, "how do weighted dice work?" Like... they're weighted, genius. xD

Also! In your opinion... Should Athens interact with Baron or Whisper??? She doesn't like Whisper much, but I think it would be funny...

@ammy
Oh, people! When I did art a few years ago I only drew animals, because I couldn't figure out people. Then in school, I started drawing mostly people... and I stopped drawing the past few months and now I've forgotten how to do both. Great.
How do you go about anatomy and stuff? I'm trying to work on drawing again, but for some reason every time I look at a reference I'm like... :/ ???

@calamity
(it is calamity, right..??? I can't see all of the characters in your name, for whatever reason cx)
I'm... so into background music for scenes. Right now One Direction is playing for some reason and I'm like...??? These are not the vibes I want, BEGONE
*furiously scrolling through atmospheric piano playlists*
Oh, and now it's Lennon Stella... Interesting.

@Munch
So I'm not entirely sure if you wanted me to answer the
question but basically they roll more high numbers or low
numbers on average, instead of being balanced and rolling
everything fairly? So weighted dice could be more
favorable or less, but unfair because you are getting more
of a certain roll instead of randomly.
Do you play DND too?

And I think Whisper would be funny because she dislikes him,
and he looks down on everyone lol

[munchqueen]

@kitza
Okay, I agree. Definitely Whisper. xD

And I do! Or, I have. Once, before they kicked us all out of school and I stopped seeing my friends in person. 0v0

[Sugarkitza]

@Munch
Okay perfect! Whisper it is!

Also do you have anyone to play with online like over video call,
perhaps? If you were interested I'm sure there are plenty of
online groups, and I would do something like that as well. I guess
it depends on comfort and interest.

@ munchqueen
It is Calamity, yes lol went fancy with my username awhile ago.
And, LOL, you got some changes going on in your playlist, hopefully you find something XD
And, to help with advice on drawing people... I usually start with the shape of head. Eventually shape of nose based on the direction of where the head is facing. Eyes, then lips afterwards. When it comes to the body, I line up shoulders at a 40 degree angle starting from top of head to end of shoulder. Body length varies. Elbows are where rib cage would end. And ending of hands are a little past where the pockets would be on pants/ shorts (girls). Legs, slightly longer than arms. I like to draw bulky shoes, feet are awkward in my opinion to draw XD
That's just me tho >.>
