Cloaked Mystery

@stephie

A book club does sound fun, but my schedule is too full for me to be able to reliably read, so I’m gonna sit this out. If you happen to read a book that I’ve already read, I might pop in here with some thoughts when you’re discussing, if that’s okay. Hope you all have a fun time with this!

So, how exactly does discord’s streaming work? I’m honestly not sure if I would have time at this point. I’ve been pretty busy with school (which is why I haven’t been on KP much lately) and on top of that, I’m also training for my karate black belt test, which has been pretty time consuming. Things will probably be changing a lot…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Ah, great.

@keilah-h @princesachronicle22

We can continue here if anyone wants to.

@thearcaneaxiom

I just had an idea! Do you have discord? What if we streamed it on there?

Yeah, I do have discord. I don’t use it very much but I have it. You can stream things on discord?

Yeah, there’s a few, I could find one and we can revive it, or we can make a new one.

Sure. Probably better to reuse an old one, but it doesn’t matter too much.

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, I think it’s important to remember that it’s never bad for a villain to be non sympathetic, it’s just all in the execution.

I would also say that it depends on the villain’s role. Sometimes you need a sympathetic villain for the story to work. But yeah, in and of themselves, a non-sympathetic villain isn’t a bad thing…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22

Yeah, I haven’t gotten far at all in any of mine either (I mean I’ve wrote and rewrote one of them like four times or so and scrapped each attempt, but aside from that…) so lack of well-developed villains hasn’t been a problem.

My main difficulty is giving villains good motivation. I definitely don’t want to end up with…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22

I’m kind of in the same boat when it comes to villains. I have relatively few that I would consider to “exist.” I can probably count them. I think five. Out of those, two are of the non-sympathetic, pure evil variety (and one is just the crony of the other), two are not very fleshed out, and the last is only moderately well…[Read more]

@princesachronicle22

Okay, idea. What if the villains are already in the castle, and meet the groups that way to start working with them?

I’m thinking it would be better to have them arrive in a separate scene, so that they can be briefed on what they’re supposed to do. (I also haven’t even decided on mine yet.)

@rae

Do you want to go next, since you technically own the Lillenings, and I would assume they have to show themselves now?

I haven’t seen you on here for a while, so if you’re busy don’t feel pressured.

@everyone

Yikes, it’s been a while since we’ve RPd. I’ve been pretty busy lately, so I haven’t had much time. I might be able to some time tomorrow. I think we should go ahead and have them go in.

@loopylin

Keep dreaming! Ha! (I’m so funny.)

@thearcaneaxiom

Go watch the video for the WoR kickstarter.

@theducktator

He writes ridiculously fast!

@thearcaneaxiom @princesachronicle22

Did you hear the a fifth secret project was announced?

@theducktator

Hello! Your projects sound really cool. I love fantasy.

Thank you!😊

I play piano as well. I like it sometimes. What kind of music do you like to play?

I don’t play too much for my own enjoyment, but when I do it is often hymns, which I arrange myself. I also play music in church, so I have to practice that.

RP stands for Role P…[Read more]

@theducktator

Welcome to KP! I missed your initial arrival due to being sick, but now I’m here! I’m Jonas, more enigmatically known as Cloaked Mystery. I write mostly in the fantasy genre, but usually with hard rules that verge on sci-fi. I like creating magic systems, usually hard ones, but I have a few soft-ish ones. My current project, whi…[Read more]

@keilah-h

There should be 24, so 23 will die, leaving one as winner.

@rae

To me, all of those have a distinct flavor, except maybe Igua. I think that Nahim and Alpha definitely are distinct enough. For Silvanis, the fact that he focuses on protecting a specific person, makes him a bit more distinct. So, as long as each character as their own interesting characteristics, I think this is fine.
