A look at why tabletop roleplaying games are so popular right now. Have you ever played a TTRPG? If so, what did you think? If not, would you ever want to try one? |
| Sure, I'm thinking if I can find a local TTRPG group I'd definitely be up for it! It's not that much different from writing just the DM or other group leader is in charge of what happens next. Maybe I'll find out if it's possible to start a "D&D" group of my own for people my own age in Cape May County. Just have them bring their own dice. That might be hard but rewarding. |
| Many years ago, some friends and I played Original D&D, but with my own twist. I had a moderate sized room with almost no furniture. I used "T"-shaped pins to map each dungeon area on the carpet, sticking the pins into the carpet and using twine looped between them to indicate walls & boundaries. We used the plastic figures (3" - ?") in these pin & twine dungeons to visualize the action. It could also be done with the much smaller, pewter figures. I bought an AD&D set at one point, but never did anything with it. IMHO, it was too involved. It was more realistic, of course, but who wants realism in a fantasy game? In short, the rules were too cumbersome and game play was too slow. |
Placing yourself into the plot of the story can be fun, but it's a risky move... Who is the biggest Mary Sue or Gary Stu you've ever come across? |
Jeffrey Meyer  - I've been meaning to complete this series for a very long time. Started in 2009, and intermittently have gotten through the first four books. Not sure when the Dark Tower will call me to return. I haven't met Stephen King in my imagination, yet! |
| Jeffrey Meyer - maybe this reveal is the impetus to my return! It's been on my mind for a long time. |
Boring list poems are real. Here's some tips on writing the form so it's dynamic and compelling. What’s the weirdest subject for a list poem you can come up with? What list items would you include? |
Sometimes, skipping the scenery sharpens tension, voice, or meaning. What’s the most vivid story you’ve read that barely described where it happened? |
| I've been writing dialogue only stories for a while, and the reason I started was that I read one from an old pulp fiction magazine (c.1950) I found in a 2nd hand bookstore when I was a teenager and it gripped me. This story, a horror tale, was complete and it was just dialogue, two people with a third at the start, had me and made me want to try it. I haven't managed to reach the heights of that tale, but I still try. |
| At the Zoo, by Edward Albee. Not sure if that counts, since it's a script for a play. (Aside: At the Zoo holds a special place in my heart, because my daughter and I played the script out when she was 8 or 9 years old. It was a wonderful bonding experience for us.) |
Interesting newsletter, Jayne  ! When I review stories, I notice that writers often struggle with setting. Word count limits might be to blame when the setting is too sparse, but sometimes people go a little overboard, too. If I'm tempted to skim through setting descriptions in your story, it is not a good sign. |
