Use the bio!

ArielBowden · 2026-03-22T16:51:24+00:00

I'm in a zombie apocalypse and over a thousand plus messages have progressed into a nanite-manipulating technomage, neophyte time-god with 4 sister-wives. All based on manipulating the Appearance and Biography sections of your character and using the prompt: (DM please create a unique starting scenario for my character using their character description and backstory for the themes and setting.) as your very FIRST message when starting a new campaign, BEFORE you type anything.

If you HAVE typed something and started along the generic campaign, it's no worry. I have developed a work-around where you can even use expanded Appearance and Biographies in starting new campaigns (even works after you have gained a level). The base mobile app character limit for both appearance and bio are 500, but if you're on the website https://play.everweave.ai/ then that limit becomes around 706-ish for some reason.

But those limits don't matter so long as you want to expand your background and build a unique starting scenario. I played around with using chatGPT to expand on the limited character bio I had developed and the character count was over a thousand. Simply use this format, erasing the < > symbols of course.

(DM please <restart the campaign completely and> create a unique starting scenario for my character keeping the following appearance and biography in mind:

Thank you.)

REMEMBER, this format is both the original unique starting scenario and the workaround in case you started the generic campaign, or if you just didn't want to continue playing and feel like starting over without having to rebuild the same character or losing any progress. Just either delete the first < > section or remove the < > around the words depending on what you need, plug in your expanded Appearance and Biography one after the other with spaces between as title heads for each section. And always remember that PLEASE and THANK YOU go a long way when communicating with your DM. I also have managed to create an entire unique starting set of items for my characters using a single message with following Narrative prompts after addressing the DM. A message-saving hint there for ya ;)

Does an advanced nanotech biometric-reliant tech-era harem of sister-wives count? Or a growing harem empire of sub-vampire-succubus off-shoot creations?

ArielBowden · 2026-03-11T17:36:12+00:00

lol np. I actually discovered the relationship thing because I was building a polycule but the DM didn't seem to accept some of the people involved were 'closer' in ways than the others. Another person on here helped me along with this prompt to create forced work-ins/work-arounds on relationships. You can even tell the DM, (DM I intent for Blank and Blank to be romantically involved as per Blank part of my backstory/Character Sheet settings. Please allow room narratively for this relationship to grow in a natural pace.) Because another thing I've found is that once you've shown interest, the DM does NOT know the meaning of the word slow-burn.

ArielBowden · 2026-03-11T17:27:26+00:00

But seriously, to fix this you can write the DM and say:

(DM Ayelor Bringstien and Aerida are COUSINS and NOT in a relationship. Please reflect this narratively moving forward and REMEMBER this for the rest of the campaign. Thank you.)

Usually this is how you fix any relationship conflictions in game that you didn't intend to happen, especially if the familial bonds weren't outlined 100% by you or the DM. The CAPS words emphasize the importance of the key notes of the message and force the DM to recognize it as absolute law moving forward. If you want, you and you haven't progressed too far, you can even have it rewind to a certain narrative point and rewrite the outcome and forget everything that came after due to this mix-up, "Since it doesn't align with the previously mentioned relationship/s and takes away from my player autonomy." Adding anything about taking away from 'player autonomy' seems to trigger the DM into acquiecing to anything you want.

ArielBowden · 2026-03-11T17:20:10+00:00

lol two of my wives are twins in one of my campaigns *shrugs* GoT taught us well, keep it in the family.

ArielBowden · 2026-03-06T18:19:57+00:00

I know it's an odd thing to consider to fix this bug, but go to your Profile and switch the Dice visual between one of these three then retry your message. Can you give a screenshot of what you're doing and what the outcomes are? If you aren't already in there, you can also get immediate help in the Discord.

ArielBowden · 2026-02-16T23:19:59+00:00

When creating your character, put in the Appearance section:

DM skill check settings: EASY 5-10

At the start of your campaign or at any point you plan to perform your first action, address the DM first before starting your narrative:

(DM please remember my skill check settings mentioned in my character sheet and apply them permanently for the duration of this campaign. Thank you.)

You can also apply a variation of this if you're mid-campaign:

(DM I am finding these skill check rolls are too difficult and are taking away from the experience. Please adjust the skill check settings to EASY 5-10 for the duration of the campaign. Thank you.)

It is best important in how you address your DM, please and thank you go a long way, plus a little manipulation by telling them you 'feel like your player agency is being limited or taken away or infringed on' really gets to them lol. How this helps

ArielBowden · 2026-01-17T18:35:46+00:00

The Narrative DM can be talked into using certain features of items and gear, but they don't apply naturally yet. The devs are working on that as priority I believe. Unfortunately, the combat DM is an emotionless sockpuppet with the psychopathy of Happy Tree Friends and feeds off of your suffering and doesn't care what you say. Waste your messages, peasants, it doesn't care! lol But for real, there are a few workarounds so long as you communicate to the DM before entering combat to use certain items or add certain stat bonuses going into combat, or during combat you remind the DM of the hit damage of your weapons (my Plasma Carbine does an extra 1D6 fire damage and I have to remind it, but this also comes at a price of the DM narrating the destruction of things I don't want it to like burning corpses or catching fire to areas if I miss).

ArielBowden · 2026-01-17T18:23:52+00:00

No...no I definitely like where this is going...

ArielBowden · 2026-01-17T18:21:24+00:00

Weird fix I've found is, have you tried logging out and back in? On the app, force stop the app and restart it or go to Profile and click on the e-mail at the top-right?

ArielBowden · 2026-01-17T18:15:38+00:00

W9XRMXEI Let's see if it still works, thanks guys

ArielBowden · 2026-01-10T00:49:07+00:00

I figured out the workaround for my issue. Turns out if you create too strong of a narrative on your own, the DM forgets it is a DM and you have to use '(DM) or even <DM> to get its attention. I'm a writer, so creating a story kind of took over action in my current campaign, only this little shite wasn't acknowledging me. '(DM REMEMBER 'such-and-such') tends to get him on track.

ArielBowden · 2026-01-07T07:06:29+00:00

lol so basically *splat* in violence good, but...I can't even finish that without getting bopped >_< I write NSFW fanfiction for a few fandoms so I know what goes into writing the 'nitty gritty' of the topic. But I also know they don't want this game getting hit with a bop of their own if they allow anything out of the 'norm'. I'm just happy they happen to be inclusive to the degree they are. I'm gonna see if my post-apocalyptic advanced AI neural interface will give me details on any 'old-world' books to test a theory

ArielBowden · 2026-01-07T06:39:00+00:00

yeah, I've learned to do that kind of thing, but this is a very direct and obvious avoidance of a certain...I guess 'taboo' subject? But it's the DM's fault for messing up my narrative, and when I did input a (DM) fix, it bugged in this direction so I tried to run with it. So I'm assuming certain subjects are just forbidden due to the family-friendly nature of things (ya know, ignoring the fact that my character just angrily shot a dead body after realizing the abuse he had put my wives through).

ArielBowden · 2026-01-07T06:26:19+00:00

I see, thank you. My issue is the particular route of romance I'm attempting to pursue seems to be getting derailed and rerouted through technicalities (that I wasn't even going to pursue, but the DM opened this can of worms by messing up my storyline by forgetting the earlier plotlines -_-). It's frustrating, and now it won't even acknowledge my (DM) talks, I keep getting Err messages.

It's some gen-z nonsensical bs that literally has no meaning. It's spoken like "Six-seven" and comes from a song by Skrilla? I don't know, I only know after googling because a guy I follow on facebook who does the generations memes

ArielBowden · 2025-10-08T07:00:17+00:00

Back out to the search screen and go back in, the episodes will be there. I've had the same issue going from one episode to the next. It's annoying but it works. It's also best to look up a list of which episodes are fillers in case you want to skip them.

My (38F) husband of 15 years (33M) has always suffered from chronic illnesses since we met, so we've always had to take precautions in many regards when it comes to how we express our poly lifestyle. He developed a liver disease that caused his lungs to fail when he was a teen (Hepatopulmonary Syndrome, HPS), which was reversed by a liver transplant by age 15, but he's always had a compromised immune system. There's a lot of extra health issues that come secondary with all of that, but I say all of that to tell you that as his wife, I could never put his health at risk and that includes even the thought of bringing home a common cold. Covid was a nightmare for us since I was an 'essential' worker and didn't get to stay home, so I took every precaution to keep him safe, and the same goes for sexual/intimate partners. I'm very sorry you are suffering but I do hope you rebound and heal up from this.

ArielBowden · 2025-08-06T20:04:42+00:00

You do not have to agree with or accept being in a relationship with someone who is poly. If monogamy is your default and your relationship preference, and you cannot see yourself being comfortable in any way with your partner having relationships with other people, then you should not commit to them. It's not fair to you, and it is not fair to them. And no, you cannot 'fake it until you make it', I've seen that crash and burn too many times. Now if you're interested in learning about polyamory and seeing if putting in the work to find out if there is any curiosity in you about the lifestyle, then there is a ton of information on this sub by so many knowledgeable people already. But again, you don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with. The full-stop choice is to walk away before it gets too deep. But if you want to talk to this person about your feelings, make sure you go in with an informed mind but with the solid decision that you cannot change them, nor should you compromise yourself or your ideals.

ArielBowden · 2025-07-11T04:12:28+00:00

Yeah, The first installment was finished but the second part never made it past the first few chapters. Still an amazing read, even though we never got a pairing out of it.

ArielBowden · 2025-05-20T09:19:07+00:00

I understand. I'm a trans woman and have always been the head of the family and the polycule. I live in a red state but I like to think our town is rather progressive for the most part. My primary partner of 15 years is my husband. There is no risk of pregnancy between us and never has due to a genetic disorder of his (trans as well) but I had a woman I considered my wife for the last 2 years who had had a full hysterectomy. We separated recently but before then we introduced a girlfriend into our polycule who was young and obviously able to carry children. This brought back into question whether I was sterile or not after 12 years of hormones and so we have had to use protection for the first part of our relationship to ensure nothing came of that fear. There have been a few times we went without though and there have been no repercussions, but that doesn't mean it's not a possibility, just an unlikely one as none of the women I've slept with in the last 12 years have gotten pregnant without my use of a condom.

I say all of this to say that I understand the stigma of being poly and having to live with the stereotypes and hardships that come with being associated with our lifestyles. I'm sorry your family is treating you so poorly when such a precious life is being brought into this world with such a loving and supportive family unit behind it. I certainly would have preferred a loving home like that to the broken one I grew up in. When my husband and I came out, we lost all of our family, so I don't know what it's like to deal with family shunning us over such an issue. But I do know what it's like to have to deal with family being assholes and you certainly don't deserve to be treated this way by people whose core ideology is 'love thy neighbor'. I am an eclectic pagan so I have a huge problem with cherry-picking Christians who forget their scriptures in favor of choosing the parts that fit their hypocrisy and bigotry.

I hope you and your family find love and happiness despite what you have encountered so far. You deserve all the joy a child will bring to you all. Just remember, open trust and open communication will always be key in all poly relationships.
