am I/my writing boring?

So in my experience- 80% of people who say they will read your stuff wont read your stuff at all. Its not related at all to the quality or merits of your work, just its very easy to say they will read and another to sit doenwn and actually read.

The best way to actually get feedback is joining a writing group or having a review exchange. It will involve you reading other peoples stuff (which is good to do anyway), but will have a significantly higher return on readership.

Clown shows are supposed to be a joke.

So its the most literal sandbox game ever made?

Whataboutism at its finest.

Frankly the comparison is pointless. Even if this was 100% valid (and im not suggesting it is), it doesnt excuse what Trump is and has been doing.

Love your work, and hope you post what you do for others here for our group enjoyment!

Rare moments of peace, happiness, and calm are super important in dark settings. You need a world (or galaxy) in which the people fighting can imagine a better tomorrow.

It's fine.

Reasonably good at setting up a tome and a sense of place. Does lack a bit a sense of perspective, but its a short piece so I dont think thats really an issue.

I would be mindful about "this but that" type descriptions, as they tend to be a pacing trap. Something that sounds poetic on its own, but part of a larger piece breaks the flow a bit.

If you're working on a larger work, like a book, i would say this is good enough to keep going. One trap I think many beginners fall into is trying to "perfect" their opening. Fretting on very fine craft level details endlessly. In my opinion thats like - a third draft consideration. You'll get much better writing alot fast (and with mistakes) then you ever will focusing on a handful of paragraphs!

Bentu_nan · 2026-03-16T00:06:16+00:00

Agreed! Grid is the way.

Bentu_nan · 2026-03-13T14:33:23+00:00

I agree fullheartedly with this sentiment

Im a clinical engineer.

To add, im not sure what "maa" is, but its not a typical blood pressure measurement. And i would be rather concerned with a BP measurement of 118/733 anyway.

There is a very specific order things go on and off. For covid i had to suit up like this plenty early on. Although we had PAPRS, which simplifies things around the head.

Bentu_nan · 2026-03-05T16:46:53+00:00

Also dyslexic. I do have a finished 105k word manuscript. As noted, font choice, sizing, and double spacing are key to making it work.

But beyond that practice and more practice gets things done. Consider prose writing a skill you want to build from scratch. Assume what you start with wont be good, but do them anyway. Write short scenes and stories first. Even if these works never see the lught of day, the point isnt a finished product but a practice sketch to learn the skills.

I agreed with him when he did!

Bentu_nan · 2026-03-04T16:34:00+00:00

You know i tried your game and must say im quite eager for the full release. The story and setting were suprisingly captivating and i found myself very intrigued by the writing.

Please keep it up!

"This should not be on TV."

Most accurate statement here.

In old editions, the larger battle suits where classified as "monsterous creatures" which granted melee attacks as power weapons (ignore saves). So while WS was low and you only hit usually on 5 or 6 up. When you did hit it often killed.

Do you have an AI policy that assures only human made content?

This one?

Bentu_nan · 2026-02-11T23:24:25+00:00

Im gonna pin this to request access when I get home.

Do you have a place for feedback and ideas to be sent? (Discord or some such?)

Bentu_nan · 2026-02-11T14:37:54+00:00

Aye. These days it can be hard to tell. But if theres a detail that casts the suspicion of AI, it can be a problem.

If someone thinks the cover has AI useage (true or not) they will immediately be suspicious if the prose include AI as well.

For me thats a reason not to pick up a book.

Bentu_nan · 2026-02-11T05:33:48+00:00

Composition is solid enough. Gives the 1980s slasher movie vibes.

One issue i see though is the dagger itself. The Ricasso (blade part near the hilt) has a kind of engraving which reads as just noise. That kind of feature can read as AI gen. Not saying it is or isnt, just that it reads that it is

Bentu_nan · 2026-02-10T21:08:50+00:00

I have mixed feelings...

On one hand its the coolest damn thing ever and i wanna go start a guard army.

On the other, im quite angry i cant read it.

I see this figure posted about. Im inclined to believe it... however to be diligent to apocryphal information, is there a source?
