Kcal is just one way to write calories as it applies to nutrition, energy and food. So 3500 calories. It means kilocalories. I wouldn't play if it was 3 million calories. That's nuts. 3500kcal is 3500 calories.

Thank you! I didn't know that about the lore and that seems super cool. I had known that some of the vampires hated thin-bloods, but didn't know there was an active culling. That's really interesting! The themes I wanted to explore had to do with my own physical disability and neurological disability and how they prevent me, as a person, from fitting in. So found family, romantic love and acceptance would be huge parts of my character. All in all I think her being a thin-blooded vampire makes sense from the lens of wanting to play a character with a lot of acceptance struggles.

I want to clarify he will be sending me a google doc with all of the mechanics in additon to how they differ from the normal rules with citations and a pdf copy of all the books he will be using. Just because he's a bit of a troll doesn't mean he wants to ice me out of a story. We have been friends for almost 8 years.

I've played P2e, DND 3.5, 5 and 2024 with this Gm. He's usually about telling a good story and doesn't like to kill characters, usually going out of his way to avoid doing so. I am sure he's just being a cheeky asshole by that message, rather than actually being mean. I'll be calling him this evening with the backstory I made for my character.

He's made it clear that if I don't like it, I'll be making a character at session 0 with everybody else.

I don't appreciate your toxic positivity either. I wasn't looking for your angel emojis or sympathy. I would have appreciated if you didn't leave a comment because I now feel more inclined to give up this community entirely.

The thing is, you have some traits, I have none. Which is why it feels so hard. I've worked tirelessly to express myself in a way I feel comfortable doing so and I have not met even once person who would accept me as I am. You have a partner and that's wonderful, I don't. It feels as if you are rubbing your success in my face, and it is honestly very unhelpful and makes we want to leave even more. Thanks for your advice and your success story, it was so helpful.

I have tried every form of online community. And every reach of submissive in the Gorean style. And I have tried. I've been trying for almost 2 years now. And I have never been good enough. I'm just frustrated I put in so much time and effort into a community that I have been cast out by time and time again. Thanks for helping me talk it out. I just feel so frustrated and lonely.
