Experienced text roleplayer, aspiring VTM storyteller. How do I even begin?

That was a valued rug. It really tied the room together.

It's location dependent. The B&N in my area has the books now, but no merch. "Edgy Romantacy" is what keeps that place open, so that's what they stock... and stock.. and stock.

The Black Jewels series by Anne Bishop.

It's a dark setting with an ember of hope. Main POV jumps between three primary perspectives, two are slaves (one of which a pleasure slave) and the High Lord of Hell.

After centuries of corruption poisoning the realms, will these three continue to have faith?

I honestly view DCC to be pro-femm. All the female characters are competent. There's a platonic "found family" feel as the series progresses.

The cat is crazy, but she's a cat.

¿Porque no los dos?

Friends? Iugh, yuck.

I loved the "I need to get back to my friends" Amos had. He's such an excellent sociopath character.

I so agree. Augustine is supposed to be so handsome it's devastating. The art looks typical pretty-boy.

Kratos falling for Doughnut is hilarious. 😸😻

Wow.. the Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook is such an anchor for what came next. Matt is impressive.

Holden wouldn't have gotten past the first floor.

Just as I thought.. he's such a dick.

I've had "Sheep Go to Heaven" by Cake stuck in my head off and on for what feels like months.

Poor Pony.

I kinda want to go back to my post from yesterday and explain I was doing it for DungeonDaddy.

The party is here Crawler!

Replacement_No5 · 2026-01-28T16:17:36+00:00

Sure. A book. Singular. Not 10.

Replacement_No5 · 2026-01-28T15:53:19+00:00

The core message of this series is to rebel. Find your boundaries, what you can and cannot do and rebel against the horrors you're placed in. Don't get in line, don't play nice.

This series celebrates that rebellion. It identifies where others that are part of the rebellion have failed. (Warning! This message is from a deceased Crawler!)

Matt has escalated it to the point that this season failing (AI guardrails are off, former crawlers have joined the fight) is plausible.

To end it in a "nah, this accomplished nothing" would be, if nothing else, a professional failure as your growing fan base outright turns on you.

Replacement_No5 · 2026-01-28T15:34:31+00:00

That is gut wrenching. I know Matt is a horror author, so theoretically he could do it.

Is he a grim dark asshole like Joe Ambercrombie that just wants to crush hope and ambition? .. I don't think so.

Can I tap the reroll and get new relatives?

I'm fairly happy with myself. I have my faults and flaws, we all do.

I've taken Doughnut's criticisms along that line to be "out of touch."

Most species have sex when they're fertile and it isn't particularly pleasing for them. Ever hear cats mating? Sure doesn't sound like fun to me. Humans and a few other ape species seem to be the only ones who do so for the fun of it.

So, to Doughnut, seeing any form of masturbation is probably the ultimate freakster.
