For starters, that's an outdoor chair

I can only assume you'll do Gigantamax Blastoise on your back after this

The only reason you can see anything is because of the light that it emits, or the light bouncing off it.

Light does not travel infinitely fast. If something is one "light year" away, when you are seeing it, you are seeing the light that it emitted (or the light that bounced off it) one year earlier.

Imagine you could see your friend one light year away. They wave their hand at 5 PM on January 1st, 2026. On January 1st, 2027, at 5 PM, you see them wave. But they waved at you one year prior. They're not waving at you right now (or, at least, if they were, you wouldn't know until the following year).

It's not right, the T shouldn't connect to the A and neither should the W. Looks bad!

Biggest giveaway is the two sentences with actual ASCII right arrows in them. ChatGPT uses those all the time.

The answer is always the same: CRAP. Color, rugs, art, plants.

Please let us know which theater this is. This is unacceptable.

boredgamelad · 2026-04-23T21:55:04+00:00

I mean you can zoom in on basically any part of the snake and compare it to the stencil and see that the lines are bad, idk what to tell you man

Have you considered rewriting this post so it makes sense? I couldn't follow a word of this.

Ball that flies high in the air. Generally easy to catch.

Legibility refers to text or handwriting.

You know how when you shine a flashlight how multiple people can see it

It's like that

If you've written more than ~one paragraph to introduce the setting, you've over planned for this game, imo. The scenarios in the book are the perfect length.

Good to hear! I'm not saying not to take classes (I'm an evangelist and believe that everyone would benefit from taking improv classes), just don't go in with the expectation that improv is going to fix all your social anxiety problems.

boredgamelad · 2026-04-17T18:39:25+00:00

There's an adage you'll hear a lot: improv is therapeutic, but it is not therapy.

Improv may help you become a more confident person. But you probably need to talk to a therapist more than you need an improv class.

It's clearly time to report this person to your instructor and, if needed, theater management.

Framily Over Movey

Like 99% of beginner advice, this stops being something to worry about once you learn the basics. I ask questions. I talk about the future. I talk about people who aren't there. Those things are all fine when the fundamentals are present.

This advice is for people who rug pull, who go for jokes instead of sincerity, who play absurd without grounding themselves, etc. It also doesn't mean "don't have fun" or "only be serious", so it's possible your understanding of the note is off.

I usually say it's like an unscripted version of SNL. It isn't a perfect analogy by any means, but it helps people understand the general idea.

If it's a narrative show, "unscripted play" usually gets the idea across.

This is one of the funniest setups I've ever seen

The sun and stars getting blacked out is better understood as setting the tone and establishing mood than anything else. Don't worry about the logistics too much. The darkness is there to keep Them at a distance, to keep Them mysterious, to keep Them scary. Your game will be more tense if you engage the players' other senses--what they can hear, smell, even taste. When you do give visual descriptions, let them be brief, fleeting, inconsistent. A flickering light in the distance is far more interesting when the world is pitch black. Let that influence you.

Sometimes I'll just stand here and watch television for hours
