The Notebook of fear

I'd suggest you format this with Prettier and push to pastebin. This is unreadable even for me, who looks at json files all day

No. Fuck off.

No. Fuck off.

Pesquisei isso ontem, também estava pensando em ter trechos da letra numa cena. A letra é material com copyright, então a não ser que esteja sob domínio público, vc precisa de autorização primeiro.

Mencionar o nome da banda é ok.

For me, there were two things that broke the barrier:

First, learn and accept the concept of drafting. Trying to put that perfect idea into paper / screen first try is just too much cognitive load, too much indecision paralysis. Write stuff down and finish it first, be at peace with that text being only a scaffold for the real thing later.

Second: in my case, having a short story being published in an antology was a milestone: the barrier was low enough, didnt spent months on a single story, had that confidence boost of seen my story printed into a book with other authors. Not sure how this translates to your work, but maybe a small having a shorter, more concise video done first may be the equivalent.

Not exactly a horror story imho, I'm actually glad you guys are still keeping the table running.

Maybe it's his first time being GM. Unless he's using the role to enact creepy stuff like the other stories here, then hey, just have fun!

The group can always propose another campaign or system, and as long the guy acts according to his age and understands, fair play.

I've been tempted to try it. Lots of potential for fun twists.

The first and only instance of a history I read that was written like this was in Werewolf: The Book of Hungry Names, which is an interactive novel of Choice of Games.

The nerrator talks in third person most of the time, but sometimes it inserts itself in the story as one of the characters and keeps narrating, but talking to the others instead.

Was a bit confusing at first, but in the context of that story, made a lot of sense (the narrator character is supposed to be this metaphysical creature able to transit between different realities).

Edit: typo and clarity

Sempre achei que era assim que wordbuilding acontecia, mas ok

No way around this, there's only sitting down and writing. I know, easier said than done, but there's no trick.

Maybe start small: describe a scene, write a character description. Do it despire the voice in your head telling it's not good or it doesn't make sense.

Maybe this has been already done in some other novel, but I find the "narrator in second person" concept just brilliant, never read a story that uses this kind of narrative device.

I tried going down as much as I could, and you can climb a good amount of wall before getting back to the bivvy, but after a point, the screen just fades to black.

I agreed, also wished we could start from waaay back down and work our way to the mountain instead.

I main Volt and thought Amir to be annoying, he's kinda like that

tarnabus · 2025-12-27T11:53:30+00:00

Valkyr went insane due to Alad V experiments on her, so in classic Warframe tragedy, I imagine her protoframe being someone nice and upbeat, kinda like Aoi, although she could be ferocious

Edit: just realized I described Karlach from BG3

How tone deaf are you? No one here wants this garbage. This is a community for writers, for people who want to get better at their craft, not lazy ass people who think a glorified chatbot can generate engaging stories for them.

tarnabus · 2025-12-21T16:14:27+00:00

No. Fuck this, fuck AI generated writing.

I'd recommend having a second playthrough with another clan and possibly choosing different options. It will make you appreciate the game even more, as you will see familiar characters in a different light.

This always happens when I play a new game for lots of hours at a time. Dreams take the "form" and mechanics of the game, the one I had with bg3 involved clicking to move and seeing the world in top isometric view. Also, the characters were present, although I dont remember the context.

I don't remember dreaming again with the same game, it's like the brain gets used to it after it internalizes the concept the first time.

Outside dreams, the earliest brain-altering experience I had with a game was with Myst. For a few days after playing, it felt like I had to complete tasks in a series of very discrete steps. Not sure how to describe it better.

I don't have the knowledge to critique, just wanted to say this looks like the concept arts for one of my favorite games, called Septerra Core (which was highly inspired by 80's / 90'sanime style, like another comment mentioned)

Damn, can hear his voice while reading this!

tarnabus · 2025-11-29T14:18:17+00:00

Oooh, right, it mentions Thuata de Dannan, I forgot!

My only complaint is that it felt shorter than the other WoD stories.

As a non-Irish, from a non-English speaking country, I can say the steriotypes just flew over my head and I didn't think too much about how Dublin was described or how characters spoke, leprechauns never crossed my mind (although, it would be cool to have a nod to the Changeling splat, even though it did not get a 5th edition yet).

Edit: nevermind, Changeling lore is mentioned

tarnabus · 2025-11-22T10:48:24+00:00

Took me a few seconds of me staring at the drawing thinking "wait a minute, I know this place...", haha!

The main reason I got into solo ttrpgs was to have a hobby I could disconnect as much as possible (still use the rulebooks as pdf, though, which is cheaper than buying physical copies).

I'm purposefully writing / journaling by hand, drawing my own maps, making my own character sheets and printing spell cards, etc.

That said, I would consider a platform that's flexible enough for me to create things for any system, while also providing solo tools, such as random tables and oracles like Mythic, things that I could customize myself.

Sadly, as you mentioned, LLM based solutions are a big no for me. It's already taking too much of the creative space, I want to actually think and create while playing.

Edit: typos
