Welcome to Phansite archive (beta)
You'll find here all archived threads from the Phansite forum.
So I went and explored 4chan's RP community...
And let me tell you, the folks on the /qst/ (quests) board are on a completely different level than what I've seen here on the Phansite. They even got dice-rolling mechanics! After I left in May, I considered taking my character to another RP community that knows what they're doing with their characters to see if they can help me improve mine. Since I couldn't seem to find an RP hub on Reddit, 4chan was the next-best place. The first time I visited the /qst/ board, I was overwhelmed and intimidated. I wasn't sure if I was in the right place to ask for help with character workshopping.
Did you just say that we don't know what we're doing with our characters? :thinking:
nice oxymoron
What you doin tho

Ah yes, dice rolling. Speaking as someone who plays a lot of tabletop RPGs I understand the appeal in dice rolling, but honestly, such a thing wouldn't really work here. Everyone uses far too many characters from too many places for any dice system not to fall flat when confronted by the differences. Part of the charm, to me. I'm not entirely sure what the point of this thread is? It feels a little bit like a jab at those who post here, but I'd like to think that's not the case. Also having been on quest boards if not the 4-Chan ones, I can say they really aren't the place for character workshopping this is true. Not to say they're bad, just that they are very much for quests. Character help is about as far as you can get from the actual topic of those boards insofar as I recall.
Golly gee it's almost like dice systems are archaic and throw in an element of RNG that can turn fights that are clearly a wash into fair matches. It's almost as if not using them makes you practice restraint that can benefit a character. :thomping:
what is a restraint and can you help me practice it?
lol no you gotta learn that on 4-chan and reddit you can't get that here.
I, uh, meant no offense to this site's RP community; you guys are fantastic. I only wanted to share my experience looking through some of their stuff.
Who needs restraint when you can just megidolaon people from orbit. Or tear someone's heart out. To each their own
an element of RNG I HATH BEEN SUMMONED
fuck off I would have won too
TAKE THE GODDAMN L YOU FUCKING BOOMER
Im suing you for libel tho
I'ma not lie man, that was a cheap win. Just so very cheap, I'd not call it much of an L when you only won because of cheapness.
i was voted to win therefore popular demand for this beary sexy man right 'ere now poor whatever his name is suffered the wrath of RNG pretty sure his name was kaz or something

Improvement has to come from you, there's only so much others can do to help.
