OOC DISCUSSION MEME;

[theearth]

Save the Earth requires a good deal of thought to apply into. Because of this, it can't hurt to get some input into your ideas or to get some idea of how other players will feel about them.

This post is exactly for that. Think of it as a creativity workshop where there are no stupid questions, bad ideas can get weeded out and good ones can get fed properly. However, this space is for constructive criticism only. Please remain mindful of that.

How it Works:

Put forward your idea for a character you wish to apply. Point out the parts you like most, the holes you want help with, the parts where you can't seem to make up your mind either way. Consider what sort of goals you'd like to achieve in the game, why you think the character is a good fit and what sort of roles they'll be able to fulfil. Don't be afraid to let it all If you have an app in progress, you might want to link to it. Similarly, linking to a resource to let others know the preincarnated character better might be a good idea.

Then, discuss with others! Hopefully you'll be able to make your vision more complete and understand the game better. Potentially you could formulate future CR or even pre-game CR.

Ah, you should. Fair warning: the first three are a bit tricky to get into (though the New Millennium Editions are supposed to fix that; I haven't investigated those, and as far as I can tell they're ebook-only at the moment), so you might want to start with number 4: A Wizard Abroad. Which, probably by coincidence, has a (non-wizardly) kitten as a moderately prominent character.

Just, ah... try not to get too attached to any one-shot character, especially if they have a nickname; Duane has a tendency to kill them off, especially in the earlier books. Though I think there's only one character (or two, for sufficiently broad definitions of death) who's died in a book after the one that introduces them.
