    I’ve made this thread because I think is needed to talk about all things reducing the interference on the main RPG threads.

    Here we can say the problems, observations, remarks or whatever not directly related with roleplaying.

    If any Forum moderator think this is no necessary please delete it.

    Yeah it is fine.

    So keep any further OOC comments in here.

    All I will say is that in Roleplay just keep an eye on the use of alcohol or smoking, while allowed don’t make it gratuitous.
    Violence is allowed just don’t make it Gross/Gory Violence is not allowed, same with Sex scenes.

    I apologise for interfering in the thread, hope you guys can get back on track :)

    What about innuendos like Suki and Sokka? LOL We know they weren’t gonna play Pai Sho. Or kissing?

    @tracycruze
    Innuendos are fine, by virtue of being innuendos, you are just sort of implying something without actually saying it.
    Again don’t go over the top, If you know what I mean.

    I know the smoking controversy is over, but I want to give my opinion :)

    I’m totally against smoking, in fact, my girlfriend (today my wife) used to smoke from time to time but I imposed giving it up on her if she wanted to date with me, and I was succesful. I know, I’m a bad guy ;)
    Despite this I have a lot of friends who smoke regularly, and don’t see any problem if some roleplaying character here start to smoke, just think of The Lord of the Rings and Gandalf, he is always smoking a pipe. :)

    Quitting smoking is very difficult, but I am so grateful that I am no longer doing it. It sucked my money and health away.

    On other things now.

    When I’m gamemastering a pen and paper roleplaying game I usually give my players quite info to help game immersion, so I think we need to gather more info.

    Time situation: It seems we are after Avatar Aang defeated Ozai, but how much time?
    Geographical situation: we need to place the town in a map, and describe it more accurately
    Characters: I guess our PC (Player Characters) are well described, but what about NPC (Non Player Characters).

    Perhaps it seems I’m giving us homework, but I think this will improve the game experience. :)

    Yes, You’ve done very well. :)

    About drinking alcohol I must confess that I like to have some bottle of a good wine at home for those special meals with friends or family. I enjoy with a wine cup, this happens sporadically though.

    @arthan I have a tiny bit for a ceremony each year, but with all my medical issues, alcohol would hurt me. Besides, I get a natural buzz when I am able to write something I like.

    ok mabey the only one but I’m just a blue collar guy, I smoke a pack a day drink Grey goose straight to unwind and like nothing better then a mug full of beer and bbq on a sunday afternoon, I’m also 32
    and I abide by the laws of my state and country, I don’t endorse minors doing the same but I also don’t endorse censorship. But if any kid on this website wanted gore or violence or sex drugs and rock and role I’m sure any rpg he/she heard here surely wouldn’t put him/her over the edge I sure they would just “google magic” whatever his/her parents considered immoral. My vote is everyone relax I think there isn’t much to mod right now so we are getting a bit froggy at anything that seems a bit askew we are responsible people, eveyone (so far anyways) know the line so be cool and enjoy it

    I agree, everything is so nice that anything even minor is getting elevated bigger.

    But I think these guidelines are needed.

    @airspeed In all seriousness, I am glad you put the guidelines because I felt like everything I was doing was crunched. My character had (1) drink, she was bothered by some random drunk tavern people, but they weren’t main players and they were an important key to my character’s vulnerability. (Too many people in RPs don’t allow their characters any vulnerabilities) Then, I was called up for Firebreathing, when my character made a pun, trying to make Kuruk’s character laugh, and then when she said she felt safer bunking in the same room with him and one taking a cot, there was issue with that, so. I’m glad you laid them out. I don’t go out of my way to be vulgar, or raunchy. I love interacting with other characters, and my own character happens to be from our own world, and she learned to adapt through the Fire Nation via royalty, so she has some odd quirks and a corny sense of humor, but she is a lady. I’m not about to have her be a pervert for all eyes to see. LOL or do hideous things.

    Besides, I respect this list too much far too much, why do you think I was hesitant to post my fan fiction here?

    @tenzin You are an adult. There is nothing wrong with having a drink as long as you don’t get in a car and drive, as for smoking… Well, second hand smoke. *Cough cough* I can pick on you because I’ve quit several times. This time it’s coming on three years, and after almost dying, I won’t go back to it. I’ve done RPG in a lot of places, it’s quite tame here, compared to some of the places I’ve been in. The worst places are those who have characters who are in “God” mode, they fight you and you cannot do any harm to their characters whatsoever while they beat yours to a bloody pulp, those are the worst. I hate those RPs worse than the risque stuff because you can’t win with them. They try to control the whole Rp an decide the whole outcome of even your character.
