It leaves more to the imagination in general, doesn't it?

The problem with measurements is you run the risk of someone who doesn't know what specific sizes mean and thus not being able to imagine it properly, or people who do know the measurement and will notice any discrepancies in descriptions.

So I asked this on F-List, but do you prefer a character's "endowment" in RP to be listed with specific measurements, or more vague and open ended words like "large" or "small"?

Huron Blackheart is now my favorite 40k character.

His origin is so good, and the way he navigates the politics of the maelstrom is so awesome.

I especially like how he respects enemies who don't kneel to them. He still kills them, but he respects their defiance because it reminds him of himself.

So for the past month I have been pretty exclusively been playing Single Player games.

God, I missed this.

I take a page out of the book of Warhammer 40K Homebrewing:

I keep things so low stakes that it's pretty hard for me to break canon.

However they are high enough stakes to still be interesting.

This is for the player: How much lore breaking do you do? Or do you follow cannon lore to the T?

Conquest.

His squad consists of a 6'4 man with strawberry blonde hair, large muscles, a love of animals and who babysits for Bleda. His name is Janos.

There is also an androgynous demolitionist named Muki. They are 5'9 and has a big butt. They like hamsters.

They have also commited war crimes.

I have a sci-fi character named Bleda who is 5'5, is in his mid 30s, and is a mercenary who sends all of his money back to his wife and daughter that he loves unconditionally.

He has also commited some spicy war crimes.

Like I am looking to feel like I am in FFXIV.

Not grinding at the club.

If I wanted that, I'd just play Second Life.

So the big reason I don't really do RP in FFXIV outside of Discord is simply due to the fact that so much of it is... Simply not what I am looking for.

So much of it is nightclubs, bath houses, and other stuff that Bohemond simply does not fit into.

For as fun as it is being an evil shitheal in KOTOR 1.... And boy is it, there is no worst selection of companions to have in an evil playthrough for an RPG than the cast of KOTOR.

I believe now the time has come to amputate this infected limb.

Does your WoL boil pasta whole or break it in half before boiling?

Cerix boils it whole, they’re not uncivilized.

Paladin + Red mage.

Duty bound knight who wants to protect the weak and a sassy fencing beauty who is always there to rein in the paladin when their balls are bigger than their brain.

weird question but indulge me for a second:
do you guys ship any classes together?

like i personally love dancer/monk for some reason.
white mage/warrior is cute too. #ffxiv

Yeah. I do find it interesting that the few serious RPs I found were all via social media.

This, as well as all venues being some type of nightclub or something is why I avoid RP on FFXIV.

In fact it is remarkable how I have been RPing since 2011 and yet only did XIV rp a handful of times.
