Stare at it for hours

Took me a few minutes to go though those lists.

That's just going through it. I meant actually reading, going back to your character sheet and putting them in, wondering if you really want them, going back to the sheet to read what they do again, editing it in to your sheet...

Which is even worse when I can't think straight and constantly wonder if I'm picking the right things.

Oh gods, the names... those are why I don't join more RTD's...

You mean Taricus and Serious? Heh, good luck finding any RTD at least one of them isn't in.

[Darvi]

Nope. I have a problem thinking of names that aren't the ones I always use.

[KaguroDraven]

Name problems are why I use my stock name *points to screenname* or a varient of it, usually.

[Riccto]

I either recycle or just play around with one of my friends names or my own.

[Tarran]

Nope. I have a problem thinking of names that aren't the ones I always use.

Oh.

You do know that your name doesn't really matter a whole lot, right? Just do what I do and input a name like... Darvi Andas and be done with it.

PPE: Ninja.

This.

[Darvi]

Well, ya. My screen name is for dwarven stuff only and I don't have any notable friends whose names I could use.

[Taricus]

In this case, I think I might use my own name for it.

[SeriousConcentrate]

I'll just drop this here for you guys. It comes in handy when I can't think of a name I like, either. Lots of useful stuff there, in fact...

[Draignean]

Same here. I just need a name and the rest of the info from Draignean and I'm basically done creating a character. :3

*Grumble grumble*

Let me get a shower and a coke...

Doesn't matter really, the campaigns are... open ended to say the least. As long as you give yourself a couple strong suits you should manage to avoid screwing yourself over.

Wait, I don't even have the skills up... Man, skills are going to be a whole 'nother barrel of eels for your hovercraft.

[Darvi]

I think  I'd rather use the random name generator of LCS... ya know, that would be an awesome backstory really.

[SeriousConcentrate]

Great idea, Darvi. ^^ You should go for it. As for my character...

Spoiler: Preview (click to show/hide)

Nature: Caregiver
Demeanor: Judge
Life: Kid
Death: Suicide
Regret: Failure

Yeah, he's got a few problems.

[KaguroDraven]

 
Well damn, same death and regret as I had planned.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Nature: Child
Demeanor: Loner
Life: Geek/Gamer(not sure where else this would fit)
Death: Suicide
Regret: Failure

[SeriousConcentrate]

As long as you're not Caretaker/Judge/Kid I don't see a problem. ^^

EDIT: Although actually I might change the regret to Unrequited Love, since he's more of a 15/16 year old than a child and it's a bit more in-line with my concept.

This went from about two sentences to about 6 paragraphs. I JUST KEPT GOING. IGNORE ME!

Spoiler: Rant on RTD's and over-complication and personal pet peeves (click to show/hide)

Whatever happened to those rtd's where people just picked up skill as they went along, the story was decent, the humor was fantastic, and there was no need for overcomplicated crap (such as backgrounds, appearances, age, and names) at the start?

Seriously, theres no art, so appearances don't matter (usually), backgrounds don't really have that great an impact unless it's really specific on focusing on it,, ages are superfluous (EVERYONE IS 23!) and names just make it confusing as to who is who.

Or maybe I just really like pick up and play generic fantasy RTD's and have been spoiled by the meta RTD.

I just want to see something where I can say 'In' and nothing else, except for maybe a class or a job or something, do awesome things, laugh, and be told a good story in the process.

And commit Horrific Atrocities, mess it up, and see what happens next.

I may be just Gushing about shows I like, but the Meta rtd really has it going on. The Meta RTD is giving me all I really wanted in an RTD, humor, action, bit of art here and there. Updates every week or so. All I had to do was pick a job, really. Open ended. Just... [Job: x] That was enjoyable. I got really interested to see how people interpret stuff like that in a clear way.

Maybe my standards got warped. I dunno. I know i can't expect every RTD to be a wonderful paradise of epic storytelling and laughs.

Sorry about the rant. It just seems like every RTD coming out has all this really complicated stuff. Or maybe the ones I really am interested in come out in the middle of the night or when I cant otherwise get one of the starting positions.

Because seriously, there's like maybe one or two deaths, tops, in the first hundred turns. And even then there's always someone ahead of you in the waiting list. And then it dies. I don't even bother most times.

RIGHT! STOPPING MYSELF HERE.

My inner psychology is acting up and telling me that your all going to yell at me for this. WELP.
