You're fine, Queen, and I think it's a compulsion to kind of power-game, Chloe. I used to do it too, and I still see a lot of people doing it. Because there are rules, you end up feeling compelled to min/max everything; or to pick this and that to make your character super, extra special and attention-grabbing...but it always ends up escalating until everyone is either a dragon a demon or a goddess...and then all the simple, fun stories aren't any fun anymore. No one ever does it maliciously, but if everyone dies in a system game because you picked flower arranging and piano tuning as your feats, you end up feeling guilty. :P<br/><br/>That's a big reason why, for this game, a lot of your success will depend on how you explain your characters actions. If you slide around you companions, ducking under a table, a try to slice the tendons at the back of a monstrous creatures ankles, I'm more inclined to let you be more successful than if you tell me you have three attacks, and you throw three daggers, aiming for the monster's eyes (to blind it), hand (to try and disarm it) and it's heart (to make it cry from all the silliness). It's all about the story, so if someone really wants to do something, and it doesn't break the story to allow it...I think that's enough fun and power. :P<br/><br/>Oh, and everyone is free to play with the OOC forum and to move their completed characters over to the character thread. If you have any questions about whether you're in the game or not, you can check the IC thread for our first story. For right now, it just has some setting information and a cast of (the obvious) characters. :P
