I AM WRITE NOW, YES?

To be honest I joined this site for the purpose of asking people about where I could find the kind of games I am looking for, but considering how shallow that is (and because I don't feel like downloading the chat client at the moment) I've decided to maybe do something more constructive. Namely to offer my services as a writer in the form of helpful suggestions, ideas, and maybe even helping others with some writing. Not quite ready yet to commit to a full on project or anything but if I can help somebody with this God given talent of mine than I will. I can't promise I won't be sarcastic at time depending on my mood but I always endeavor to be nice, helpful, and encouraging. So don't let my manly musk and abundance of body hair scare you off...or the exuberant number of anime action figures...or the karate bug men...or them robutts...don't look at me like that, I'm being serious. Kinda. Kind of serious...rant.

Welcome I guess...

Writing is something I haven't done too much - until I was forced to as I started making a game - so it's nice to see people who know how to write. Maybe you could make a tutorial or something...

I'm also christian btw.

Neat. I should try writing some kind of tutorial, maybe even one that doesn't sound like a rant. I rant real good. Truth be told writing for me is WAY easier than programming, but part of that is probably because I've been doing it for so long. God gives us each a gift, maybe writing isn't yours but something else is. If that is the case than finding someone to work with who can write and help plan out stories, events, characters, etc. is vital to make a game work. Of course story can come second to game play and vice versa, but with RPGs there really needs to be a balance. Thus a two or three person team is a good idea for this sort of thing: Writer, Programmer, Director. (The latter of which acting not just as a leader but as a buffer between the other two.) Of course this is coming from a guy who has never worked on a game and is just going by what he assumes...like I said I rant good.

There is a need to let people know how skilled and committed you are to your goals, certainly. Most of the time to make your dreams come true though you have to be willing to focus on someone else's dream first. Helping out someone else to make their vision a reality is likely one of the best ways to get yourself noticed by others.

Welcome to RMN!

Thanks. And yes I do tend to disappear for days at a time. I'm fun like that.
