It's mindboggling that I've had better luck finding capable roleplayers in meatspace than on forums, somehow. Though, I guess, considering the group I'm running for, I may be defining "capable" in a very liberal sense. Hm.
Nope, still better than a lot of the wankery I've seen on forums. I blame the aimlessness of non-GM'd setups.
"You haven't told me what I'm looking for."
"Anything that might be of interest to Slitscan. Which is to say, anything that might be of interest to Slitscan's audience. Which is best visualized as a vicious, lazy, profoundly ignorant, perpetually hungry organism craving the warm god-flesh of the anointed. Personally I like to imagine something the size of a baby hippo, the color of a week-old boiled potato, that lives by itself, in the dark, in a double-wide on the outskirts of Topeka. It's covered with eyes and it sweats constantly. The sweat runs into those eyes and makes them sting. It has no mouth, Laney, no genitals, and can only express its mute extremes of murderous rage and infantile desire by changing the channels on a universal remote. Or by voting in presidential elections."
