Fucking hell, dude.

I showed you my fucking chicken scratch that I used for Hawthorne and Golden Bird, right? This is leagues above that.

Physical RP Gs have a much more rigid structure and rules to follow, though. I can't break my own rules as easily as I can with text, so I need to be rather exhaustive in my info. Plus, I have to think on the spot more, so the more detail I give myself now the better.

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

I currently have seventeen pages of notes for my plot.

And I'm not done.

It's probably going to be about twenty to twenty two when I'm all done.

Maybe longer.

Being long-winded and exhaustive is my thing.

if im running it my plot has little writing involved because it is entirely on the fly

RE: character stuff: Also I really don't feel like writing a scene where Cloud jams his hand down his pants to check what's up out of curiosity and fondles Fen via proxy or does the anime thing where they immediately grope themselves because that'd be gross.

@Ram: I had a page and a half of some stuff I jotted down in a notebook at 3 in the morning.

@Norm: Do I need to know about Star Wars to get this? There's a lot of unfamiliar words here.

There's a lot of nerdy Star Wars stuff typed up there. The actual plot will be super simple and straightforward and I'll only go into super detail if the players insist. Kind of like Mass Effect/Dragon Age.

What particular words do you want me to explain?

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

I wouldn't be able to run anything without a detailed, orderly chronology in place.

I need structure.

I'm terrible at seat-of-pants writing and especially GMing.

And thus I have oodles and oodles of notes.

The great thing about Mandalore is that Mandalore is a planet that orbits a star called Mandalore in a planetary system called Mandalore in a sector called Mandalore, led by a ruler who calls himself Mand'alor.

Then I persuade the player to get back on The One, The Only Path with my Ruthless Techniques.

Or I just roll with it.

Flexibility is a thing as well.

Oh I'd certainly let people try.

I wouldn't disallow it.

But that's a really horrible idea.

And would most likely end in a predictable fashion unless there was some real clever shit going on.

Guys, stop talking about your plots, it's so narcissistic.

Talk about mine instead. Flatter me, damn it.

Oh but I haven't given away a single detail about my plot so it's not narcissistic at all.

Also if you kill me my ghost will haunt you and reenact paranormal activity.

All of them.

Pretty much.

But I'm still scary.

Somehow.

I forgot Yakuza has karaoke in it

Would it be a bad idea to buy Yakuza Dead Souls solely for Majima? I've heard it's not very good, but this is a very strong argument to the contrary.
