By any chance could someone teach me to draw or make computer art?
By any chance could someone teach me to draw or make computer art?Ohh, practicing, videos and practicing, practicing and practicing, reference and practicing, etc!
I can offer myself as an ok gun resource if anyone has questions and can't find answers or doesn't have time to find them online.Did you ever end up reading Dust? If so, what did you think of it?
@Forrest Looking forward to that too. For some reason I just find your writing style very appealing.

I plan on redoing it soon since I've been able to better focus my writing style better.
I'm thinking about writing an encyclopedia style run up of a fictional universe, but I can't decide which. A lore encyclopedia, like the Silmarillion. So, Battletech or The Elder Scrolls.
Create your own universe, post the cannon, then hold a contest with cookies as a prize seeing who can write the best story/host the best RP/whatever in that setting.
Is it okay to post creative writing stuff here as well? I've been working on this short story thingy and I'm looking to make it a stronger piece. It's not near completion, but as of now I'd like to have what I do have done as solid as a rock.
Would anyone be interested in giving it an edit?

Please do! I like your writing style; it's very engaging and fun to read to see what techniques you've used. If you share it on Google Drive, I'd be glad to add some speaker notes sometime.
@Forrest Looking forward to that too. For some reason I just find your writing style very appealing.AND OH MY GOD I NEVER SAW THIS. WHAT. REALLY. AWESOME.
Hm, I've got an odd idea.
Would anybody be interested in a shared world thread?
Like essentially we collectively decide on setting(IE Fantasy, Futuristic, apocalypse, to name a few), get down a rough time line (well maybe), figure out the major details, and then we all write stuff in that world. I'm probably not thinking about something, but I think this gets the general idea across, and I think it'd be interesting to see how several different people tackle the same setting in the same world.
1. Sure, I'll throw in some physical descriptions and some more backhround next chapter.
2. I love this suggestion. I will try to make setting more descriptive.
3. I suppose I could try longer posts.
And by "writers block". Do you mean Bloodborne aj?
I'm stuck at the Shadows of Yharnam, but I don't care because they are SO COOL
I killed the plague doctor chick on accident
Also the Plague doctor in darkest dungeon is female... Just so you know.
AJ nuu...
That cane whip has a LOT of aoe if you aren't careful in the fight with the yellow guy in Gascoignes old boss arena. Anyway, great armor with a GREAT weapon. 500 damage in 4 seconds if you get stunned by the first hit. It combos well in its transformed state. Like I said, the shadows names are Candlejack (Screw you this is my forum), Samurai Jack, and Jack of blades. That being Mr candle flamethrower, Mr swordsman, and Mr two swords and throws fireballs respectively. Good thing I brought myI killed the plague doctor chick on accident
Waifu no....

Majority of my reading is star wars, star trek, and an assortment of whatevers at the local half price books.Hunger Games was an OK series I read the whole series, that final bits of the last books felting really ****ing retarded though.
Also, I had heard the premise of the Hunger Games and felt it wasn't too interesting, then they made the movies and I just kind of forgot about it...
Okay. What's everybody's opinions on mah story, Video Game Battle Royale? Rate it from "It's kay" to "MUH TRIGGAHS"Its Kay. Not the worse thing, not the best. Pretty good for a first story here though.

IDK where this should go exactly but I've got a question, well maybe two IDK.My advice for settings is to set only the vitally important to the campaign stuff in stone, and make the rest up as you go.
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to write a setting for something like DND or other such things?
I keep trying but I either end up feeling like it's TOO detailed for my liking or it's too vague to be playable, so any suggestions for how to write a setting?

Awesome, Fura! I look forward to seeing those! :V
And I'm really feelin' like writing. Then again, I always feel like writing. Still thinking about what, but this might replace my whole thing for roleplay. I like things that don't have time/player patience constraints x_x
UGH. SO MUCH BRAINSTORMING. SO MANY THROWN OUT IDEAS AND ONES THAT SEEM INTERESTING BUT ARE SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DEDICATE MYSELF TO.Sometimes you just you just gotta go man. Just flow with it and it'll come.
I wanna write something. And I might. But I don't know.
OH MAN ALL THE FALSE PROMISES I'VE WRITTEN ON THIS PAGE...so not sure if reading correctly or not, but you're going to post in the library at cata? So the place most of us either are not going to go to or are unable to do so? Just pointing out that minor detail if I'm reading this right, but in the end do what you wanna do.
ANYWAYS I'M WRITING SOMETHING AND I'LL POST IT IN THE LIBRARY AT CATA SOMETIME
YEAH
I know, I know, but I mean...there's like, less than ten people normally active here. It'd help my motivation for something akin to a wider audience??? No offense intended or anything, heh.OH MAN ALL THE FALSE PROMISES I'VE WRITTEN ON THIS PAGE...so not sure if reading correctly or not, but you're going to post in the library at cata?

Plus I know a good few of you can and sometimes do still go online in the Cata forums once in a while.
Um, that's a bit aggressive... But still good points. Also welcome back.
Shit dude, uh, I'm not calling my writing good, lol.I know, I know, but I mean...there's like, less than ten people normally active here.

Okay so I've been away for a long fucking time, I've been forging my own path and all that jazz on the Youtube scene.
But I'm going to say this right now, putting some fucking written work on the same forum that made everyone migrate here and the same game whose development staff is now dead due to some egotistical knob being head of the project is probably the dumbest fucking idea I've ever heard of in my entire life.
You want to reach a wider audience so badly, go post your shit to deviant art or fandom.net and then shill it hard on Reddit like I did with my videos. You don't get big by staying in niches, you get big by networking within those niches. This place is a hugbox and Cataclysm is a dying community you're not going to get anywhere by posting it here or on Cata.
Even with saying that though I have to say its equally dumb not to share written work with the same people that you've been friends with for a long ass time now, instead forsaking them for random strangers on the internet that could give less of a fuck about you.
I'm telling you this right now because you'll never get your break out moment by staying within circles that you're comfortable with, you have to get out of your comfort zone but you shouldn't forsake the people you've been with for the longest time.
I left this place for the longest time because I felt stuck, I didn't head back to Cata because I hated them and they hated me, so I just kinda went elsewhere and started dicking around there. I really wish I didn't go as quiet as I did but things got crazy this year, I've been hanging out with a lot of people, I forged a new community from the ashes of HM and SS13, I realized that even with my own community I still felt something was missing and I guess it was that old bond that the old group had. I have so many new faces coming in and I don't have the same connection to them as I do here.
So to put it in short: Branch out and expand, take risks, plant your feet in uncharted territory. But don't forget where your roots lay.
I've branched out, kinda. Not in a way you were talking about.Passive aggressive snipAnxious snipOriginal snipConfused Snip
Dear Lord, reading shit you write when you're in a bad state of mind is not fun in the slightest. I'm so sorry for that paragraph and a half of salt.Heh, I've been there, man.
