Overview

I might be misunderstanding, or we might be defining terms differently. To me, non-con is when a character is forced into sex without their consent. It has nothing to do with me as the player. It is specifically a scenario in the fiction where a character does not consent to specific (or any) sexual situations and has it forced upon them regardless. By saying that I'm okay with non-con scenes, I'm saying that if my character is overpowered, captured, magically dominated, etc. I am fine with the "bad guys" forcing her into sexual situations against her will. I expect in this kind of game that this will include rape type scenarios where someone defeats her and decides that they will have their way with her. That seems to fit with the general theme of this game. My character is a busty barbarian bimbo whose stats spell out the world SLUT. It definitely feels like the kind of game where she's getting fucked, whether she likes it or not. If she decides to try to get even with the characters who do it to her or never gets that chance, that's all up to how things move in the fiction. I would expect in the fictional world in which we'll be playing, a busty barbarian bimbo getting raped is probably close to something in our world like, "damn, they didn't give me my large fries, I got fucked in the drive thru" than anything else. It's common, everyone expects it, and it's usually too much trouble to go back and try to make it right. At least that's my take on it.

Honestly i realized i do... I am not that fond of noncon (specifically because of abuse), but i am willing to participate in sex scenes as a loss condition, since i plan for my witch to bee kinda shameless and horny, but also probably vengeful if something goes too far... Like scallding the guy's penis for doing things to her. edit; I see you are confused, but basically, you can do scenes you want and it wont be non-con since witch is pretty horny, but if it oversteps boundaries she will use magic to make them pay.

Yeh, agreed from me too. Things going wrong is just part and parcel of playing an RP game like this, so the character would certainly see it as a non-con situation, but me as the player would just see it as expected for failing. as with the others when in a group setting you expect that some situations won't be your kettle of fish and just jump past them or skim I have to agree with Isabelle here as well; it seems like the perfect use for a little AI art to add a little spice to any scene that characters end up in. My character's picture was, after all, an AI gen that I did myself. I wish I was good enough to get a nice background like the others have, but I think it still came out well enough.

I'm fine with noncon as a fail condition for my character. I'm good with that, or just putting it right in the main thread. I expect to see some stuff I'm not into, and I know how to skim and move to the next section. I'm fine with AI art for one-off applications like this - immediate result, nothing I'm going to dwell on, and I'm not patient enough to sit there and draw it myself. Online roleplay characters and scenarios seem like the perfect application for AI art, especially when we don't even know if the characters or game is going to last.

Not sure what you specifically want feed back on, but point bu point here's my take: Non-con. As far as I'm concerned, go ahead. Sometimes the fiction needs bad things to happen to the good guys. I can take it, though I do not presume to answer for anyone else. Spoilers. I don't need them. If things take a turn I'm not interested in, I can happily skim over and get to what does interest me. Again, if it's easier, more accessible and comfortable for everyone, use whatever spoilers you want. I will say that one minor gripe with ED is that you can't tag a spoiler. Super handy feature available on another play by post site I frequent. As for art of scenes, "Yes, please."

I just read it and... I dont think i got any objections?

Looks good gang. Still waiting on a couple of others who might join us before we begin. No lore drop yet; IRL has been crueler than I hoped. If you have an idea for your character's backstory, go ahead and write it down; I'll incorporate it into the lore somehow. Any objections to my clarifications at the end of my last post?

Can't wait to read it. Anyone else have some kind of resistance vs oppression dynamic they want to explore in a forum rpg?

I'm still writing it... she's already met the last woman he kept, been dressed for his pleasure, and become his dinner and cockwarmer. I'm probably about done with that idea, or will be before bed.

The next question is, have you scratched that itch or do I need to think about a game and a way to track blood and arousal?

It's an illness, honestly. I'm happy to be writing again, wish I could focus on just one project, and am weirdly into the idea of being eaten/fucked by a vampire who I know will kill and I can't say no and somehow that makes it all the more arousing.

All the rest of us do is watch in awe, we are in no way mad. Well, except with jealousy.

I got ahead of myself and starting writing it as a story. See how I get?

It's a fun twist on the sexy vampire. I like the idea of the addiction - the vampires' psychic abilities give them direct access to their cattle's pleasure centers. They can give you orgasms so soul-shatteringly powerful that it's almost instantly addictive. Unfortunately, the vampire only enjoys it as much as it damages you - it's a delicate balancing act that doesn't hurt the vampire to be wrong about. But their egos are remarkably human - having the cattle beg you to bleed them, "ooh, transcendently luscious. Makes their blood so much sweeter, the bloodgasm so much more intense...." The vampires try to cut it close, just because the more they do, the more addicted and eager the bloodbag gets, and the more intense the experience. It's just way less permanent for the vampires if they fuck it up. Meat dies and you get a new one. And that's why the thralls aren't allowed to feed - makes it to hard for the master to tell how much they can get.

I really want to intertwine the oppression with the sex. Make it so you can't have one without the other. The thing you want is the thing you want to escape from and vice versa. Vampire overlord premise is already dripping with erotic potential: power imbalance, predation, the body as currency. I think it would be fun if we played it as hunger = arousal, feeding = sex. Not metaphorically but literally. When a vampire feeds on your character, it is the sex scene. The bite is penetration, the blood is fluid, the aftermath is the post-coital haze of someone used and left trembling. But vampires don't just drink, they savor. They hold you still, murmur against your throat about how you taste, and your body betrays you: knees buckling, involuntary moans, arousal you can't explain or control. Being fed on is the most intimate thing that can happen to a human in this world. The main vampire overlord should be beautiful, bored, and casually possessive. He's had centuries to perfect the art of making people want to be devoured. He's so good at it, he's even written a book - The Art of The Meal. Sorry, couldn't resist the stupid joke. But seriously, he treats humans like fine wine, appraised, selected, tasted. He's generous with pleasure and stingy with freedom. He'll make you beg for his bite. He dresses you, collars you, parades you, then fucks you mercilessly in a blood-warm room while the city rots outside. His cruelty is the point: he can make you come harder than any human ever could, and he knows it, and he uses it as a leash. His lackeys should play more as "desperate middlemen" than simple ghouls. This is where it could get really lewd. The simpering lackies are half-turned thralls, ghouls, lesser vampires, all of them starving for a scrap of the overlord's attention and a taste of you. They compete to "prepare" you for the master: bathing you, oiling you, holding you down. They're allowed to touch but not to feed. So they rely on touch, hands everywhere, mouths on skin that never breaks the surface. A lackey who feeds on you without permission is committing a crime, so they find other ways to feed their arousal. They whisper to you about what the master will do to you and they get off on your fear. The overlord's manor is a labyrinth of velvet, candlelight, and locked doors. In this place, sound carries. You can hear other people being fed on through the walls. You learn to recognize the sounds of different kinds of pleasure and pain. I can imagine scenes like being brought before the overlord with other humans. He walks the line, touching, sniffing, lifting chins, chooses you. The others are sent to the lackeys. I imagine the first bite. He doesn't warn you, just pulls you into his lap mid-conversation and bites, and his bite alone makes you come. He laughs. Then he uses you, repeatedly, feeds on your blood and your arousal. Eventually you see an opening, and you run, and he lets you because the hunt is fun for him. Of course he finds you in a dark alley and takes your blood and your body against the wall, and asks if you've learned your lesson. I don't know if we'd need special mechanics. I have to assume we could just use some kind of 2d6+stat thing, but probably have your stats lowered by constant feedings and you're probably partly enthralled to him. But maybe you could use blood as currency and trade a feeding for favors, information, protection. Or have something where you're marked once bitten, you're and other vampires can smell it. maybe it makes them want you more, or have to resist you, or something. I think playing with some kind of addiction track might be fun. Like, the bite is euphoric and you start craving it, offering yourself, desperate for the sensation. That's the trap. Or maybe you're cattle, there to be fed from by the masses, but if you feed the same vampire enough times and you become theirs, some sort of chemical, bond, triggering a carnal desire even if you aren't attracted to them. I'm rambling. I guess I just got an image of being pursued by an amused vampire who knows I can't escape but feeds on my fear of him as he gets ever closer, then finally pounces on me, pins me face first against a wall, hikes up my skirt, touches me roughly, lets his tongue trail along my neck, letting me know what he's going to do, as I tremble in... fear? anticipation? He says something like, "You're trembling. Is it fear, or are you finally learning what you're for?" and then bites and enters me simultaneously. The fear is the realization that I'm prey that cannot escape, the horror is that I like it. I dunno. Maybe I'm just getting lost in some teenage vampire fantasy I haven't really thought about for decades. See what happens when I start typing every stupid thought that enters my brain?

Well, I'm having pho. You're welcome to come if you want. As for a game, oppression is where I am too. Eendurance, the bonds of shared resistance... Dark, claustrophobic streets and greedy, hungry vampire overlords and their simpering, slavering lackies?

Not to me it doesn't. But I'm the mashup queen. I think I want oppression, being forced into submission by something which cannot be defeated and finding a way to tolerate it until help arrives. But that might just be me trying to use writing and play to figure out how to bumble my way through real life as I so often do, and when I put it in writing, it really doesn't sound like a thing I want to play. So I'm back to "I don't know what I want to play, but I'll know it when I hear it!" which is literally the least helpful thing I can say. I'm like that partner who shoots down every idea of where to go out for dinner but offers no ideas of her own. Infuriating.

I'm with you, Izzy. I know the tone I want but not quite how to pull it off. I want coal wars, but sexy, with a generous side of cozy eldritch horror. But when I frame it that way it sounds - dumb? insane?

Yeah, I'm in that "I don't know what I want, but I'll know it when I hear it," kind of mood for a roleplay, and so far nothing has lit my fire. I think it's more that I'm not really actively looking, but if something trips all my alarm bells and looks like it offers a chance to play something intriguing, I'm in. Otherwise I'm being that jaded "been there, done that" kind of lame. Sorry if that makes me difficult.

Both? Either? The game I am thinking about GMing (and GMing to me is play, just a slightly different kind), regardless of setting, will use 3F. It will almost certainly not be fantasy. If you want a fantasy game, or a game using your various dice system, run it. Obviously I can't run your system and I have no intention of running a fantasy game in the foreseeable future. It appears you have a clear idea of what you want to play (and/or GM). That's great, it's more than I can say, I have little more than a vague notion of fists (and legs, nearly as frequently) in the air. Rebellion, resistance and revolution seem to be where my head's at (can't imagine why). What I do know is that running a game featuring magic, elves and the rest of the usual fantasy tropes has no appeal for me at the moment. Playing in BBB will cover my need for fantasy. If thaf kind of fantasy appeal to you: go, do that. I will root for it to be a success, enjoy kind of following along if it happens where I can see it, but it doesn't interest me enough to invest in playing it. It was the same with Izzy's Cortex game - it took a turn that didn't appeal, so I opted out. Some very cool stuff was shaping up, but it was a thing I didn't really connect with. Dresden Files is the same; people love it but I'm pretty meh on it. Y'all go, Harry Dresden it up if that's your thing. I'll sit on the couch and watch for a minute, but I'm probably going to go shoot pool at the first commercial.

Im just confused at this point, do you mean a game as in a system or a game as in a campaign?

If you want to run a fantasy game, by all means, do. I'm unlikely to play but that shouldn't stop you from playing what you like.

It can be fantasy but also I recently discovered this pulp fantasy thats actually also a mix with sci fi, though considering i play a witch it wouldn't make much sense unless we just wing it and say magic exists alongside tech.

Ooh, yeah, no. None for me thanks. "King" sounds like fantasy to me, but with BBB starting up, I've got my fantasy fix. Again, if that's what anyone else wants to do, y'all have fun.

Skullgirls is a tag-team fighting game (like marvel vs capcom) it looks like a noir movie, lore-wise is typical-ish fighting game kitchen-sink but plot wise game can be pretty dark despite the cartoony graphics, like, the game features dismemberment, kidnapping and unethical science experiments within one character's story line, but its fair you dont find it appealing. What about the evil king chasing mcguffin thing?
