Mod post

This post is for people who want to play more general roleplays, I'm leaving this unstructured, to play please comment with who you play (even if you think it should be obvious from your icon/username) and what sort of interaction you're looking for.

If someone wants more structure/to take over handling general roleplays please ask and I'll be happy to add at least one mod for this.

Re: Where Matt has a real identical twin named Mike who is sighted and is Daredevil

Good to know the charts are exaggerated. I'd hate to reference one and sound silly. lol. Bridget Jones... OMG... I was part of this community theater group years and years ago... We were doing 'Pride & Prejudice' and I was playing Charlotte. A bunch of the group were putting on British accents (I thought they were pretty terrible, but some of them were so proud.. !!) Anyway, they were pressuring me to do it, too, so it all matches. So, I was watching those Bridget Jones movies to try and do it. No such luck. (You have to get me to knock back a few before I get anywhere close - and I probably only sound that way to me because I'm under the influence. Some friends and I would run our lines at a bar, I wonder what the people around us thought. lol) We had fun.

The North - is that kind of like the 9th Doctor's speech? (Game of Thrones... If only George RR Martin would finish that next book!)

We definitely don't want Mike to be a Gary-Stu, but... I think it might actually keep in line with what we're doing - so long as he's not too, too good. That thing with Wayne reminds me of Mr. Smith in Jeremiah - he does something similar. He thinks he's this messenger from God (he could actually be) and he doesn't remember his life or where he's from, but he can be from wherever anyone around him is from, speak with their accent, remember their local hangouts back home... He uses it got get in with people. It's so cool! He's played by Sean Astin. & I need to read this Brandon Sanderson sometime - I keep hearing how good his books are!

The eel... I should put a pack of gummy worms in the liquor cabinet. (My SO would probably think I'm ridiculous.)

I meant to ask - what type of voice was it you heard Mike in? Just curious since I haven't those books. (I've heard other authors I like mention him when I was at GenCon last year - made a mental note to check him out and forgot when I came home. LOL.)

Kind of difficult to describe really. It's not even just the accent, which is totally wrong because it's not even really an American accent, definitely not New York, more like American meets a hint of Australia or cockney London... I dunno. The main thing with is is the words he uses and the way he talks, "that's right unfair, that is," and c'mon mate," and just stuff like that. I mean, the accent itself is just the guy reading it's interpretation of it, but the dialect is all wrong too! But I think personality-wise he's very similar to Mike, and that's what's gotten them mixed up my my head

Yeah, Christopher Eccleston is from Manchester, that's about two hours drive from here. I'm from Yorkshire though, so it's a little different. Specifically, Hull. Personally, I like the accent here, but it's a minority opinion. EVen most people from here don't like out accent. I don't think there are any I *don't* like though :-)

I've never heard of Jeremiah, is it a TV show? Sounds pretty interesting. I'd definitely reccomend Brandon Sanderson if you're into fantasy stuff, he creates these incredibly complicated worlds with different magical rules and abilities that people have, but writes in this really accessible, non-pretentious way. It's very cool. I kind of stumbled actress his stuff a few years and, and I think I've just about read everything he's written now.

Cool. I think accents are interesting. I have no gift for mimicry - that's more my SO's territory. He'll mimic characters on TV, people he knows, and does a spot-on impression of his dad, who's from India... Myself, I'm just lucky people understand me. (As a kid I needed speech lessons. I still have a tendency to talk out my nose if I don't actively concentrate on not doing it. But, it's nothing people notice anymore.)

Yeah, Jeremiah is a TV show. It only has two seasons and Mr. Smith is a main character in the 2nd season. (Not sure if he was in season 1 - he might have been towards the end, I forget.) He's my fav and real reason for watching. LOL.

Maybe when school gets out in a couple weeks I'll track down some of his books. I have about a two week break before my summer class starts up. Sounds like something to tide me over while I'm waiting for the next Dresden Files or Patrick Rothfuss's Kingkiller Chronicles.

Yeah, I'm no good at doing accents or impressions either. I can do a passable Liverpudlian, probably a result of spending my childhood watching Red Dwarf to the extent I can still pretty much quote entire episodes.

Another Dresden fan? I love those. It's been a really long time since the last one came out though, and I've heard nothing about another one. I've not heard of the Kingkiller Chronicles though. Are they worth checking out?

Re: Where Matt has a real identical twin named Mike who is sighted and is Daredevil

Awes! I love Dresden files. I even listen to the audio books. James Marsters reads them and it's like listening to a one-man show the way he does the voices. He's definitely Harry now for me. (And Bob, and Butters, for that matter.)

They're really good! And, I went to a bunch of the writer symposiums at Gen Con last year... Patrick Rothfuss was there. After hearing him speak at a few of the sessions, I like him even more. He seems like a good guy. (Jim Butcher was there the year before - he didn't seem to want to be there, though. I wonder if it was the crowds. I know I had to recharge in the designated quiet room a few times when the crowds were at their peak.) "The Name of the Wind," his first book, is worth checking out. I was so hooked I read it in two nights... Couldn't put it down. But, there are only two books out in the series, plus a side story, so they go quick.
