Brainstorming Post!

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Apologies, apologies, apologies! We've totally flaked on this for the past couple of months. I won't speak for willbedone as far as inviting punishment, but you can make indignant noises in my direction for it if you like. *shameface*

Anyway, this is the monthly brainstorming post, and I hope this means you guys have a ton of stuff to throw into the mix today, so have at it, in the appropriate OCD thread! And they are up, so go go go!

Natural disasters aren't ... hrm. 'Triggery,' if that's the right word, for me? But I agree with you in that I would rather the game stay away from things that go places like that. Not 'dark and serious,' but 'things that some of us might have very painful and very real experiences with, and ones we don't especially want to relive.'

This is why I was so upset about the plague. Watching someone get sicker and then die while you're helpless to do anything ... it's gut-wrenching. My family refused to place my grandmother into a nursing home, so we provided hospice care for the next several months. And it sucked. And it breaks people into little pieces, and you don't bounce back in days, or weeks, or months. And I come to the game not to think about things like that, especially not in a tidy, clean "and then in two weeks, everything is fine again" fashion.
