I am willing to take a co-GM under any one of the following conditions - A newer/inexperienced co-GM for the purposes of being able to see how running a game works and with little expectation to have the responsibility of doing rollovers/processing (outside of supervision) - A more experienced or reasonably reliable co-GM who can run the game in the event of an unexpected absence. Would not require much involvement. - A more or less experienced co-GM who wants to help run the game with the expectation that I run the majority of the game and they fulfill a supportive role
-
tbh the writeups are the most difficult part of GMing
-
I keep on thinking of the game by... I wanna say STINK, which was basically if you don't vote you die and there were no other rules
-
do you really think that I could see someone like you struggling and just turn around and not care about it? I could never live with knowing I left someone behind.
-
it makes things more difficult but also more valuable because it brings something new to the table, something new to consider
-
... you have no idea how concerned I am for your safety rn... okay well let me ask you this is there anything I can do right now to help you
-
wanting to harm yourself or even daydreaming/looking towards it is like, a major red flag. like a "call ems" kinda point. or a hotline.
-
I wish I could help you more, but I really don't know what to say.
-
yeah it's like, when that happens i panic and can't think properly. So I struggle to be able to answer questions I normally should be able to
-
well okay just think of like a list What problems are you facing that interfere with your life, what problems are you worried about becoming worse, and what causes them so like, for example if you don't eat frequently, that would be a problem, and then the thing that causes it is probably "poor self care" and then you think about what causes that and it could be "I don't feel like I care about my body" and then there's your reason or something like having violent thoughts, the problem is that they could get worse and you could start acting on them, putting others in harm. The cause is violent thoughts. and the cause of that could be many things but if they sorta appear out of nowhere then it would be "I keep on having these violent thoughts that come from seemingly nowhere and I'm worried that I might act on them someday" then you present these issues to a professional and ask for advice on how to address or deal with them
-
like in a way that makes me feel vulnerable. not in a bad way, just in a... discomforting way
-
well yeah but like you have to look at your issues as a set of physical problems rather than something that nearly fits under an umbrella.
-
yeah kinda... I mean I wasn't really prepared for it either people in the real world have a way of disarming me with questions that I'm terrified of
-
I have a lot less composure in the real world, I'd like to think, and a lot less wisdom to provide
-
well okay I'll give you a run down it's best explained by this story about a prince who like he was paralysised in the legs or something but there was not actually anything wrong with them, doctors checked and stuff and the guy was totally fine. So they presumed since there wasn't a physical problem, it must be in a different place. So then idk who it was but someone showed up with a knife in the middle of the night when the prince was in the bathroom and when his life was threatened, he was able to run and his legs worked. now, it wasn't that the prince was faking it the entire time, no, he didn't think his legs worked, but it was that there was a mental problem The key takeaway here is that you can indeed cause seemingly unrelated physical problems to manifest through mental problems but that didn't take away from the fact that it was an actual issue There's a sort of aspect about having a mental disorder that brings a sense of orientation to chaos that makes looking at similarities very appealing to people, I think. That being able to have a "legitimate" label or whatever is going to make things better but in reality it kinda just doesn't. sometimes it's due to a "wants it worse" mentality where essentially you just want to have things bad and the issue with that is that you make things worse by trying to make things worse and it ultimately ends up putting you in not a great spot later in life if you ever want to turn around Also like symptom lists are never a good way of determining if you have/should have a mental health diagnosis. Professionals are always better to consult than the internet.
