IC Journals:
As much as I really enjoy reading the posts that the players put up regarding the IC storyline and the action surrounding that storyline. I would be even more thrilled to read what the characters think about things outside the actual action taking place as a group.
I often ask myself, what do these characters think about when they go home? When they are having a glass of wine after a battle with the daemons or fail at trying to solve a riddle and their home alone…what do they think about? Even after Judas and Jolicia are finished having sex, what do they talk about over that cigarette?
I would love to see the IC Journals section of the boards used for just that. I think if we can hear what these individual characters think and feel about a situation or an event it would give us more insight into that characters personality and might help us better understand why they behave the way they do. Do they have certain fears that no one else knows about or they can’t talk openly about? It’s these intimate thoughts and feelings that often enrich a characters development and help the character grow. Of course there would be the reasonable assumption that none of what they wrote in their journals would ever be transferred to the knowledge base of the reader, unless that character confided in another.
Your thoughts?
