Relapse Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Can I just say that not every post with more than three paragraphs needs to have "some suggested listening"? At first, it was a special and legitimate way to amp up the emotion behind a post, but as of late it's been cheapened to the point of silliness. I of course have no clout and by no means intend to make people stop linking to Youtube videos before their posts, but in my opinion it's often not needed and is really kind of irritating to see. 1 BZPRPG ProfilesIC: "It comes with the job," Halfimus explained, "I'm not paid enough to give anything outside quick flavour descriptions."

Silvan Haven Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 There is not all that much difference between having suggested listening for a post and putting music in a movie scene. Both of them help set the mood and give the reader/viewer an idea of the pace. "I serve the weak. I serve the helpless. I am their sword and their shield. If you want to strike at them, you must go through me, and I am not so easily moved." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geardirector Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I am of the opinion that accompanying soundtracks should be reserved for special occasions, and that there should be some space between. So far I've only done it three times, and I don't see another coming on the horizon in the immediate future. Some big posts work just fine without music. At the risk of sounding arrogant, the post linked by Shadowhawk (to which yours truly contributed) up there is a good example. The general impression I've been given is that adding a song or a soundtrack to a post is mostly for when something really important character-wise is happening. I hold no ill will towards those who think otherwise, that's just my take on it. BZPRPG Profiles Nuparu-Ferron-Mar-Zelvin-Wiremu-Farzan-Mako-Krex-Tamachan-??? Akiri Nuparu Posts: 1. 2. ...

I always use a rule for it. It's the same rule I apply to most forms of storytelling I do. Always ask yourself "does this enhance the experience or narrative?". And if the answer is no, then I don't. However, often I write posts to a specific track, and afterwards I do a lot of tweaking so chances are you'd read the post as it was intended to be heard with the accompanying track. I've done this before with movie scores and some songs. If it does not make it better, I avoid using music, which I think is a good rule. But that's just me. Although it is everybody's right to do this, I would suggest applying a similar rule. But again, that's just me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2 | BZPRPG Profiles | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relapse Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 As I stated above, I have no intention of trying to stop anyone who does it, I was simply stating my opinion. If you want to have music before your post, by all means go for it, but in my opinion it should be saved for special instances.

That's pretty good; I expect the Mask of Possibilities is one of the harder Kanohi to sketch, but you pulled off the feat with unprecedented skill. Nicely done. Although, to be entirely honest, due to my exceedingly, incredibly, overwhelmingly picky perfectionist's mindset as regards artwork of any sort, and in particular, artwork featuring my main BZPRPG character, I'm not going to be accepting it as her canonical appearance by any means, but I certainly do appreciate it just the same.

A little reminder, from the guidelines post in this topic: The linking to – but not discussion of – BZPRPG-related artworks (podcasts, drawings, interpretive dances, etc.) is encouraged in the N&D topic, as such artworks are usually really fun and somehow inspiring. For those of you linking to your artworks, be sure that a discussion link is, if separate, also included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
