So so so
I have a roleplay in mind, but due to several things, I want to run it detailed style. Not one liner.
What is the difference between them?
Well, one liner is the style often used here. It mostly consist of dialogs and italic sentences to show actions.
Henry: I hate you!
He swings his sword at Kelly.
Kelly dodges.
Kelly: Like I don’t!
She runs away.
Hm… Detailed style doesn’t use italic and rely more heavily on description than dialogs. I sometimes use it to a degree in Nexus Hub, but only to a degree since the pace often disrupt the one liner flow.
His eyes were bloodshot. Henry no longer care about patience. The burning house behind him was the last straw. He couldn’t bear it anymore.
“I hate you!” He screamed. His sword was out of its sheath, making its way to Kelly’s neck.
It happened again. Over and over, he stopped her and ruined her plan. She stared back at the bloodshot eyes without a trace of fear. With a trained move, she took a step backward and dodged the attempt for her life.
“Like I don’t!” Her words were dipped in poison. Kelly made her run to the woods, away from her foiled plan.
So what the perks of both styles?
One liner offer a quick and action lived pace, which moves the story quickly and makes battles more interesting.
Detailed, on the other hand, offer more immersion of the story, deeper emotional development for the characters, and an attention to details one liner can’t offer.
So…
Detailed Roleplay, anyone?
