If you want a discussion, make the discussion, and have it be focused.

though things i could use your help with:
you may be a bit rusty when it comes to the straight rules of Dungeon World, but you did play it with some friends, so you've gotten a basic idea of how it works, so you could help me with the technical stuff when it comes to working with fitting an alignment on each type on each class, same with Races. you can also help with some of the Lore, especially when it comes to the Jakkai Race (maybe another name, as it might get slightly confusing).
you could help with setting and lore in general if you'd like, be a sort of co-world builder.
you could help come up with expansion classes or other special moves and such.
or the one i'd personally like help with the most, but i also feel like quite the attention whore for it, but that is making sure people notice that this is a thing. whenever i bring it up it's mostly followed by a few minutes of silence, maybe a thumbs up after a bit, then it goes back to the Terraria hype, gay marriage or Splatoon memes. not saying those aren't neat or good, i'd just like for there to be room for something like this, and so far i don't feel like people have noticed it enough to really get in on it. (to put it another way, i feel like i'm starting a conversation with a friend while sitting in a coffee shop, and after posing a long well-thought out question they just nod and pull out their phone and browse FB for the rest of the chat) (people actually seems to have picked up on it enough to start some discussion!)
I mean I really can't offer anything of value since I know nothing about TTRPGs except that character sheet and lots of dice rolls are involved. Maybe once I'm firing on all cylinders again.
so far just a "i think [this] could be cool!" or "what about [that]?" or "how will [dis] be done?" be enough. i don't care if it's a stupid or lazy question.

so... in regards to the whole DnD-RolePlay thing.
i only have these next days to really work consistently on it, making the 8-9 or so days the only ones where it would have the possibility of becoming a real thing.
now, as for things that need to get done. and remember, this is for the small scale.
1 world map, consisting of 2 towns and 6 dungeons, a forest and mountain ridge as well as a shoreline and a few scattered "points of interest"
2 town maps, these'd be very simple, just showing the different districts and such.
2 "small" dungeons. i might do the basic layout and someone will then fix most of the places it looks ugly and done in paint.
2 "medium" dungeons, same deal.
2 "large" dungeons, same deal.
(^ that stuff is mostly what i'll need help with)
setting and exposition sheet.
Jakkai race/faction.
all alignments and races for each class.
now, we'll still have to discuss a few things, such as how this will even happen in terms of GMs and so forth. but for now, that might just be enough to get started.
now i'm not requiring people to do work, but I've tried drawing stuff, and all i have is a mouse and paint. it looks like complete ass and would be unappealing to play with, i'm not asking for Tolkien-level detail, hell black on white no-color is fine, i just want someone who can draw things so they look decent enough
If you want, I could do most of these in pixel art.

I'm not kidding when I say I'm not running on all cylinders. All you'll get out of me for a few days is a smile and nod as I fight to remain conscious.

the dungeons could work well in a pixel-arty fashion. the map i'd like with either a tad more smoother or it'd be a very big pixel art.

i'd love to make a discussion. problem is a discussion requires a minimum of 2 people. there have been a few discussions, which have been great! if short. though making a separate thread might be good, if not as much for the rare "i'd like to see this!" post then for just having everything in one place.

Sorry D:
Don't worry. Doubt you're the only one that has done that and there is no use being angry over it.

I can do writing, yes. Writing is good for me to do yes. I might not help with lorestuff on GC often, but I have assisted with it before, and I do help manage a TBRPG on a different forum as well. i can do dis.

I can do the map as well, no problem. Just tell me exactly what you want!
Cool! It just passed midnight where I am and I'll be headed to sleep in about an hour or so time. Give me a ping tomorrow and I'll tell you what I need!
And thanks for the help with this, sorry time zones got in the way...

Perfect! Same with bee, I'll be headed to bed and we can discuss and run a few ideas by each other and I can show so far what I have in mind! I'll also start up a thread in the user created content thingy for all this so we can keep it together.
Though any spoiler-y things we could keep over Skype.

Alrighty.
I'm not going to be participating in the game BTW, so spoilers are fine with me.
Like me. Unlike me though you currently have a fully functional jaw.
Well following an askreddit thread I'm now thinking about how terrifying it would be to be in the "custody" of the Tecarian Empire and subjected to "enhanced interrogation" by them.

So how terrifying would it be?
You aren't allowed to sleep except when they allow it, they never inform you of these periods though and they can last all night or barely an hour.
The cell is small, you can move around capably and even pace but otherwise it is cramped.
All light is artificial and randomly fluctuates in intensity, you have no point of reference for the time.
Food quality varies wildly, sometimes it's poisoned and leaves you sick for days, they tell you this is your fault and punish you for it.
The sounds are all fake too, sometimes you hear vehicles, marching, sometimes you can almost make out a distant conversation, once you swore you heard gunfire, like somebody was coming to rescue you, these trains of thought are all left unfulfilled.
Torture intensity varies, sometimes you leave with scars, sometimes barely even sore, it's all such a blur to you that you struggle to remember each session.
You never even see the guards except when it's time for a session or they bring you out to talk about a recent one, sometimes they congratulate you on your cooperative behavior and credit it with something positive that happened recently, like extra rations or a lengthened sleep cycle, sometimes they chastise you for being uncooperative and credit it with something negative. By these points you can never recall the session in question, you fear they are making things up.
When finally you are so far gone that they no longer think interrogation will yield anything, they'll probably throw you outside to die.

I see the Tecarians picked up on some of my age old tactics. ovo
