you are the characters of a new workplace comedy called cover to cover, set in a book publishing company. roleplay will take place in small periods called episodes, with ten or so episodes constituting a season. after each episode has been completed, it will be put in the episode log along with a short description. after each season has been completed, critics will give the season a review, showing what was good or bad about the season. due to the fact that this is a work com, there will be "talking head" sequences, where a character or two will sit in front of the camera, providing exposition/side comments/whatever. please specify if your character is in such a sequence, perhaps with the notation of *talking head*.

Accepted. Changed name because of course I did.
Due to nature of job, character may be only a recurring gag or similar in the show, like Kyle from Parks and Rec.
She/they, likes collecting Stamps and playing runescape. Veteran of the Sandwich War.

Not active here anymore, but I'll revisit from time to time.
If you need me here for any reason (e.g. updating scoreboards for games I run, questions about said games, activity required/requested in games I'm playing), ping me in the official TBGs Discord and I'll get on it ASAP.

Just chillin' out like:

Two should be enough. One as a main cast member, and the other a recurring character.
By the way, accepted.

3 or 4 more cast members should be enough, and then we'll be ready for the pilot! (I forgot, the pilot will be reviewed by critics, similar to how a season may be reviewed.)

Name: Donut Cheeseburger (you never said it had to be a REAL name)
Job title: Revising and Editing
Personality: Humorous, loves to add jokes in the books.

WARNING: I am insane.
They say games are a product, rather than a service. Certainly a nice thought, however this is more fiction than truth.
Each and every day, new games are created, with most being infested with microtransactions, paid expansions, and subscription services, bogging down (or blocking off entirely) the user experience until they cough up their life savings, even after having already purchased the game. However, we as fans have remedied the problems that plague modern games through modifications and fan servers. There is, however, one last game to fix.

This is why I have changed my name. To spread awareness of what must be done. What we want. We want...NasomiXIV.

Accepted on the grounds that "Donut Cheeseburger" is a nickname for this character, and his real name is something like "Don".
