Great recap of the DMnastics. Another reason I can see for ideas from pictures being so popular is that it limits our creativity. Funny thing is, what I learned from taking classes on writing and stories is that the more and more we limit ourselves, the more creative we can get. That is the main reason why writers make outlines or that we define genre and characters usually before we begin writing a story. Pictures bring obvious limitations and so are able to jog creativity. The DMnastic really contained tons of useful information. I agree with Mainprize and Neal with voices, since they are a little bit of extra flavor a DM/player can add to a character or NPC. Great tips and discussion. Thanks!

Yeah, there was a ton of great info in that thread. I like your reasoning for why the pictures are good. Also, it's been awhile since we have done a picture one. I'm not too sure how I would tie a picture one to the coming episode, but I'll definitely keep it in mind, haha. Also, I'm terrible at voices on the fly. Decent if I plan them out for a bit, but on the fly I usually just use my own voice with slight variations on it.
