Why not use The Expanse RPG?

Is Green Ronin still actively cracking down on use of their rulebase without their permission? I think someone knowing the Green Ronin peeps said they had eased up on it, but they had resisted PDF for a long time because of it.

I reached out to someone I know who works with them back when I was considering a game. They're fine with MUs run using it, but they'd prefer people have permission of whoever owns the IP (probably Amazon at this point?).

Personally, I just don't wanna code it. Ares works perfectly for this kind of setting.

@JinShei Gee. I know what I'm doing, I really do. Except when I don't.

Original post edited for accuracy.

Mostly the pbs. I figured that ghoul and vamp or sire and childe would both allow for a built in level of thick as theives, and definitely the blunt and kind of kickass energy of Margo in latter seasons will probably inform aspects of personality, but there is by no means an assumption that they be recreations of Elliot and Margo. Initially on reading on City of Shadows what their bloodlines were, the idea of a Mekhet Khaibit with a Summer Bishil pb that actually came from around Egypt was what came to mind, and I thought it would kickass to have an Elliot of sorts to be thick as theives with (ie more the dynamic with Elliot than a carbon copy of his persona).

Invictus is mostly because I've seen Mekhet do really well with them reliably and also, well, established as 'old money' type power brokers. Now of course as neither char has been made there is inifinite room for being flexible on clan and such, I could also see Ventrue working well, or Daeva, though less so with Gangrel or Nosferatu.

I haven't updated this in a LONG time, but I was asked about what I'm doing presently so resurrecting this just for updating purposes because why not.

(Not quite as much free time over the last few years so I've been much more sporadic. A lot of time spent teaching the next generation of gamers how to game! But I still find some time.)

@Salty My primary memory of Edge of Midnight was banging a dragon and those two women who hung out in the square transmuting me into tons of different species.

I probably deserved it.

Also surprised to learn it still exists. Honestly as far as MUDs go, for as ridiculous as the concept was, it had a ton of depth and was a rare RPI MUD.

@SunnyJ said in L&L Options?:

Most groups only have two out of Coding Skills, Long Term Motivation and Good Teamwork, and all of them are required in sufficient amounts to see a proper game built from ground up with all that is needed in the time it takes, imo.

A thousand times, yes. But, as I said, and you said, in the time it takes. And, to be fair, all of the coders I know have good teamwork instincts and are motivated in the long term.

@Bananerz That's brilliant, I love what you've done with it. Its very inspiring. Thank you very much.

" But I was also born without whatever lobe of the human brain causes "ah, jeez, am I staying true to Previous-Player's vision?" anxiety.

That's basically what's keeping me away from playing Roster Characters. I get hella anxiety when it comes to things like managing other people's NPCs or playing roster characters that have been played before.

I will say that Arx has rules against people trying to make you play a certain way. If you do pick up a roster and someone tries paging you all 'omg the last player wasn't like that' you can kindly tell them to fuck off.

More than having rules against it, I've also never had the experience of anyone even trying. My first PC, Ronja, had a small family (parents, basically) and they were both overjoyed to have someone step into the role, even a total stranger, and were incredibly welcoming and supportive. My second PC, Ember, is the head of a house and the experience was much the same, as both people who were under her and people who are above her were like "hey, can we help you get situated, do you need any IC history info," and so on.

It definitely happens on occasion, but I think that the fact that it's baked into policy -- and that staff is very responsive to getting word of it happening -- keeps it to a manageable minimum.

Happy you're okay, Sunny. Much love.

An update. I am becoming pervasive.

For those keeping score at home: Third use of Norman Reedus. He's my muse. That's just what's fucking up.

Wait what?

@Meg I am glad you’re doing better. Sending the vibes of a litter of puppies your way.

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry for reviving this old thread. Just wanted to say that i was Sisay Ginaz on DuneMUSH III.
Through the years, i held on to the many fond memories (and some logs) of the amazing roleplay and atmosphere we had back then.

It seems to me now that in the blink of the eye the MUSH was gone, the website as well, and i'm lucky and glad to have finally found a few of you now.

Thank you all for the wonderful times and memories to last a lifetime!

Best regards and warm hugs,
Sisay

PS: Does anyone know if the MUSH database is completely gone?
