There's potential for it to be fun; and potential for it to be a lot of people doing completely unrelated RP for small groups. Someone's going to be a time lord with a harem of companions, that's just something we'd need to make peace with.

RE: Pro Wrestling MU?
@Chet Is there any place to get/download that combat system? I seriously doubt I'll end up making a game, but I'm curious, and others may be too.

RE: Pro Wrestling MU?
@ZombieGenesis Nah, sadly the only tabletop game I've been able to play was a few sessions of 13th Age. I think I'd prefer a mostly modern setting with crazy stuff being possible; with wrestling basically being a full-tilt anime rather than the real life 'basically anime'.
So to speak.
That said, the modern world could essentially BE fantasy with different nations and rulers and whatnot. But I'd like to keep it largely familiar just so there's some grounding for when insane things happen. Like the equivalent of RoboCop being real, or Kane. Maybe some NPC wrestler characters run by staff for big villains or corrupt authority figures or something. A yearly 'global' plot for the biggest show of the year equivalent to Wrestlemania/Starcade.
But yeah, I wouldn't know how to do it mechanically. My instinct is to just do it freeform, but wrestling has a history of RL drama over who gets to win IN REAL LIFE, so I can imagine it being a challenge in a game. It'd be cool if there were things like, I dunno, some benefit to playing to the crowd if there were RPG mechanics and whatnot. Like maybe you have to spend a round doing that to use your finisher, at least if you're a Face. But yeah, the nitty gritty is beyond me.
But yeah, Mortal Kombatwise you could definitely take that setting, setup and characters and just tell stories with them, maybe loosely based around the games events for bigger ongoing plots or whatnot.

RE: Pro Wrestling MU?
I'd love to see one pop up. Not as part of something else, but, like, its own super-kayfabe world, where wrestling is the most important sport - and possibly the most important THING - on the planet, and the feuds and larger than life characters are all real. Even the supernatural ones. I CRAAAVE it.
I'd also definitely love to see Street Fighter/KoF or Mortal Kombat games, but I'd be more interested in freeform RP in those than, like, throwing numbers at each other. I think the characters are the most interesting parts of those games anyway, and certainly the best part you can get across in a text game. I didn't like MoTM's HUGE CROSSOVER though, it seemed unfocused, and a lot of the series didn't mesh well. The only think I'd consider allowing to cross over would be Street Fighter and King of Fighters/SNK since they're pretty similar anyway. I'd still rather keep things condensed so characters can have their supporting casts around and everything.
A Guilty Gear game would also be rad.
But yeah, pro wrestling is what I'm about right now.

Pro Wrestling MU?
Has there every been an MU about pro wrestling? I'm curious. I've kinda got the bug for the idea of playing one, but I'd pretty much have to make it myself, I suspect.

RE: Power Rangers: Power of the Grid
@Gnome You've probably leveled up since then, to be fair.

RE: Power Rangers: Power of the Grid
Still real into the idea, if it's still a thing. ^^

RE: Star Wars Interest Survey
I'm bias because playing Leia on a game is on my bucket list, but it'll be how it'll be.

RE: A bit of trouble on Firefly
@Tinuviel I'm referring more to the people speculating about what he, personally, gets out of it; or whether he's self aware about it. The behavior itself, certainly, identify it; but the underlying issues; wondering about his perspective? It's all just guesswork based on personal perspective.

RE: A bit of trouble on Firefly
I have never known any amount of armchair psychology to be useful to anyone. We're not the ones who are going to solve whatever's wrong with that guy. Best just to keep them out of our lives, imo.

RE: Looking for G1 Transformers MU
Or a Prime one if anyone wants to start that up, and inexplicably not app the popular characters I want. <__<

RE: A bit of trouble on Firefly
@GreenFlashlight It really is next-level pathetic. To honestly feel comforted by your own dollar-store supervillain shtick.

RE: ISO: a comics/superheroes MU* (give me your recs)
@TNP I kinda feel like it's super limiting to not be able to refer to or use any connections for anyone who might conceivably be apped. I don't really see the difference between that and saying, I dunno, Alfred's been apped now, all those past scenes were referring to a DIFFERENT Butler, or a DIFFERENT cat themed burglar like what tends to happen when a character gets dropped and then picked up by someone else.

RE: ISO: a comics/superheroes MU* (give me your recs)
@Ganymede I meant in general, it tends to be discouraged, or at least get mentioned in the same breath as 'don't be fucking weird to people OOC', but yeah, I wouldn't know in this case.

RE: ISO: a comics/superheroes MU* (give me your recs)
@GreenFlashlight
I kinda feel like if you're running a game built around a nearly hundred year history of sexy people in skin tight spandex, you've already lost the war of characters being fetishized, and should just be very strict about your 'no TS/sex-weirdness/take-it-to-Shang' rules. -
RE: SW: Dawn of the Jedi - Modified d20 Saga (Pre Old Republic Era)
@Grindle Zombiegenesis is working on a similar game a few threads down in this very forum section. Maybe you should collaborate? Or just compete, I dunno. :|a

Thanks! Now I kinda wonder if I can play Bastilla or someone. @__@

RE: Legends of the Old Republic - In Progress Star Wars Game
@ZombieGenesis said in Legends of the Old Republic - In Progress Star Wars Game:
I intend on changing the end of the Jedi Civil war a bit to better lead into our theme. I'm also hoping it sends a message that we're veering from canon so don't expect what has come before to come again here. I haven't decided exactly how I'm going to rework things but that is my intention.
I'm a little confused and need clarification. I think of the Mandalorian Wars and the Jedi Civil War as distinct incidents, so I'm not clear on whether the game is starting just in time for the Sith invasion - with the Star Forge already destroyed by canon changes and Revan possibly still around - or if the Sith invasion just ended after the modified events of Kotor.

@toreadorfool
Indeed. Spidey player was very (repeatedly) adamant that his Aunt May was a very old lady.
