What Is Missing For You?

@sockmonkey An Incredibles/One Punch Man sort of hero game would be so fun.

There is a Dresden Files MU out there: http://www.tenebrousisles.com/wiki/Main_Page
It's a modified DFRPG and a slightly modified version of the setting, but it's there

@wildbaboons And absolutely is not for me due to the setting and people running it.

Coded TS. Staff-run TS. Wikis with more nudity. Wiki pages that TS.

Who's running it?

SpyFi
Avatar, ie Last Airbender
Into the Badlands
Historical Period games, beyond just "lord and lady", ie Lovecraft in the Roaring 20's, Victorian era WoD, World War 1 such and such, you get the idea.

@tnp I don't know who they are really, I just know my application attempt there felt like /they/ wanted to design my character instead of me so I bailed very fast.

@kestrel said in What Is Missing For You?:
Cyberpunk.
Sci-fi.
Spy-fi. (Easily combined with Noir.)
If anyone can recommend a good Noir setting, by the by, you can have a kidney of your choice.
Stay tuned.

@sunnyj
You continue to tempt me. Grrr. -

Lovecraft in the Roaring 20's
World War 1 such and suchYeah, talk dirty to me. Either of those would totally be my thing. Almost as much as anything set in the 40s would be. My dream-game is set in the '40s.

They're sane and very nice people. They just have a vision for the game system and theme that may not match others and are rather inflexible in this, at least that is how it was before.

I mean not sure if it's what you're looking for but my alt history 1920's superhero game is trying to be Noir at the very least. Might not be what you're looking for but I'd be remiss not to recommend it at least in passing.

In no particular order, mostly jumping on other people's ideas with brainstormy ideas of my own:
Final Fantasy - Potentially amazing, will be tricksy depending on which advancement systems are in play. I will totes help out with this as it develops, even if it's just a wall to bounce ideas off of.
Mecha Fun! - With the recent release of the new BattleTech game, this is hella appealing. I will even go against type and NOT want a real-time fighty-fight thing (mostly because BTMux exists for that, but they have no RP or Aerospace or fun).
Chronicles of Darkness - As someone mentioned above, City-by-Night is hella overdone, and I feel that 'real world place, but with X' could be vastly improved on. My take on that is a Dark City or Matrix approach. The city in which the game takes place is all-encompassing. The matrix speaks about how you do not go on THE highway, and how Neo was in THE mountains (there can be an area outside of the city, to be sure, but there isn't someone from REAL WORLD ATLANTA visiting FAKE CITY-BY-NIGHT.) I other CoD ideas, but this is the most generic and easy to tinker with.
Cyberpunk/Shadowrun - Yes. ALL the yes. Denver is a 19 year old game with more houserules than rules appear in the actual rulebook (possible exaggeration, possibly not), to say nothing of the ooc drama and politics that have gone on there behind the scenes.

I thought of something today. A lot of the problems with games is that over time a few characters become so God like they just ruin it for everyone else. We can't stop people from min-maxing but there is a part of that formula that the staff can control: Time.
What if you created a game like WoD that was actually having the apocalypse?
Give it a life time of 2 years with a clock that counted down till the end of the world every time a player logged in. When the clock ran out, the Wyrm was freed and everyone died. Then, from deep in space the Technocratic Union rewound time and the clock started over. Everyone began again with new characters or the same characters with new sheets and no memories.
You could have perks like "Soul Mates" where people are fated to find each other and fall in love every time if you want but for the most part every 2 years, the game would start fresh. Maybe even 1 year if you want to create urgency.
Just a wild idea I thought I would throw out there.

@carex The problem with an 'Apocalypse' game is at that point you're getting shit like Antedeluvians running around and doing silly stuff. The game just kind of breaks for regular character power levels at that point.
