Interest Check: Single Sphere VtR Game

[Tinuviel]

Then yes, I am in. I will play literally anything, even a Star Wars porn parody called "The Empire Strikes Deep" if it means I can do that.

I know Star Wars MUs have not been all that great but no need to call names. However true it is still mean.

[Tinuviel]

@ThatGuyThere Please. I've seen better acting in porn than on most SW MU*s. Though I still enjoy both.

Seems there are a few games now in the works trying to implement some of RfK's ideas in different clothes. Like Modern Nights Mux doing it automated like for Vampire The Masquerade.

Anyway, I would very much be interested. I don't think Paris as setting will hurt the game's appeal too much. Sure you'll have a ton of expats, but a ton of expats do live in Paris. Though less so than in say, London, which would also have worked. Just be sure you are aware and appreciate the fact you'll get Hollywood Paris, not actual Paris.

[Tinuviel]

@lordbelh We're getting snooty anachronistic bigots that hate folks that aren't them.

Sounds actual-Paris enough to me.

I'd be interested. However, I don't share the same idea that foreign is bad. Look at the long stretch Haunted Memories had. It had a good sized pool of local PCs. So I wouldn't say don't consider it, although I'd be very careful of where you set it, even still.

As for RtK.....there is a lot of ooc paperwork required there, and that can be fun for some people, not always fun for others. But what I find doesn't work there more than anything else is the lack of accountability there seems to be for anyone's actions unless they make a public post. Then it just gets pulled down. So maybe just....remember to not pull down all the posts, all the time,

Personally, I'm dying to get out of Northern New England. Also, if we could play down the Cthulu stuff that I have no interest and seems to be TheThing everywhere? 'K thnx.

Kingsmouth has pretty much stepped away from the God Machine stuff. I've been there about a month/two and seen absolutely zero. I've experienced no God Machine stuff at Fallcoast either. Infact it's rare I see a game that includes it these days. Where /are/ you seeing it? Cause I'm into that shit...

That could be because most games these days are sandbox, and GMC generally requires an involved staff presence (or at least a ST comfortable enough with staff to get this deep into a metagame).

[tragedyjones]

God-Machine isn't cthulu stuff.

[OrcRiot]

@tragedyjones It's an unknowable, alien entity controlling the world through occult machinations. I'm pretty sure that's what Lisse was referring too.

I took it as a reference to the reach, which had actually Eldritch tentacle monsters.

[OrcRiot]

@tragedyjones It was the comment of it being 'the thing' everywhere that suggested otherwise to me.

[Lisse24]

@tragedyjones has the right of it. It also was a big feature on RfK.

[OrcRiot]

@Lisse24 It's not anymore, and definately not 'thething everywhere'.

[tragedyjones]

Basically if the God-Machine is considered LovecraftIan, I need to do some hella serious soul searching...

[Saulot]

It may not be Lovecraftian in appearance, but it squarely falls into cosmic horror.

[tragedyjones]

So weird then that I love one and am annoyed by the other.

[Thenomain]

To briefly support this tangent (and then to say that we need to stop it), Lovecraft was hardly the first to approach the idea of the unknown or the Other, he's just the most popular in our corner of nerddom because of all the adorable Cthulhu plushies.

[OrcRiot]

@Thenomain I dunno Lovecraft has pretty much been super popular in counter-culture groups since I was a kid.
