[Eldritch] Sphere Caps & Waiting Lists

@Creepy, the Neighborhoods system I've written up for Eldritch is in part geared towards fixing this sort of problem. Besides that, I know how frustrating not being able to change a grid space is even through effort, and @Eerie and I managed to convince @Thenomain to code for us by pitching the game as a place where the players can and should make every effort to change the area.

At the same time, if you're trying to make some gross changes to the area, staff will take notice and use IC resources to try to stop you. Because that's challenging. Because that provides conflict. Because if all you have is a bunch of people running smooth-and-easy PRPs for each other in which they Change [their slice of] the World, what's the point?

Hopefully, people will push forward to help us achieve this sort of gameplay, instead of sitting around and not interacting with what we've built and want to do.

It's a pet peeve of mine when players sit around and have no goals. Plot is important, I absolutely agree; but the best plot often has personal stakes, and for that, the character has to actually, you know, want something.

I know. I'm excited to see how it goes. Looking forward to playing my favorite wolf again.

On the off-chance some of you haven't seen them, here are some posts by one of the 2nd Edition developers. They are relatively recent so it's unlikely too much has changed from then until now.

Renown
Gifts
Rites
Wolf Blooded

There are other write-ups by the same author if you want to stalk.

I hadn't seen the Wolf Blooded thing before. Woo, I might have something interesting to play on this game, some day.

[Coin]

Whatever. Everyone knows I'll just be a jerk to you for no reason than to be a jerk.

That's how we do.

I hear 2018 looks great for the next GMC release.

[HelloRaptor]

I'm sure Eldritch will be ready by then!

You're both assholes.

@HelloRaptor I didn´t run into assholes all day.

Just you and @Arkandel just now.

Assholes.

[silentsophia]

It's probably assholes all the way down.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH.

I know the people you deal with day to day. You lie.

[Coin]

@HelloRaptor, I've been at WORK all day.

I work with decent people. It's the only reason I can deal with all you fuckers later in the day.

[Arkandel]

@Coin Why can't you do what every other honest staff member does and just turn to the bottle? What, are you too good for alcoholism and despair now?

[Coin]

@Arkandel: Just despair. Alcoholism I can run with.
