Interest Check - Armageddon MUX (A Unisystem Urban Horror Game)

[ZombieGenesis]

So my wife and some friends and I have been playing privately on a Unisystem game that takes elements from Armageddon, Witchcraft, and some other stuff. We've been thinking about going public but I wanted to test the waters first before we did any heaving lifting (moving from wikidot to a mediawiki, registering a domain, I'd have to modify some things to fit how we've been playing, etc). The overall theme/tone is urban horror where players can play things like vampires, witches, psychics, lycanthropes of various types, angels, and even demigods. It's set in a fictional city off the east coast.

Our game blurb reads as: Armageddon is a game of modern day horror set against the backdrop of an impending apocalypse. Vampires, werewolves, psychics and witches exist in a world where angels, both celestial and fallen, mingle with re-awakened pagan gods. It's a world of darkness and vice where evil seems poised to triumph over good. That is if the dark god Leviathan doesn't destroy the world before then…

There is a wiki at http://armageddon-mux.wikidot.com but it's old and not entirely up to date. We'd be updating that as we moved to mediawiki and stuff.

Anyway, just curious if people would be interested in such a game. Thanks!

I love Unisystem and love the Witchcraft/Armageddon universe. So yeah, hearty thumbs-up from me!

[Rainbow Unicorn]

Hell to the yeah.

[ixokai]

Interested.

So down for it... Please say you'll allow Bast.

[RizBunz]

I adore some good horror. Sign me up.

@seamus We don't have Bast right now. One of the things I'm doing is inputting the Feral system from Witchcraft in the system for lycanthropes. Bast seem are a bit different though so I can see about adding them as well.

I would be interested in this.

Saying "Unisystem" is like saying "Buffygame" around @Sunny even if she knows it's not gonna actually be a Buffygame. It's hilarious to watch. >.>

Somebody WILL make a Buffy game eventually. This is pretty cool anyway though, and I do just love Unisystem!

The year is 2047, and @Sunny is finally opening Sunnyvale, a Buffyverse MU*.

This does sound a lot like the last season of Angel?

[ZombieGenesis]

RE Buffy: We actually thought about doing Buffy for popularity and familiarity but we didn't want to get locked into "tv tropes" by being a TV game. Buffy also comes with a level of tongue in cheek that, while enjoyable, was not something we wanted to explore with this game. Our inspiration comes more from horror novels and movies than the Buffy TV show. We felt that by going this way we would not be tied to a brand and it would allow us much more creative freedom with creating our world and the denizens that dwell within it.

That said, we're panting a big picture that allows for a lot of different character types. If there was something from Buffy that you wanted to emulate I'm sure we can find a way to fit it in.

@zombiegenesis

I would please like it if you would let people come and play.

Modern day urban fantasy/horror that's not WoD? Yes please.

[ZombieGenesis]

Well, we've decided to move forward with this. These are the next steps I'll be taking...

1: Setting up a mediawiki (and maybe trying to bribe someone to make it look pretty).
2: Transferring the data from my wikidot site to the mediawiki site.
3: Making some modifications to the game code(mainly adding the Feral character type from Witchcraft).
4: Moving the game over to a permanent home and going live.

We're hopeful this won't take more than a week or so to get done. The biggest thing is going to be setting up the mediawiki so the sooner we get that done the sooner we get the game open.

I would find this concept very tempting, I really like the witchcraft world and the Unisystem.
the hardest part would be which of my never played Unisystem character ideas to use.

@zombiegenesis

I remember an Armageddon MUSH I played on years and years ago with Ambrosia. If this is the same environment, I can talk to the original owner and see if they wouldn't mind some of that code for you to use if you'd be interested.

The DB for it is still around.

This has absolutely nothing to do with my Arm. (Its not really mine but I was the coder/site admin)
