Active Modern Day Games?
-
Are there any active modern day games out there? Doesn't have to be WoD, could be some other type of setting as long as it's active.
-
I can't comment on how active it is but there's this place http://calaveras.wikidot.com.
My wife and I have been searching for something to ever since Armageddon MUX went tits up. I've been tempted to dust off my Buffy code and see about getting something started there but I dunno. A good Modern Day MUX would be a cool find though.

Please Buffy? Please? This is me making big eyes.

I'd love Buffy too but I have so many questions about how it'd be done, MUSH-wise.

Hell, I'll give you space on my digital ocean seed if you need it (assuming @Ifrit or @Thenomain will help me set it up so the ports don't conflict with Sacred-Seed).

Buffy mushes were a thing for a very long time, it's really not all that hard or weird. I don't have any more/different questions re: a Buffy game than I would any other mush.

I don't know how the others were done, but basically Devilshire was a small town with way too much magic in it and two Slayers designated to patrol it (legit it was just two slots for slayers).
In this era of "omg you can't limit slots whaaaaa" I don't know how people would do it other than, you know, maybe just no one gets to be a slayer.

@coin Or anyone can be-- since one of the things the show ended with was Willow awakening every potential slayer ever.
. Which was how the couple of Buffy Games I've played on had done it. -

That said, everyone being a Slayer would be insane lol.

Yeah, that was one of my questions. Also can PCs be Slayers? What can PCs be? And what about themes - is this a coming-of-age thing centered around highschool drama with monsters in the mix or would the usual former sniper/marine concepts be a thing?

The latter, in general, though from what i remember the age limit was lowered to like, 16, for high school-related fun.

I'm definitely looking at this and going to give a try. It seems like it could be really fun and a refreshing change from the usual WoD fare.

Also the Dresden Files based game Tenebrous Isles.

If we did it again (we won't) we'd probably go with zero Slayers. Limited Slayers is just asking for Most Important Character syndrome, while unlimited Slayers is just bananas.
Though unlimited Slayers and it's a MUD might be funny for a couple of days.

I always argued for no Slayers and no one ever agreed with me
-
@quinn That could be the meta-premise of a Buffy MU*; the Slayers are gone, the world is going to hell, and who can do something about it?
Highschoolers, of course!

If I hear any more shit about Shin Megami Tensei and its ilk, I'll explode.
(Persona 5 is still pretty nifty.)

The comics made it clear that ANY Girl who would be a Potential became a Slayer at that 'coming of age' point.
