Do people still MU*?
-
I know I took a break from MUing. I'm looking for a place to play, and so I was wondering, do people still MU*?
There's no more posts on the reg here (or at the other place) about MUSHes. There's no stories about things (outside of Arx) that seem to be engaging. People aren't advertising their games. People aren't bitching about corrupt staff.
Is anything going on in the MU* world? Hello? Anyone? Bueller?
-
@chibichibi I suppose it all comes down to what you're looking for?
-
There's thousands of RP servers on Discord, that's where most RP's happening now. The MUs that are still around are carrying on, apparently without enough drama to bring it here; that or the board's just dried up.
-
There are several active games currently on AresCentral.
The Mustard list shows a bunch more, though it doesn't distinguish activity.
I would agree though that other venues get more traffic than MUs. Discord, Play By Post, Storium, etc. But MUs certainly still exist.
-
Eh, people still MU.
It appears to have become too risky to talk about it, though, with on-MU repercussions and people leaping to claim personal attack.
What are you looking to play?
-
I'm a WoD/dark urban fantasy kinda girl. I grew up with WoD, Aberrant/Trinity, Exalted. Those kinds of games are my jam.
I've been trying superhero MU*s, but those seem iffy. It just seems like a bunch of people never wanting to lose and look good all the time.
I tried Arx, but the massive lore just confuses the hell out of me.

@il-volpe It sucks when something someone says here, screws with someone who didn't even say it!
-
@chibichibi Pretty sure City of Shadows is open. It's WoD. Well, CoD.
-
@chibichibi Liberation and Fulcrum for your oWoD jam.
-
@il-volpe What's Fulcrum?
-
@chibichibi Looks like reskinned Sheltering Skies.
-
@chibichibi Yep, it's Sheltering Skies runners' latest. So, Metro 4, new setting. I think it's Minneapolis/St. Paul.
I am guessing that it has all the same Shel flaws, though I had a lot of fun there until they announced the closing/reboot and people started bailing on the game or going off the rails.
-
@chibichibi I would recommend City of Shadows. It's pretty active, staff and playerbase are both really nice. It is Chronicles of Darkness 2e, you can find the list of books they're using here http://cityofshadowsmux.com/wiki/Books

I also recommend. I'd be more active there if it weren't for work and life.

Nice.
Other than Liberation, is there any place that offers Mage or Hunter or Demon? Either CoD or WoD? I've always found those splats to be most interesting.
If not, anyone wanna work on something that incorporates those splats?
-
@chibichibi Fulcrum will have mage. I don't know about CoD games.
I still want to do 'The Magicians' with FS3, which would be like Mage (+imagination +gay +jewish -ascension war -pretention whores) or so.
