Kinds of Mu*s Wanted

So, one of the many ideas that is 'in development' due to my ADD is a game that would be a continuation of the 'Young Justice' animated series. I'very got the storyline for a full year 'Season 3' frameworked out. Any interest?

DID SOMEBODY SAY YOUNG JUSTICE

Uh. Yes. Lots of interest. Me and my fifty other personalities are interested. That's like 52 people right there, counting @Roz!

Shut up. I don't do your Superhero Comic Book humor.

Unknown Armies Mu*.

ThatGuyThere

Unknown armies would be great, though could be a pain to code given the free form nature of skills.

@ThatGuyThere I'm barely a beginner coder, so I can't speak from any place of knowledge, but I'd set up a percentile system with a bunch of the generic/named skills in the books (lie, charm, run, etc), that could have custom strings added by players. As for special or unique skills, I'd have them as something that could be submitted to staff and have them manually approved.

A character sheet could have like:

Soul
Swindle (Lie)
Smooth Operator (Charm)

They could have a visible rolling system, much like that which TR had. Result <= Stat, minor success echo. Result <= Skill, major success echo. If 11|22|33|44|55 (so forth) and under skill, echo matched success, automatic point added to skill. Combat would be slightly more complicated with shifts and cherries, but in my head it's a few if statements and a percentile roller. It's quite possible that I'm looking at it with shiny newbie eyes like it's going to be this simple.

Anyway. Something like that.

Thenomain

I don't know Unknown Armies, but in general free form skills are easy to code. They are more difficult to administrate.

Are there comedy Mu*s around? Would the Big Lebowski make for a fun setting?

tce

@icanbeyourmuse I wholeheartedly second the desire for a MASH MU.

Also, a Wodehouse/Jeeves & Wooster style theme would be great. There's already a 'Drones' RPG floating around the internet for CG.

A modern non-WoD supernatural game set in modern Japan, where Japanese monsters and mythology are real. Essentially Yu Yu Hakusho + Tokyo Ravens + Ushio and Tora + Rental Magica + xXxHoLiC and all those other 'humans, Japanese spirit world and youkai interact' series. Would focus less on horror (though that's there) and more on the supernatural adventure and big heroics deal. Mostly because I've been bingeing the new Ushio and Tora, which is really good.

I would play this fucking game so hard, blood would pour out of my ears.

I would play this. I would play this fifteen fucking times.

EDIT: There was actually a small-town game a while back I got really excited about. It was set in the Southwest, had kind of a Night Vale vibe to it, and crashed and burned after like two months. I think it ran on FS3 (or whatever it's called)? People apped in some awesome shit, though.

Personally, I really like the "build your own monster" systems you can find in the Dresden Files RPG and Unisystem games like Buffy and Angel. I'd really enjoy a kind of bare-bones game without a lot of "franchise" elements, where people are allowed to app in pretty much whatever with those tools, with as much or as little society as makes sense for the creatures, all operating under a Veil Lite.

@Cirno
There's something to be said there. At least you could play a yukionna, which is the basis for your snow fairy personality.

@Wizz
Heh. The idea I have in my head is less WoD-based though, with kindof a full broken veil (or at least like later Parasyte or Ushio and Tora, where the government knows about the monsters and tries to keep them from spilling over into the populace). The concept more lends itself to 'and the crazy monsters of the region reappear' and so you'd have the ability to build whatever monster you want, though my focus has been extremely narrow of late (my vision for this ends up more supporting just youkai and bakemono, so shit like flying heads that eat people, centipede women and oni with kanabo type stuff).

I think I'm going to make Kafka Mush:

Where you can fill out apps and file queues all day long for every little thing. Then realize you're short on house rule prerequisites, of which there are many, and their use is so esoteric, so you have to do a whole whack of other queues and wait for them to resolve before proceeding. But by the time they're almost done, the staffer disappears and you wait for a new staff, who has a different interpretation of everything so it's back to square one.

If done correctly, there should only be one PC on the grid at any one time.

I applaud you on this hilarious, and in no way passive aggressive, response. Bravo

Okay but when do people start turning into cockroaches

@Roz It's kind of like a Tier position, only the more you invest the lower you drop.

I've always wanted a zombie-themed mush with high mortality, an ensemble cast, and a game with a constantly changing grid based on human migration. Like TGG with people having their intestines being eaten.

I was on No Return for a while, but it was pretty much people playing house, having movie nights, and doing yoga. It was like The Walking Dead: Woodbury (but a GOOD Woodbury where nothing bad ever happens and you can be a cute veterinarian who teaches yoga) Edition

I'm sure the game is great for those types who want to play house with minimal drama and never have their characters at risk, but that place was totally not for me.
