@vulgarkitten said in Let's talk about TS.:

have yet to encounter a single tentacle.

It's an inversion of the Highlander axiom. There can never be only one!

@sunny said in Let's talk about TS.:

ETA: Way more gross and invasive and wrong than the tentacle porn in the first place.

Also 'gross' and 'invasive' differs for everyone. It's none of our business what the other person's kinks are.

The only responsibility I want folks to assume is to keep it behind closed doors. Don't force me to witness it - since it makes me take part in your sex stuff by association - and we're all good. Tentacle on!

More constructive phrasing: What is the policy on xp? I think my above notes make it very clear on the RAW in many of these books.

Next time please keep it to the constructive phasing. The rest of the post is unacceptable in this section.

I have a hard time picturing hipster millennials being anything but Free Council

Millennial rednecks!

@autumn said in San Francisco: Paris of the West:

@arkandel @Ganymede @Cobaltasaurus So, single-Order? Multi-Order?

From a gameplay perspective I'd say multi-Order just for flexibility.

From an IC point of view... millennial do like their echo chambers.

@autumn I'm counting the minutes before someone asks if the game will allow custom Legacies.

@kay said in Let's talk about TS.:

However, that's also why (I think) superhero games put in rules to limit sexual things. Because if you don't, you don't have a superhero game anymore, you have Shang with capes. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's a wholly different genre and flavor. I remember on the first Crucible City game we had to implement rules for that very reason, because we had people app in TS concepts, not superheroes.

That's my own peeve. I don't mind TS at all in any OOC consenting form unless it takes over the game, and too much becomes about who is fucking whom and how. Wonder Woman and Batman can engage in all the BDSM acrobatics their players want behind closed doors... but when it's time to fight Amazo it needs to be about the JLA beating up a crazy robot.

This is my take: a bunch of hipster millenials running their own fast food joint. They serve glutten free burgers, the guys sport manbuns and fancy beards, they're all on their phones half the time gulping down craft beer the other half and have crippling student debts to worry about. Half of them might even still be at school.

This.

I like the name "Regulators."

Let's make this happen.

@autumn Did you like the wizards' fries ?

@shincashay said in San Francisco: Paris of the West:

@arkandel I've never played Mage before. I've tried so often and it never 'clicked' for me. mortal+ I get. I need MtA for dummies.

I'm now really excited to give mage another try.

What I always liked about Mage is that although Awakening could be traumatic it didn't need to be.

Every other splat is full of trauma and angst by necessity. You are a bloodthirsty monster or a raging death machine or a dead man walking with voices in your head... but Mages can be happy. Like, naturally. They can afford to worry about their grades. And they get to reshape reality but how does that get them a date?

Here's what I'm thinking of, for a cabal.

Half of them might even still be at school.

The restaurant is also their stronghold, a nexus of activity for the city, a social laboratory for the Mastigos, a spiritual collective for the Thyrsus, and the OOC hook for the group to have a public space under their control.

It could work!

@auspice said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Due to lack of car, it costs me $30 just to get to/from the theater.

Holy shit. Even if I UberX to the furthest cinema in Toronto it won't be $15 each way.

@quinn What article?

@kay said in Darkwater: The Return:

@burgerslave Mr. Harris! Some of us are eyeing this place to have our characters travel to http://www.musoapbox.net/topic/2283/san-francisco-paris-of-the-west - if we don't hit up the upcoming Miami game. Perhaps an idea?

That's so cool. For some reason I always loved characters moving between games, despite the impracticalities involved.

@ganymede said in RL Anger:

Apparently, you can't even be a stereotype without the police getting in your shit.

It's okay though, in Sterling Brown's case justice has prevailed! The racist cop who started all this was suspended for two days!

Come on, dammit.

@auspice Isn't the guy like 21 by now? At this rate it'll be called Kung Fu Young Adult.

@admiral said in RL things I love:

Kid was literally learning Kung Fu. And then beating up kids who trained their whole lives through the magic of 'My Dad is famous and so I get movie roles.'

On the bright side Will Smith is one of Cobra Kai's producers, and the series wouldn't have been possible without him. So whatever. Kung Fu Kid it is!

@thenomain said in Hello MSBites! Grade your administrators.:

(eta: Admin, consider this another request from me to move the Hog Pit back into the Hog Pit. Thanks.)

We'll do better than that, soon.

In the mean time I'll lock this one. It started out pretty promising and I enjoyed participating in the discussion, so I'd rather it didn't degrade any further into Hog Pit bait. We surely have enough threads where people can prove they can be assholes to each other.

@insomnia said in Hello MSBites! Grade your administrators.:

Are we supposed to stick u's in everything because @Arkandel is in Canada, and @Ganymede is from Canada, so 2/3 of the mod team dictates the rules of word usage?

Y'all will need to say "sorry" every time you call each other a fucktard and must stick an "eh?" at the end of each sentence (sample example: "you're such a fucktard, eh?") as part of our new anti-toxicity policies.
