Why not use The Expanse RPG?

Is Green Ronin still actively cracking down on use of their rulebase without their permission? I think someone knowing the Green Ronin peeps said they had eased up on it, but they had resisted PDF for a long time because of it.

I reached out to someone I know who works with them back when I was considering a game. They're fine with MUs run using it, but they'd prefer people have permission of whoever owns the IP (probably Amazon at this point?).

Personally, I just don't wanna code it. Ares works perfectly for this kind of setting.

Me: "...the children?"

You're not wrong.

It also inspired me in a binge re-watching of The Mighty Boosh

god I still quote bits of this show to myself all the goddamn time.

'do you think the black bits in bananas are spider eggs?'

NO ONE AROUND ME IRL WOULD EVER GET THESE THINGS SO I JUST HAVE TO WHISPER THEM TO MYSELF.

I THINK they now air, up to date, the Great British Baking Show on Netflix. I love it. It is the best 'cuddle up on the sofa with the kitties' show in the world IMO.

It also got me through my recent dental work (they have netflix in the patient rooms at my dentist).

I always recommend Masked Singer.

They're not trashy, but. I think they're great.

@toreadorfool said in CoD Ancient Rome game...:

tieing them to the Romulus/Remus myth.

I think this is a great move.

@Wizz

Isn’t there a second edition now? How is it?

There is. I haven't had a chance to get it / read it in full, but from what I've seen it looks great.

@hedgehog
Katy Perry - Roar

I guess but if it's done consecutively it feels like the easy way out!

@hedgehog
(since the full title is 'Doctor Worm')

Robert Palmer - Bad Case Of Loving You (Doctor, Doctor)

Eclipse Phase is not Expanse.
Expanse is not Eclipse Phase.

This would be two different games!

Now.
An Altered Carbon game using Eclipse Phase would be apropos.

@hedgehog
MKTO - Bad Girls

I didn't catch the earlier one CUZ THE THREAD MOVES SO FAST.
That's why the 'if it stalls for 24 hours, you can restart it however' rule is there. In case of ruts.

@hedgehog
Flag on the play! Band name doesn't count!

@hedgehog
Bon Jovi - Bad Medicine

I love this idea on paper

But I think people trying to talk like Belters would immediately make me lose my mind, ke?

My plan on that front was to provide links on the website to the Belter dictionaries out there.

@Macha @hedgehog
fuckit I'm keeping it
The Weeknd - Tears in the Rain

I fucking hate PIPs.

But that might be because this time last year was the first time I was ever put on one with a really vague thing to improve and a boss who gave me zero input/guidance on how he expected me to improve it and it led to getting fired, so.

fuck PIPs.

@Jennkryst said in I need a god damn Expanse MU.:

There is even a fancy Expanse RPG that we can probably just ignore, but it is a thing.

I will note I've spoken to someone who works for the publishers of said RPG (if someone wanted to code it) and THEY are OK with it being used, but they ask that the owners of the Expanse IP be asked their feelings on the matter.

@RDC admit it you just like telling people how to beat themselves up

(I'll add I have two different timelines for a poss. MU as well. And part of why I didn't go forward is I'd rather be a player than run it. Ahem. I would be more than happy to help set it up, though!)

Target has a 'Black Friday Preview Sale' going on that ends tomorrow (I dunno what time tomorrow??), buuuuut....

They have weighted blankets on sale, most of them in the $25-30 range.

ETA:
Also adding this. It's still way out of my price range, but may be in someone else's...

Usually $400, currently $250: Dyson Air Purifier
