That sounds like a good idea. I honestly would find it much more convenient to roleplay via google docs. And honestly, with work schedules and my odd hours at night, playing MUSHes just isn't feasible.

My biggest pet peeve with animals was when I was at a family wedding about a year ago. One of the guests demanded to bring the dog into the church (not a little pocket rat, I am talking about a pit bull), and the priest said, "Um, no, we don't allow dogs in the church unless it is a service animal." Said guest pitched a little bitch fit and ended up leaving.Thankfully, they didn't stay and chain the animal to a tree to have it barking all through the service.

While the whole "fur baby" thing does grate on me, I do have a good friend who is infertile and uses that comment a lot. For the sake of charity I normally don't bring up my frustration with that term with her, particularly when my wife had a history of infertility, got pregnant by what seemed to be a sheer fluke, and now we are expecting our second kid.

I guess there's always Shangrila to roleplay that business...

I am honestly in favor of focusing on one family, their retainers, and etc. for small games - almost like a Downton Abbey in Westeros. But I am strange.

Setting is a big thing for me, I guess. I'd play nWoD say if it were...based in Colonial Mexico. Shitburgh, Maine isn't my bag I guess. Guess I am in the mood for exotic.

I'd be down for Dorne...When I was on BoD, I found Dorne to be good, and ideal for small games since there is a smaller family base.

Have you tried Kushiel's Debut? I haven't played there. In fact, I am kind of looking for somewhere to play. I am a Game of Thrones fan I just don't care for playing in Oldtown. And I can't stand nWoD. nWoD chargen reminds me of filing a tax return.

So I am in the middle of a job transition. I have a few days left here at this job that I am at, working IT, before I head down to Louisiana to start a new job.

My biggest pet peeve working in an IT corporate environment: the newspeak that is used in offices and people speaking in a technical language that does more to obscure rather than clarify. To quote Cleaver Greene from the Australian sitcom "Rake," "the church and lawyers at one time used Latin to obscure meanings. But now we've succeeded in making English as equally incomprehensible!"

Some websites that support my frustration:

I take it that there is not host or port address yet for this game as it is still in gestation?

I could go either way....

Though I reckon that I would prefer something that doesn't follow the books or the shows for the sake of artistic license. A futuristic setting, taking place maybe 400 years after Targaryen reconquest, where the Westerosi conquer a new land on the planet similar to the Spanish/Mexica conflict would be interesting. Room for new families. New plots. New ideas. But again, I understand where others are coming from. I would be very much interested in playing in the books, weaving new stories around characters like the Telltale Games have been doing.

I would be down for it. Anything other than nWoD.

My problem is that doing it before the Targaryen rebellion would prevent people from flooding the game with uberspechul platinum blonde Targs. But as long as it is not BoD, I don't give a fuck.

I'd be down for playing/helping make a game that takes place before the Targaryen conquest, maybe setting it in one of the seven kingdoms. The Vale would be cool.

Unfortunately, one cannot log in as a Guest into this place to check it out...

As far as card games, I am still enamored with A Game For Good Christians. The cards are a bit expensive, but if you buy them for a gaming group it eventually pays for itself. I like playing it with theologically-minded people who can take a joke, secular people, and people who like the Biblical equivalents of "that's what SHE said!"

@WTFE

That is a bit uncharitable. Texas has some good things. Fields of bluebonnets. Great Tex-Mex. And Shiner Bock.
