I once played an online campaign where each player started as the leader of a party a few weeks before elections for the congress of a fictional European principality, this allowed us to have parties that advocated for Republicanism or to mantain the Prince as the Chief of State. I personally went with a moderate Libertarian party and I was managing to get some attention from the media. Sadly, it went downhill when some guy decided that he wanted to create a nazi party and the admins allowed it.

Yes way over.

They have 3 Shadowrun games out. All of them are good. Shadowrun Returns, Shadowrun Dragonfall, and then Shadowrun Hong Kong. I have played and finished all of them and would recommend them.

I will join the thread as a me too.
I too loved the Battletech setting and game, though was not a fan at all of the Clans.
I also second BDA support of House Davion.
The longest running table top campaign I was ever in was a Battle Tech / Mechwarrior game.

My tabletop group will cycle to Battletech/MW this summer. Although most of us have enough toy figures to do a larger scale using the whole house and measuring tape for the on-field action. We call it Housetech.

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry for reviving this old thread. Just wanted to say that i was Sisay Ginaz on DuneMUSH III.
Through the years, i held on to the many fond memories (and some logs) of the amazing roleplay and atmosphere we had back then.

It seems to me now that in the blink of the eye the MUSH was gone, the website as well, and i'm lucky and glad to have finally found a few of you now.

Thank you all for the wonderful times and memories to last a lifetime!

Best regards and warm hugs,
Sisay

PS: Does anyone know if the MUSH database is completely gone?

@BigDaddyAmin
I have run long scenes with up to five people in Google Docs (it's how we've handled some metaplot/travel events for our LARP), but I couldn't see an entire MUSH-style game being run that way. But for a small group of people, the document gives a good real-time addition and way to save masses of data. Just have your players and GMs pick a typing color and go to town.

@Arkandel Yeah, I found that one of the largest problems from a design perspective for me too for fantasy games. I decided to go with, 'Focus on a single area, make virtually all the RP happen there, and then abstract everything else for plot'. I'm still not very satisfied with it, but I think trying to do all the areas and then having players teleport between them in something supposed to be gritty and realistic is just too damaging since there's very real problems of fucked up continuity in people being two places at once.

I dislike crossfit. Mainly because often form is sacrificed in the name of ego - a very bad tradeoff.

What I would like to see is a MUSH based on the same world as Guy Gavriel Kay's Lions of Al-Rasan, A Song for Arbonne, etc. It's close enough to some themes in our world's medieval era to make it easy to play, extremely low-magic and very engaging, if you ever read either of those books.

HELLO I AM HERE TO UPVOTE YOU TWENTY TIMES

I was so emo when I finished that book. 😞 The duel between ... well, let's not spoil things, certain characters, was handled in basically the best way I've ever read a fight going in a novel.

I was all grrr and :(.

SoS was written in Aramaic, originally, but the bulk of Hebrew scriptures were translated into Greek around the 3rd century B.C with the advent of the LXX. So much was the prevalence of Greek that Hebrew became a liturgical language used in the Temple, and Greek and Aramaic became predominant for business and everyday life (when Jesus is handed the Isaiah scroll in the synagogue in Luke 4:17, he probably is reading from a Greek or Aramaic copy). I am more familiar with Greek. My Hebrew and Aramaic needs work.
