Another idea you could look at is diminishing returns on XP gain. Institute some type of cap, like X per month, and that cap lowers the higher your XP (as it becomes harder to find things to learn from). For example, the METVtM system uses 10 per month up to 100 XP, 8 per month up to 200, 6 up to 300, 4 up to 400 and 2 at 401+. It has worked out well in the LARP I run.

@Jaded
Wait, it was tied to the shakycam Cloverfield movie?
Huh. -
RE: Game Idea
@Jennkryst
That's neat. Plus there's also a built-in reason to disallow mages. Mages broke reality in a similar way. -
RE: Windows 10/Color 256 woes?
I use MUSHclient. It works fine.
You'd have to set yourself xterm256 to have the colors work. This is on PennMUSH anyway. -

@Packrat
If you want free you could check out mudhost.net? Otherwise I think mushpark is one that a fair number of people use.Wikidot's cool; I also found a pretty nice one called mwzip that uses mediawiki for formatting, so it makes using example code and such from elsewise easier.

RE: Coder needed for nwod 2.0 mu
@nyctophiliac
As far as Exalted MUSH, it should use @Volund 's code suite since he's always been heavily involved with them, so that would contain the log every scene pose-by-pose to the wiki code. It also, for PennMUSH anyway, contains a (I think complete for Mortals and Vampire) NWoD 2.0 thing but I'm not sure how complete it is, since I'm not building anything with it. He's usually willing to help with installing and setting it up though, so it can't hurt to have him tagged on this or poke him elsewise.As far as Territory, if you want it to matter to players, give it benefits and reasons to play with. Otherwise it's not going to have the oomph you want it to have. For example, my game, Territory control grants free Herd, a free Influence specialization (essentially a sphere) and an attendant action, and your choice of an Allies or Contacts based on the territory area and what's there. The big benefits to the player are those, but they also have the ability to farm it out/permit other characters to use it (an example I have in the territory file is rent in monthly boon(s) to stay there), and anyone given access to it by the Majordomo isn't considering poaching on the territory's blood total when they feed there, as well as be granted temporary access to the Influence and Allies/Contacts by the Majordomo (probably for a boon as well).
Additionally, if you're having a multi-venue game, you'll have territory overlap; make sure you account for a Vampire, Werewolf, Mortal and Demon controlling the same grid square but accessing that differently and having different needs from it (Is there a Locus? Is there Infrastructure? Is there a leyline crossing?)

RE: Space Lords and Ladies
Y'know, space lords and ladies set on some colonization ship/fleet wouldn't be a bad way to spin that, thinking about some things. The main colony ship, with the different divisions, and then internal politics for the leadership and such. I will post more thoughts on it when I am less tired (or perhaps will realize it's a bad idea once I've been able to sleep).

According to their own bboard, they have permission.=============================== General Banter =============================== Message: 3/8 (timeout warning) Posted Author Permission Dec 09 2015 Kougyoku ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have been granted permission from Becca/Shaval by means of communicae from her husband that I have permission to take and use the entire RfK system as it stands, including the map, city, systems, help file, setting, etc. So no worries all around to Gregory or Fee! ==============================================================================
Now, if this isn't true? I have no way to know, as I don't know these people outside of this board really (Shava and her husbando).

RE: Space Lords and Ladies
Go look at Galaxy Express 999; it's a manga/anime series but it has a pretty nice Lords and Ladies feel.
Sprinkle liberally with Lensman and Dune. -

RE: Good or New Movies Review
If you haven't seen it, the Justice League Gods and Monsters AU movie is really good. It's worth a watch, especially if you like the DCAU, as it's done by the same crew and animation style.
And some teasers/lead-in to the movie:
