I'm a POC IRL.
There are a lot of white people who can sympathize with POCs, but most cannot empathize with POCs.
Please stay in your lane and don't try to play a POC just b/c. If you don't know the life experiences of what it's like to be a POC, then just play an interesting white person. No one will begrudge you for it.
Since I have time, I have more time to run Mage (2nd edition) CoD plots over at Golden Road. The plot I've been running has some Contagion Chronicles tie in, so feasibly, I could get together a group of other supernaturals for more troupe play. You're either all Sworn or all False. That'd be neat!
I just don't know if anyone would wanna play in a Contagion Chronicles of Darkness setting with mage as the sort of center focus.
Turning Golden Road into an online table top. Doing a MUSH is too hard. It's still the same setting. I'd like people to ideally either play a troupe of magic students (think The Magicians style play) or faculty (think more along the line the show of the Librarians/Sliders/Dr. Who for those more powerful mages).
If you're interested, with quarantine lasting longer and longer, please let me know.
Students can get 0-15 XP to start off with, faculty get 40 XP (that's why it's two diff kinds of level of play).
I'll be running scenes during the weekday starting around lunch time (noon PST) and we'll see how long it goes. The previous plots are still ongoing, but yeah, I wanna get my ST on.

So it looks like I might have COVID19, but there aren't enough tests in my area. Yay >.<
@RDC From the looks of things, that seems to be the popular opinion. That was the basis of Fallcoast and City of Hope, right? (except COH is oWoD)
So, I need help. I know what I like doing and enjoy which is telling stories. I have a really big storyline that is planned out and have done so in an episodic manner.
What I don't know how to do is wiki fu and do bells and whistles (code) on a MU*. Thenomain and Derp have graciously helped with the code which is why we have a game up at all, but if someone was willing to help prettify the wiki, I would much appreciate it.
Finally, if someone likes worldbuilding and wants to build up a grid (I've built up the university, but I use temp rooms for most scenes), I'd be happy to have someone who likes building/descing places both real and imaginary for people to play in.
If you're interested, please hit me up (Cookie Monster) on the game: telnet://goldenroad.mudhosting.net:4201
Thanks!
Story Arc Updates! Episode 1
We have officially started the metaplot, and there are two major threads with different focuses. It's a great time to join either as a student or a faculty member as things will continue to be uncovered.
The Town That Death Forgot - Faculty
The Ashen Sword of Bone has been an artifact that is considered one of the few pieces of proof of archmastery and mages traversing the golden road to archmastery. As such, it is known as a sariras, one of the remnants left over by an archmage. It is considered a PLATONIC ideal, connected directly to the supernal, so the problem is: Why did it suddenly crack? The faculty are currently trying to find the chantry where this wonder was found somewhere in Egypt.
The Reckoning of the Misfortunate Ones - Students
Field trips! That's how it always starts. While out on a practical magecraft exercise to identify and purchase a few low powered wonders in New York City, the students stumbled onto something more. Two little girls with access to high level magics with a seeming ability to teleport and the other to stop time in an area completely! When time was stopped, the girls spoke about the Reckoning and how they needed to stop it by gathering enough power before teleporting off. All that the students on the trip know is where the girls go to (St. Anne's Prep School in Manhattan) and that apparently their powers have killed. Are these girls newly awakened? Are they one of the new watchtowers? Or is it something else entirely?
Total longshot here, but looking for anyone who knows Dylan-player from the Reach. I lost track of him as we were friends and then life happened. Wanna invite him to Golden Road.
Dylan was a werewolf at the Reach. Just tossing it out there!
@Carex We dont have a Fate system on Golden Road. That's pretty much cause it's single sphere and I let whatever happen, happen. It's a dangerous world, and magick is dangerous. So far no one has died though, but we did just start 
@Carex It works and is up. Try goldenroad.mudhosting.net port 4201.
I'm on it right now and just ran a scene with people? I'll look into it though. Thank you for notifying me. I know people are on though? Just HMU as Cookie Monster. Thanks!
As an aside, we're running a big scene tonight. If you wanna make a char in an hour (no need for stats yet, just have a concept and I'll let you on grid for the scene), then come join in! Mage-newbs is all good too!
@Cobaltasaurus Feel free to make a PC! I'm going to be running small scenes to advance plot as much as possible since I have a bunch of free time right now.
