@ganymede Oh, I know Lithium meant Werewolf 2E. And I'm not putting werewolf in. 1E or 2E into the game. I've a super violent DO NOT WANT reaction to it.

I handed a group of players a rank 5 locus (because it was there pre them via story stuff from before when werewolf was opened), and they threw a fit at me that I wouldn't let them move the locus.

The locus was the porch of a particularly bad house on Baker Street, and they wanted to dismantle the porch and take it to their pack house. When I said: Uh, that'll destroy the locus. They threw a goddamned tantrum.

And then there was the non-stop innuendo and suggestion that all WB players were just there to be sex-toys on werewolf channel. That I, in my player bit, would ask people to stop. That I, in my staffbit, would ask people to stop. That I, as the game head, finally went to Tributary with complaints because people would not stop.

I cannot remember a single thing about the implementation of werewolf on Darkwater (save for personal RP between my PC and another player's PC), that did not cause me stress or anger. I'm not doing it again. Even if 2E werewolf is a very different game.

I'm not doing it again.

I just read this and I think I should leave it here:

That was a glorious read. Thank you.

My favorite sidequest involved Longneck Lukowski's Cannery, south of Salem Witchcraft Museum. I ran into a random settler who told me about Longneck Lukowski's cannery. Go take a look around!

@skew said in Chronicles of Darkness cyberpunk game seeking help.:

You got my codey code help if you need a cut-rate Thenomain!

I've plans to help with the coding, but I've asked that we use Evennia and not tinymux. Because I'm 98% done with MUX coding. (1% goes to DW, and another 1% goes to The Descent).

@cupcake I dunno!

Also we got an Alban! So if you’re looking to join hit me up about OCs. Though Lisebet and Jack may be on the roster soon-ish? Uncertain.

@Admiral whelp, sucks to be you then because I'm almost done with the code.

@surreality Do you hate mage because of how its been played or because of what it does? I really, really like mage. And yeah it can be those things, but players who aren't dickholes to everyone around them don't turn it into that.

@Luna I'm at an age in my life (and have been for a while), where I am constantly surprised at how young I am still and how much time I have left. (When I was 18-24ish, I was almost constantly concerned that I was getting old, and wasting my life, and I needed to do ALL THE THINGS NOW. Of course that could have been due to how I was living, but-- Anywise, yeah. When I was younger I thought I was wasting my youth).

These days I'm constantly amazed I've lived this long, and have at least (hopefully) 50 more years to go. But at the same time I look back and think: Man, I was so young. How did I get "old" (relative old)?

I'm still so young that amount of time I have left on this planet is almost terrifying, but at the same time I've leaved almost three decades and that makes me feel old.

It's weird.

I'm weird.

You'd have to ... ask a ninja.

/puts sunglasses on.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

You have earned my hatred FOREVER. So much hate for ask a ninja.

@fantom I'd love a game set in or around the new movies, tbh.

@Admiral said in The Descent MUX:

Mage isn't overpowered.

You can -totally- kill a Mage who for some reason forgets their hanging spells, is asleep, and somehow fails the difficult to fail rolls to avoid being surprised.

You have no idea how mage 2.0 works do you? Or even mage 1.0, for the matter. You're acting like every fucking mage out there can have hanging spells (tip: They can't, that is the purview of a time mage, and that's always been that way). And as another thing: magic is no longer instant, all spells are extended by default and you either have to have a lot time magic to do it instant or spend reaches to get there.

@Luna said:

If you're complaining to your friends about the pressure, yeah they're going to tell you to back off for your sanity.

I wasn't really even complaining about how hard it would be, or how difficult it is. I was complaining that the way one of my teachers has our grades set up (they block off the assignments for previous weeks at a certain point) makes it so I can't keep track of my grades, and that is irritating as I am trying for a 4.0, and want to know what my running total for the class is--

To which I was told that it was an impossibility and I would have to perform outstandingly throughout my entire career as a student and "no one" has it, so I should just stop.

@faraday said in Star Trek?:

You can have a single ship and still make it interesting. You could also do a single space station - I'm surprised nobody's done a DS9 game honestly, as I think that's the Trek setting most conducive to being a MUSH setting (and similar in vein to Babylon 5, which was a successful MU way back when).

Anomaly and Gamma One!

@fatefan I’ll play a fate game like this!

So I've been thinking about doing a GMC based Changing Breeds game. I've got a list of animals that I'm going to allow, that someone will be making stats for. We're going to use the rules from War Against the Pure for form bonuses, but go with the other aspects/gifts/whatever from Changing Breeds.

I will likely write up background stories / myths for each of the species myself, so it might be a little while before this becomes open to the general public.

But since I've lost my Vienna-based grid, and my Fort Lauderdale-based grid, my options are /yet another Washington Game/, or make a new grid. If I do that later I'd need someone to help me do it, or it'll be a small one set up so it can be expanded by players as we go.

If I do make a new grid -- anyone got suggestions on where to set it?

Should be somewhere on a coast so that those few folks who want to play sea-shifters can.

@Ghost
Jesus. Just. Jesus.

The most "horror" story I have is that while I was in the Cam LARP, we had a "core group" and then folks that came in from further out of town (Fort Lauderdale, and then out out northward). There was often times drinking after game. I'm chilling with a chick from one of the non-Core group, and her boyfriend(??) and another guy are chilling drinking with a guy from the core group. The night is going well. Drinking continues.

Then there is fighting. Fighting starts by the pool. Fight gets broken up. Fight was between one of the core-group fellows, and the boyfriend(??) of the chick I was hanging out with. The out-of-towners are going to leave, one of them is sober and can drive. So we're in the process of getting folks out to the car. When the core-group fellow comes from around the house and starts off at the mouth again. At some point calls the chick a whore.

Her boyfriend(??) is being held back, but the guy antagonizing him keeps going off at the mouth. He says something else about the chick, and all of the sudden she's jumping from where she was to go after him. And I'm grabbing her about the waist and holding onto her. Meanwhile, cops have been called. And I'm like: Just stop, just stop, the cops are on the way. Don't do anything.

And she eventually collapses, so I'm on the driveway in a tangle with a very drunk chick, who is now sobbing and telling me she missed her period when the police arrive.

ETA: I'm still not entirely sure what was going on that night. But most I can piece together is that the core-group guy was jealous of chick and her boyfriend.

@ixokai I don't remember, tbh. Probably because I had three different staff names. >.> And that's not including the time that I was Santa Monica.

@ganymede said in Darkwater: The Return:

Honestly, the past half-dozen times I've come on, there was nothing going on. In the game's defense, I tend to hop on during business hours EST, and, in the evenings, I've been setting up my RP on The Descent.

I'll be back.

-- Feesh.

Yeah, my work schedule was absolute shit, but I've recently quit. And while pending other job I have more time. We're pretty packed with Things Going On this weekend. I'll be running something around 8pm ET tonight, something tomorrow afternoon (3pm ET), something early ish on Sunday. Eddie has a PrP going on on Monday, and we're potentially doing something on Tuesday.

@Miss-Demeanor There hasn't been a lot of consistency is basically the name of the game. Part of the approval mess is my fault: I was like, "You know players can spend their own XP if we toggle in the code right?"

And then we do it, and turns out that whoever input werewolf in Reno didn't account for most XP spending. So Werewolf code is a mess that doesn't work the way it should in the book.

When I offered to change the system over from the half-mess it is to Thenomain's actual working werewolf code I got absolute silence. Even though it probably would have taken me only a couple of hours. I could have done it over a weekend and the code would be working correctly.

It's part of why I stepped down as Nekomata. That and other stuff hasn't been getting done and I don't want it to default to me.

To the assholes who are taking up three tables (all of the ones by the plug ins) in the cafeteria, but are all CLEARLY TOGETHER: Fuck you.

Just seriously.

Fuck you.

Condense yourselves down to one or even TWO tables, and allow me to sit near the outlets without having to be knocked in the side when you decide to jump around all animated at your fucking Magic game.

I hate you so goddamned much.

Every time someone stops and stares my cord strung from the wall to the table (about four feet) and glares at me, or nudges it with their food and glares at me, I hate EVEN FUCKING MORE.
