@selu Chargen is:
Send me your stats via +Request, sans XP (since most of that can be spent after chargen).
Write a 1-3 paragraph "concept" for your character. That is, I want an elevator pitch. Pretend that I have the attentions pan of a puppy and give absolutely zero shits about your character's history, and just wanna know the broad stroke important parts.
Currently:
Wildcard: Pluckytart, the NPCs, and Lamia.
Reno: Giosetta, Malin.
TR: Libby (meh)
You do know that there are ereaders out there that are designed to mimic regular ink on a page, right? So they don't have the same effect as reading a screen?
eInk is amazing.
@selu Dude, one paragraph is ace. I tend to stop reading after two, but I try to be nice and read the third but gotta be honest once it hits 3-paragraphs I skim. And the game is Changeling and Mortal+ only.
And now my table has been invaded, by people who cannot be polite enough to be quiet. Grr.
@zombiegenesis said in Active Modern Day Games?:
I can't comment on how active it is but there's this place http://calaveras.wikidot.com.
My wife and I have been searching for something to ever since Armageddon MUX went tits up. I've been tempted to dust off my Buffy code and see about getting something started there but I dunno. A good Modern Day MUX would be a cool find though.
PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAASEEEE
Hell, I'll give you space on my digital ocean seed if you need it (assuming @Ifrit or @Thenomain will help me set it up so the ports don't conflict with Sacred-Seed).
@streetwitch Someday when I have extra time I'm going to start learning python so I can do this ... :x

she just does (or has done) a lot of disparate things, including combinations of shit that people make snide remarks about characters only being able to do because they're MU* characters.
Fuck, does that mean if I made myself as a MU* char people would make snide remarks?
What "Good Thing" did you do (for yourself, or someone else), or have happen to you today?
Today I got up early enough to take a math test, and then actually set aside time to write a scene in one of my novels. I plan to walk at least half a mile at the end of the day when I go home.
@coin Or anyone can be-- since one of the things the show ended with was Willow awakening every potential slayer ever. 
. Which was how the couple of Buffy Games I've played on had done it.
@lotherio
Awesome! Gonna check it out.
Please, please, please put the connection info in actual text on your wiki instead of an image. 
I wanna be able to c/p from the wiki if I'm not able to do it from the ad thread for some reason.
He's spammy, and you use fancy words. YOU DON'T HAVE ROOM TO THROW STONES, LAMP!
(Not sure if this should be in SITD or Ads, but since I'm not the game owner or staff this more of a personal "come play!" than a real ad for the place.)
@ZombieGenesis Pointed this place out in my "any modern day" games, and so I decided to check out. They just opened up, the staff is really nice, and they're using the FS3 system with a super easy chargen.
What is Calaveras? Calaveras is described by staff as an Adult Non-Fiction Drama Game. (I think non-fiction is the wrong term but I get where they're coming from). It's a game inspired by any of the fictional non-fantasy/sci-fi shows out there. Dramas, sitcoms, etc. Play the hardboiled cop with a drinking habit, or the nurse with nightmares, or the PTSD afflicted army very trying to readjust to civilian life.
There appears to be a starting focus on Cop/Parademic/Firefighter RP, but the idea is a game to create interpersonal adult dramas. Such as things like NYPD Blue, House, Law & Order, True Detective, The Killing, etc.
I'm giving it a shot because it looks interesting and a refreshing change of pace from WoD.

Come check it out!
I am making a thing!
I will be playing Tizania <something>, who is married to Amanda <something>, two house spares who agreed to marry to smooth over the feuds between their houses, causing a tenuous peace between the two! ...so long as Tizania and Amanda can keep from killing each other! 
I'd be interested in having siblings and such. Original house is currently undecided.
God, you people kill all joy and fun.
Mostly white, but with some Swinomish mixed in very very far removed these days.
