If I were to call someone an XP miser and not mean it in gentle teasing-- it would be for places where there is no flat-rate XP at all. Places where the attitude is "you don't go out and get +Votes, you don't get xp".

On a more personal note. I'm thinking that I'll make a mortal RPIT/Federal Marshall character for non-PC monster hunting. I has found a picture that's amazing for it. Anyone wanna be my partner?

I walk. I walk and someday I'll beat my soda addiction.

I'm the original flake.

@Sanguine No Nightvale for now. Though I might potentially do an invite only nightvale-mortal thing off of the darkwater sandbox. But unlikely at this time.

Oh. A note on old WC PCs.

Your old logins to the game have not been changed. They will still be around for at least the next 2-3 weeks. Any old logins not claimed after that will then be moved to <name>_###.

Hallo folks!

Are you looking for something non-WoD but still urban fantasy? Or are you looking to try a slightly less crunchy system? Looking for an Anitaverse game? @Chime has given me her blessings to revamp the 'Wildcard' game. There is much revamping happening. I'm still putting some nuts into place but folks are welcome to come around and start making characters (and even start RPing). Things are incredibly bare bones.

But joining now does have the benefit of being able to work with me on some of the backstory of the game, and establishing your PCs early.

Wildcard will be using FAE (Fate Accelerated Edition) -- if you don't know it, please don't be intimidated -- I don't know it very well myself but @JinShei has helped me grately and we'll learn together.

Now! About the game!

Late in December of 2014 there was An Incident between two young preternaturals. A werewolf and a vampire. Things quickly spiraled out of control and now the city of Taminkal is a warfront for the preternaturals. The vampires and the werewolves are out for blood and have dragged everyone else into it. Raids are being planned on both sides and the fights are getting worse and worse--

Are your leaders dragging you into a fight you don't want to be in? Do you hate vampires and want to kill them all? Are you a wererat who thinks you can use the chaos to further the rodere? Are you a witch that is uncomfortable with having been pulled in by the vargamor of the local pack?

Do you just not want to be involved? There is one neutral zone within the city. Wildcard Casino & Resort, run by an old witch with wards against magic. Any are welcome to stay, violence is not tolerated.

Mortals are food, but will they be willing to stay that way? What will happen with tourists come to town and get caught up in the warfare? Rumors are that RPIT is requisitioning a lot of silver weaponry. What will happen in the city when things boil over?

Taminkal is a (fictional) Western Washington city on the coast. The Casino is the main attraction for the city. The city is roughly a little under the size of Seattle with give or take some population density and square miles. It features a harbor with commercial shipping and fishing, it isn't far from the Olympic National Park and the Hoh Rainforest, and sits right up against 101.

Come check us out! (I'll be online for quite some time today to answer questions, and do some work on the grid.)

Note A note on old pcs from the game-- you are welcome to remake old pcs from the game, on the wiki they are all now 'oldchars:<name>'. Also people are allowed to remake characters from any previous AB game as they desire, but they must fit into our chargen and FAE system.

Oh. Noooooo.

Not her Merry Gentry books. But Anitaverse using Fate Accelerated Edition (FAE).

I am currently thinking that we will be using the first three books as official canon. The game won't be sex based where staff is considered but I give no shits if you're fucking behind closed doors. Seriously.

One of the game rules will be:

• I don't care, neither should you. (Unless it's impacting your fun, leave it alone.)

ETA: I have a first plot arc planned out. For some soft open stuff, and then a main event when we have enough activity. People will be allowed and encouraged to run their own plots, and given some tools to do so.

Well, there will be an anitaverse FAE game sometime soon. However I am not sure if that counts as nonwod.

All I can say is: if you want it, build it.

I would, maybe, play an original fantasy game. So long as it was Lords n Ladies.

Kids do act differently with different people. However, if they learn they can get away with certain behaviors with certain people they will.

My cousin's girl knows if it isn't her turn to go with grandma and grandpa if she cries enough she will go as well.

Having lived in a house with three kids all 5 and under (and niw an infant has been fostered and will likely be adopted), two of have disabilities--

I no longer judge how anyone raises their kids.

Kids are hard, man. Even the toddler who had no disabilities had his little quirks that made him difficult at times.

Kids are hard. I still want -one-, but I am prepared for it to be the hardest thing I ever undertake.

I liked both Sydney and Sidney. But Sydney, the mortal is one of my favorites. The game is long dead I am allowed to have favorites now!

Sydney is still one of my favorite PCs from Darkwater. Ever.

I might actually like FAE. I haven't decided. I also haven't actually played anything in it yet. But, uh, maybe soon. Homework has killed me this week so has stopped me from finishing up things.

@Thenomain ...maybe, but @JinShei and I spent a while talking about it too. Poor girl's gettin it from all sides.

They strong armed me Theno. :U

Want is way too strong of a word. The correct terminology is "no longer violently opposed but neutral".

I rage quit after trying to level a pugilist.

Patrick is hilariously/maddeningly blind to his own ridiculousness. Work horse though.

One could say the exact same thing about Spider.

Patrick is a good faction head, but he is the fakest person I have ever met online.

I don't see how someone changing a template while being brought to an alternate universe is anymore lolsy than someone being brought over to an alternate universe.
