@Chime everything looks good!

Hey Chime, just an FYI -- I think thereachwiki is down again

@Sunny : I'm always interested in help bounce ideas off and talk topics to flesh things out. If there is still opening/need for people of that sort

Sooooo....

I don't know what's going on with the website here, but I've had a hella time trying to reset my password. Each time I've attempted to reset it, nothing happens after I click the submit changes button (it's not loading/confirming anything). Is anyone else having this issue? Is there some sort of workaround?

I've tried this on Google Chome, Firefox, and even the dreaded IE.

As this point, I'm going to try Netscape and/or Opera.

I'm asking this, only cause while I've not played all the Witcher games out there (PC then XBOX/console), I'm intrigued. What game system are you thinking of using? I am someone that primarily used White Wolf's game system for a long long time, so if it's a new system--I'd like to make sure I'm familiar with it

@Eerie: Eerie knows that I'm just buying my time until Changeling 2.0 is released, reviewed, and implemented on Eldritch. Then I can start playing Autumn Court boogeymen left and right!!

Joooooachimmmmmmm! It's your favourite Mystie, Laaaaara!

I miss you Old Books! I'm sad that we didn't get to RP as much within the sphere as I had liked

Disclaimer: I have been playing on/off/on/off WoD games since probably the birth of the Internet (circa 1995). Some of the names of the characters I may not be able to recall. I'll try to keep this in something of an organized manner.

Games I have played on

oWoD (Old World of Darkness) -- a long list
Paris (Les Fleurs du Mal)
Tartarus
Masquerade (First game. First Vampire. First lessons learned that people be craycray)
Bar Harbor
DoubleCross
Dublin
DarkMetal
CrackMUX
Dark Wine and Roses
--the other incarnation of DW&R after DW&R went through a reboot (Shadowed Isles?)
Hint of Malice
Guilded Promise
Denver by Night
DueRewards
DarkWeb
Cajun Nights
Gathering Storm
....others I'm sure, but cannot recall at the moment

nWoD (New World of Darkness) -- a shorter list
The Reach
a CtL themed game taking place in Victorian England (first nWoD experience. First Changeling)
Safe Haven Harbor
Eldritch (I have a PC...but haven't played there yet, cause I'm dragging ass with concept )

Names I have used over the years (either in oWoD or nWoD)
Tarlyn (Vampire. Tremere)
Valjean (Mortal+)
Archer (Sidhe Changeling)
Lucian
Luciano (Lasombra/Mortal+)
Joachim (Mage. Hermetic/Mysterium)
Aaron (Changeling. Autumn Court)
Locke/Collwyn (Changeling. oWoD Custom Kith/CtL Fairest )
Darian (Mage. Hermetic/Ex Miscellanea - Merinita)
Darien (Sidhe. House Darieann)
Erique (Vampire. Toreador)
Dorian
Dorsey (Mortal+. Hunter/Ghoul)
Donovan (Changeling. House Dougal)

What version of WoD is Masquerade using? I understand it's Old World of Darkness, but are you using 20th Aniversary Edition?

As for mechanics, I seem to actually enjoy the mechanics of nWoD, especially XP spends. But that's just me.

Wow. It was the very first WoD game I played back in...jeez...'96? '97? A long time ago in the [way] distant past. Had a few fond memories and not so fond memories of that place back in the day. I am genuinely surprised that Masquerade still exists out there in the MU* world.

@DarkDeleria The wiki page is down for now since I gotta fix this stupid SSL error thing so I just blocked people from using it. Sorry about that! Is there any specific information you have in mind so I can prioritize getting that to you/out?

I was just wondering about the usual: Application process, Freehold information, what's accepted, what's not, what's available, what's needed, what's overdone. The usual

Is the wiki page down? Is there a wiki page for information?

I'm considering a move to Austin. But I think the city is too weird for Changeling.

It might be a fitting place then for a Changeling game. Call it the Wyrd West

@DarkDeleria
For myself, I like the idea of a metropolitan AREA, just... I hate trying to do things, or build things, in established cities unless I KNOW the city. I feel like I'm just going to crib things I know from cities I know, and insert them into any city I would play in, and a lot of people are like MUH AUTHENTICIY!

That I get. I would get a bit twitchy if someone used Chicago as a setting, but had the layout all over the place (ex. The University of Chicago being north of LSD - Lake Shore Drive). But then again, if you had vampires, werewolves, and changelings running about, then who am I to get twitchy about authenticity on a fictitious game. So why not take a metropolitan area you like and create something similar. Like how Gotham City is New York by night / Metropolis is NY by day (someone described it online at one random point I once read). Like New York's Manhattan layout? Call it New Jack City (wait...don't call it that, unless you want a Nino Brown PC running the streets).

Where was I? Right! If you like a metropolitan area, borrow the map, add some nWoD stank on it, and call it something else within whatever state you want it to take place geographically. It's a game--not NATGeo

@Admiral: I'd be interested in chatting up ideas for a new nWoD game though it might depend on what you're looking at as a foundation. I like the idea of metropolitan city types of games (no one seems to do nWoD game that takes place in Chicago, and that makes me ). I also like the idea of alternative time line/history.
