Not defining it as a Mush/mux but a Story Teller system for WoD will help.

There is plenty of interest in that as I've been watching the Discord discussions in WoD Codex and there are games hosted in discord.

Having a platform that bridges the mushers and the TT'ers into one game can grow the audience. If not then I have somewhere to play that 80's Miami setting.

@faraday Time for gaming is one of those things I've considered. As I'm one of those who play for a few months then disappear only to return again. I don't have the stamina and/or availability to dedicate myself to something every day. Once a week sure.

This is not meant to be a solution or to replace other games out there built on other platforms but an additional option for the hobbiest who can create their own pop-up world/setting.

@arkandel

My approach would eliminate the need to have any mu code knowledge to build up an entire game. In this someone can create their bubble of Fallcoast, San Fran, Australia or whatever. A WoD Hub for various settings and games. They can be ST ran or entirely freeform. This will also have ST tools for players to create NPC puppets. It can support bubbled 'worlds' as small or large as they want.

There are folks out there like me who have no desire to staff on a game or the headaches that come with it. There are folks out there who enjoy story telling for a small group of friends or their circle. There are folks out there who want to play Immortals or Demon and very few places have that sphere open. (This will be a 2e platform, just using those as an example)

The player/handle can build their own world and invite whoever they wish. They may also dis-invite players witch gives them control over who can see their sheets, what setting they create and who can be involved. They can also give this 'power' to others over their world.

So in essence they're their own administrator for as long as they want to be.

It's been briefly discussed and mentioned in other topics so just going to post this up in it's own thread. So a couple of months back I've spoken with @ThatOneDude @Auspice, and a few others, about my idea using Evennia to create a WoD sandbox for player STs that allows any story they desire in a temporary setting. This is would be ideal for those who desire to create a WoD game but do not have the skill for coding an entire game based on rhost/tinymu/sh. It would be self managed including:

• Game and Web based Cgen
• Temporary rooms to create settings for the ST's story
• A command that gives permission for a handle to view the players completed +sheet
• A sign up system for the STs to manage how many players they'll allow, their rules, etc etc.

TT games are being ran in discord. There's plenty of active folk that enjoy the WoD theme but stay away from Mushes because the perception is toxic or they do not care to have to write paragraphs each turn. Whatever their reason I think this could help bridge in more players and story tellers.

The downfall is I do not know Python but I'm learning to make this vision of mine happen. Maybe folks want to play in a Victorian, island, western, small town setting without waiting for someone to create an entire Mux/mux dedicated to that theme.

This would support any theme, any setting. The other downfall I see is longevity of a character where folks last for years. This is as long as the ST keeps their story going.

At the moment we have Evennia up and running. There's plenty of code of there already shared in github that would allow us to get this half way up and running. The rest we have to figure out which I do not mind. I'm learning.

My goal is to also remove the role of Staff in a game. Administrative only for systems management. That's it.

Thoughts, suggestions, recommendations, or critiques?

Edit: A lot of these games turn into sandboxes. Why not have one giant fucking sandbox for people?

Storytellers are more needed than staff. A game can run without staff as long as a system is set up that allows players to manage their own rp, stats, etc etc. So yeah like a mud.

With the amount of drama that comes from staff ran games especially in the WoD sphere, a game that offers less staff involvement is ideal. No one wants to staff for you folks. There's a dwindling interest in staffing a game when folks have a myriad of tastes that they want catered to.

Has this been done before? Could it work? Possibly. I should probably post up my idea involving a WoD Sandbox that is an ST playground.

Yes.

Can we gush about Red Dead 2?!

I want to spend my gaming career making bad decisions.

@rdc said in New Project?:

make a game set in the Wild West

Uh.. sometimes you just HAVE to match your shoes with your purse with your outfit and your headband.

Coordinating is important.

@derp I need this in my life. Courtroom Oompas.

Mac Miller @26

@bobotron

What are you trying to do with the template?

This is so horrible.

Mad respect for mccain. Hope they do something for him here.

Robin Leach @ 76.

Maybe just keywords then. +help fight and then Clippy appears.

Did you mean +help combat?

Naw for reals just aliases that pull up the same thing.

Piggybackin. Has there been a +help/search <Tupac>?

Edit. Fuck it. Keepin that typo. ^topic

Which books?

The Stone Sky, by N.K. Jemisin

Finishing up this book I'm on to start this trilogy. I'm a gushin a little. I'm happy for her.

Hip hop ain't dead. It evolved and made new substyles. Conscious and lyrical rap is still toppin charts. As does trap, southern, and east coast, etc etc.

It ain't lost it's way. It laid down new bricks.

I guess spending a few hours watching bad porn isn't wasting time.

@cobaltasaurus said in Arx on github:

It’s really tempting to grab this and run

Go for it! Maybe you use it all and maybe you only end up with part of it. Fuck those that naysay about having the same code when it's been offered up awesomely.

I grabbed it. I'm using it to learn python for a WoD project.
