@misadventure

The only real reply to that image:

Yo Gabba Gabba?

Chimichangas!

edit: I can't get the stupid gif to work. Whateves.

@mietze said in RL Anger:

I will probably resign (not worth potentially endangering others)

Do not do this. Doing so only isolates you further from others and leaves him more available time to get at you. Right now, your job gives you a few hours where you have the protection of security. If you're okay with your job, stick with it - but do go ahead and get the first police report if you haven't yet so that you may set a history of actions you have taken that will help with any future restraining orders.

Why Hockey should remain in the South.

@bobotron They can also steal from the cartoon canon on that one and have the big seven (Bats, Supes, WW, GL, etc..) away from Earth on a mission and unable to return which leaves the YJ/TT teams to fill the gap, as it were.

Edit: or for a slightly darker tone - presumed dead - a theme where the villains think they've 'won', IE, they destroyed the Hall of Justice or Watchtower with all hands, and something something.

There's also the idea of going with the YJ baddies of The Light/Reach.

And they just keep coming.

@Coin 2016 was just lubing us up for 2017.

@Ganymede

@Tempest I knew //one// person before I joined BSGU. That was Eva/Abigail's player. I ran things because I saw a game that was well set up and @faraday was open to my suggestions. I don't want to be staff. I never want to be staff. I just want to do things that are fun and help the game. I like running things. I like posting things. I've been doing both pretty consistently, but I take breaks now and again, just like anyone else. A couple of other players @GirlCalledBlu for example, have started running some plots as well. As long as we all communicate with each other and not step on toes, we're doing great.

@Ganymede said in Game Stagnancy and Activity:

On BSG:U, you get a Luck point for running such a scene for other players. I think you're required to post a log or the results on a certain Board. Not 100 percent sure, but that's how running the plots is incentivized.

That's pretty much it in a nutshell. Also, the Scuttlebutt board is usually used for posting results of all military action scenes - it helps keep everything pretty much in order. Once a month, @faraday updates the wiki with a Story So Far section so that players and newcomers are able to have a cliff notes version of what's happened so far, and it usually contains the Scuttlebutt posts.

@Tez said in Game Stagnancy and Activity:

How do those smaller plots run within the shell of the -- umm, I'll call it a plot arc -- really impact the word?

Actually, they do. @faraday hasn't set a end for what's going to happen at the end of the campaign. There may be a last grand battle scene, but the small plots in the meantime will set what happens in that arc. One of the objectives on Picon was to locate a POW camp where one of the PCs escaped from. Last night I ran a recon scene (the one @Ganymede mentioned) that was to be the start of it - because of the failure of that mission, that objective is now in jeopardy. If they had succeeded, there may be more of a chance. All the small air battles and ground battles, they help @faraday decide what the final result will be. On Canceron, we had a split - we lost one of the major objectives, but was able to free a whole providence.

It's really about being open ended on what you want to have happen, and a willingness to let the players drive the direction.
