In order to help keep up some momentum, I've decided to look for expanding my currently-one-person staff.

Anyone interested to help with, say, wiki stuff? Or helping me smooth out some code bugs?

@sthanheykel Just for the sake of making sure it's not a typo (because god knows my brain has hiccuped enough in this sort of thing) ... it's not an inadvertent typo in iptables or the router?

@sthanheykel Glad it was an easy fix!

Do you have a router that does any incoming port restriction work?

@Wizz and @Misadventure I appreciate the suggestions! I'll see what I can do to offer some useful examples.

So I think this place could use a couple more pairs of eyes to test stuff out, see what's broken or otherwise not working, what could be improved, etc.

Any parties interested in or willing to toss some feedback my way can check out the little setup I currently have at lawless-space.com:7890

@chibichibi The front page (at least at the time of this post) has an image that lists silvren.com:1510 as the address.

@ixokai If you have any links to useful and idiot-accessible guides to templates, namespaces, and that sort of thing, that would rule.

I have come to realize I remember jack shit about setting up a wiki beyond getting it installed and running. This is, I think, the biggest obstacle slowing me down before I open up the game for interested testers/players/etc.

@surreality Yes, mediawiki for sure. The last time I really did any wiki construction was like 7 years ago, at least, before I took a bit of a MU* break for some time. So I am super rusty at that stuff.

@surreality @magee101 Yes, it's a game running on Fate Core (mostly to facilitate wacked-out, high-concept sci fi ideas relatively easily). The theme is "original" which is to say heavily inspired by (ripping off?) that block of media listed at the bottom of the initial post in this thread.

I wanted to provide a space for nearly everything, but without the trappings/constraints of existing IP. So "lawless space" is a catch-all for the frontier of the universe, a plot point by which different character ideas can congregate without everything having to cohere seamlessly background-wise.

At this point, I mostly just need to finish drafting up the few news files I have and remind myself of how wiki templating etc. works to complement in-game info and allow for logs etc. to be posted if desired.

I think I may open this up to some super-alpha testing soon, for anyone interested.

There are a few things I need to tighten up and test out, but I'm hopeful that the game will be fully open before too long.

Wasn't someone a few months ago plotting out a Witcher-themed game? Between that idea, the recent Black Company thread, and broad interest in Dragon Age, it seems like someone needs to respond to the exigence for a gritty fantasy game...

I happened to see a 40K game listed in the mushcode.com list (looks like they're very new and still putting everything together, which is totally fine):

@Ghost Eventually I'll need help, but I am content for the moment to move along at a decent stroll.

Would you rather I said "not soon" ?

"Soon" is the best I can offer right now.

Yes, I think so. (I am certainly interested.)

LAWLESS SPACE - coming soon to an Internet near you!

Experience HIGH-OCTANE FULL THROTTLE SCIENCE FANTASY ADVENTURE!

At the edge of the known universe is a frontier territory that no intelligent civilization has yet to claim or even recognize. It is a space for pioneers, explorers, criminals, exiles, and marshals, each looking to carve out a home, glory, riches, or justice.

LAWLESS SPACE is populated by:

• Wayward travelers, lost in time through wormholes!
• Blastersword-wielding scions of star-spanning empires!
• Hivemind accountants seeking the deadly 'omega audit'!
• Hyperbike-riding radiation pirates!
• Otherdimensional open-sourceresses infused with crackling cosmic energy!
• Enterprising mobsters connected to the Kaiju Kartel!
• Sentient planetoids going through a teenage goth phase!
• Heavy metal-blaring slamazons riding overclocked warpboards!
• Anthropomorphic animal cosmonauts from parallel realities!
• All manner of other intergalactic denizens!

LAWLESS SPACE is intended to be a game that allows for all manner of absolutely insane sci-fi and science fantasy character ideas and situations, whether played straight or as absurdity.

LAWLESS SPACE is meant to be part blank canvas, part ever-clarifying universe crafted by the contributions of players and their amazing, wacky, badass ideas about what might exist beyond the edge of the cosmos. Think space opera + candy-coated ghost peppers + sleep deprivation to a Psy cover of Manowar.

LAWLESS SPACE makes use of the Fate Core rules to try and allow for character concept flexibility while still offering some sort of narrative-friendly mechanical arbiter (as desired/needed). There might be other systems out there but, whatever, Fate works well to support bizarre high-concept ideas.

When I copy and paste that text into something like gedit and make sure every new line is \n, Muxify correctly adjusts the output to a single line.

When I CTRL+H \n -> \r, the output looks just like the input (i.e., not a single line).
