Every year my town has a Matsuri festival that is always awesome in theory. Haiku contests, Japanese food, culture, taika drums, etc.
Every year a shitload of anime cosplayers and furries storm it. It's a train wreck. Apparently Japanese culture is a purple furry cosplaying Dragon Ball Z.
And I'm loathe to admit that I hatelove this.
Just want to say that these shows are my shows right now, and they're awesome:
Watch this stuff.
My apartment complex changed ownership, and apparently the new ownership wants to make it very clear that these are their homes; we just borrow them.
Updated for this year:
What's next? Dental records, quarterly walkthroughs, requirement that my car is constantly washed, and no filthy language? They've come into my apartment 8-10 times last year for mandatory changes to my utilities so that they get kickbacks from their insurance that didnt lower my rent any.
Fuck this neo-feudal landowner's follow my decrees or be homeless power trip shit.
Surly, you can't be serious.
@Goldfish Seriously, the YouTube videos and Newtimes picture journals from the Gathering are like XMas to me, too.
Would I ever go? FUCK NO
Is it the craziest WTF grade people watching? YES.
DISCLAIMER These are daydreams, and I will not be returning to MU, even for this scenario.
But I will gladly consult on stuff to make things horrible foe the players.
I'm now LOLing at the idea of him dying, then afterwards when everyone is at the compound with full memory of what happened, someone turns to him and goes...
"Soooooo...about that time you put on 250 pounds and performed AMERICAN BADASS while giving CM Punk a lap dance..."
Man, this set my brain on fire.
I'm now thinking of a character who spends 99% of the year as a boring CPA out of Council Bluffs, Iowa, but when the Juggalo Gathering comes...
DJ RobotFingaz comes out. He specializes in 8bit Kid Rock covers and performs entirely in Optimus Prime armor made out of Faygo Cans. He never turns down performing lap dances for anyone, and is known for making sweet-ass weed chili and is a backyard wrestling powerbomb expert. He is also roughly 350 pounds (2% muscle...ladies) and covered in rub-on tattoos.
His wife occasionally calls and he tells her that he's at a State Farm in northern Michigan working out car accident settlement claims.
@Botulism said in Horror MUX - Discussion:
Every so often, I threaten the players with THIS story for a future season:
An alien invasion at the annual Gathering of the Juggalos. You Faygo drinking ninjas are all that stands between alien invaders and the rest of the Earf.
And they keep pushing me to pull the trigger.
@surreality I said I couldn't be convinced to mush again, but I didn't mean it.
What I should have said was: I will not mush again unless "An alien invasion at the annual Gathering of the Juggalos" is on the table.
It's official:
I am going to play the ass off of Anthem.
@Ganymede What, a human trash panda wasn't enough, so now you're gonna play the ACTUAL TRASH PANDA?
@BobGoblin waaaaaaaaaaaat no shit??
I'm gonna see them again in July so I'll probably get it then.
One other thing I love about their stuff is that it isn't expensive. I love the smaller books for smaller $ trend versus the gigantic 50-70 dollar book.
@BobGoblin Yea and the guys behind the games are great. I'm really rooting for them. When I saw them last (a few months ago) I picked up Tiny Wasteland, which is going to be amazing for Mad Max stuff. I didn't hear anything about Tiny Supers at the time, but since they've made a Tiny game for damn near every genre I wouldn't be surprised to see them do it.
@Runescryer I know it's not FASERIP. I'm talking about the MWP version. Could never get my finicky-ass TT group to try it.
@Goldfish Have fun, then. Sounds like you chose the right FC for you.
@Auspice You're right.
I think people who play FCs need to remember that any given tabletop RPG or MU isn't going to replay stuff the FC has already done. So knowing how Daredevil solved anything in some 1987 Daredevil run is less important than getting to the core of the character so that decisions will feel like decisions he would make.
Which, in most cases, is to constantly push yourself to the point of breaking every bone in your body because you love your friends and dont want them getting hurt in your fights. Then confession. Penance is a big theme with Daredevil.
@Goldfish Netflix Daredevil is actually a pretty accurate portrayal of what's in the comics, character personality-wise.
Often a loner. Roots for the underdog. Takes on hopeless cases. Constant martyr. Willing to die for a cause. Elektra is his Achilles heel.
I think the only thing people dont like is what someone plays an existing character and alters the shit out of them, like a Happy-Go-Lucky Partying Dancing Punisher, for example.
Aw, man, someone made a game using the MSHRPG system after I quit mushing?
Ya fuckers.
