@Wizz said in Spitballing for a supers Mush:
I just don't really see what the Shadowrun setting brings to the table for a superhero game, especially one set in Marvel/DC canon. Shadowrun is cynical, dystopic, and generally speaking pretty low-powered and street level in focus.
Nothing, tbh. This is why I think it should be OCs only. I don't care if someone is 'inspired' by canon heroes, like @Lotherio 's mention of an Iron Mike, etc.
@Mr-Johnson said in Spitballing for a supers Mush:
The problem we run into with any OC server is that people will STILL app Tony, STILL app Batman. Sure they'll hide them a bit
Who cares? I'd love to see people make their own version of Iron Man or Emma Frost or whoever.
I was hoping for a Shadowrunners are Superheroes theme, not 'Here's another Batman for people to fight over, and another Supergirl for people to camp.' More like...ultra street-samurai. Wildly powerful magic users. Saints Row IV stuff.

I am going to try a game concept that I've wanted to do for ages but been afraid to do. Shadowrun Superheroes.
I am here for this.

This has become my number one reason to get a job. So I can see a doctor and find out wtf is wrong.
Find a free clinic in your town. Most moderate to large cities have one.

I think I'm starting another spiral downward. Wish me luck.
Luck wished! Buy lots of chocolate and/or other comfort food too. A little waistline is better than a lot of sad.

I'm drowning. I had a long diatribe written out, but I realized there wasn't a point.
That's all.
Same. Offering lots of hugs.

This is a good indication that you should save yourself a lot of headache and wasted time by avoiding this place.
Definitely avoid. I asked if the huge wall of yellow anger text in chargen about stat bonuses could be changed to a different color and got laughed at. He said if it was painful, it was doing its job. So I just left.
Makes me seriously wonder if he's Zero in disguise.
@Obie said in Star Wars Republic d20 SAGA - (Prequel Era):
However, that's all in flux. After what I saw last night, I'm reconsidering quite a few things. This is why some policy hasn't been written up yet. In between thinking about this, I've been adding utility talent trees for Dark Siders, adding NPCs onto a NPC list for the community to use, running scenes so people don't get bored and wonder why the heck they're on a beta, and such. These are just all things I'm learning to juggle,but I knew what I was signing up for when I gave this project a go. Don't be surprised if I drop the ball a few times here and there, but the intentions is never intended to be malicious.
That's good to hear, at least! Might I suggest not adhering to a bell-curve? Lower power levels sound great at first, but as the game gets older, it only hurts new players. I'd recommend getting people to 7-8 quickly and then making it a slog to 9-11, then making it extremely difficult to get to 12+. But that's just my hot take on it.
Nope. Dinosaurs are the worst. I'll have to pass on this too.

I think tea would be a good 37. A warm cup of tea with honey can make everything seem much better.
I think this is a really good rule to add to any future lists.
@SilentHills I don't have any booze, but you can have virtual hugs!!
@A-B said in Tips for not wearing out your welcome:
I would like to know what else but an angry tone somebody can respond in who has been, in their honest opinion, unfairly banned from a game, and then taken to task in front of a lot of strangers for trying to appeal and even apologise (you didn't see the private message I sent Tat). Believe me, I have been making a big effort to tone it down as much as I can.
It sucks, but it's kind of like being in a mud pit, or quicksand. If you thrash and fight, you're just going to sink. But if you just calmly extract yourself, you can walk away. And it may hurt for a bit to leave friends behind--especially if you can't contact them! But you'll make new friends if you just learn from the experience and try to grow better for having learned something. Shouting never changed anyone's mind, but taking the lesson to heart can.
When you finally find a game that reignites your love of MUSHing and makes you feel like a member of the community again.

The past handful of days have required far, far too much medication and meditation and deep-breath-calm-blue-ocean for my liking to keep the flashbacks and panic attacks under control.
It's easier when it's a case of 'this, too, shall pass'. Most things do. I've given it quite some time, but it isn't passing; it is getting worse instead.
I can't keep this up forever, and odds are good I can't keep it up much longer. There's not really an option B, though. (Well, there is, but thankfully my brain hasn't been going there anywhere near as often as it was for a few years, and that is not an easy fight, either. That option really isn't acceptable and I have gotten better about reminding myself of that. It's still going there a lot, but not more than once or twice a day, and briefly when it does, which is a huge improvement.)
This blows.
You should talk to your doctor about this as soon as possible. There are always (good) options. 
@Auspice said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
3 min past when my ultimate werewolf event was supposed to start and no one is here.
One person said she'd be running late. Two people confirmed earlier today but aren't here.
Earlier this week there was about a dozen people who were all confirmed.
I'm starting to feel super embarrassed for even thinking of doing this.
I am so sorry.
I always think I'll find a cool social niche to fall into where I can provide a useful service that isn't time sensitive or combat/scene-heavy. Then a couple weeks later I realize I've done essentially nothing and I can't quite figure out why Arx worked for me so easily but nothing else has.
I just wanna have a little non-essential but still fun shop somewhere. Be a cool spy that doesn't need to be Solid Snake or a stripper. Run a little mechanic's garage that isn't The Best There Ever Was. You know, the RP of a normal person living in extraordinary circumstances.
And worse, the environments are there. I just don't feel at home in them like I thought I would.
