@kay said in Interest check: pure OC superhero game:
@Lithium - I mean, I mostly play World of Darkness in all its various forms these days, plus other games where you might die, so I don't think that's a concern. But could you let me know how you define pure consent? It's been a while since I heard the term.
Pure consent is when there is no system, there is sometimes not even a sheet, everything is just arbitrarily decided by the people in the scene.
In other words, I like dice RPG systems.
I would play the hell out of a pure OC super hero game, no matter what system it used, so long as it wasn't pure consent.
@packrat I've had to sleep in my contacts before, it is not fun, your eyes wake up all gummy and horrible feeling and it is so /hard/ to get the contact lenses off even after putting in a ton of solution/drops.
The wiki is a hard thing to get past on a game like this too, which is a shame, because as it's an original world the detail needs to be accessible to get into the theme and really feel a part of the world, at least for me, I have so many questions that make it hard to fit into the character I am thinking of making.
@arkandel I went to get in the shower the other day and had forgotten to take my glasses off. Queue confusion as to why I suddenly had water spots everywhere in my vision.
@sunny Tenebrae also suffers from an extreme lack of anything going on on the grid at all, as people idle around waiting for people to run 'adventures'.
@ashen-shugar Fortunately SSD drives have gotten better at this recently, most SSD drives will last many many years of near constant writing. Unless it was like, non-stop ram level flush and fill maybe... but I am no expert.
@jennkryst said in Is there a classic/20th WoD game out there with an open Mage sphere...:
There is Let Freedom Ring, which is CoH-lite (WC and PF are there. HB used to have a staffbit, but if I remember which one it was correctly, it has been removed. It is anyone's guess about FF).
This is disengenuous at best.
This is just city of hope without the dinosaurs. All the same staff. All the same problems.
@carex Uh there are plenty of games for adults who do have adult relationships when it is thematically appropriate for the characters to do so. I don't know why you would think we don't have games for adults.
The idea that any game is a game just for 'children' is pretty insulting really.
There used to be an adult game that was based on super heroes, where fights always devolved into sex.
I don't remember the name of it, but I do remember one of the intro things was something like big bad ass villain telling the wonder woman type of character the following:
"To the victor goes the spoils. Now bend over."
Never actually played there (Wish I had, it was a fun premise for a sex game) but my plate was too full at the time.
@thenomain Ammo doesn't get lost, you just need to have tons devoted to it on the mech and the equipment 'slot' purchased to put in there. Once that's in there you won't need to replace ammo unless the location gets destroyed, because you lose all equipment on the destroyed location.
Vehicles range in weight as well, there are 100 ton vehicles also. You will come across vehicles that can and will threaten heavy and assault mechs. I've run into missions already that had enough PPC, SRM, and AC boat vehicles that I lost a Shadow Hawk to vehicles. Yep.
Battletech is a game where you mostly want to destroy the small stuff first, just to negate the amount of incoming damage you receive because it can get bad fast if swarmed.
Also keep your mechs within range to support each other, a lone mech is a lot easier to deal with than a lance of mechs.
@Ganymede yeah it is a little jarring, like AC 5's doing 45 damage instead of the same damage as a medium laser, or AC 10's doing 60 damage.
In general 1 point of battletech damage translates to 5 points of the game damage, but things are balanced a little differently.
It's still quite good though.
@thenomain I use one SSD for windows, and put /some/ games onto the SSD as well, not all mind you, just some. Then I have big data hd's for everything else. To be honest, the differences are not /that/ big, at least on my system, between the games on SSD and not, it's mostly about loading screens which, are no big most of the time anyways.
@carex The problem with an 'Apocalypse' game is at that point you're getting shit like Antedeluvians running around and doing silly stuff. The game just kind of breaks for regular character power levels at that point.
@thenomain Will it have true VR where you can taste what they ate?

@packrat said in General Video Game Thread:
Either way I have replaced the Shadowhawk in my lineup with a Grasshopper. I refit it to mount seven medium lasers and six small lasers, it jumpjets up to people then melts them.
I think it might be more effective to replace the six small lasers with an additional medium laser and two more heat sinks.
The reason you keep the smalls, is because small lasers and machine guns fire when you use a melee attack. It makes your melee attacks /super/ effective.
@auspice I know there are survey programs where they can pay you in stuff like that, but I do not know the particulars, or how long it would take to get the requisite funding.
@packrat My biggest is still 55 tons but I haven't been able to play much in the last 24'ish hours.
Most themes have room for multiple areas of RP.
Not all of them, but most of them.
People like to prioritize what they enjoy the most but that does not mean that anyone else has to follow those expectations or priorities.
If the game says: Keep sex to private rooms' then they are explicitly saying 'We do not care just don't make it a thing' if the game does not care, then anyone else caring is violating the spirit of the game in a sense.
In the end sometimes it's just about enjoying the theme, but everyone enjoys it in their own ways.
As for why /I/ pursue TS on games not built around it is because of the three following reasons:
Character growth and development. It affects the character in sometimes deep ways, emotional changes, reactions to the individual, etc.
Continuity. Most sex MU's don't have any sort of continuity to them really, I enjoy the ongoing continuity that my character is living their lives in.
I enjoy the RP of it from time to time. It is /fun/.
That's it.
@jaded I liked Doc Ock in that movie. I also thought Sandman was pretty well done too.
