I'd pitch for Gotham rather than Justice League. Justice League has people that are practically impossible to deal with SuperMan, Wonder Woman, Martial Manhunter, the Flash.
Gotham is a lot easier for OC's and FC's to get along with. The power level is lower so it's less... powerful and more easy to write stories about.

@Lithium I hate hardcore no matter what YOU PEOPLE (I'm looking at you @Misadventure) say about it. I have enough stress in my life, thankyouverymuch.
Funny you say that, I jumped up to torment X and died, lost my set, lost everything! No worries, start again, will just be moderately annoying getting the set pieces again

Diablo 3's first season with the Necromancer class has started! Endless waves of those pale-skinned freaks around, skeletons are flying in everyone's faces, it's fun.
I've been working on mine! Level 70, 80 or so paragon levels so far, hardcore mode, got geared enough that Torment IV is like /normal/ difficulty, so thinking about ramping up the difficulty again.
I cannot /wait/. It'll be a hard act to follow, season 1, but I have faith!
To bad studies don't mean shit to some people. Studies just mean that it's something you can point at and go: No.
Look at climate change for another example.
We're like the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, except in fast forward... without even Lead Poisoning to blame.
I loved huttball in SWToR. Some of the best PvP I'd had in ages. Once you had people who knew how to pass the ball and use the game grid... was so much fun.
@Ghost It is all gone. Everything that is not in your chests goes poofs with the character.
When the season ends, they just become regular hardcore characters. After every season I have to go through tons of mail and then rearrange my chests, etc.
Hooray! I just got my necro to 60 in the new season, contemplating turning the diff down from torment 1. I always level up from scratch at that difficulty but, my drops have been subpar this playthrough.... since I only play hardcore, prudence says get to 70... get the set, then ramp up the difficulty.
I would help if I could, but, I have about 4 weeks to find a source of income for myself before I run out of available cash. I wish you all the luck though and well wishes.
I dabbled on MU's since 1992. My first real MUSH was AmberMUSH which I think I started really playing in 1993. So 25 years for me... damn. Over half my life.
There's always the new BattleStar Galactica game. That's pretty much Sci-Fi as it comes right now.

Totally serious, but does anyone want to try a plant-based diet with me?
Truth: I just saw the documentary "What the Health?" on Netflix. My partner and I saw a similar documentary last year, and her current medical (sort of) school is run by Seventh-Day Adventists. We want to try a plant-based diet now -- vegan -- despite the fact that I'm allergic to nuts and legumes.
Anyone have any recipes, if they are already doing this? Share some successes?
Trying to do vegan while being allergic to nuts is a good way to fuck yourself over due to lack of protein.
Just saying.
@Auspice My wolf isn't Batman... not even Nightwing. More like the person who always shows up late to the party, unable to do much of anything.
I hate my work schedule.
@Coin Well in a world view there are a number of places with similar rules, based on religion or parentage. Which is why I attribute that to more genetic lottery than specific race in general.
@Coin said in Raising Baby Gamers:
For an example, in the U.S., you can be white and poor, and you can be rich and black; but you can't be poor because you're white, or rich because you're black; and you can, occasionally, be rich because you're white, and poor because you're black.
I want to live in this magical wonderland where I can be rich because of my race.
You can be rich because of lucky genetics aka being born into a wealthy family, but I've never heard of anywhere that being born white makes you rich.
There are places where /being born at all/ can make you poor, and yes those are often driven by racial lines (I have family on the Reservation still for example), but I am having trouble coming to terms with the: Born white, rich, part.
If I was sexy enough to do so and get tons of views, I would totally be a youtuber. But nobody really wants to watch someone like me play video games. I'm also in my 40's, so... it's not just a young person thing 
I miss when there was actual open grid RP. I kind of hate the idea of RP rooms because they separate the RP, they remove the sense of community, and it helps promote the idea or perception of clique's. When there is a scene in an RP room it just 'feels' closed, like you weren't invited, don't drop in. They aren't on the public grid, therefor it's not a public scene.
Just how it feels. I run into this a /lot/ on Reno, everyone is in private rooms and RP rooms and the grid just feels... empty. It makes the game feel empty. It makes it difficult to feel involved in much of anything at all.
At least to me.
Trying to migrate code is difficult, sometimes it's best to just start clean with a single coder who can write up stuff that groks to /them/. There's a lot of different ways to do the same thing. Some may be more efficient than others, but as long as it works, it works.
If the way the code was written and most 'data' is in database objects, it could be a pretty painless port all things considered, but it really depends on how it was coded originally.
I tried Kydance, but the guy never e-mailed me back. Thanks for the tips.
Our pack could use an Ithaeur and a Cahalith, think Leverage cross with Scandal, Crisis Management. That's the focus.
