@lordbelh Sometimes, yeah, it can be insulting.

RE: Fallout: Montreal
@rizbunz Given that it is based on a video game, and the easiest PrP's that are ran are combat PrP's, I would say you might want to put a focus on making sure that is done.
Story is great and all, but RP without purpose other than just RP can often times be taken as worthless like bar RP often is.

RE: [NOW OPEN] Titanic Two-Tone Tales: Noir (Superhero Mush)
@mr-johnson I liked playing there, then I disliked playing there when I got rules lawyered by another player.
The system is somewhat tricky as well.

RE: General Video Game Thread
@magee101 I shadowhawk can walk 5 squares, and run 8.

RE: General Video Game Thread
@packrat Seriously I don't think you can. It just seems that way because the terrain is very rarely level and thus the jump jets continue beyond the normal walking range due to terrain. I will do more testing but... even a spider can't jump further than it can walk as far as I can tell.

RE: Best Superhero System for a Mush?
@misadventure This is not as hard as you think. Template's can be made for different threat levels. It can all be categorized, it just takes work.
Once it is done though, it could be automated even.
I don't think it's impossible.

RE: General Video Game Thread
@magee101 I've tried putting more than 5 jump jets on a shadow hawk. It definitely can't jump as far as it can sprint.

RE: Best Superhero System for a Mush?
@misadventure I would say Champions /MUST/ be balanced, by hand, for every game. It's designed with that in mind, and why it can be used for every setting imaginable.

RE: Interest check: WH40K Only War
@magee101 It's not about slices of life. It's I /HATE/ the Imperium. I hate Space Marines. I hate the Imperial Guard. The only faction I moderately like has been so abused in fiction that I wouldn't dare to try and play one on a MU, and that is the Sisters of Battle.
In Warhammer 40K, I am an Eldar person. I love the Eldar. I love their lore. I loved them even when they sucked back in the rogue trader days through to 5th edition. It wasn't until the tail end of that edition that they got strong.
Now they are stupid strong, but I just /love/ the Eldar.
Why do I say all this? Because people who are familiar with current meta WH40K will think I am just a bandwagoner.

RE: What is your turning point?
@goldfish said in What is your turning point?:
TS pressure. I don't mind TS at all. I'm DTF. It's not something I seek out at all but under the right IC circumstances and with OOC communication, I'll go all night bay-bee. But when I was playing women, I always had this problem. You can almost feel the ickiness through the screen as they are pushing me in a way I am not comfortable. And given my usual laid back nature, I make it pretty clear when I don't wanna. If you push me? Consider yourself cut off. I don't have this problem playing men. Hrm.
Welcome to every day of our lives.

RE: How did you discover your last three MU* ?
@faraday does have a point here, the intro room for a person logging into a MU is rather sparse on /what/ to do. I think a good way to deal with this is have a very small desc'd intro room/creation lobby that had just to exits and an explanation that read just simply like:
If this is your first text based online role playing game, then type <exit name> and it will walk you through how things work here.
If you are not new to MU*'s go <other exit>
Something very simple.
Then you put in a room or series of rooms that explains the way the code works, teaches them how to go forwards and back, etc.
That is not a bad idea at all.

RE: Interest check: WH40K Only War
Quickest way to turn me off of WH40K is make me play a boring Imperial.
I'd rather have something like The Greatest Generation, where there was shifting battlefields, alliances drawn up, broken, etc.

RE: What is your turning point?
I don't mind being paged when I first login, I don't mind spontaneous RP either, I do wish there was more of me. I have so many different directions and things going on that is /impossible/ to give everyone the RP that they deserve.
First world problem I am sure but...
It is no less frustrating, because I want to RP with everyone and make it an enjoyable experience for as many as I can, I just can't. There's not enough of me to go around because there are only so many hours in the day.
That said, another way to get me to back way off is to make me feel like I need to change who I am in order to RP with you, or talk to you.
Just no.
I don't mind people wondering what I am up to, because usually that means they are just asking if I am free to RP, or if it's something they can also RP about, which is cool beans to me.

RE: General Video Game Thread
@packrat DFA'ing further than run and punching depends on how many jump jets you have, and what the terrain is. You cannot jump further than your walking speed, so level terrain you will jump the same distance as you can walk.

RE: General Video Game Thread
@packrat said in General Video Game Thread:
Death From Above is really good for killing tanks, as a note.
On another note I finally finished the campaign but it was rendered bittersweet through the loss of a leg mounted double heat sink on my Royal SDLF Highlander. Completely impossible to replace!
I really cannot praise whomever composed the painted cutscenes enough, combined with the music they are beautiful.
Why take leg damage from a DFA? Just run up and stomp them. All melee attacks kill tanks easy.

RE: Best Superhero System for a Mush?
For me it's a hacked version of hero games. Ditch Speed as a trait, set it up with automated power levels like you choose your balance: Offense, Defense, and Attack, and Dodge. Then you have it do the points for them. Like: How strong are you? And they choose an option.
It'd be complex as hell, but once you got it done, it'd make chargen a /breeze/ and the system is very well balanced.
