I've been really getting into 18XXs lately. Then again, I am a bit neurotic.

I need to upvote this a million times. Just because someone mentioned 18XX. Any particular ones?

@ganymede I dunno despite being beside some of The Drama lately, on the whole I don't seem to notice this stuff either.

@auspice The old being so valuable they can't move you to somewhere else

I'd love to somehow get Phoenix Dawn happening on a MU*.

@theroguex The name is vaguely familiar but I can't really recall unfortuntely. I'm not in contact with anyone from the original Dragonlance MUSH or from AoM these days.

@auspice said in General Video Game Thread:

But for whatever reason, Steam will just constantly flash '<name> is now playing....' for it.

I had to finally shut off the notifications. I kept seeing you (and about 4 other friends) pop up on my screen every few seconds and it was driving me mad.

It's very annoying that it does that. It even does it when we're playing the game. WITH THOSE FRIENDS.

Still, it's pre fun!

@golgoth @Cobaltasaurus @Livia Re: Kurst @HM?
Awwww. I have one of those silly genuine smiles right now. Juke and I caught up, and I was telling her about wishing I kept up with old RP compatriots. All three of you (Cobalt, Livia, Daiden) were among my faves (w/ Juke and others), the sorts that make me miss online RP at times. I hope y'all are still writing, because you're too good not to be read by others.

Hey I got back into it just recently after like 10 years of not doing the MU* thing. You can too!

@surreality Oh heck yeah. I'm not complaining, and those little actions had some huge results down the line. Or if I am complaining, it's only about being overwhelmed at times. Which has already been addressed, and is not just the game. When that KILL SCENE notification suddenly came up I laughed and laughed and then had to get everyone to pause so I could drive home and login in glee.

I stand by my statement in another thread.

This is some wave of the future shit we are on.

It was imperfect. Messy. Confusing. But it's been incredibly active. The short stories and constant waves of new information kept my character active. There is always something to talk about, discuss, plan or whatnot.

If I had one issue, it would be this sort of pressure to be there or you'll miss something important. But this could be my hangup more than a game complaint. I'm about to leave town just as the story is coming to a close and I'm salty. (Even though, I probably won't miss it. Still. I might.)

But the story isn't even The End! I'm already brewing the next version of The Confidant and I am totally psyched to keep on.

I can certainly relate to feeling like missing out and needing a lot of activity to really get involved, and with my time zone and working 9-5 and work being pretty damn busy the last couple of weeks, it was hard to feel relevant. Plus my character was just the money behind the event investing in the tech, in the end I don't feel like Madison did much -- her contributions to the story weren't the biggest, but there were some, for sure.

But as you say it's not The End, and we're all learning as we go on this. It can only get better!

Also, we have had our first PC death!

It is almost fitting it was The Penitent. It was very exciting. I stayed up too late. But I did not expect that KILL SCENE to hit my screen when it did.

There are a few people who have to be consulted today (due to being offline, but in range of the events) about how things might roll out for their characters, so there may be more deaths in the fallout.

Shit, meet fan.

But really, I am loving this concept. I've always wanted an episodic game where things can shift around. We have so many MU*s now that don't even make it a year because peoples' attention span doesn't last. I think this may be the perfect answer.

My most enjoyable PC death ever! Madison will be missed!

@aq AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

I echo this sentiment!

@lithium That sure would make it harder!

I'm not sure I was too fond of melee combat in that game, but my first run was brawler Gangrel so it must have been okay. It's been a long time since I've played it.

@thenomain The TV talking to you was kind of neat, but arguing with a stop sign was pretty blah.

NO, YOU STOP!

(I would never say that V:tM-B is great writing, but sometimes it's okay to be twelve years old again.)

Yeah, okay, you're not wrong, and I can't say I didn't at least smile a little the first time it happened. I did enjoy the subtle bits from the TV; not when the newscaster was having a conversation with you but when he was reporting one of the murders or whatever. 'Police are investigating several leads and suspects and say they know, it was you.'

@lithium I found Tremere super easy with the ranged blood stealing disc and good stealth it's just all you ever need.

@thenomain The TV talking to you was kind of neat, but arguing with a stop sign was pretty blah.

I mades an update.

I love hidden movement games (Fury of Dracula, Letters from Whitechapel, Specter Ops and Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space are great). People should give this a go, or if you don't get any interest you'd maybe get some success on the PBEM forums on boardgamegeek.

But I doubt I'd be able to commit the time to this myself unfortunatey.

Still I can see why this flowchart is intimidating. I've never really gotten into Mage myself. Speaking of the ccg comparison, it's like dropping the MtG comp rules on a new player interested in learning the game. It's a lot of info they just don't need.

@ganymede Man I was trying to teach Jyhad to a magic player just recently and just going through all the different card types made them give up
