@lithium The horror of someone thinking you're on the bandwagon.
I wouldn't say I thought 'she was on the bandwagon' I would say I thought she was talking about a more 'dynamic' type of game and wanted to address that yes I plan on this WH40k game to be a dynamic style game rather than a static setting in which mostly/only the players form the world around them.
@lithium At first for the moment just working on Imperial Guard. I need to do more research on the other WH40K systems and see how easily they are implemented. I'm not sure how I'd implement other races just at the moment but thanks for the clarification and it's something I can think about to help make the game the most appealing to everyone that wants a WH40K experience.
@arkandel But that's actually bad for me anyways, because my web browser eats up tons of resources on my shitty laptop. MUSHclient eats up almost nothing.
@faraday tbh, I have no idea what telnet is really, except I think it's what I use on MUSHclient to connect to games? I'd really loathe to have to learn a new client after a decade or more of using MUSHclient >.< I am a creature of comfort.
@lithium most MUDs I have seen do this, you drop into the game directly into a tutorial that walks you thru what a MUD is, how you interact with it and how to get more help if the tutorial isn't enough by itself or you're just interested in learning more. I have seen a few MUs with it but not nearly as many as compared to MUDs
@horrorhound sigh My PS4 controller broke and I can't Let it Die and my membership is going to waste as I wait for insurance company to send me box to sen controller to them in
@lithium guess I suck then! lol, but I do know the jump range is just a wee bit further than the walk range on level ground for medium mechs anyways. Not sure about heavies. Light mechs iirc have way better vertical jump compared to any other mech class.
@lithium Light mechs are different, they can walk pretty far compared to heavier mechs. A shadow hawk on level ground can walk 4 squares. With full jumpjets it can go atleast 6 squares.
@lithium This project, if it I can get it off the ground, would not be a static MU*, but it would have moments of calm to allow for those slices of life. I very much plan to have it run something similar to like Pathfinder's Adventurer's Guild except on a self contained MU
I have seen games using the click links system more and more lately and while personally I find it gimmicky I bet it does help newbies ALOT
@zombiegenesis a wide variety! If you read my second post I have set the game on an unknown planet beyond fhe edges of known space
@seraphim73 honeslty I feel that we can cater to both style of players by doing other games have with multiple levels of danger tagged to events, i do want to see slice of military life style RP as well as classic tabletop feel encounters. Also because of the setting you dont need to be a wh40k ubernerd to get involved I dont think so we shall see. If I can find a benefactor to help kickstart this project I think it could do quite well
@faraday hahahahahha you accurately described my first time on a MUSH. Even after years of playing MUDs the transition to MUSH was quite jarring
I already have a premise and setting I think would work well for MUSH.
The Icarus, an Apocalypse-class battleship, forever moves forward through unknown space. Its mission, to find worlds useable by the Imperium, quell native species and leave behind a beacon so that its sister ship The Osiris can come along and begin building upon the planet. A crew of just over 1 million with a volunteer regiment of 100 space marines from various legions. A generational ship that has been traveling amongst the warp for two hundred years.
You were born upon this ship, you were trained aboard this ship, and you have conquered worlds in the name of the Imperium while flying the regalia of this ship. Your brothers and sister within the Imperial Guard always by your side.
Bound for a new world, the Icarus navigates the warp when suddenly the Navigator screams out and perishes within his chambers, and the ship goes into red alert as it is swept up within a Warp Storm. The ship is wracked and assaulted, pulled out of the Warp. Heavily damaged it is caught in the gravitational pull of the planet within this system. The Icarus is lost, but the hands aboard thanks to the captain and his heroic fight with the crippled vessel are able to mostly make it to escape pods, equipment is jettisoned low in the atmosphere. You watch through the escape pod window as the Icarus plows through the planet's atmosphere and the last words of the Captain are broadcast before contact is lost "For the glory of the Emperor, Icarus shall conquer one more world with her dying breath!"
@lithium you can jump further than you can walk depending on jumpjet size/amount compared to tonnage but afaik your limit is your sprint distance
@magee101 said in Warhammer 40k?:
Sorry if this isn't the correct board to put this on, but is there any Warhammer 40k MUs out there? Personally I love the Only War tabletop system the most as it focuses on the ground grunts more than the spesh marines and think it would work well on a MU setting since it's more about day-to-day living in the military (similar to Battlestar Pacificia if anyone remembers that Mu) If there isn't any warhammer games out there would there be enough interest in one in the community for someone to develop one?
So this was my first post to MSB two years ago and it had some interest behind it at the time. I am more able as a GM and more willing to learn coding as needed to get this going but I still am unable to be a host creator. So MSB community, you have a GM that is willing to learn coding if need be to get a WH40k going. How much do we want one?
My own "yes I will rp more" are reflected in many sentiments already stated but there is a certain blend of RP and OOC interaction. Even if someone is an amazing RP'er if they dont seem to click with me on an OOC level I find it hard to want to continue RPing with them at least 1on1.
As for "hard stop no more!" This is pretty much literary ability. Spelling errors now and then not a big deal but if it looks like a third grqders book report I might be walking away. People that put up 6 sentences only one of which is a stimuli that my character can actually respond to? That also sucks. Two sentences that have weight are fine but if thats all you can do that will bore me.
One thing to keep in mind is I will very rarely avoid public RP with anyone even with those I dont like, I just dont do 1on1 scenes with rp I dont like
Whats your YT link? Sadly my net isnt good enough to watch twitch content not even vods for some reason but YT works fine
