So some months ago I gauged interest in a PR/KR MU. I've been idle, but I'm on a kick again. So here's the pitch for basic setting. I'm ... probably going to start writing a theme this weekend.

What is wrong with me?

Lord Drakkon is dead.

Defeated by his younger self, the wicked Ranger troubles the earth no more. His machinations have, however, caused untold changes. The merging of timelines, of alternate universes, has not been undone upon his defeat. The earth, This Earth, and the stars beyond are now home to many teams of Rangers to protect it. A side effect has also caused other individuals, who call themselves Riders, to manifest powers of their own.

Also on the Earth and in the Stars are all of the Rangers' enemies. The Machine Empire. Zedd. More and legion. Darkness swells, and only the Rangers and their allies can rise up to face these threats. A wise man once said these words that echo through the Grid.

It's Morphin' Time!

No, I'm Lilith.

No, I'm Jenny.

Well there goes 30 years of careful cultivation.

I didn't want to. My hand was forced.

No, this is Patrick.

I guess it's time to learn python. ... or find some modules for a csys while i start to build.

Yeah, so I read this whole thread. This shit is my drug. I cut my RP teeth twenty-odd years ago in Wheel of Time chatrooms on AOL. I am guaranteed to play on this thing and would be happy to help as I can. I'll probably just idle on the server forever until people show up.

Reading all these reasons for shit pisses me off. Because people should be allowed to play what they want. God, it's like, I don't know. There's a time period where people can play whatever they want. It's called a buttload of thousands of years BBY. You can have all the jedi and sith you want. You can have all the wacky force traditions. You can have smugglers and nobles and dudes who do cool ass pilot shit.

Enforced rarity can eat my ENTIRE asshole.

@Auspice Looking through Ares stuff, I'm probably going to use it. I may just skip a combat code entirely, even though I love my crunchy bits. For what I want in a code, it'd have to be built from the ground up, anyway. (multiple modes, separate giant robot stuff). It may just be easier to roll without one and then if I can ensla--convince someone to make something, go from there.

You know that I am Jaerith. I've apped another.

I've been playing FFXIV since 3.5, so 3 full xpacs ago. I cannot tell you how good the story is once it gets rolling. I have cried. A lot. There's also a lot of casual friendly stuff to do, minigames and sidequests and all that. Just be prepared. Glamour is the true endgame. You will get addicted.

I am going to be writing theme files and that kind of thing this weekend. I'm pretty much using Boom! Comics with some kamen rider stuff because I am a fanboy. I will say that OC ranger teams and Riders and villains will be a thing because I am too old to give a shit about almost anything but rule of cool as long as it fits the setting.

@Ghost said in The All-New Down With OPP Thread:

IIRC this mostly happened to me on WoD games and on Superhero MUs.

I'm only recently getting into cape games. They are SO HORNY, holy shit.

Tempting. Especially since Norvegi seem available.

@SquirrelTalk Still plugging away off and on. Nothing big to speak of. Life is often in the way of writing time, plus my other MU* stuff and whatnot. It'll get there.

I don't play any WoD games right now, but as a player, I do not like required justifications. If I wanted to do pretendy fun time homework, I'd go play EVE and do spreadsheets for hours. To me, XP, and the progression it's used for, are player rewards, not character rewards.

You want me to grind my face off in RP to get that status or (oWoD) reknown? Fuck yes, I will meat grinder it. You want me to justify buying a dot in a skill? I'll just never spend xp and sit on it forever rather than having to do homework.

My point being: You want me to put in the work quote-unquote, I will hit those scenes and roleplay all of the goddamn strife and consequences there would ever be. I will not write an essay to spend my, the player's, reward for that roleplay.

I'm heartened by the interest, but life is a bitch and I haven't had a lot of writing time. I'd still like to do it. Just need to get off my butt. ... Which might be hard with FF7 Remake tomorrow. >_>

@fatefan I'm leaning towards 'Color doesn't matter, a wizard did it', because I would rather people have fun then be strict to canonicity and shit.

@greenflashlight That game already exists and has for, like, 20 years. It's awesome.
