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.

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.

The AoL comments are completely fair. I think post Last Battle is fucking ripe for all kinds of shit. What do the Aes Sedai and Asha'man get up to now that Saidin is cleansed? What do the nobles of the world do? How do the everyday people get by now that everything is still in upheaval?

I'd play the shit out of this.

Ahem. Age. Of. Legends. Or post books. That way cool powers aren't gender locked, there's barely any information so you can literally do what you want. It just depends if you want to lean science fantasy or standard fantasy.

My only complaint so far is from the first episode. That bow Rand was using sure as shit was not a Two Rivers Longbow. I WAS ROBBED.

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.

@sunny For clarity, I'm not talking about people that are scared of getting vaccinations due to previous trauma or last history. I'm not talking about them.

What the fuck? That's a thing? Vaccine trauma? Fucking how the hell does that work? Not trying to discount experiences, but this literally makes no sense to me. It's like an alien language.

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

If you're into stories about shitty people being shitty: Behind the Bastards
If you're into current events and misery: More News and also Worst Year Ever

Those three have a lot of overlap in hosts, but Robert Evans is a fantastic journalist and funny dude.

Right wingers need not apply, because I don't want to hear how these things pissed you off. Not that I care, cause righties are pieces of shit, but,

There's not much to cope. I live in a shitty state with a shitty governor who never closed anything, and even if she did, by dint of gigantic technicality, my work is deemed essential. (I work in utility safety. Because utilities are essential, and my job is to certify their gear, ergo I am essential.)

I mean, at least I still have my job and can pay my bills. I do miss my LARPs and meeting for tabletop bullshit in person. Zoom isn't the same.

@Jennkryst The setting would work wonderfully. You'd just have to ... remechanic the whole thing.

Actually started work on my Boom! MMPR/Kamen Rider joint. Doing the hard part of learning python to do it in evennia first.

I think I hate myself.

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

Tempting. Especially since Norvegi seem available.

@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.

So I bummed around a lot and only, uh, today started throwing a document together. Here's a link, commentable and probably against my better judgement, editable. Read it, comment, feel free to add shit. Please no delete.

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. >_>

Reading the ESH wiki. Why is Mr. Sinister a banned character, beyond the fact that Nate Essex is a creepy fuck?

My another was stolen out from under me. I know one of you degenerates apped the pope Dominus.
