I still use it at work. It's been working fine after it came back up.

It's been a while but wanted to post another Update!

We are continually learning and adapting and ironing out kinks. After experimenting with some fun sandboxy themes were are excited to announce our next Plot-Driven theme which is set to officially start on October 29th.

Shadows Over New York will be a 1920s, fully powered setting. You can read the full timeline page here: https://elseverse.aresmush.com/wiki/timeline:earth-son

The big apple in the 1920's: a proliferation of illegal alcohol, smoke, jazz, and a certain lack of concern for the law. After all, the cops are in on it. The criminals are in on it. Hell, even the heroes ain't all saints in this City. Day by day, it only seems to get a little darker, a little weirder, and a little less safe for those who try to only walk in the light.

There's a well-known speakeasy for those of a certain nature, just a flight of steps down from a Manhattan subway entrance and a few blocks away from the Flatiron Building. They call it Limitless. A thing that will last no matter the change in the ever growing rush of the city.

It's for the heroes, the villains, the cops who steal and the cops who rise above, to put aside their allegiances - at least for a drink.

Yet as the City grows darker, those who live at its fringes, both the highest peaks and the lowest lows, must come together to navigate a new threat beyond day to day crime and conviction. They must fight the shadows that threaten to swallow the city whole, a horror that has no name, no known origin, but creeps insidiously as a rat along a pipe. It wants to swallow the City.

It's up to them to stop it. Or embrace it. One way or another, the City is never gonna be the same.

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to drop an update. Elseverse has officially been out of Alpha and in it’s Beta phase for nearly a month! Time flies.

We learned a lot with our first timeline (Steampunk) and have learned even more with our second, current timeline (Apocalypse). We are about halfway through Apocalypse and going strong with plenty of Marvel and DC slots open and a poll is up to decide our next theme.

This poll will end on 6/30 and the new theme will begin on August 1st, at which point Steampunk will completely phase out (for now!) and Apocalypse will transition into its Epilogue (Sandbox) phase.

Feel free to drop in and check us out!

@misadventure That is actually an interesting idea! That sparked an idea. And now I have a google doc going for this MU* that will never be xD

It's so niche and probably just me but I've always thought a game where the gimmick is that all characters are inspired by different songs would be fun. There would probably have to be an overarching plot or something maybe but yeah

@devrex Same xD. Concept is pretty cool honestly but definitely no time or energy to be making one

Honestly it sounds like Beast the Primordial because they are living nightmares essentially. But the mechanics are kinda eh so I'd figure out someway to pare them down or just use them as a basis for a homebrewed thing.

City of Mists could also be a starting point because from what I know of it, it's living legends and kind of superhero ish.

Gothic horror + OC Supers sounds like an interesting theme for sure though. Lots of opportunity for interesting storytelling.

Elseverse is an Elseworlds inspired game that asks, "What if?"

What if Superman never landed on Earth?
What if a zombie virus swept through a world populated by superhumans?
What if the heroes and villains we know existed in another time? Another place?

We're looking to see how familiar characters are adapted and changed by their surroundings. At Elseverse, you'll play a canon comic character from either the DC or Marvel universe and explore how they would exist in a world unlike their own. The game features different worlds that will cycle out to give players a chance to explore a variety of themes and settings while also exploring what defines their character.

We are just coming out of our Alpha with our full launch on June 1st, diving headfirst into our new timeline - a post-Apocalyptic one where the heroes' resolve are put to the test in a world where they have already lost the Earth to a tyrannical conqueror!

Players are encouraged to come check it out, ask questions, and claim characters!

@runescryer I recently had a character approved on Adventurers Not Wanted - https://anw.aresmush.com/

It might be something close to what you're looking for?

@tirit I'm not a programmer either at all but I'm pretty good at data entry. I'm not really sure how Evennia works but if you need help just getting stuff dumped into a database for chargen/equipment/what have you, I'd be happy to assist. I'd love to see a Shadowrun MUSH

While full integration is still quite a bit away, we do have an integrated d10 roller (with explosions) now that works for both client side and the web portal!

Obsidian Reverie is back with it’s newest iteration, Obsidian Reverie: Ascendency.

Obsidian Reverie: Ascendancy is a Chronicles of Darkness 2e AresMUSH chat game set in a futuristic, cyberpunk world. The main setting is ‘The City’, a sprawling Mega City that never sleeps. Do you thrive in the seedy Undertow? Do you strive to climb the ladder of the Megacorps to carve out a better life for yourself? Maybe you’re trying to undermine the Megacorps to punish them for past wrongs. Whatever your goal, your lot in life, there’s a spot for you here in The City.

We have utilized the Ascendency shard in VtR: Guide to the Night along with elements from Mirrors: Bleeding Edge and inspirations such as Shadowrun 5e and Altered Carbon to work on the setting.

Venues Offered:

• Demon
  *Deviant
  *Geist
  *Mortal/+
  *Purified - For ST purposes only, while Purified are a full template, we are including them with *Mortal/+
  *Vampire

We bought the smaller starter set and we've only played it once. It seems like a fun game - I think our issue personally is there's always other stuff going on. We keep saying we're going to designate a night to play...but then we don't xD

Truth!

@faraday is always so patient with me when I have issues the few servers I help tech support (especially that Discord Bot stuff!). No matter how many times I ask the same question too. She's the best.

Also Ares is a fantastic platform and it really makes the hobby a lot more user friendly, which means people are more open to giving it a try!

@vixanic said in What's the tea on Obsidian Reverie?:

@raeras
Holy cow man, Demon? As in Demon: The Descent and not a Fallen adaptation?

If so I admire your team's bravery there, that is not a game for the casual storyteller

Yeah xD. The most difficult part is the Cipher thing but we've got some ideas in mind for handling that

@tragedyjones

Oh, interesting to know! I'll have to take a look at it and see if it's something we can use

@tragedyjones

It's still 2e - inspired from the VtR Guide to the Night Setting Shard

ETA: We will be offering Vampire, Deviant (With Mortal/Hunter rolled in) , Demon, amd Geist

@tragedyjones

As the Tech Support for the place - we are slow atm because we are switching to a Cyberpunk Setting at the start of the year.
