Constantly ghosting the high holy fuck out of everyone the second my rabid meerkat attention span shifted to a new game, hobby or unexplainable burnout.
Too many good friends casually cast aside over the years to count. Sorry, y'all. I'm better now... but not by much.
The same thing all Internet points are for. Forum bragging rights and online mating rituals.

@Ganymede I can't talk for anyone else, but for me it wasn't being LS, it was the assumption ES would have stuff happening all the time so I didn't wanna bug.
Attractive Person Effect. Surely they already have a significant other! I shouldn't bother asking...
Same with great role players. They're awesome! Surely they are waiting for a scene to start, so I shouldn't bother asking. When in reality? They're staring at the OOC room chatter.
Fuck it. True World of Darkness.
Humanity has fallen. Only the monsters remain. Mortals are cattle, pets and short lived revolutionaries. Vampires rule the ashes of a half scorched earth. Werewolves reclaimed the wild places. Mages flit in and out of reality. Some on purpose.
You know, Detroit By Night.
Edit: Also Taco Bell won the Franchise Wars.
I like how this is completely devolved into ninja chaos. Who is Vuk who even cares anymore? NINJAS!

In search of someone interested in running the mage Sphere.
Whoever does, make sure they take a ton of notes and post them places, so if they drop off the map, their replacement knows the plan.
In fact, do this with everything.
This goes against the storied tradition of not leaving shit but half explained NPCs and an unfinished mystery disease story that makes the connected Mortal+ splat feel briefly important.
Pretty much back at it again.

@Faceless I’m going to cause a rough patch in my life just for this to get me through it.
As it should.
I like what @Arkandel 's playlist has become. This amuses me greatly.
I chose this name because I'm a classy dude.
Been using it for ages. You know, because that's how long I've been this regal and respectable.
@Jennkryst At the risk of derailing the thread(part of me wants to make a 'too soon' quip), my experience with Antagonist PCs generally leads to one thing:
Holy Shit Sphere Implosion.
That or an even worse flavor of Super Friends. You -are- often playing a monster in the first place. The Antagonists are intended to be so evil that even the monsters are disturbed. Without that? Hell, might as well put on capes and start a secret handshake with your fellow super friends.
All this, of course, depends on how the atmosphere is toward straight up killin' a bad guy. All this assuming they even survived the Facebook-Twitter war of 2073.
Not going to sit here and act like I wouldn't do unspeakable things for an Elder Scrolls game.
@rucket said in General Video Game Thread:
So been playing the Spider-Man game on PS4 and it's real good. Combat is fast, moving around Manhattan is cool, and the story stuff seems interesting, at least for someone who has a cursory knowledge of Spider-Man stuff. The one down side is some of the side content is downright repetitive, so I do kind of give it a few knocks against it for that.
To combat the repetitive side missions, I've been trying a different tactic.
I get really, really stoned.
Joke(kind of) aside, I'm loving this game. Web swinging around NYC is always fun. Relaxing like a zen garden. With punching and witty dialogue.
Edit: the fuck is a smart garden?
Just a curiousity. Doesn't seem like much is out there now but I know a few games are in development.
Anybody close to opening?
oWoD? 20th Edition? WoD? 2nd Edition?
What's being cooked up, folks?
D&D. DM said we would be using the current characters for the next high powered game. If we survived. Ominous. So we galavant about, my unethical Duelist having a ball.
Then we get the big mission. Go slay the dragon! Save the day! But here, take one of the King's personal air ships.
Cue the systematic murder of my own party, one by one as they made claims of wanting to be the captain.
Guess who was an air pirate on the next campaign.
I regret nothing.
Having just gotten a PS4, ya'll can find me at CoathangerDoOver.
I'm probably a bad person for that.
Can we not? I'm tired as fuuuuuuck of this conversation. Let's move on from this 'Mage is OP' thing early, shall we?
Territories. That right there is what brought me to The Descent 1 and 2. @Ganymede hit it dead on. Give folks something to fight for, not against.
People dig building things and cross sphere alliances to improve turf/gain bonuses from said turf building?
Pretty neat.
Jackson Rio. The Reach.
I made the character with a fast blaze of glory in mind. Start fights. Be crude. Never under any circumstances have Defense to use. Sure, there was depth to the character but I had no idea it would survive long enough to see the light.
Years later, nothing killed him and he's held pretty much every Court position at one point or another. Had way too much fun, met great people and even sucker punched a horse. Good times.
Dawson Bryce. The Reach.
Made a broken soldier sort. Meant to be a Ghoul. Next thing I know, he's not crippled and now he's a Wizard. Brother to a horrible Vampire. Best friends with a Monkey God and a disgruntled, ultra burned out cop. So much drama ensued but it was all fun right up to the end. Then it went down hill. Fast. Great ride though and made me fall in love with Mage.
I've had a lot of characters but those two are the only ones I've tmteally put that much time into.
