@Runescryer I hope you find what you need. All the best.

@ZombieGenesis

FS3Skills is a separate plugin from FS3Combat. Many games have used the skills system without automated combat. I continue to advise against option #1 because the game will not be properly balanced as previously discussed.

The RPG plugin lets you basically use raw dice and a text/PDF sheet to manually use any TTRPG, so that's an option.

Or, of course, find someone to code the real 7th Sea system in Ares.

I have pneumonia and I'm just going to be honest I do not have the energy to be chasing after this dingle berry this time, but my red flag is also going off on Arx RE: DWOPP.

Also, RE @Lithium. Funny enough, they were accused of being DWOPP on the previous MSB/Hogpit for the SAME TYPE OF BEHAVIOR as DWOPP . Probably why they are a little touchy /now/ or something. But. I'll say it again.

Not the same. Lithium was banned on 7/20/2018 from Arx, playing Barric and Cleo for "Had a tendency to be passive aggressive, guilt trip, or 'joke' in ways that made other players feel uncomfortable when turned down for RP or excluded in any way. Was warned a couple times about minor instances. When confronted about another instance and warned it could not happen again, ragequit."

Can 100% confirm that's pretty much to the point but with a distinctly rapey vibe that DWOPP didn't have.

There's also grapevine.haus and mudlistings.com.

Welcome to the future, ya'll!

Okay. I’ll start writing. Let’s PM.

@runescryer said in D20 for Ares?:

Just wondering if there's code developed to plug D20/3e/Pathfinder into Ares.

I made a pretty basic dice roller that can handle multiple kinds of polyhedrals and use comments on what's being rolled but is not set up currently to pull any kind of sheet stats because I honestly have no idea how to do that. If someone wanted to take that skeleton and run with it they're more than welcome to.

There's a game currently in the works that's bringing Pathfinder 2E into Ares.

That's the only one I know of.

You're welcome to check out Keys. While it does have a story, the pace is very relaxed and you get only as involved as you care to be. If that means slice of life nothing supernatural happens much around your character, that's fine.

One of the problems you run into running a mush is that players are often until after the issue has already exploded into something huge and even then they often just choose to silently leave instead.

Reasons can be varied. Maybe they don't want to be seen as needy, maybe they worry staff won't take them seriously or act against them. Either way if you want a healthy game culture you want things brought to you early so you can address them preemptively.

Player ombudsmen are helpful here because they can be seen as someone you can talk to without 'Bothering' the administrative staff and they can also offer to relay your issues anonymously. Player ombudsmen can also play the game in a more normal way and spot and relay issues in a way more empowered staff usually can't.

All in all I find them useful as a way to build trust between players and staff and more preemptively maintain good atmosphere.

Yes

@zombiegenesis said in Game System Tutoring?:

I've actually been working on a Savage Worlds plugin for Ares. Been tempted to try it out using Deadlands or an OC superhero setting.

Hey, me too, but I ended up switching over to Evennia for... reasons.

@Runescryer California is probably better. It's open to more plot ideas and character concepts.

I mean, if you just want the functionality, Ares literally has this out of the box. If you don't need a lot of system you can run a game from day 1.

@Mr-Johnson said in Building a new Supers Game:

It makes me properly sad to see that so many people have gotten so jaded and cynical over the years that a genuine statement of praise is seen to be something it's not.

It's not that I didn't think you were praising Runescryer & Co., it's that I disagree with the premise that games are inherently in competition with one another. But that's enough derailing for one day.

So like Terre d’ange exept no angels. We got fairies goblins and otherkin.

ETA I think of something like this was to occur it should be an original theme. Borrow from Carnival Row like the dark theme but create a different setting. I do like how the fairies are second class citizens.

*snrk*

What's the address to this mush?
