@Arkandel This is how mush hacking should work:

@Roz Joffrey, for sure.

Halflife.

Just so someone could name it Halflife 3: Confirmed.

Hanging out with friends and shooting mooks for the most part. I've made lots of characters with deep intricate stories that I got bored with because I didn't mesh with other players on a particular mu, and others that climbed through the ranks and worked towards goals. If the atmosphere isn't fun, with people I like to chat with, I get bored quickly.

I wonder if a Wall Street game would be fun?

Everyone plays coked up stock brokers in either the 20s or 80s, gambling with a randomized stock market, dodging federal investigations and trying to scam their way to owning the world!!

Or something.

I recently saw Beasts of No Nation and it was pretty awesome.

Also that's the same answer as any other "why isn't <other, more powerful hero> dealing with <crisis another hero is struggling with>?". Why isn't the Flash defeating all of Oliver's enemies in the five minutes it'd take from his busy schedule to do so? Why isn't Iron Man smashing through SHIELD's super-powered enemies?

Suspension of disbelief is called for. They are busy with their own stuff, etc.

Well, given that Fort Rozz has Kryptonians in their ensemble, it begs the question a little more. But essentially, yes.

I think my suspension of disbelieve would be working if they weren't referencing Supes every third line or so.

Fair enough, I enjoyed the pilot enough to look at a couple more episodes before making any real judgement. I like the agents of shield vibe they have going on with the rest of the cast.

Do they explain why Superman isn't doing anything with the crashed prison at least? You'd think that's something he'd get on pretty quickly.

Supergirl made it out of the pilot and into its second episode intact and improved, for anyone interested. And Superman was name-dropped several times (hopefully they'll dial it back, but it was almost like they were letting us know they are allowed to say his name) as were Lois, Perry, and Clark Kent (separately from Superman, even! By people who don't know his secret!).

Plus, they aren't fucking around with their plot--it's moving at lightspeed, baby!

The name dropping was getting ridiculous in the pilot, like, be your own girl, Supergirl!

I think it would have been better if she was a welder or something instead of being a complete photocopy of Clark Kent.

Do/did you play in a tabletop game now or in the past? Yes

What games(s) do/did you play as tabletop? AD&D, Robotech/TMNT/Rifts, Palladium 1st ed, DnD 3, 3.5, pathfinder, Savage Worlds, Twilight 2013, Marvel Heroic, Dark Heresy, Starwars d6, d20, Saga, Edge of Empire, Warhammer 1st, second, third, Call of Cthulu, GURPS, Traveler and a few homebrews.

Are/were you the GM/ST/DM at your tabletop? Usually, but once in a while someone else will step up.

Would you tabletop if you had the opportunity? I rarely say no.

Do you have the opportunity but choose NOT to tabletop? The people I game with are becoming incredibly flaky with at least 1/3 of the group cancelling at the last minute every week, which is starting to make me think about putting mushing as a priority over table top. I know I'm through putting together campaigns for them.

Fantasy Flight makes fun games, but they're hell to clean up.

Yeah, I have an Edge of the Empire game in mind and would probably tie these tokens to obligation in some way.

If you're doing 5+ players, try Illuminati. It's a fun Steve Jackson game that was recently reprinted and it's a hoot. It's recommended for 4-8 players.

You guys play a lot of organization and faction based games, right? How do you handle organization resources? I was thinking of ideas for PCs to build an organization from the ground up where they could forgo material rewards for quests in order to earn vague tokens or something that they could give to an organization, then the organization could spend said tokens for specific quests to secure specific things like a home base/space ships/NPC mooks to hang out and sharpen knives with.

IE 3 PCs do a PrP that goes pretty well, and instead of getting piles of dosh, each chooses a Token (their donating paydata/loot to the organization or whatever), then when the org has, say 10 tokens, they can get together and clear out a base, buy a bacta tank with a droid, whatever as part of an organization quest.

Does this sound too grindy? I was hoping it would be a way to encourage PrPs rather than having people idle around.

The janitors cleaned off all the graffiti in the bathroom stall except for the preferred dicks size survey.

I think it should be matrix themed

Hey gang, I'm getting a new phone in the next few days and my old android 2.2 will be collecting dust. I was wondering if it'd be possible to host a mu on an old cell phone, since they're pretty powerful compared to old 90s era computers when mushes first took off.

Has anyone done this sort of thing?

Your install video should be place front and centre on your quickguide! It helped me get over the hump of not having all the right packages pre-installed before following the steps.

Anyways, now to start fucking around with it while I learn some python!

@Misadventure Well, you have your cadre of elite soldiers (the PCs) and they have a clear team goal to work for.

There are also shady Exalt troopers doing terrorist missions that you have to stop, and you can do fun undercover missions against Exalt to thwart their attempts to take over countries.

This is before we even get to bumping off big headed aliens and capturing flying saucers. There's lots of awesome RP that can happen around this, and the setting lends itself to PrPs--Bored? Grab 3 friends and shoot mutoids in the streets of Brussels!

I like how Continuum did it, and kind of how I imagine Dr. Doom would do it. There's a cult out there that is trying preserve their own specific idea of the ideal time line, and they have a technology to track down time travelers via methods. They then observe time travelers to make sure they don't do anything crazy, and have identified key figures that are important to their ideal time line and have a bunch of secret bodyguards for those figures.

Let's go kill hitler! HEY WHERE THE FUCK DID THAT BIONIC COMMANDO COME FROM!?
