I don't like Pete that much but we'll see what we can do.

Who the hell don't like Pete?

Communists, robots, and Sonders.

All joking aside, we're hacking Promethean and looking at solutions for player engagement that doesn't require staff intervention. I am really really really on this Automation kick. One of the complaints I hear from Staff is the burnout from having to process and handstat applications (our CG as you know is very manual), along with the other weird ticky minutiae that comes with that.

Fallcoast was a pretty rushed job; I'm not proud of that but I was really trying to escape TR and all of the baggage that came with that. There were also some uh.. personality issues that I feel hampered its creation, along with 'Oh yeah, we'll totes get that done soon', and us not doing a good job of writing shit down.

We're hoping to apply a lot of things we've learned and automate things that Staff should never have to touch while building a pretty bitchin' story and framework. With that, I hope to produce one of the "better products" out there so don't write us off just yet.

I came to this thread to vent because I'm disgusted at the victim blaming and rape apologize bullshit that we're hearing about every day. I truly fucking hate it and it saps my energy in a bad way. Can people stop being awful now?

We've cleaned up a ton of DB and wiki bloat. We had an ungodly amount of pointless backups taking up lots of space.

On the New Game front:

We're taking a more proactive approach this time and being transparent with the game creation process by getting players involved and our excitement level is off the charts. I am really interested in setting ideas especially; we're having a grand old time on the game right now brain storming on the Game Development channel.

I just want people to feel invested and like they helped to build something. Come join if you're intrigued; we're trying to poke our heads outside of the box and have fun.

Thanks for reading.

Out of curiosity, what are some of the better ideas? Are you still basing things in Miami or is that still up in the air?

We're still feeling Miami! We want mandatory high speed boat chases weekly. Also, for example we have an idea for players to be able to affect the grid by influencing it for die bonuses and minuses. Put a few of your drug dealers in the area and give your gridsquare +2 to buying Cocaine (this is a silly example but an example).

We're in some early brainstormy phases where we're figuring stuff out and taking notes. I know we want spooky and seedy. I want to do a pretty big theme with The Missing; I would love to have a huge missing persons issue in Miami.

Anyway I'm super shy about talking about my ideas here for some reason so I'm sorry if they seem vague or dorky~

All I want for Christmas is a lovely goon squad of pastel suited, sunglassified and coked and/or otherwise drugged to their gills Cheiron people to roll into town with. Effiepper will have a fantastic time in Miami.

@Royal -- I found a perfect concept for you.

Best. Cheiron Group. Ever.

I also want to say that I disappeared for months because I might have a brain tumor. I was hoping to get a little bit of support and help, I didn’t come here to ask for anyone to do the work for us. We’re ready to collaborate.

I've noticed that the less time I've spent playing RP police, the more fun I have.

I LOVED PEPPER.

I'm going to be honest, I want to play WoD - but every single character page I look at is very special snowflake. Is this normal in WoD? The soundtracks turn me off. So emo. So nu-metal. Is there actually good RP on WoD?

Oh yeah, by the way - I have never played a WoD game but I know some stuff...

The only answer is to come and make the music pool suck less.

I love giving people +reccs and badges.

Hi Amanda!

This is a fantastic idea!

Add elements of that newfangled Valerian movie or whatever the hell it's called. I LOVE SCIFI. Scifi games sound amazing.

@Kay Are you on Fallcoast? I can tell him you're looking for him.

I need a Fallout game like yesterday.

I'd play on that shit.

The job I'm leaving is firing 30+ year veterans of the company and walking them out. It's awful and sad and I can't deal with it.

Two more days.

I would like to see Shifter oWoD v20. But with a focus on the 'lesser' breeds, such as Corax, Nuwisha, Ratkin and Kitsune. Also the Camazotz. Plzkthx.

And ex and I wrote half a Breedbook for the Camazotz. We had weird Auspices based on how the character was born (by Caesarean, breech, etc.). We also changed up their duty a little bit and made them the emissaries of Gaia to the Underworld (because Camazotz). So they had a lot of Merits and Gifts and Rites that related to the Underworld and Wraiths. I still have all of it on my computer.

Someone make a Camazotz game plz.

Your game looks really really really cool and I dig the premise.
