Farscape would have been entertaining as hell, I think. It had interesting factions, wasn't so heavy on the technobabble that can be an awkward deterrent, real threats, major weirdness, and all around a universe that seemed like it would be highly entertaining to engage with.
I always liked the old Foghorn Leghorn 'about as sharp as a sack of wet mice', and ye olde 'What color is the sky in your world?'
'...and, still, you're talking.'
'Oh, you were serious?'
@BobGoblin said in Which canon property/setting would be good for a MU* ?:
Then again it may be as simple as being firm in saying this game is narrative and meant to be it may not be everyone's cup of tea
^ This. More games really need a mission statement, where the basics are covered. If you intend for things to be PvE or PvP, cooperative or competitive OOC, narrative or code/system-heavy, etc. This is wiki main page material, or should be, right up at the very top.
And people need to read that and understand it applies to them.
Reno1 had one of these, and it was clear, concise, accurate, and damned good.
Then a notable number of people whined that it was precisely what it said on the tin. (To which I can only add another planting to the garden of facepalms at this point, though that was insufferably draining at the time.)
Floorspace.
This is not a thing someone can give, really, but it's #1 on my wish list. If anything, it means giving more crap in the house away, so I'm absurdly on board with this wish list item for all the reasons.
@Quibbler I would love that. Especially if it's one of those crowded little corner market type places that is perpetually grungy, they owner is always sitting behind a counter framed in bullet-proof 'glass' with the booze and the cigarettes and the register, and isoften the only light on on that street at all hours, save for maybe an after-hours club or similar.
@ninjakitten I'll have to see when the sun's back. 
Might be able to get the husband to take a few swatchy pics. We didn't do pics this time because my scalp is kinda joker green for the moment.
@Rook No lie, when I hear the argument about how it's unfair to put hooks in room descs as being 'denying access to story seeds to people who can't be bothered to read room descs', I am reduced to gibbering in Even Cant at the galling entitlement it entails. They have the same access as anyone else, and it's exclusively by their choice that they aren't choosing to use it.
@coin I did math at him until he relented.
The math that baffled and eluded him when I tried to describe it was abundantly clear inside 5 minutes.
It was that glaringly obvious. The 'more expensive option' will save us, default, a minimum of $1k/year, on prescriptions alone.
Even if we dedicate that $1k/year to a dental-only addition, we're ahead of where we would have been otherwise. 
"I would have <X>, but got caught in traffic," is an excuse that's just as legit IC if you really need to fish one out of the ether. Same with 'the long line at the post office' or any of the other mundane life shit most people have to deal with (whatever form that takes on any given game, there is always some life upkeep task or another). These things are overlooked a lot and are almost never RPed (which is fine, because in most cases oh, god, why would you), but that doesn't remove them from the pool of reasons to avoid any given thing. You may end up taking the hit for not doing the thing IC, or may have to give up doing that specific thing IC, but if you desperately want to avoid it OOC, look to the mundane complications of the world for an IC out, and you'll find a treasure trove of options.
@Paris is absolutely right here. See your doc.
I spent years 'oh, it's just an anxious stomach'-ing a problem that came within 4 hours of putting me in the ground -- and I still thought I was probably being ridiculous and melodramatic when I asked to go to the ER for it.
I was not being ridiculous and I should have gone before that. Long before that -- the only ridiculous thing going on was me telling myself I was being ridiculous.
Not a joke.
We may not know each other, @AeriaNyx, but I know enough to know I definitely don't want to see anything bad happen to you. Please see the doc. It is important. If it is impacting your life, it is important.
@Sunny I feel you on this. I love -- love love love -- some world-building, but the amount of info needed is not easy for something that doesn't have an RPG book handy that people can get and read through.
That said, most games involve at least one RPG book that someone has to get and read through. (Or a television series to watch, or a series of novels, etc.)
It is unlikely that even if you put down a lot of details and information on a wiki and MUX, it still isn't going to be as much as you'd find in your average RPG corebook. Even if most people skim and flip around, they usually end up reading about a third of it, and many read the whole thing. Others read multiple books.
If people can read for WoD or any other game system or setting, they can read for yours. The collective freakout over being asked to read detailed setting and game system information on a wiki -- especially if there is no corresponding media to watch or read necessary -- is just a little silly. (By which I mean it's a lot silly.)
Have summaries, with further detail people can delve into if they're interested and/or want or need more depth for their character (or for other characters they're interacting with when and if it becomes relevant), but the people who claim to be overwhelmed by unnecessary details are often enough the same people who have read -- at the very least -- the core WoD sourcebook from cover to cover before they play somewhere, and there's some bullshit to be called on that particular complaint for hypocrisy.
If somebody can read a corebook for an RPG, which most folks do, they can read a game wiki.
tl;dr: organize the info well, and anybody who complains there's too much information who has ever made a character on TR or FC with a zillion splatbooks required for reference gets an anime-style mallet to the skull, which will conveniently appear out of nowhere for this exact purpose.
@wretched My doc had me try Wellbutrin for a month.
Within a week it caused a migraine so brutal I could not get out of bed to even pee without my husband half-carrying me because I was straight up blind with the blurry and the 'if I even open my eyes a sliver the pain knocks my knees out from under me'.
Seconding the fuck that drug, and adding a 'with a nail-studded baseball bat, all ass, no lube'.
@Tat I don't see people picking up new and unfamiliar sourcebooks for MU, but I do see them do it with tabletop a fair bit.• It's pretty much the same thing -- just in MU form. Pick it up, skim through it, if it looks like garbage, don't bother with it.
It's the 'OH MY GOD THE WORLD WILL END IF I HAVE TO LEARN A NEW THING!' hand-wringing that's common (and super overwrought) on this generally accepted and normal practice that boggles the mind.
• (We are very lucky to have a local mom&pop gaming shop in the area that's been around FOREVER AND EVER, and they're big on carrying everything, even rare indie stuff -- so I will admit I may see more of this than is common experience.)
@arkandel While I am not even a little bit surprised by the findings there -- which are along the predictable 'money doesn't buy happiness' line -- I will say this: there sure isn't a dearth of miseries it can't make fuck all, partly, or at least some measure of the way off.
walk into them on the street, obliviously lost in your phone (or be just about to)
also tropey and cliche, but it still works: 'I think I'm being followed, pretend I know you?'
rather than sitting in the corner buried in a sketch that is so fascinating, look up from that awful sketch you were doing, grumble, rip it out, crumple it up, and toss it across the room (similar applies to 'slamming the laptop shut on writing just at that moment', etc. -- make it obvious the character is craving a distraction, vs. not wanting one)
@sincerely Those are incredible. I have nothing but awe and admiration for anyone who can do metalsmithing. 
I have never been that brave and OMFG that silver piece is especially stunning.
The blue aura quartz is natural quartz (usually), that goes through a process that fumes it with titanium to give it an 'aura' of iridescence. It's pretty neat. There's 'gold fuming' process with glass, too, that a lot of lampwork folk do that tends to get an iridescent peachy-pink, from what I recall. It basically uses heat to adhere a thin layer of titanium to the surface.
This is similar (but not the same) as some of the beads you'll see around -- they coat them in titanium, first, then heat anodize them. It creates a stronger iridescence in a variety of colors depending on the temperature, but it's not as stable (as the titanium layer is more likely to scratch away), while the fuming process (supposedly) creates a more intense chemical bond. It's pretty neat, actually. I have a single crystal like this I've been hoarding for years I picked up an age ago -- I asked them what it was and how they do it, so that's how I found out.
Am willing to just say 'you know what, fuck all that, let's just not stress it, because it isn't worth anybody's angst further' with two quick notes:
Dangit, you're supposed to lean on us for that kind of thing, that's what we're here for. Even when mad, a fuck is actually given.
Way less important, but still relevant: just so you know, whatever it was that went down on the game, I didn't even know until the post went up. Not kidding about that. I was not involved and thankfully TD was smart enough to keep me uninvolved, which I also appreciate. I had no clue until I asked if I was the 'campy' one. So that did not come from me -- and I wouldn't have done that.

Yeah, I love both versions.
That hat is a joy.
Sadly, it doesn't look like it would convert to magic loop well; I've been alternately stabbing myself in the hands porcupine wrestling and flopping cords all over the desk trying to learn socks. I empathize with the self-stabbing.
...this would be so much easier if my feet were not apparently mutant feet. 
(Speaking of which, someone convinced me I have to learn needle felting this year because it's essentially 'creative stabbing'. This sounds bizarre and wonderful.)
@bored I was just thinking, 'it's like they replaced all the pouches with Folger's Weaponry'.
@pyrephox said in Who are you?:
- I have sordid addictions to paranormal romance novels and cooking shows. If you managed to write a romance series about competing chefs in a fantasy world who fall in love, I would buy every copy.
My former mentor wrote a series fantasy novels about knitting witches. Alongside each novel, she'd write a book of patterns. She did well enough with it to produce companion audiobooks of them. If someone actually did what you're describing, and released a side-by-side recipe book people could opt to buy as a 'set', they would likely do pretty fucking well.
