@justanothername Imma have to stop by and say hello, then!

@justanothername yessssssssssss what are you up to these days? Ironically, Damian is now Robin on that game.

@justanothername Robin from which game? The one Damian spit on? The one from HeroMux? Either way, lets rp

@darksabrz Hey dude. I've run quite a few events and plots over the years at several superhero games (Universe Unlimited, HeroMux, CoMux). I think my stories used to be a lot better, to be honest, mostly because I did fewer of them and I put lots and lots of time into thinking them up. That being said, I'll share with you what I shared with others.

-The number one piece of advice I can give is to make sure you think out your 'theme' and make sure you develop your piece of humanity. Whether it's Star Wars, Transformers, or some Furry mux, the reason people like stories (in any form) is because they say something human about our world. You need to find out what you want to say and build your story around that idea.

• You have a limited time to keep people's interest. Past three hours, people start watching tv, getting into other scenes, or watching television. When people start doing that, their poses take longer. When their poses take longer, then everyone else gets bored, and a good story can spoil pretty quickly. To combat this, I allow people 8-10 minutes in between poses.

• Because Muxers are a notoriously fickle lot, I always set my scenes up as making sure that I don't require any single player to make sure the scene can happen. Chances are, if you need someone really badly, their car will explode on the way home from getting dinner.

• The illusion of danger is really important. I don't play any games with stats, so this is only for comic games, but that particular subset of players absolutely hates anything bad happening to their character ever. What I tend to do is to harp on the illusion of danger more than actual danger.

I'm not sure that any of this will be helpful, but if you have something you want to talk out, feel free to hit me up via chat and you can bounce some ideas off me. I could literally talk about this any day, all day, every day.

@Apu I only really play CoMux anymore. I was on Star Wars Omens and that was fun, but short lived.

@VaultDweller Pretty much every Comic Mush is filled with paranoia.

I don't think that's what you mean, though.

@VaultDweller said:

Rubber Duck Superman, @tangent ? Heh. A guy shares once that he's a collector...

But no, Tangent played him before swapping for the Bat cape. I'm Mr. "Swole". I'll admit it. And the other was a horribly-written, total Gary-Stu MAYAN Demigod Tattoo Artist. Gotta keep it real.

Crap....I forgot it was Mayan. My bad ._. Either way, those chars were awesome.

@VaultDweller Vault, you the man. Rubber Ducky's and all. Where are you playing at these days?

@Admiral I got wealthy zero times.

@Admiral I don't blame you. At all. Who were you?

LaXers are assholes.

Till the day we die.

@tragedyjones I honestly can't remember, but think it was probably Rubber Duck Superman who also played the Aztec God bartender with the impossible name.

I love it when you RP with a handful of new folks, not knowing what to expect, and you riff each other like old timey New Orleans Jazz musicians

@Royal I should probably stop down voting all my posts if I ever wanna get that pony I have my eye on.

At the risk of sounding dumb, who cares if you get downvoted? Does that mean you don't get to level up or something?

Boo, we love you.

Come back to us.
