While I like the linking, I like little else about it. I have no idea what I'm going to do over the next 30 days. My RP is organic and basedon who he meets. It also sounds like it was a canon game and bleh. Why act out what's already been written?
But as far as traits go, sure. Redoing them over and over is a waste of time. BG though is likely to be different in a non-canon game.
@Admiral Ask Glitch to increase your font size. Works wonderfully. Anyone who's squinting should ask.
Superhero games generally don't use dice. But how fast you type is also not a factor unless you take a half hour to pose every time.
I haven't played on an SF game in a very long time. I'd definitely try it out so you've got one more potential player if you do open.

You also have to be pro-active. If a faction group like the one @Derp mentions says it's taking new members, talk to them about it. Don't wait for them to come to you.
Don't even wait for them to say it's taking new members. Page one of them and ask.

A side note: I'd freaking love to get more RP on eldritch. I'd play with anyone.
Page Jared. I play with lots of people. Though this also means I'm also often in a scene with someone or have something lined up for later that means I shouldn't start something.
Looking over the wiki, I was kind of getting Heroes Dreams vibes. Admittedly, it was very cursory and I could easily be wrong.
Superhero teams.
Just about every game, every genre, has something that will spite characters into smaller groups that tend to play together. It only becomes a clique when they actively exclude anyone else from joining.
Thread of Deepest Black by Finn Marlowe.
It's gay BDSM paranormal romance with the two protagonists (or the protagonist and the antagonist - it's complicated) being werewolves. The world is actually pretty damn interesting. I wish the author would write more of them. Could even skip the porn.

I am asserting - and there's no way for me to prove it other than empirical evidence so I can only push the idea that far, but I find it far from hard to defend otherwise - the majority of players don't care about the mechanics they're using, they care about the game's themes, roleplay being available, their friends being around.
I always used to say I don't give a damn what the mechanics are if it's a theme I want to play. And then FATE came along and made a liar out of me.
Now someone needs to explain why.
So @Glitch figured out how to increase the font size of posts (and only posts so it doesn't affect the reply window or anything else) for a specific user no matter what skin is used. This makes threads easily readable which was my main issue with this upgrade. Thanks @Glitch, I appreciate it.
I didn't post here because the font size of the skin is not a bug or a color issue. But if you'd like to play with making a skin's font larger, Readable seems like the obvious one though I'm using slate at the moment. The font is slightly smaller but the lighter text on the darker background is easier on the eyes than the reverse so it's a trade off between that and size.
Ctrl mousewheel up screws up the reply box but maybe shrinking things wouldn't affect anything.. No idea.

Ctrl + mouse wheel, it's not exactly a big deal. Then, if you're using Chrome, it remembers the setting for that domain.
Which is what I used for the last version. But in this version, it makes the reply window take up the entire screen which makes it impossible to see the post you're replying to or scroll through the thread.
Still hate it. It's not that something I liked was suddenly changed either. I hated the old version too. This software is horrible. But unfortunately, this is the only WORA lite in town so I lived with it. Now I hate it even more because it's that much harder to read. So yeah, it sucks.
I've had that happen too. It usually resets itself when I go back to the unread thread page after reading the first one.

Such as bad gateways showing up for no reason
Ever since the upgrade, I'm getting bad gateway errors many times a day. I wasn't before the upgrade.
@Bobotron Not a clue. Wikis, forums, and the like are not my thing. All I know is their webpage states:
A better forum platform for the modern web.
If this is the modern web, we're backsliding.
Agreed. The entire look is horrible. The design sucks. It's not at all user friendly or intuitive. Be nice to migrate the database to some decent forum software. But since I have no idea how that's done, I can't even offer to do it.
Why? Anyone can post anything right now in whatever category fits it. Why sectionalize things further? Just because we can?
