RE: Make us love your favorite game
Vampire: the Requiem 2nd Edition Featuring the Strix Chonicles
This is, overall I feel, my current favorite RPG. Vampire is a game about human desire and inhuman ability. You don't play a human (unless you are playing a Ghoul, of course) but instead something simultaneously so much more and so much less than human. A creature with all too human foibles, but strength, power, immortality. The Kindred represent the cool, romantic, and tragic. They are violent, they are sexy.
The types of stories you can tell in VtR2EftSC are numerous. From romantic melodrama to political intrigue, visceral horror to unmitigated, savage violence.
The simplicity of the 5 Clans gives you 5 different aspects of the modern vampire legend. Beautiful, Savage, Secretive, Scary, and or Regal. Kindred start as humans cursed with undeath, which offers a freedom of story development. No vampire is the same, and yet they are all familiar.
I may just be rambling at this point, but tl;dr Vampire is legit.

Why would I read the thread? Has anything posted in the history of MSB ever been worth reading?
Who are you, again?

Anywhere for Requiem 2E?
I am looking for a place where I can sink my fangs into some Vampire the Requiem goodness, but I am a picky bitch so these are my real deal breakers.
- Gotta be 2E
- Minimal house rule craziness
- Preferably no bloodlines
- Not run by a douchebag
I know, I am asking a lot. A LOT. But hey, I like Vampire as it is written

RE: Seeking Women for Multi-Game Harem
When people see traffic ITT, they need to know it is because I am irresistible, not that I had drama.
Nobody wants drama in their harem.

RE: Staff and ethics
I always try and imagine a game is like my table. So I will do my best to have a pleasant, amused relationship with my players. I will crack jokes and make fun but I also take no shit. I don't like to lie or mislead players but I kinda don't take MUing that damn seriously.

@Coin said:
You can't advertise for a harem, man. You have to be sneaky about it. Collect them like trading cards and then hope they don't freak out when you try to get them to TS with you in the same scene together.
You're fucking with tradition, here.
Who is tradition? Is she hot?

RE: What game system would you prefer for a big-tent nWoD project?
Chronicles of Darkness is a superior system to nWoD 1 in all ways, in what it is designed to do - be an amazing system for a group of players and an ST. It is not at all designed with a MU in mind.

Trinity Continuum Chat
I've mentioned it to a few friends and I am finally writing out my thoughts for why I think this system is great, and may even be suitable for a MU.
The system, created from the ground up by Onyx Path, is called, StoryPath, and shows the combination of decades of use. It is shared among the Trinity Continuum, Scion 2nd Edition, They Came From Beneath the Sea and Dystopia Rising: Evolutuion.
1 - Simple core mechanics. Skill+Attribute dice pool, static (for each character) target number. If you succeed, you get to add Enhancements (aka perks from any gear, powers, etc) to your total success. You need success > difficulty. If there are complications, successes >difficulty but <difficulty+complications means you succeeded, but there is a negative consequence!
2 - Designed for flexible, cinematic gameplay. The core rulebook has rules for Physical, Mental, and Social play. (And super science). Characters of all 3 are viable
3 - Has a lot of White Wolf/Onyx Path DNA. d10s. Conditions. Aspirations. 1-5 attributes and skills.
4 - Extremely scaleable. Ingeniously allows for characters of massively different power levels to function within the same dice framework. Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent would have comparable dice pools for a feat of strength, but both have exceedingly different outcomes
5 - Allows for competent characters designed to succeed...
6 - But rewards failure in a way to move plots forward
7 - Default Setting is modern day high action spy/thriller/military/sci-fi
8 - First full setting is Aeon: in 2123, Humanity has spread amongst the solar system and beyond, made contact with aliens, and has recently unlocked the potential of Psionic power, while recovering from a dark 21st century war with Quantum Powered fallen Hero-GodsThe biggest downside to using this in a persistent MU style game is that there is an out of character currency known as Momentum, which is designed to be based upon and shared among the players at the table.
