"Meanwhile, we are releasing the Advance PDF of Promethean: the Created Second Edition this Wednesday! Dead parts that are now alive and all that"

I found this sweet barbershop while out doing field work today.

I don't know what everyone else's definition of sandbox is, but, to me, from a design standpoint (and I was there for at least, like, 20% of the design process), BITN was designed to be a venue for telling horror stories. I've worked on games that aimed to provided a simple sandbox (RenoMUSH being a prime example). BITN was not that.

Staffers, myself, Inf, Amora, Elysia and more were dedicated to running stories when we could. We had, at some point, ST rewards that were so obscenely generous they pissed people off.

And yet, there was never enough. And so interest faded.

I think I hate MUers.

BITN will be going offline permanently on August 1. You have until that time to back up any work you want saved from the game or your Wiki.

If it is tied to Mentor, then being in an order may qualify at least a little.

"Your character’s position affords her certain access to her Caucus
or Consilium’s stores. She can access Artifacts, Imbued Items, men-
tors, libraries, Grimoires, and other magical resources. The Storyteller
should assign an Availability rating to the item your character seeks,
related to the power level or regular Merit rating. Consider your
character’s Status dots as Resources for the purpose of procuring
these magical resources (see Acquiring Services, p. 228). Availability
ratings assume the service or Merit will be assigned on a temporary
basis (for a single story); add •• for permanent requisitions. The
group assumes she’ll return it when done with it, or make amends if
it’s destroyed or lost. Merits suitable for requisition include Alternate
Identity, Retainer, Imbued Item, Artifact, Grimoire, Mentor, Hallow,
Sanctum, Library, Advanced Library, Safe Place, Familiar, and Re-
sources, all with Availability equal to their dot rating. The Storyteller
decides if your character’s group has access to a particular magical
resource; rank doesn’t summon magical storehouses into being."

One small correction, you don't actually add the skill, you gain bonus dice equal to the skill. Which means if you have some effect that makes your roll of a skill of again or something, it doesn't apply.

Because this is a valid but digressed topic, can we get a split for Law and Order: Mush Crime Division?

Stranger things is so CofD/WoD it is awesome. A definite watch for players of BITN.

Nobody gonna mention Glee? Just me, ok.

Just this last month my girlfriend introduced me to She Wants Revenge and they were in town last night so I saw them live.

She Wants Revenge is great. I only actually ever listened to their first album, though. I have it on my rotation on my phone now, though.

This was the 10th anniversary tour for said album.

My favorite local strip club... is a gym.

@Goldfish said in Fallen World MUX!:

If spellcasting didn't confuse the fuck outta me, I'd be more excited. I'm still in. Just...um...gonna need some handholding. Sorry. (Not sorry)

First you form an Imago...

Well so much for any new games for a while.

@Caryatid Are you going full on 2nd edition? Please say yes.
