A friend finally got out of an abusive relationship. And not just got out off, but made it so the guy lost his medical license, his job, and had to move out of state and won't ever come back. Woo for karma finally coming in.

When you log in to an old MU to scavenge a character desc and find that the character's desc is from a Halloween party with them dressed as Super Grover

I was in the grocery store today and Sweet Caroline start playing on the Muzak system. while moving through the aisles I heard at least three people singing along. the two older women were somewhat expected but amusing. the college dude bro really getting into it to the horror of his companion was the highlight though.

@shangdi if you made the code available as a plug-in I bet some other Ares 2e games would pop up

First actual PC made it through chargen and the game didn't explode or catch fire.

It's the little victories. Progresssss

and repeated studies have shown that no, us millennials are not better at multitasking. We just think we are.

So this isn't too far off

I for one Welcome our new Cardian Platinum Jadriel Abyssal overlords.

One of my favorites is bacon, chicken and pineapple

@Derp said in PB 'realism':

fucking chibi.

I just looked in a mirror and freehanded a self portrait

My previous post turned me into a liar. The other game isn't sharing any of the code.

However!

Thanks to Faraday with Ares and Tat with Spirit Lake magic I'm giving this a whirl.

Still need to do some tweaking, but chargen seems to be functional.

Need to build more than a 3 room grid and do a bunch of wiki work but people can come by if they want. Maybe even lend a hand.

Height: 6'2"
Desc: Somewhat on the short side....

I'm guessing it was someone that set the height and then forgot about it while doing the desc but I found it amusing anyways.

@ZombieGenesis said in A fully OC supers MU:

I think you should make the game YOU want to play the way that YOU want to play it

I think this is really important. There are pros and cons to stated and not, and while the Trait system that most comic games seem to use attracts a certain crowd, a stat system will likely attract a different crowd. Especially in an OC only game that will draw in a slightly different crowd than the standard super hero game anyways.

Just because a local place has a pizza oven doesn't mean their stuff is any good.

@apos said in Coming Soon: Arx, After the Reckoning:

(trying to seed things on lower characters and let it flow up) than top down, since I think the characters in positions of power tend to naturally get involved regardless.

Please. Top down is not very effective. It stays at the top.

I think 5-10 players may be a low estimate

Thanks to everyone being stuck at home I get to do my first D&D game in 20 years.. with most of the members of the group of friends I played with back in middle and high school. We are spread out from now from eastern Asia to the midwest, but we all actually have time now to sync up and give it a try.

@packrat said in Game Design: Avoiding Min-Maxing:

One oWoD game took it to weird extremes and dictated how tall/buff you could describe yourself being based on your Strength

I wish more places did something like that just to avoid the 5', 90 lbs people running around with 5 strength and wielding greatswords. (without some supernatural muscly strength thingy happening)
