My 0.02...
Just off the top of my head.
I go to the grocery store and buy stuff for lunch and bring it to work. I am lucky my job has two full kitchens with stoves and such, but I normally just bring in Sandwich meat, breads and cheeses. That way I can make them when I'm work, if I don't eat out. It works fairly well.
Other hacks I do, I do a lot of crockpot cooking. So I put the stuff together the night before and stick it in the fridge, then pull it out and set the crockpot timer and turn it on. Saves a lot of time for dinners.
@Ganymede So... what's the PK Stance of the game?
I am a Regulatory Specialist for a Electronic Medical Records company. When I joined the support team there were 4 people offering software support and ad-hoc training for over 1,000 doctor's offices and their staff. I was lucky if I got a week of training before being thrown into the fires. I am glad they did it that way, but I had to scramble those first few weeks. Now I am starting my own branch of the support team, dealing with Regulatory (Government Incentive Programs) and when the person that was supposed to be doing the development to keep our software up to date, quit, we found out NOTHING was being done at all. So the 6 months I've been trying to clean up their mess, coordinate with our development team to get the stuff designed, tested, and rolled out -- not to mention train our in house support team, sales team, implementation team and Account Management team on how to do regulatory stuff. But only in theory because our system doesn't support it yet. AND We have a dead line of 12/31 to get it supported or we lose our certifications and if we wait to long our clients can't correct their mistakes to try and make the measures for incentives.

Hello, My name is Seamus. I will admit that I was once known as Matrix @ Due Rewards/Guilded Promises. Please don't hate me.

Thank you for the recommendations so far!
I would strongly recommend you find a team of people and try to build your own game. There are a lot of resources out there. As you can see there is a small amount of games out there, so another wouldn't be entirely unwelcomed.
I've been thinking of taking a stab at this since no one seems to be interested in my sci-fi games
My current thought is a near-future superhero game based on the Tiny Supers RPG and set in the "Gallantverse" campaign setting. I'd use either AresMUSH or Evennia (most likely Evennia). The only thing holding me back is I am not sure how well a game not based on Marvel or DC would be received.
Once upon a time, I wanted to make a Super Hero game, which took the concept of what happened in Malibu comics, but on a global scale. One day something happened and people were given powers randomly. Now here is the game. I think you will find that any superhero game with a cohesive theme should be pretty good to go.
I know I ran a game based off X-Men: Evolution way back in the day... I think it hung around for about 2 years before I closed it down.
@gryphter I hear those terms too... Are you in Georgia?
Excellent. The trap is working. Fresh sacrifices for the hive mind. You are welcome, oh mighty hive mind.

@Seamus That also sounds similar to the basis of the Wild Cards setting, IIRC.
Yeah. It has a LOT in common. I had not been aware of WildCards at the time. I was basing it solely on the "Jumpstart" from Malibu comics. Which in the end had a Mystical Source, but still... I thought it would have been fun. I've also tinkered with a Code 8-esque setting, and The 4400-esque setting. I Just end up going, eh... and scrapping them.
@gryphter LOL. No. Her competitor. The Flower of Health.

(it has been a long term thought experiment between @GreenFlashlight and me to try to turn Mantra into a char that isn’t so weird and oogy)
Nice. I am a huge Spectral fan.
@gryphter We can attract them, we can keep them... I just believe we could do better with out the ones we have.. LOL
@auspice It is...
Capability listings
Skill listings
Egg, Tutor, TMs/HMs move lists
Pokedex listings, as we support Regional, Unified, Type-ish ones.
Resistances based on specific pokemon.
Alternate forms, Mega Evolutions.
Most of this is done. I am using a Homebrew game that merges aspects from systems I like. Though PTU for pokemon. I did not like how trainers could impact the battle by actively fighting in batyle. While I did keep this aspect, it has been toned down significantly.
And I am not going for a single region game. I am doing every region.
So what districts of San Fran would be the most desirable? I want to have a Chinatown to incorporate the Beast Courts., but beyond that I'm kind of open.
@auspice Right now the only regional variants are the Alolan ones. PTU levels all the pokemon regardless of region. However, there are ways to customize each pokemon via stats, capabilities. Abilities, edges and breeding.
So not all Bulbasaur are cookie cutter copies.
@Cobaltasaurus It's not CoD, I'm actually doing a 20th Edition WoD game. I'm going back to old school. While not being popular, I have a bit nostalgia for it. So I'm going with it.
