@bobotron Full disclosure...
It is going to be minigame heavy. However, there is a global meta plot in place as well as plans for stories to be open.
The project was started out of passion for the theme and as a coding challenge for myself. So I am trying to mimic the minigames as well as allow for a roleplay environment.
As always YMMV, but it is my hope to find that happy medium.
It really comes down to staff policy and policing. They can be abused, but so can the dark flag. The realities can be set so staff can see every reality at one hit, which is what I normally do. That way I can see everyone in the room. I also make sure that OOC commands are cross-Reality, so when someone in say 'umbra' uses OOC, it announces to EVERY Reality. I have also been known to put a tag in the room "OOC NOTE: Players present in alternate Reality." without giving any details to protect the players. Sure they might be harmlessly Rping in the Umbra, Hedge, etc. But that way all players are aware there is the possibility they are being watched.
I'm curious is there any interest in the 20th Ed oWoD mush?
The running idea is that each city is separate, except on rare occasions when a global Event(TP/PRP) requires a cross over, and that's very limited.
Cartoon Action Hour RPG works great for this genre of games. It is built to run like an 80s cartoon.

During this season finale crossover, the werewolves will murderface the vampires, because they have had zero interaction with any of them, so they have built no trust and the mages will slip in and drain the caern of it's power and teleport out after putting up a giant 'werewolves are real, invest in silver today!' billboard.
Well, I mean, Vampires are of the Wyrm.
Back in the days of yore, it was something that we took very seriously. Staff was to code everything to keep the masquerade as secret as possible. But the trend toward openness has started -- we'll call it transparency. Is this something to even consider when starting a new project, or is it just something that is ok to break now-a-days. To some degree, I am in the camp of why bother with it anymore, but something, and I really don't know what, keeps me from just nuking it all together.
So what are the hive mind thoughts on this?

I was going more for nightmarishly convoluted, but we can go oppressive, too. Since you are obstructing PC agency to buy a plane ticket on their own and just fly from not-Dallas to not-New York.
Fair enough. But Most games, even without extra cities, that's not an option realistically, unless you do it via a Temporary RP room.

While I love the idea of the old school game and some big, iconic city locations, the forcible division of areas/spheres sounds... reeeeeally weird and probably like it's not going to work out great.
I can hope that's not the case, but if it is, it's not really a total loss. Sphere integration would be relatively painless, if that's what is desired by the Game Coordinators.
I'm using amazon web services and it's running about 3 bucks a month during the building phase and I have 4 games running on it at the moment (Yes Yes I know I just setup a new core to get game ideas out of my head.)
I am sure there will be plenty of people biting on this.

I'm in the process of recoding the SW game, and I was thinking about using the Cyberpunk 3.0 rules and modifying them for an Altered Carbon Style Cyberpunk game. Any interest?
Eclipse Phase would probably be a better fit for the setting (Altered Carbon)
