RE: POLL: Vampire Requiem 2E Settings/Theme
I get that as well. I like the idea of c-gen tiers and alternate incentives (possibly in the forms of background dots or something; territory, cool retainers, or unique items).

RE: DC : Gods and Monsters MUX
Bizarrely you seem to be using the code from my DC: Rebirth game...
Edit: Actually it's the code as modified for an X-Men game I donated it to. Just jarring to log onto a different game and see it since I wasn't informed about it at all.

RE: Worst Movies
Okay, here's another awful movie: Bound to Vengeance. I watch a lot of awful horror and can make it through almost anything. Sometimes I'm rewarded by finding hidden gems like Deadtectives. Then there are the rare times I find a movie I just can't finish and this was one of them. They managed to make a revenge torture film boring and blew out even my suspension of disbelief for some things. Just an awful movie.

RE: Good TV
I'm in the same boat as some others with Discovery just not capturing my interest. When I heard there was a new Star Trek I was excited for Star Trek and to me that means mostly TNG followed by TOS and Voyager. What we got was closer to DS9. Which isn't bad but it's not my cup of tea. At least not right now. I wanted TNG-style Star Trek. Thankfully The Orville fills that need quite nicely. Unfortunately I only have so much time for TV so Discovery has been tossed by the wayside.
That said, back in the day Firefly wasn't my cup of tea either. A few years later I watched it and loved it. I'm assuming the same will be true of Discovery. One day in the future, perhaps once the series has wrapped and I can binge watch the whole thing, I may like it.
Then again I may not. I hate what they did to the Klingons. I hate it. It's not like when Gene Roddenberry updated them for TNG, then he was just doing what he would have liked to have done in TOS. This is Bryan Fuller (and I love Bryan Fuller for the most part) taking a Michael Bay sized dump on my favorite Star Trek species. It just doesn't sit well with me.

RE: Internet Attacks? Why?
@apu Oh man, that's a brilliant idea. My wife and I only stream occasionally but I think we'll still do that. Honestly, I'm more afraid of getting swatted and one of my dogs being shot than anything else. I'd be devastated if that happens.

RE: Coming soon: Lawless Space MUSH
@fatefan My unsolicited opinion? Do what you want, what you love, treat it with respect and care, and provide support for players who may not be familiar with it and players will come!

RE: Worst Movies
@Auspice It is a subscription service but it's one of the more reasonable subs; I think it's $4/month? It's the best $4/month I spend to be honest. They have a ton of old horror movies and are starting to get a lot of exclusives. Deadtectives, the upcoming Creepshow anthology show, and I think they have the exclusive streaming rights to NOS4A2 though I could be wrong on that one. And, as Surreality said, they do offer a 7 day free trial so you can hit and run pretty cleanly.

RE: Good TV
Hey, not everything is for everybody right? That's why I hesitate to call Discovery bad really, it's just not for me. I don't mind Seth McFarlane myself but I can certainly see how others might have an issue with his writing. I'm just glad both shows seem to be flourishing. The last time we had something like this (dark and gritty BSG up against Enterprise) Enterprise got destroyed and cancelled.

RE: Vampire Requiem 2nd Edition Bloodlines Question
@Ganymede What you've done is fantastic, thank you! And absolutely invest no more time in this. You've already done more than I could have asked and I thank you for that!

RE: Whispers in the Dark - A Buffy MUX looking for help
Okay, I think I've gone about as far as I can go on my own. If you're interested in stopping by and giving what I've got up a look then come on over. I just want anyone who does to keep a few things in mind...
1: I wouldn't even call the game beta ready. The code isn't as well tested as I'd like, I'm not happy with the grid (and there are no hangouts built yet), and the wiki isn't quite finished yet. So if any of that bothers you it would likely be best to avoid the game for the time being.
2: This is less of an "opening" and more of an open house. What I'd like is for some people to come over, give the place a look, test out c-gen, etc. and so on.
3: While I'm fine with people creating characters and even exploring a bit of RP if it helps test the waters and stuff just keep in mind that it will all likely get retconned when we do finally go live.That's really it. At this point I'm really looking for some external motivation and some thoughts on the direction that the game is going. I want to be sure I'm creating a place that people will want to play at. If you're up for helping in those areas then, please, stop by! I'm Captain Crunch on the game.

RE: Movies worth a watch.
Deadtectives - A great horror-comedy that I cannot recommend highly enough.

RE: Good or New Movies Review
I enjoyed The Force Awakens for what I felt it was supposed to be, a soft reboot of the franchise. A way for new people to enter without needing to have watched the older movies. I thought it paid tribute to the past while embracing the future.
My problem with The Last Jedi is I felt it discarded the past with a big middle finger.

RE: Social Systems
There are two systems that I like for their social systems. One is Savage Worlds, which I just love all around. It's quick, simple, and can be tailored however you need.
The second is the Song of Ice and FIre RPG. The intrigue system is fairly simple but still complex enough to give it some meat. It's very much a "social combat system". The SoIaF RPG is a great RPG all around but I especially love the intrigue system.

RE: Arx: A New House
I've been looking to try Arx out. This sounds like it may be a good way to do that.

RE: Anywhere for Requiem 2E?
@admiral Now that does sound fun. I also like the 1980's Los Angeles idea.

RE: Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.
@derp This is a peeve of mine because it's this line of thought that leads to people texting and driving. I've lost friends both to people who thought they could multitask and because of people who thought they could multitask like this.
And if I'm talking to someone who is looking at their phone instead of me? Yes, I do consider that rude.

RE: Social Systems
@wildbaboons I think most systems utilize some sort of "social combat" also give tools to ensure that something you absolutely do not want to happen doesn't happen. Let's say you're character is at a bar with the intent of socializing, leaving them open to being seduced by someone they may find attractive. You lose the rolls but just don't want your character to go THAT far...in WoD spend a willpower point, in Game of Thrones spend a destiny point, in Savage Worlds spend a benny, in Fate spend a fate point to redirect the outcome in some way. They resist at the very end, they get a phone call that calls them away, the other person gets a phone call, or whatever. Similar systems generally exist for combat after all. Struck with a death blow? Spend a benny to reduce it to just knocking you out.

RE: Non-WoD Horror Game (Buffy, Cthulhu, Etc)
To update the thread it looks like the game is happening. Unfortunately I have been sick the last few days so we've gained little traction but I have the next few days off of work with nothing to do but watch old Buffy eps and work on the game.
As for when we will be opening...that's a tougher question. The short answer is "when we're ready", which we are hoping is sooner rather than later. I'll keep people updated as we go, however.

RE: Pokemon?
I don't know of any such game but I think it's a neat idea. Especially if it had a simple dueling system in place. I'd love to see some sort of pseudo-competitive MU to be honest. Pokemon, Pro Wrestling, Spartacus (Gladiator combat), etc. I wanna talk smack, battle, and deal with the consequences! With Pokemon you also get to go hunting for little monsters and then raise them.
