This was a fun game I played on Facebook and thought I'd bring it here since we now have inborn gif powers. Just hit the GIF button, type in your birth year, and select the first gif that pops up!

RE: What's missing in MUSHdom?
@Seraphim73 For me one of the great things about 5E is how easy it is to level up. There may be fewer options but that makes leveling up a breeze, quick and easy. And I personally did not feel like it it cost anything in terms of versatility or variance.
@ixokai The PDFs are out there...if you look. I don't want to post a pirate link but a simple google search will throw up a huge repository now-a-days. The good thing is they don't churn out the books like they use to. You get maybe 1 or 2 a year, which works GREAT for people like me who don't have the money to toss away on a ton of books a year.
I also think the system would translate fairly well to a MUX, which is something I've been slowly working on over the past year or so. Hoping to have something to test out very soon on that front.

RE: A new platform?
I know a lot of people who use Roll20. I use Discord for some stuff. Personally I still love the idea of everything being on a MU. I'm a big fan of AresMUSH as a possible next step in the evolution of MUing. It has some really great features.

RE: Coming Summer 2019
Nice. I'm a huge Stargate fan.
Also just read about this 5E Licensed Stargate RPG.

A Game of Thrones MUX Discussion
I know, another damn lords and ladies game. Before continuing I'll preface the rest by saying my wife has watched me MU for 20 years now and is suddenly showing an interest in trying it herself. She'd like to try a Game of Thrones game but those that are out there don't interest me and seem to intimidate her so I was thinking about doing either a private or semi-public game set in the GoT universe.
The game would use the A Song of Ice and Fire RPG by Green Ronin Games and it'd be set in a time period where the characters from the books/tv show wouldn't even be a thought. Before I got started setting stuff up though I thought I'd fish around with some questions about what some people might like to see in a game of this nature.
- Custom houses. I think this would be one of the biggest draws to a game, getting a few people together and creating your own house. The RPG has fantastic rules for this. Would people actually use such a system?
- Setting. The game needs to be political, sure, but it could be Big Political or Little Political. By Big Political I mean setting it in some place like King's Landing and allowing all types of characters from all over Westeros and beyond. By Little Political I mean setting it in one specific location (Casterly Rock, say) and focus on the politics of that region. This would obviously have an impact on what custom houses were available.
- Ready-made characters. Would having a +roster filled with characters that players could just do a small app for be worth investing time in? It seems to work on other places but I don't play on those places so I'm unsure.
- Sticking to canon. This is something I don't really care much about. I figure we start the game and not worry about if what we do would prevent the game from eventually leading into the books or whatever. Do what we want and have fun telling our story, not worry about the story that GRR Martin will eventually tell. Would this be a deal breaker for fans of the theme?
Anyway, just some thoughts and questions I had. Like I said, it may lead to either a private or semi-public game if there's any interest from people checking it out. I was just curious what, if anything, people might be looking for that may be missing from current games in the L&L/GoT niche. Thanks.

RE: A new platform?
I'm actually shocked by the lack of advertising avenues that are left in the MU world. I recently logged onto Gateway after not having been on for 3 or 4 months and found not 1 new game had been posted. It kind of made me sad. For me the only place I can even really think to advertise any more is here. I'm not sure how well used MudConnector is any more and I'm unsure how many people visit Gateway any more.

Whispers in the Dark - A Buffy MUX looking for help
I’m trying to take a measured approach to getting Whispers open but I cannot deny that additional help would be greatly appreciated. I know some people offered to help out in my initial thread but I thought I’d make an official post about what I’m working on, what is finished, and what remains to be done.
Code: I’m all set on code. I coded all of the systems and can code anything that we may need in the future. I have no need for any sort of code help at this time.
Building: This is the big one. I could really use some help building the grid. Based on feedback in the other thread I think this can be broken down into global rooms and hangouts. If there were people willing to take up the tasks of building the global grid (Sleepy Hollow itself) and various hangouts/RP spots that would move this along tremendously. I’m not looking for anything grand in either department. The global grid probably does not need to be more than 15-20 rooms and each hangout/rp spot likely only needs to be 1-3 rooms each. I’m also planning on utilizing a temporary room code so that players can add on as needed.
Plots: This will be more of an “after we open” sort of thing but I’d like to get some people on who are willing to run regular scenes for people. I’m a big supporter of player run plots and firmly believe that players should have the ability to motivate their own RP. As such I won’t be expecting much from my plot staff, if they can run 1 scene a week I’ll be happy.
Help Staff: Another “after we open” sort of thing but I’d love to have some people who can answer player questions regarding theme, the unisystem, or whatever.
Right now most of the code is done and I have a wiki set up at wikidot.com for things like theme information and information regarding the unisystem (everything needed to know is on the wiki in regards to the system). What I really need help with is in the building area.
If anyone is interested in helping out in any of the above areas just send me a PM and we’ll talk. Thanks!

RE: Good or New Movies Review
Finally saw Aquaman. All I can say is, wow! I thought it was fantastic. I think it's the first DC movie that can really hold it's own with the top tier Marvel movies. I could not have asked for much more from a comic book movie.

RE: Interest Check: Ancient Greek RP
@Bad-at-Lurking In the RPG that's limited to the gods. They can absorb the divine power of the fallen gods to increase their own power. Since most heroes possess a spark of that divine power it's hinted that it's possible they could too but the RPG avoids it to keep power levels fairly reasonable.

RE: Bad Moon Rising MUSH(Buffy FS3)
@Bad-at-Lurking That was my primary concern. The stats have limits(up to 8 I think?) so I was curious about how they handled stats that went beyond that. When I was toying around with using FS3 for a general urban fantasy game I was thinking about using the optional Advantage system and having things like Strength where each rank gave you a cumulative +2 modifier on strength rolls.

RE: Good TV
@aerianyx @Arkandel I adore The Orville but look at the creative cast listed in the credits; Seth Macfarlane(a huge TNG fan), Jon Favreau, and probably most importantly Brannon Braga(an executive producer from TNG). The show as destined to be great. I feel like it's a great mix of TNG, the first season of Battlestar Galactica(they deal with some heavy stuff sometimes), with just enough lighthearted comedy to keep things from becoming too grim. It is currently my favorite show on TV.

RE: Looking for G1 Transformers MU
@Jennkryst I'm not that familiar with Exalted to be honest. Not since first edition. Battletech could be cool though.
@fatefan My favorite games always used custom systems based on the tech specs. Beyond that, I'm honestly not sure what kind of system might work well for Transformers style combat. Not that that is simple, fast-paced, and easily implemented anyway.

RE: StargateMUSH
I guess that's my general problem, I feel I have "weird hours". I can be around for web stuff most any time. For in-person scenes my best times are Sunday nights, Mondays any time, and Tuesdays any time. Sundays during the day and Saturday may be spotty but doable.

RE: Back in my day....
I dunno, we did stupid shit when I was a kid(late 80's/early 90's). Jumping off bridges into the river, eating/drinking gross stuff, "surfing" on cars, bottle rocket wars, playing bloody knuckles, etc. Every generation has their bout of ignorant shit I think. The problem with this generation is that there is social media to make sure EVERY kid is aware of the latest dumb fuck thing to try.

RE: Interest Gauge: City of Mist Game
This thread got me to check out the City of Mist game. The more I read about it the more I dig it.

RE: The Woodward Agency
@krmbm As an honest criticism, as someone who lives in Maine, this actually takes me right out of it. Even more so than "cryptoids". The concept of a city large enough to support 1 million people in this state just asks too much from the concept of suspension of disbelief for me.
In my opinion, if you want to set a game in a city that can support a million people...set it in a state where it makes sense. That's just the singular opinion of a random dude on the internet though, so who cares?
