My TT group uses Fate Accelerated modified a bit by Masters of Umdaar and we can make new characters in 5-10 minutes and be playing immediately after. I think it'd work fantastically for a MUX.

Why no Mortal Kombat MU?
With MK 11 arriving very soon I'm once again wondering why there has never been a pure Mortal Kombat MU? I think the setting is ripe for it, especially if you do it post Outworld invasion of Earth. You've got ninjas, cyborgs, cyborg ninjas, gods, lizardmen, and whatever the hell else. Just seems like a setting ripe for RP. Has it ever been attempted? Just curious what others think.

RE: Good or New Movies Review
Brightburn has been my first pleasant surprise of the summer. I knew I'd love Endgame, I knew I'd really enjoy Detective Pikachu, but I was unsure whether or not I'd think Brightburn was any good. Turns out, I very much enjoyed it. What sucks is that it's being released alongside Aladdin and a week before Godzilla so I'm sure it's going to get buried. I wish they had released it last year like they had planned or pushed it to Halloween of this year. Oh well, here's hoping it does well enough to warrant a sequel.

RE: WoD Games in the Works
I wouldn't say I'm "working" on anything but I did throw up a game using Thenocode on TinyMUX for my friends and I do to plots on. Takes place in Las Vegas and there are some things going on with the Police Department, we have a few people doing things at a college, and the primary plot is taking place in a small community that is about to experience a great deal of horror. We mostly play mortals but there is a very small amount of Vampire RP going on. We get together for major plots on Sunday and Tuesday nights(Eastern Time) and do general RP whenever in other times.
I wouldn't call us a game, really, or open but if people were looking to sandbox some stuff on a small place(Mortals and Vamps only though) I'd be open to letting other people in.

RE: Gray Harbor Discussion
Hmmm, Cobie Smulders has a new show coming out called Stumptown. This thread has made me think about it in an entirely new light now.

RE: Godzilla
Everyone I talk to who has seen it loves it. The people I've spoken to who haven't liked it are not fans of the genre so I'm not sure why they're investing time and energy into it at all.

RE: NPC Roster
We do this on the private WoD game I run/play on. Most players create a number of NPCs related to their PC that other players can check out or take on permanently. We think it works out wonderfully. It's added a ton of RP to the things we do.

RE: Empire State Heroes Mush
@Phase-Face To be clear I'm not saying a system is the only way to manage players. I'm saying it's the way I choose to manage players. Every game has to find their own way but once they settle on that method they have to be clear and consistent in that methods usage. Which seems to be the overall case with Empire State. At least from what I've read in this thread(I don't play there).
And most people on H&V were GREAT. Don't get me wrong there. My overall experience with H&V was really good. But, for a time, we were getting one of those players a day that tried to push things just a bit too far and would not listen to reason when we tried to tell them otherwise.

RE: Good or New Movies Review
@AeriaNyx I say this about more and more things but...I would have loved to seen it as a 10 episode series on Netflix or something. There's only so much one can fit into a movie, you know? You are right, there is a ton of stuff they could have explored that would have made the movie so much better. Like I said, I'd have loved to have seen it as a limited series somewhere.

RE: What Types of Games Would People Like To See?
I've never read Wheel of Time. I've always wanted to though. Might give it a shot this summer.
And yes! Discworld! That'd be a blast.

RE: Why no Mortal Kombat MU?
You might get some problem players focused on the whole "I'm gonna fatality you, hur hur hur!" but I think they have done such a great job with the setting and lore over the life of the game that death wouldn't be any more of a problem on an MK game than any other game. To me, it's really just a huge fascinating world just ripe to be explored and adventured in.

@ghost You know Wade Bogg's is still alive, right? Or is this an Always in Sunny thing...?

RE: What Types of Games Would People Like To See?
@faraday I could not agree more. In my eyes the only real failure I've had in a long time if H&V and I've explained why that failed. For the other games I spin up, most last 3-6 months and I have a blast on them. I have no regrets about the "micro-games" I bring up and eventually shut down. That said, the 80s horror game that I've been playing on with those 3-5 people is so much fun that we're actually working on fleshing it out, stabilizing it, and hopefully opening it.
@Ganymede I love collaborating and I've done so with several people on this board on games that I think have gone on to be quite successful! I'd love to work with you sometime to when we get a chance. If you ever have ideas or want to discuss things feel free to PM me.

RE: Getting Young Blood Into MU*'ing
I honestly never understood the mentality that "all players must be given equal opportunities regardless of the effort put into the game". God forbid a staffer get, like, an extra alt or access to something rare and unusual for the time and effort they put into a game. I once let staffers get first dibs on characters for all the work they put into a game and I was roasted to hell and back by some because of it. I get not letting "all the cool stuff" available only to staffers and their friends(which has happened) but the knee jerk reaction to staff or donors getting something special is extreme to me to say the least.

RE: Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.
All I'm gonna say is this and I truly mean it as respectfully as possible; concentration camp is a charged term. When people use it they know full well they are bringing images of Auschwitz to mind. And quite a few people actually do throw the word Nazi in there for good measure. That is disingenuine and does not help the cause at all. When called on it you can nitpick and say "WELL the encyclopedia says..." all you want but the fact remains; you're using a term to paint the picture you want not the picture of what actually is(which is horrific enough). I just do not believe in using the pain and suffering of one group as a crutch to get people to empathize with the pain and suffering that another group is going through now. Even if the term is technically correct it can be twisted and used against those trying to help. I've seen people just throw that phrase out like that's it, it ends the argument. Why? Because of the baggage that term brings with it.
Anyway, I don't know why I commented on this at all. I generally don't get into political or religious discussions for obvious reasons. I'll leave this thread by saying that what is happening at the border, from most reports, seems to be an affront to humanity and something needs to be done. Semantics about what it's called aside.

RE: What Types of Games Would People Like To See?
One thing I learned running Clone Wars MUX(which ran on TinyMUX and used the D20 Saga rules) was that people like seeing their gear. It's like an extension of their character. I think the thought is "If we're gonna use X system why aren't we using ALL of that system?" I initially had no intention of having gear or sheets for starships but ended up adding them due to incredibly popular demand. We did not see an increase in the +roll system at all after we added it. As I said, I think people just like seeing their gear/armor/weapons/ship stats.

RE: Spars and fights
Coming from a mostly comic MU background I've always just rolled with whatever. We'd either decide who would win and why ahead of time and work our way to that point or wait till we were deep in the fight and figure out who should win based on RP. It could get hairy when you're the hero and the villain doesn't want to get captured but, most of the time, we'd work things out. The important thing was that the end of the RP, regardless of who "won", both(or all) characters should have open avenues to future RP as a result of the scene.

BESM 4th Edition KS
I know we have some BESM fans here on the board so I thought I'd share this release about BESM 4th Edition.

RE: What Types of Games Would People Like To See?
I think this discussion has taken a weird turn where we seem to be talking about whether there are two factions of MUers? One who require RPGs and stats and those who do not? I could be wrong but that's how it's reading to me.
The actual initial statement in regards to the FFG plugin for Ares and my subsequent experience with Star Wars D20 wasn't that people needed a system it's that if you're going to use that system then people expect you to use all of that system, not just part of it. With the FFG plugin there is no gear plugin, which is why the people I know who were thinking of doing a Star Wars Ares game decided against using that plugin. With my Saga game, people came expecting that the Saga system would be fully represented and all I had was a basic +sheet and a +roll command. Which people would have still been fine with I think if push came to shove but there was still an overwhelming desire to see the rest of the system done out for them to enjoy.
I don't think in either situation it came down to these players would have only played at a game that used an RPG system. With my game I think almost all the players would have played on any well made Clone Wars game. It's just that since we were using a system they wanted ALL of the system represented if for no other reason than to see their shiny toys displayed in a +gear command.

RE: Trinity Continuum Chat
That sounds crazy awesome and I'd be more excited if it wasn't Onyx Path. They say 2021 but given their track record, we'll see it sometime in 2030.
