    Have some Wingleader rosters up for grabs for some low-stakes responsibility/leadery PCs. With the impression age skewing older than Pern settings of olde, there’s a bit more room for maturity and politicking between Weyrs – which would be fun to see!

    My first sniff of text-based RP was back in 1996 when I nosed around chat rooms on mIRC. Stuff like Transformers, anime misc. … a real hodge-podge that makes me cringe and smile. Formed some great bonds with folks, some of whom have passed away over the years.

    First PennMUSH was in 2000/01 on Wing Commander: Red Horizon, followed by some Final Fantasy MU*s … again, lots of fond, warm memories but I wish I could cleanse my character lineup from those days with fire.

    I won’t spam beyond this… if any of this rings a bell to anyone, feel free to drop a DM.

    Seeing that it’s been nearly 30 years since I started this hobby, it’s time for me to take my back pill. c.c

    The most relevant piece of information here is probably the system you are pasting the data into rather than the fact that these are coming through email. Is this a cloud-based solution, or does your organization run it on premises? Is it one of the big ones or something nobody outside your org has probably ever heard of?

    @Warma-Sheen said in Missed Settings:

    There’s an actual RPG for this. I haven’t looked into it cause I’m in the middle of the series and I don’t want spoilers, but this was also on the top of my list for settings/games I’d love to play.

    Having just finished playing in a short run (6 games) of the Cosmere RPG (GMed by someone who regularly rereads the novels) with my tabletop group, I can say the following non-spoiler critique of the game:

    It really really requires you to have a very good working knowledge of the novels or you’re just going to be confused a lot. Our group had a wide range of familiarity with the Cosmere setting ranging from never read anything Sanderson has written to people that have read all of his books multiple times at this point, and the takeaway was that only the people with the most working knowledge of the setting actually enjoyed it the most. Most of us stumbled through the cultural aspects of the story and just chose to focus on finding and defeating the bad guys and the mechanics of combat rather than trying to be part of the world.

    (My knowledge of Cosmere is next to none, and I made a character that was super useful but mechanically monotonous.)

    @Testament But is the D&D related to the setting of Seven Nations?!
