    Hi! So, my attempt at recruiting strangers attending a panel discussion into making characters on a MUSH did not pan out so well. Somehow, writing it down in text like I did just now, it’s not so surprising.

    Regardless, we are left with this purpose-built newb-friendly MUSH, which we would like to invite folks to join. If you’ve got friends who might like an easy intro to the hobby, if you’ve got family who’s always wondered what you’re up to, if you’ve got spaces where you could share an easy intro:

    host: darcness.net port: 4209

    The premise of this game is that you are a person in cyberpunk Toronto c. 2056, where the streets are full of evil robots called Buffaloids, and you have to connect with other players in order to get the info you need in order to join the resistance. The game will last one more week.

  • Conversations and questions about current, upcoming, and advertised games and the hobby as a whole.

    Well that’s suspicious.

    But I’ll take this opportunity to pine for Vampire the Requiem once again. All the WoD games have returned to 20th Anniv. edition of everything.

    People are too invested in THE METAPLOT… which also sort of happened with Requiem/nWoD. ‘I am part of this bloodline, let me name-drop the person from the book instead of seeing if we should alter stuff for game setting’.

    Which, I mean, fair. I still think that the ideal WoD game should build out a wiki of the world as players submit new characters. If the game is in New York City, staff obviously have NYC history in mind. But do they know who is in charge in Philadelphia? The first character submitted from that area gets to canonize the lore from there, and then it gets integrated. Second player now has to deal with Philly being Carthian (because who else would riot in both celebration AND defeat?)

    That, or somehow be on LegallyDistinctEarthlikeLocation, as written in Trans-Ally Katherine Applegate’s second-greatest work, Everworld.

    Everyone is running 20th edition and ignoring V5’s metaplot entirely so I’m not convinced about anything to do with the metplot, harrumph harrumph.

    I just wannt play some Chronicles of Darkness, preferably Requiem but honestly I’d play any of 'em.

    @Gashlycrumb Also, chances are most of the people you (general not specific) have a problem with have a similar opinion of you so 1) Why would they care? 2) Why would they be surprised? People are allowed to avoid games because of Staff (whether your own issue or in support of someone else) so it seems hypocritical to not allow Staff the same option especially when they’re the one putting in the effort to run the game.

    We got word that kiddo’s parents appeal was denied. I am happy but also… so freaking sad. And mad? Like, how the hell can her parents not move mountains to get this amazing little girl (and her equally amazing siblings) back? She is my whole world right now. I love her beyond words. I can not wait to have her open to adopt so she know she will have a stable home for absolutely forever. I don’t care we still have times where she hits and kicks me. That is trauma and why we have family and individual therapy.

    I also found out I owe my sister-in-law. Husband comes from a dysfunctional family. His father was a casualty of the opioid epidemic, and they went through a ton because of it. He never believed he could be a father which led to his reluctance to start this process. She sat him down and said that he could have me and get on the boat of fostering, or I would find some other way without him. He got on board and now he and kiddo have the best bond. She adores him and they giggle and play.

    So peeve, that I’m still mad at parents, but also joy because I get to be in this girl’s life.

    Disclaimer: I haven’t tried any of these but a lot have a really cool premise, I think.
