    Ascension Sojourns is a WOD 20th game accepting players for Mortal, Sorcerers, Psychics, Mage, Garou, Kinfolk, and Bygones.

    The political climate has cooled. Life has returned to a more peaceful time. For the moment the darkness as crept back into the shadows. But how long will that last?

    Plots are dynamic and ongoing. Staff is available and responsive. We are a small game that welcomes players of all experience levels. Starting Xp is awarded for interesting and needed concepts. Group applications will be entertained.

    Dad fell and broke his neck almost six months ago to the day (November 2). He’s alive but quadriplegic. As you might expect, my schedule has not been conducive to MU*ing (mostly because I can’t personally manage asynchronous play; otherwise I’d be at least waist-deep in Ares games).

    For those who haven’t RP’d in several years, what keeps you checking in/weighing in on the forum? I’m referring here to the forum parts specifically about MUSHing and RP, not the social/ooc parts like RL support, pets, books, dead people, etc.

    @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.

    Applications serve exactly one purpose: to make sure you and the character are a good fit for the game. The app process should be as short as functionally possible to meet that purpose. More complex themes will necessarily require a more involved application.

    That being said, I absolutely prefer a shorter application process and endorse doing the absolute bare minimum to get an app over the line. GET ON THE GRID and start playing.

    If your theme requires all players to spend multiple hours in chargen, you may want to consider whether your theme/mechanics can be streamlined or at least offering premade rosters who don’t require much time to get started with. Applying is not playing, and a long application process usually means more staff work as well, and a nonzero population will apply and then never play. It’s worth making this as painless as you can for everyone involved.

    @dvoraen said in General Video Game Thread:

    Does anyone else increasingly feel like you have no time ever for recreation? Here’s an idea of my backlog, assuming I did full completions including postgame:

    finish Octopath Traveler I - 20h? (Postgame quests and bosses) Octopath Traveler II - 120h? Dragon Quest I-III (HD-2D) - 200h? <- hard to judge; probably higher Dragon Quest VII Reimagined - 150h? <- estimate due to 200h on DQXI Horizon: Forbidden West - 70h? God of War: Ragnarok - 70h?

    Now let’s add in stuff just released or soon to launch that will undoubtedly consume focus!

    Windrose (EA launch) - > 50h easily I’m sure; depends on content. Soulmask (1.0) - > 100h if I commit to it

    I’m doomed. 😭

    Yes, I feel this way.

    I beat DQ1-3 but I need to finish Octopath Zero and DQ7.

    It also doesn’t help that I spend about 3-4 hours a day painting now lol.
