  • RE: City of Glass: CoD on Ares

    tis not, alas. At least not in the state that I would like it to be. I’ve been studying for boards, moved to a new city, and recently got a new job, my partner lost their job, then got another job – anyhow, my time has been abysmal in terms of hobbies. I had to shut down the droplets that I was using to save money, though I have the backups for them and intend to get back into it once things settle.

    Though I dunno, maybe it would be usable. Someone got my old evennia Cyberpunk code working and is (or at least was last I checked many months ago) running a game set in Night City in 2077, so anything is possible with the indomitable human spirit

  • RE: Below Gray Skies

    I’m still going through the approval process here but I thought it was nice that the initial feedback I got was helpful.

    I’m familiar with COFD but not Deviant itself so it was appreciated that I got ‘hey things mostly check out but this needs to be changed and here’s some suggestions’ rather than ‘shit’s wrong, fix it’, which is the response I’ve gotten from some games semi-recently.

    @Testament I generally am unaffected by celebrity deaths—

    But I grew up watching TNG with my father. Patrick Stewart’s passing has made me depressed.

  • Below Gray Skies

    disclaimer: still brainstorming a character, but I figured there should be a gab thread for the game and, waaay more importantly, I woke up this morning with the revelation that, using the already existing approved rules (Automaton Form, etc) you could easily adapt and play the titular characters from Heat Vision and Jack.

    this is…amazing. discuss.

    Sir Patrick Stewart

    A part of me died on Friday. Such a big part of my childhood losing your TV dad.

    BTW, not all the Boroughs are in - just the central ones, and Haringey and Waltham Forest and maybe one or two more by now. It expands, with reason.

    I stand corrected! 😄

    you can just pull up Google Maps and navigate that way

    Does it go for full realism and have endless waiting on the Jubilee line for no discernible reason, and the minute you decide, "fuck it, I’m only going three stops; I can walk’ you realise the Underground map and the real people map are nowhere near as 1:1 as you were hoping?

  • RE: TowersMUX

    Seconding almost everything @deviant said. It’s a great game that just needs more people.

    I think they may not have a map as such because you can just pull up Google Maps and navigate that way. BTW, not all the Boroughs are in - just the central ones, and Haringey and Waltham Forest and maybe one or two more by now. It expands, with reason.

    The “Cons”:

    No objectively good guys (Mum-Rahs and Sneks) or objectively bad guys (Wyrmies, Sabbs, etc)

    No in-game map. This one is the most baffling to me, honestly. The grid is huge.

    This is a bigger turn off for me these days than it used to be. I don’t need geographically accurate grids anymore to be immersed in the game world.
