@Starr-Saphyre It’s nothing more than a reboot of L&L.
@Prototart said in What's up with the two Age of Heroes games?:
On comic games? Not so much. When Claremont and Ditko were first outed on UH, maybe 20 people left total and most of those - including Chaucer - eventually just went back.
Just to expand a little, even though I know you know:
Notably, Chaucer took the lead on trying to construct the theme for an alternative game, with these people as the seed playerbase. After a few months of putting together a sprawling multipublisher comic book theme animated primarily by hubris (fine, it’s a mush), a lack of knowledge of the constituent parts, an innate loathing for most of those parts, and a little bit of random cultural stereotyping, he started receiving feedback on his masterpiece. Prospective players noted that his theme would probably be confusing and inaccessible to most players looking to play a comic book game, because - again - the theme was constructed from the ground up by someone who both did not know and did not care for most of the material he was working with. This included needing to be told that rewriting Wakanda to be the result of an Ancient Aliens-style uplift and interbreeding program via predominantly white space aliens (instead of ongoing, conscious effort on the part of its native peoples to utilize miraculous extraterrestrial materials) would be wildly unacceptable.
His response to being criticized was to go back to the game which he knew was run by sex pests, buddy up with some of those sex pests’ friends, and - once the depraved Eye of Sauron turned to those sex pest friends - push his Jenga’d together theme onto them while they were getting HAM together.
I’ve met worse people and worse administrators in this hobby, but I wouldn’t trust this guy as a head administrator anymore than I would any of them.
