      But let’s not conflate liking someone with the ability to problem-solve and handle conflicts in a mature manner. They are very different things, and one neither requires nor implies the other. PVE games have stupid schoolyard drama, but PVP games tend to ratchet it up to 11. I just can’t stand dealing with it (as player or as staff).

      This came across my feed the other day and I immediately thought of the MU community:

        Man, I vibe with this.

        In kids terms this is also said “they are being mean to me” (and all its variations.) A great deal of the time they aren’t being mean, they just aren’t acting in a way the kid wants them too. So they must be mean.

        I don’t think we ever fully grow out of this…

          Plz someone make a Contagion Chronicle game: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/318347/Chronicles-of-Darkness-The-Contagion-Chronicle

          More seriously - I think the reason why PvE games are more difficult is that it takes a lot of staff time/energy to keep players with Things to Do, particularly when you have multiple spheres, and while I think there’s a large pool of CoD/WoD players, there is a much, much smaller pool of people willing/able to put in the work to make and actually run a game with the strong horror/PvE focus that would be amazing. And some of the ones who are out there have a tendency to be somewhat emotionally unstable, so it’s a dice roll when it comes to play experience.

          I’d really love to see more single-sphere (or Mortal) focused games with staff who were really passionate about running those stories. More often what I see is “here are the most popular spheres or the spheres that people have loudly demanded, anyway, but the game staff actually only feels comfortable doing anything with X and Y sphere, so Z sphere, while technically extant, is basically stuck with whoever decides to take one for the team until they burn out”.

            @Pyrephox Contagion Chronicle has some good stuff, though it feels like it would be hard to implement and run! (In a game sense, not code wise) Also the actual God Machine Chronicle stuff has never really been embraced by the CofD MU*ing community, I feel like.

            But I did consider it a while back.

              I have been saying this for literally twenty years. It made sense when I was working on White Wolf’s official game servers that they offered (almost) every splat that they had published because they were ostensibly marketing vehicles for the company and were built to support their product line, but…

              After that, it seems like most places just opened up as many spheres as they could manage out of a desire to reach a critical mass of players, whether they could actually serve those spheres well or not. I would really like to see games that are single-sphere or maybe - maaaaaaybe - two or three spheres if they have overlapping themes that will be highlighted in the game’s setting and plot, thereby giving them reasons to be running around in the same spaces.

                I’d really love to see a Vampire and Changeling game using some of the content from Dark Eras 2 – there’s a merit that allows Invictus Oaths to be sworn with Changeling vassals, and I had ideas of setting up the Changeling Freehold courts with an extra court. The vampires aren’t others, they’re just the ‘Night Court’ of the freehold, and are bound up in the freehold oath as well. Probably can’t really embrace all the vampire covenants this way and it changes that game dramatically, but still.

                  I suspect there’s also a lot of “Well, when the game started, we had someone who was super passionate about running Highlander: The Quickening, but they eventually got overwhelmed with <thing> and had to step down, so now one of the other staff members who isn’t really enthused about it and doesn’t care much for a lot of what Original Highlander Staffer did and honestly doesn’t have the time because of the sphere they’re really interested in running, but we didn’t want to just shut down the sphere and leave all the players who are invested in it in the lurch.”

                    @Livia I’d love to see a street-level Mortal+Changeling game that focused a lot less on Freehold stuff, and more on God-Machine and fae horror - oneriophages, hedge ghosts, real ghosts, Things Which Should Not Be, etc. Creepy horror stories in dark alleyways and alien Hedge woods, where Mortal stuff receives just as much attention as Lost.

                    Give me dark cults, and covens of psychics trying to fight back against them with their small magics. Corrupt cops who’ve signed deals with Huntsmen to capture Lost. All of that.

                      I have zero familiarity with the source, but this sounds very interesting!

                        After watching the recent trailers for Armored Core 6: Fire of Rubicon, I now have a hankering for an Armored Core mush. But I feel like that’s so oddly specific and not your general mech or Gundam based mush, that there likely there likely wouldn’t be a lot of interest in that.

                        I don't know what I'm doing. Poke at Seven Nations sevennations.aresmush.com port 2021

                            If someone made a grimy-ass Battletech game I’d, well, try to play it but I don’t even know how that sort of thing would work.

                            Also, no Clans, sorry, even if they have the sexy hardware.

                            I woke up feeling so good, I think I’d better call in sick/ I need a personal trainer to help me hold my drink
                            I plan to be spontaneous next time we meet/I’m putting off procrastinating until next week
                            I’ll get onto it when I give a shit

                              @SpaceKhomeini Literally just Lords and Ladies but in SPAAAAACE, and Mechs instead of full plate.

                              … but if combat campaigns, Megamech or whatever. The hard part is they don’t have personal-scale rules, though, so it’s tricksy.

                                      I’m pretty sure there’s some ancient BattleTech code sitting around out there. I stumbled across it… many many moons ago.

                                        @Hobbie There is BTMux, which is only appealing to people who liked HSpace but thought it didn’t go hard enough. But also BTMux is only mech scale… you can VTOL or tank or squad of ground troops, but no proper aerospace or individual person.

                                          I kinda really want an omegaverse/billionaires social game, but I don’t know how I would manage to keep creeps out.

                                          I’ve been reading a lot of silly romance novels about stupid wealthy people and I just wanna swan around pretending I’m rich on a game where it won’t get looked down on because very one else is also pretending to be stupidly wealthy.

                                          But I also want a game with lots of fun (but optional) coded systems that is just enough crunch to sink your teeth into.

                                            I’ve been into those too, recently, and the ‘fated mates’ romances. But have started giving up on all three because most of the time in them the female/omega lead is abused by her family and community. And often the male/alpha lead is like ‘I don’t want you because you’re shit.’ type deal and is ‘in love with someone else’. Then the male/alpha adds to the abuse, if he/the alpha wasn’t already involved. It usually ends up with the omega/female being ‘in love’ with the abuser and forgiving him when he automagically has remorse for abusing the person their whole life.

                                            I would still love that sort of game, though.
