@hellfrog This. Exactly this. I want players to do things and be rewarded, not be rewarded for logging in. The system I have in my mind may not work at all. But it can be changed. I just don’t want to continue doing the same thing, over and over, and expecting different results.

Well, fine, I guess I’m finally going to have to build my VtR in Victorian London game I keep threatening to do.

@Pavel said in Web-based CharGen or in-game CharGen: @hellfrog said in Web-based CharGen or in-game CharGen: yeah applications are to tell you about the player more than the character, I think. "Name a non-fictional woman that is smarter than you’ would be a perfect application prompt. Faraday and Cobalt. Next question. you’re in, buddy!

@tsar I am replying here to get your attention for no reason related to past posts in this thread. I just want to say I both appreciate and over the facts I see when I peek at Crimson Compass’s site.

@howyadoin said in Bad Stuff Happening IC: @MisterBoring Silent Heaven already exists ETA: joke You joke, but Silent Heaven players will 100% sign up for all of that and have a great time. The first event I ran that was tagged “risk of character death” had 31 characters sign up for it. I’m impressed by their ability to find brief moments of IC fun, relief and happiness for their characters, even in the direst situations.

@Yam said in Other People: I was def curious about how often most RPers even consider Other People’s fun. I’m so worried about other people’s fun and happiness that my therapist wishes I would just be a selfish asshole once a month.

@Roz obvs so nothing dethrones the AoA thread post count.

@Warma-Sheen said in Warma-Sheen: As Hollywood on TR, I was banned because I kept pestering Troy about trying to get other staffers to quit talking crap about my character on staff channels. She told me to stop bothering her and I didn’t. It wasn’t until after I was banned did some accusations about cheating get thrown out after the fact from which I never got a chance to address/defend and only heard about 3rd hand, which I think were about looking at my own jobs as a staffer, to which, if that was a thing, wasn’t more than occasional typos of the many, many, many jobs that I handled there. Troy: is that the dude who used the Shemar Moore pb? Coin: yes. Troy: that dude was straight up cheating. Troy: i’m glad he remembers all those details, cuz i sure as fuck don’t. but he was a fucking menace. Troy: ask yourself why the staffers were talking shit about his character. Troy: the game was better for it when he left. and by left we mean got kicked out. sorry not sorry. also, as Coin, I will say, i remember Kelvin being the most metagame-y, minmax-y, Pledge-abusing, power-gaming dude in the Changeling sphere, and this was CONCURRENT (to a degree) with VASpider’s tenure there, so keep that in mind. cheers.

firan. i had never even heard of MUs.

Yeah, I can’t say I was psyched ot see it was 5E but it’s not a deal breaker either. It’s weird because we live in a great time for IP-based RPGs(Transformers, GI Joe, Power Rangers, and now Thundercats), but I’m not a huge fan of any of the systems behind them. The exception being Star Trek. I do like the 2D20 system.

Oh, it’s a troublesome character even if you remove the ableism. Deep in my little black heart I have this desire to app a comics game as the demon Baytor, a sort of tube with teeth that shouts “I AM BAYTOR!” a lot and does little else. [image: 47318045_2287119871301085_7913387447998742528_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&cb2=99be929b-bd9a46d7&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=127cfc&_nc_ohc=pgzN1u7T-_kQ7kNvwHuU9aF&_nc_oc=AdlNtNIigrmBrbEXOWWKNufbWG8GLC03A0MAQ3MOo3jbxTH74JY79dgseR3laJf9C_fHfHW9ZZ5unZ_q6zx9U44-&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-1.xx&_nc_gid=ZrWMoXrBTkJyXsSMSXcdOg&oh=00_Aflm6SljyoShYagRfUzUCsTAvuNMDw3IDsSfGPO1pRHVQg&oe=69599200] This is a bad, bad idea, obviously bad. It might be okay if I made sure Baytor could only be found where it’s found in the comics, working as a bartender at a certain pub, completely easy to avoid, and treated it as a sort of NPC I depict while playing a reasonbly PC-written-PC primarily.

Ashkuri’s doodles are awesome. Characters, postcards, random drawing from an offhand comment I made as a joke. Good stuff if you get a chance to take them up on it.

@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.

@somasatori In game is good!

@Cobalt Absolutely no apology needed. Appreciate holding us accountable.
