@Deviant FWIW if any rules seem weird, they are probably weird of our own invention. Just because we don’t have enough experience on other CoD games to be pulling rules from them.

Yesterday I had to crash the rp scene to a halt to look up a thing on my own sheet, except that I didn’t actually have to, I was just second guessing myself stupidly about a thing that it turned out didn’t even apply to that situation.

I’m great at world of darkness, you guys.

Pavel

@sao You’re just providing the experience of playing at home with friends to everyone around you!

when players cannot be trusted to respect the spirit of “PCs must clearly be adults,” then sometimes revisions must be made

Yeah I typically go with 22+ for policy these days when designing games. I feel like fresh out of some college is young enough, without being a literal child.

@Cobalt I was fresh out of college at 28-29. So I guess that is my new age to app characters at.

(Jk, I don’t play these silly text based games anymore. I play the superior Minecraft, which is definitely not a kids game no matter what my parents say.)

@Meg your parents just say ‘can you please fix the roof while you’re here’

Meg

@hellfrog yes in real life, never in Minecraft. That roof is always going to be wonky and it’s going to drive me nuts and I’m gonna just have to throw some leaves over it and amethyst clusters.

Pavel

Minecraft and MUing have a lot in common, at least for me.

I’m constantly seeing people make this massive, impressive, and time-consuming thing… but every time, I just make a dinky little cabin, then dig down as far as I can go because it amuses me, and then I get distracted doing something else for a while and totally forget about Minecraft.

Cobalt

@Pavel Stop being me

Snackness

@Meg I have to play Minecraft with my son sometimes, kids have NO idea how to play it right.

I genuinely appreciate staff being really understanding with personal fumbles and clarifying things in posts. There are moments I feel guilty and worry I’m wasting people’s time, so it really does put me at ease!

Cobalt

I’m planning to make a Moros mechanic mage if anyone wants another mage for a cabal:)

@Smile Saaame. I’ve had such a lovely experience with staff here so far.

@Smile PROMISE YOU AREN’T.

Besides, the books are such a poorly edited hodge-podge of contradictory information that we are trying to implement in an imperfect at best online many-player rendition of tabletop small-group mechanics. There are always going to be gaps and things we have to clarify as we go.
