      The third thing: vibes-based chargen, in which stats are inferred and implied, and dice challenges resolved through the pageantry of dance.

      Okay, really, I’d just go with well-documented and either web-based with a registered login provided upon request, or well-documented and handled on-site, with approval mostly rubber-stamping after the sniff-test is done.

        I prefer web-based, but echo what people have said about anything being fine so long as it’s clear and well-documented.

            I want the machine to do the mathening. I do the storying, the machine does the mathening. That’s why we have the machine.

              As someone who prefers in-game chargen, web-based is by far better.

                Years ago, I used to be all about using MUSH Client and doing stuff in game. But after playing on a few Ares games, I was fully converted over to web based. A lot more flexibility with web based and the visual presentation was a lot easier to work with.

                  web based. I never want to use a client again.

                    Even as somebody who still plays on-client a fair amount, I wouldn’t want to do CG in a pure text interface again. It’s just so much easier on web to save things/proof things/edit things.

                    Also staff-side it’s way easier to make small changes if I need to, give notes to players, or see where somebody’s getting an error (either through user error or something screwy with the game).

                    I want something else to get me through this
                    Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
                    I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye

                      @Yam Well, there you have it, folks; this website’s least controversial post! 😆

                        So, what you’re saying is, we should set fire to the trees?

                          @Third-Eye I dunno about chargen, but on the fly pose editing in the webportal is amazing!
