What's up with the two Age of Heroes games?

@catzilla There’s a Star Wars game out now that uses traits. I don’t play there but not because of the system they use. I think it could work very well. You can check them out at https://swdarktimes.com/

This is exactly the game I was talking about. It was mentioned in that dumpster fire game thread and basically was snubbed by person/people because it DOESN’T have mechanics.

Raistlin

@catzilla Ah. Well, for what it’s worth, I think it’s totally doable. I think for Star Wars, it might even be beneficial, since most RPG/mechanical systems struggle to balance force users and non-force users.

This Star Wars game is also run by the person that runs the current game called Age of Heroes - the one that jacked all that code.

So, given yhat time advances on UH and HAM, two of them used to be teens.

No, that was their starting ages on those games. There was no teen Rogue with bondage powers, you’ve just been misinformed.

I might be off on 7, but it was definitely more than one.

You can go to the website, look at the revision history for the sheet. Dropped on 22 may 2022, next approval was 25th may 2023. 1 year and 3 days, during a time where as you observed, characters weren’t being approved much – and even Batman was unplayed for 7 months. You were misinformed again. Maybe you should put less trust into the gossip you’re getting.

I think you keep confusing what people mean by this. Everyone agrees skin-to-skin contact with Rogue will drain powers. Its just the solution is always ‘put Rogue in a full body bondage-esque catsuit so there’s never skin to be touched’.

Few ever thinks to just put a restraining collar on her during day to day slice of life scenes. Like someone couldn’t make one aesthetically pleasing, or waterproof. People remembering that not only is she able to control her powers, but she isn’t even getting her flying brick power set from Carol Danvers any more either. Going with that is a breath of fresh air.

Well, yeah. You don’t have Danger Bondage Sexy Times if you do it that way!

@Jennkryst I was being silly with the bondage powers thing.

Out of curiosity, how does this bondage-esque catsuit differ from the catsuit she wears in the comics? Or is this just a dislike of the character?

Jennkryst

@Colette I am pro-Rogue, pro-bondage, pro-catsuit, and pro-sexy-times.

@Prototart was pointing out Rouge-players have traditionally used her powers as an excuse to hyperfixate on fetish/bondage RP that ‘tee-hee, kinky and saves people from dying while touching her’, and occasionally drift into a barely-legal area.

You mistook this to mean these players were giving her Bondage powers.

Also, the difference is spandex vs latex, obvs.

Colette

@Jennkryst
Prototart talked about ‘bondage scenarios’. I flipped that into ‘bondage powers’ because I was being silly and flippant. I mean come on. Superhero with bondage powers. That would be amazing.

Oh wait. That’s Wonder Woman. I forgot.

Also, the difference is spandex vs latex, obvs.

Right, gotcha, gotcha. I do see the player in question once had Rogue wearing latex gloves while doing some lab work, does that count? It feels disappointingly unbondage-y and scandalous.
