Good things in Mushing
-
This is a double edged sword when your plot runner starts taking your joke NPC name suggestions seriously and you end up with a villain whose name is ‘Stephyn with a y because the y makes it fantasy’
-
@spiriferida better or worse than when your plot runner doesn’t ask you for NPC name suggestions and accidentally names three different NPCs Aaron

@ham I’M FROM THE WOODS.
real ones will know.

@sao IT WAS ONE TIME

@sao Me reading the one spelling as ‘Air-un’, ‘Aye-ron’ and ‘Uh-run’.

Sometimes there’ll be a player you really like that you just kinda lose touch with after you both lose the connective tissue of the game you were on at any given time. MUSHing is a transitory hobby, I try not to get too down about it.
Then 15 years will pass.
Then you meet a player you really like a new game and you both think you’re a TOTALLY NEW FUN PERSON.
Then one day you’re talking about old games and you realize that, in fact, you played together quite a lot on that one random game 15 years ago, and the internet has now brought you back into proximity for the first time in this decade+.
Sometimes the smallness of the hobby is actually nice.

@Third-Eye This happened to me on a game that I’m on right now. Started RPing with the person, was having so much fun with the scenes. Then a group of us starting talking OOC and I realized that I had RPed with that person about… a decade ago, I want to say? And I loved the RP then, too.
So it was a really nice surprise to connect with them again. I wish I ran into more people that I used to RP with years and years ago. I’ve lost touch with so many people.

got in touch with a couple of buds that have been on a Discord server, snagged them, dangled the carrot of cooperative writing and we revisited an old idea –
(remember the intricate, elaborately awful villains and champions you used to invent when you first learned to game?
do you sometimes indulge in the guilty fantasy that now that you’re older and wiser you could do something really fun with those concepts?)
boop. embrace the cringe with nuance, right?
I made a sandbox and I’m outlining plot.
