Seeing cool new characters that look like they might be fun to RP with but not wanting to instantly PM them and come off creepy/overexcited/stalkery/etc.

So even if @De-Villefort is right and all genres except for sci-fi and cyberpunk are filled with nothing but bad terrible people…

So what?

Sometimes it’s fun to play the villain. Do you think that any actor that gets the role of a villainous type absolutely hates their job while doing so? Do you think Alan Rickman or Christopher Lee cried in anguish every morning they woke up before going off to play their various famous villainous roles?

hi I’m new to the clique. what time are our weekly meetings on who to dogpile that week? I’m also signing on up bringing cups and ice.

@ten You can tell my em dashes are legit because I always use them — incorrectly.

I like a good meowdy

@Cygnus I want conflict to come from the environment and NPCs. I don’t want to worry about my character getting ganked because another player thinks it’s fun.

If I want PVP, I’ll boot up Rivals or something similar.

Conspiracy theory time.

What if Ganymede wanted to end MSB ALL ALONG?! Her RL has gotten so busy that she couldn’t control MSB with so many members as it was but didn’t want to let go of her online authoritah so she hired someone that she knew would be divisive and would let to at least half of the members would be banned or leave on their own so she wouldn’t have to do so much work but still appear cool calm collected catbot (BECAUSE THAT PERSONALITY IS SO FUNNY!) and it worked out enough because she’s cold emotionless lawyer who doesn’t have time for FEELINGS and admitting to making a mistake is a fate far worse than DEATH!

pls feel free to ignore this message, brought to you by bored people at work sitting in boring meetings and already mentally clocked out for the 4-day weekend.

@KarmaBum said in Bannings:

Also that Derp is a misogynist prick who lacks the self-awareness to realize he’s the problem, not all of us.

Derp is the embodiment of ‘she shouldn’t have been wearing that dress’.

@hellfrog What do you expect from a forum run by a dude that has said in threads regarding similar topics that “maybe she shouldn’t have gone down that alley” and other such gross things?

@Noraaa said in Nwod 2e vs owod:

If I could somehow jam Werewolf: The Apocalypse into Changeling: The Lost I’d be a happy kitty. Does someone want to do all of that intellectual legwork for me? I don’t pay in anything but affirmation and soothing gifs.

More to add after doing a little strolling down memory lane:

Descent MUX (a NWOD post-apoc game)
Jason
Dume
Casamir
Zoe

Would a zombie game discussion go in Game Gab or Helping Hands? Or I guess even Rough & Rowdy.

@MisterBoring said in Missed Settings:

• Zombie Apocalypse (This seems like a no-brainer, pun intended.)

I’ve always wanted to run a zombie game but feel people would get bored of it quickly.

@Aria said in Your first game?:

@catzilla said in Your first game?:

@Aria My very first scene on New Bremen my character was meeting her new packmates (on New Bremen you had to start in a pack so there was basically LFG/PUG packs on the game).

She walked in on one of her packmates cuddling/kissing a Pookie. In their animal form.

@catzilla I don’t remember that rule, though I’m not sure if it was because it didn’t apply by the time I made my Fianna or if it’s because in Werewolf, I mostly played a Kinfolk…

…who was the mate of Sturm Magnarsson. Ohh, god, the horror stories I could tell that came as a result of dipshit late teenage me being like, “Well, she has Survivor as a Nature and he’s the alpha of the Fenrir and he’s asking for her, so it makes sense IC.”

If there were ever a lesson in “It’s what my character would do!” blowing up in a player’s face but in exactly the wrong way from how it should, that was it. That was it right there. No, little baby Aria. No. You tell more people to fuck off when they start getting weird at you. (Adult Aria, too, honestly.)

That name kind of rings a bell but I don’t think I ever properly played with them. I did play a Shadow Lord kinfolk that was mated to a big shot PC named Aldrich something? I can’t think of anything the player did but the PC provided a bunch of drama/trauma for my kinfolk (in what I remember as a fun way).

@Aria My very first scene on New Bremen my character was meeting her new packmates (on New Bremen you had to start in a pack so there was basically LFG/PUG packs on the game).

She walked in on one of her packmates cuddling/kissing a Pookie. In their animal form.

I’ve been RPing since I stumbled onto a RP room back on AOL.

Like @Aria, I mostly played on Digichats since New Bremen.

But my very first MUSH/MUX (I still don’t know the difference lol) was a mortal/mortal+ only game called Bump in the Night.

@Pavel said in Your first game?:

@Aria I never did play the DigiChats, at least not for any length of time that made them stick in my memory, but I’ve heard that they were a layer of hell all unto their own.

Code wise or RP/player/ST/etc. wise?

Because yes.

@labsunlimited said in Character Death:

@catzilla That’s utterly pathetic on their part. As is that game for allowing this to go off at all.

The player of sniper PC was buddies with the ST (who was also the owner of the game/site). I had asked if there was a way that my character could have been nabbed by a privateer/loyalist/etc and replaced with a Fetch or something but ST said no.

The worst part was that this game had a public diceroller and there were no rolls made for sniper PC to escape the hospital/police.

@Yam The game was new at the time and I made the first mortal. Dude would make snide remarks OOCly about mortals being useless and no point in having them on a game.

My character got pledged to the Freehold not too long after approval. His character was a Winter assassin that was aloof around my character (totally fine ICly). One day my PC had lunch with another member of the Freehold and as soon as they stepped out of the diner the ST pops up and tells me that I’ve been hit with like, 6L damage? out of nowhere. Friendly PC manages to stabilize my PC and get her to the hospital. Should have been fine there right?

No. Somehow the sniper PC sneaks into the hospital, gets past police, etc., finds my character in the hospital and point blank shoots her dead. Then somehow also manages to get out the hospital unscatched, go on the run and in hiding, then quit the character when he wasn’t applauded and then quit the game.
