@hellfrog Mage is also a problem. I don’t hear much about Changeling, but I don’t play much changeling so it’s not really in my echo chamber.
Changeling can be several different kinds of problem. Think Disney adults.
do you feel like they are equal problems
is it WoD…or is it vampire/werewolf that are the real problem
@MisterBoring whether you like how any particular person does it or not, yam’s point is that there is necessary work that must be done to make different spheres work together on MU. You will absolutely have to house rule system interactions, and if you don’t do it at the outset you will be doing it on the fly during scenes when players ask ‘how will this work?’.
@bear_necessities the answer seems to be in the sentence right before the one you quoted, I think.
@KDraygo nah, those aren’t live scenes if they are going async or continuing for days with pause. .
But honestly, I immediately take a dim view of claims that specific choices are correct and protected due to having jobs and lives. Nearly all people have jobs and lives, and they choose what to do with their free time how they want. No one’s time is more sacred than anyone else’s.
sounds like the clock was right dozens and dozens of times, but those clocks were maybe just female clocks being dramatic and jealous, and thus this time was a Real Shock
@bear_necessities idk why she needs you to speak for her but here we are
@Faraday said in Grid vs Web Scenes:
Are we getting more players from other mediums though?
yes. we were always surprised on arx just how many people kept coming in that had no MU* experience at all.
@MisterBoring it’s always about specific incidents. People just don’t own up to them because they don’t want the scrutiny - for a variety of reasons, I’m sure.
‘async’ to me reads as ‘we are going into this expecting it will be ongoing for days, weeks, or even months’ and i just cannot
@Third-Eye said in RP Safari - Pacing Styles:
Standard Live or more staggered/distracted live if I’m at work, which I’ve usually seen defined as poses can take like 20 mins+ to come in but you’re still done in a day or two and consistently paying attention. I prefer a relatively brisk pace for the improv feel of it but both are fine.
i was going to post my own preferences but THIRD EYE BLIND already did it. Sometimes my normal poses take 10-15 minutes, but that’s because i’m old and my brain is slow and i’m not a great writer. But hopefully, that shows in the poses and I don’t seem like I’m not paying attention. I try hard to be ‘in the moment’ because I hate it so much when I can tell my scene partners are distracted - my mental disability goes nuts.
@Pyrephox honestly farming systems are the best kind of minigames for MU, they don’t rely on timing or getting 8 people to pay attention for 3 hours
i would definitely not. dabbling in paid DnD, even my strong belief that storytellers should be allowed to do what they want was tested by the annoyance and expectation of “i am paying for this”.
any time anyone ever suggested arx be monetized in some way, I broke out in full body shudders

@Trashcan said in MU Peeves Thread:
You’re certainly free to decide this doesn’t match your preference, but it’s not really fair to decry it as a miscarriage of justice.
A miscarriage of justice? Haha.
But really, the expectation that everybody gets a turn and the GM doesn’t skip yours because they kinda feel like it is not something that needs to be explicitly stated in a policy. It’s how gaming works. It is fair to decry it as rude fuckery, which is what we talk about here.
disagree. if you are odious or rude to a staffer, or you no-sell when they try to include you, or you just are high maintenance and take up too much gm time? These are all perfectly valid and fair reasons to skip players, leave them out of things, or refuse to GM for them.
make no mistake, doling out reward currency just for activity would absolutely attract players. 100% of those will be the players you don’t want dominating your game
