My cool* young aunt who had just moved away to college used to mu so obviously she had to be copied. It was also one of the pern games. Lord knows which one. 20+ years ago.

*I now understand she was not cool

@Cobalt Sometimes a person has a special connection with a dragon and together as very best friends, they breathe fire at horrible worms from the sky.

Plus you get a free t-shirt that says: Dragons made me do gay stuff.

Reading mentions of your character in the logs.

Have some Wingleader rosters up for grabs for some low-stakes responsibility/leadery PCs. With the impression age skewing older than Pern settings of olde, there’s a bit more room for maturity and politicking between Weyrs – which would be fun to see!

Important update.

Pinterest, baybeee. Or modeling/actor agency websites sometimes have some interesting faces.

I never thought I’d see “sex worker” meaning “tax collector” in even a fictional government, but here we are.

Do…do I even want to know what it is they’re collecting as “taxes?” I suspect I would want to refuse any tax refunds.

@MisterBoring said in Ot The Real, Gorilla Nems Ban Thread:

That’s a real spicy pair of posts for their intro to this particular community.

Doubt this was their intro. That person showed up with their butt already hurting.

@Ashkuri I can’t handle that initial bubble. The flurry of activity. The dropping anvils of constant forum posts. If I like a game, I’ll try to cling on until the storm passes. (I guess after 3 months?!) But most of the time I’ll just nope out and maybe give it a swing once things settle into what the actual player base and game tempo is going to be.

I don’t like it, so it’s a bad thing.

@Gashlycrumb I lean more towards the grad school approach, and think magic school can be fun.

@bear_necessities Magic systems can be done. It is known. I wouldn’t call them sustainable on large-scale games per se, or ones that don’t cap their players. I miss how old school Marvel games approached powers where there’s just a reasonable narrative scope that requires the consent and cooperation of the player characters who might be impacted. But I might just be burnt out on crunchy game mechanics. Systems should serve the story, not the other way around.

@bear_necessities I was under the impression that the first attempt never even ran, and the second was just a direct copy & paste of their wiki. I assume without permission given the individual involved.

It was a lot of fun for two weeks of those three weeks. Can’t speak to the longevity of the theme. It’s just an rp vacation I took once. Met somebody real weird. But also made some new friends I still rp with to this day!

This happened.

@Raistlin rn my tabletop group is playing a Pokemon Journey/Hunger Games mashup, and it’s produced some unexpectedly good story

@Jennkryst Battletech Lords and Ladies is as important as the mechs. Probably more so.

@helvetica said in Games we want, but will almost certainly never have:

a game where I get to pilot a mech suit like in Iron Widow/Heavenly Tyrant

whispers Iron Widow/Heavenly Tyrant is Lords and Ladies

You right, 2025. Time to lower my expectations. This is my lane, I’ll be right here in it.

@Sillylily Slayers, the Buffyverse audiobook by Amber Benson, was pretty effing entertaining, imo. It was kinda like listening to an olde-timey radio show, but make it Buffy. ~If anybody is looking for something in that realm.
