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.

RE: The 3-Month Players
@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.

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

RE: The Magicians
@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.

RE: The Magicians
@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!

@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

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

RE: TV series, news, recommendations
@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.

RE: Unspeakables: The Politics Thread 2024
Temporarily took down most of my professional online presence a few weeks ago out of an abundance of caution, and felt like a coward doing so. This week, professors at the school have started to show up on lists for teaching radical ideology. Today I fielded my first otherwise innocuous request for a past syllabus from a former student who absolutely fits the bill.

RE: Blocking Players
The idea of me blocking someone and them receiving any notification other than “X is not receiving OOC pages right now” stresses me out.

RE: Blocking Players
@Faraday Most Ares games seem fairly small. Forum blocks (and even in some cases channel blocks) pose the risk of players missing out on key game information/context. But we’re adults, so if somebody wants to roll those dice… they should be able to, I guess.
If it’s an issue of not wanting to hear that person over there breathing or somebody you don’t vibe with taking up a lot of space, an easily undone/temp ignore option seems reasonable.

RE: Pets!
@TNP I just had something similar occur this week. Sicker than he’s ever been in his entire life, nobody slept all week, and then suddenly, tail up, ready to eat again.
