… how the killer will handle this one in the remake of Se7en, which will have to be called Ei8ht.

Obvs the exact same, just Empathy is the Goop-filled Gwen so her death is a two-fer.

@KarmaBum said in Game Development: Modern Gothic Storypath System:

@Raistlin Just curious if you’ve actually seen Dark City (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118929/)?

It’s always been in the back of my mind as “would make a cool MUSH.”

Hilariously, for a while now, I’ve had a hairbrained idea of Dark City crossed with City of 1,000 Planets crossed with Everworld but never had the energy to get it done.

Have you considered looking at Curseborn, the legally distinct WoD knockoff and recent kickstarter game by previous CoD writers after OP decided to kill CoD and 20th gamelines for daring to outperform V5?

@Solstice said in An Arx Peeve Thread:

the first book I picked up was “The Way of Kings

GOOD LUCK, be ready to join me in shouting into the void for a Cosmere MU

It’s always sending me to the top of the thread instead of the last post I read, but I could be doing the thing wrong.

Edit: okay so now that I’ve said that it’s stopped, maybe it’s only when there’s new post?

@Jumpscare said in MU Peeves Thread:

I can typically identify descs written by AI by how they’re surprisingly un-specific to the reality of what they’re supposed to be describing.

Yes, her eyes may harken back to bygone timeless memories hidden within pools of mystery, but what color are they?

The color that gets the most TS, of course!

@Jumpscare Any time there is new Star Wars media, line go up. I know very little about the one other Star Wars game that exists, but I assume its different enough that the City of Hope effect is in play.

… which is to say, AoA offers players something other Star Wars games don’t, and rhose players are willing to put up with an amount of fuckery due to lack of options.

For City of Hope, this used to be sky’s the limit concepts… Mummies, Nephandi, Shadow Court/Thallain, Demon the Fallen, Possessed, Sabbat… but there was also a serious lack of alternative oWoD games around. Now there is simultaneously a decrease in playable spheres, in addition to competition from other games like Liberation, RetroMu, Fulcrum, Towers, and at least one, maybe more, in alpha… and that means logins are going to go down as people flock elsewhere.

Maybe it is Imperial PCs. Maybe it’s the playable Dark Side. Maybe it’s the ridiculous obsession with Mandalorians. Maybe it is the ability to customize stuff. Maybe it’s the fact that you just +attack and the game spits out success and damage for you without you needing to own a rulebook to understand what happened. Whatever the case, people who are logging in have decided that something outweighs the bad.

The trick is finding out what that something is and replicating it elsewhere, bereft of the bad, and people will flock to you.

Just remember some of us write purple prose that is so terrible, that you might mix it up with ChatGPT, or maybe think it’s even worse. This is not a ‘so let them use it instead of being trash’ … this is a ‘don’t ban my hot mess, I worked hard on it!’

I like the idea of rosters, because they come pre-baked with connections and stuff. But OCs can also join rosters… as long as you know if you idle out, your OC goes up on the roster and anyone else can grab them, per normal rules and junk.

And you can open up OCs in waves, as staff and game capacity allow for proper attention to be given to the new folks.

Also keep in mind chargen is a collaborative process, so new arrivals can fit into existent hooks.

@Pavel Nah, gotta ask if they saw you across the bar MU and really dig your vibe.

@helvetica said in MU Peeves Thread:

Not a peeve per se, but one of the things I do regret not really doing is engaging with the generational aspects of L&L/fantasy theme yet (in a non-kinky way, SORRY). Even though I closed out my big char on Arx with a kid to contribute to whatever imagined future for her situation, it was kinda just something I tossed in at the end cause it was on my bucket list.

Generational stuff is one of the reasons I was sad when Arx shifted from 3:1 to 2:1. Just reduced the chances of exploring it. (Plus there were always people who insisted on loudly declaring they never wanted staff to turn on auto-aging because they wanted to play an unaging 20-year-old forever.)

It’s me, I want to play the forever-20-year-old, with a body that isn’t randomly falling apart from too much marching band.

@Jennkryst Fading Suns?

I know it exists! Eclipse Phase, too, if you also want Altered Carbon Body-Swap shenanigans.

(Edit: PBs changing now have an IC justification!)

@Juniper said in MU Peeves Thread:

So, Dune?

Dune, Elite Dangerous, Lancer, the space mech offshoot of Girl by Moonlight for magical girls… whatever.

@Juniper said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Pavel lmao. What the fuck kind of game was this.

tis but the poison seed from whence doth spring all ye lords & ladies games

I’ve been too focused on space trucking and stealth bombing in Elite, time to once again brainstorm lords & ladies IN SPAAAAACE!

@STD Babies are grown in bellies, and that is whee food goes once you use your mouth to eat it. Ergo, mouth babies are just as valid as butt babies, especially since this was that game with telepregger-nobody-even-needed-to-touch creeper power.

@Pavel Missed opportunity to include majik anal mpreg opportunities. VtR Dhamphir code, let’s gooooo!

@TNP I don’t know of its the microplastics in the water or what, but this is exactly what my flatmate’s cat a few years ago, and then more recently her dog, both ended up getting. Like, literally the exact same thing, both of them. Leading to internal bleeding, which didn’t help anything. We made sure they both had the best final day as possible, but shit suuuucks.

@Tez said in MU Peeves Thread:

Firan! I got you, old man.

Well, that one’s a gimme. If you can think of a stupid policy, Firan did it first and worst.

Firanites don’t have buttholes, remember.

This is kink erasure!

There are weird space alien flower bug things in my Space Trucker simulator, and I’m a little annoyed that space legs were so bad when they first dropped that I quit space trucking for a while. Tangentially related, the space alien flower bug things aren’t cute enough for me to try to join never mind the game devs won’t let people join them.

Anyway, Sol and/or Earth about to get wrecked, time to speed run building that 1:1 scale Space Trucker MU or something.
