We have a few people looking to play Impression on-camera, so we’ll be running a hatching in August, with events kicking off in earnest on the 29th of June.

It’s a good time to join if you’ve ever wanted to play Candidacy, Impression and weyrlinghood as a character arc. Our “process” is low-key, so you won’t need to write an app or jump through any hoops. Just create a character, sign up to Impress, and go about your regular RP.

We also have a few big story moments coming up in July, so it’s a good time to join if you’ve ever wanted to play Pern regardless of Candidacy.

It’s impossible to play on a Mu* anymore for me. Asking for RP and finding RP is such a chore and then when it’s found it’s usually some weird slice-of-life stuff that people want to play, which in a lot of cases isn’t what I’m looking for.

So it’s a constant circle of building PCs, getting amped, trying to find something to do, and failing and just realizing hours/days/weeks/months/whatever of my life has been wasted.

@Wizz said in Historical Games Round 75:

Just re: feeling dismissed in this thread, I do feel like it’s important to point out that any time you have several people who feel deeply passionate about a topic but are diametrically opposed in their opinion, you’re going to feel a little dismissed regardless of intent of the other party.

To be clear, I am not feeling this way because someone disagrees. There have been a number of people (among them the ones KarmaBum quoted) who have argued the opposing position quite kindly. Other comments, especially taken together, have made at least two of us feel dismissed. But as @shit-piss-love says, I’m not interested in scouring the thread and pointing fingers at specific comments. The point has been made, and folks can either keep it in mind when posting disagreements or not.

@Roadspike said in Ares & Discord Integration:

I’ve been on several games with Discord Integration. I’m a fan of it, because there are times when I little hit of that game-derived dopamine, but can’t log in to the actual game. But I also think that it’s very important to only have game channels on the Discord (except maybe an ‘Images’ channel or something like that) because otherwise it feels like more of a Discord game than a MUSH (even if all the RP takes place from the web portal). I want players to be able to have the full (or very nearly full, just without image spam) experience from the web portal/client.

Yeah, if the Discord is limited to the game channels, then Discord just becomes a supplementary client with which to engage with the game. That would be my ideal, because then you don’t run the risk of there being game-focused public chatter and development happening that completely excludes those who don’t want to Discord.

“Bath tub full of d6s” - Ah, the memories! You're doing it right meme.

@Meg Sorta! 😄 😄 😄

I bought the domain in…gosh, mid to late 90s. It started as a joke from channel talk (hence the whole ‘Where the Deity Complex and Insanity Meet.’ thing) and then just kinda grew, haha. There were so many great people that offered links/articles that it ended up more serious than joke-y.

I kept the domain for years after Pern, because I parked a lot of personal stuff/pictures there. The renewal came up and I was like, naaaaah.

Six seasons and a movie.

@Raeras Thank you! And I agree, I’ve been spoiled by Ares as well, especially with async scenes. I’ve spent a lot of time and effort developing systems that I hope will be respectful of your time in a traditional public scene pace.

And if something isn’t working as I hoped, I’ll always be open to suggestions on how to improve it.

there, @Snackness, I said it.
