@Kay Sovereign?

I have absolutely no frame of reference as to whether or not this was him, but that’s who I thought of from your description.

That’s it! Rex/Sovereign/et al, that’s who the name sent off an alarm in my head over, and possibly something about the writing style. No idea if it is that person but thank you so much, that’s what was sending off the alarm! It was driving me a little batty to have that nagging sense but not being able to pin down where it was coming from, only that it had to do with the name.

Re: “Royal”, the dude’s name sent bells ringing in my head when he first showed up, but I couldn’t pin it down and just let it be because don’t want to accuse innocent people over nothing.

But now since he’s banned and the alarms in my head were proven valid, I’m wondering – does anyone else remember there being a well known bad player creeper type who frequently went by those kinds of names? I.e Royal/Regal/King/Duke/Earl/bladiblabla? I tried to search both on here and the soapbox but couldn’t find anything. I don’t know if the name match is just a coincidence or not, nor can I remember where I remember it from.

head on desk Someone write my character for me.

Cobalt. Cobalt. I made a character on this game.

I MADE A CHARACTER

It’s been literally half a year since my last attempt. YOU MUST JOIN. D:<

Arise, chicken! So half a year later I actually have an approved and active character on a game again. You can find me as Gwen on City of Glass!

Currently willing to sell non-existant firstborn to game Gentry able to provide a Changeling the Lost game. Even more so if it’s multisphere in some fashion or another.

Seriously, I need an outlet for my “I want to play a candle/dragon/book/avatar of murder/troll/mirror” etc shenanigans. I need my Changeling hit!

Also I know I’m not alone, you’re guaranteed to have a super popular game on your hands.

@Pavel I voted for potatoes but I object against bread being one of the options - bread is a thing, not a starch specifically. You can make bread without starch!

I only rarely eat potatoes, but rice and different kinds of breads are part of my regular diet so.

@devu Excellent~

Joining the oodles of people trying out Wyrdhold! I’m working on Briar there, probably be a Psychic?

@Tat Thank you Tat! Do you know of any specific games that are newbie friendly?

Hello! A buddy of mine has expressed interest in trying out MUs. They’re into gaming but have only played tabletop role-playing games, and did not even know MU*s were a thing.
I realized as I have not been playing regularly myself for quite some time, I have no idea what currently available games out there might be newbie friendly.
Please help with ideas for games for them to try out! Any and all suggestions are welcome, though I’d prefer to stick with MUSH/MUX so I’ll be on familiar code turf when I help them, but Ares is also a-ok.

@KarmaBum Thank you, I will take a look at those!

Giving my own topic a bump as I am a MU* hobo right now. Anyone know of any good places currently open? I mainly prefer WoD/whatever setting lets me play Changeling/Mage/Vampire/Mortal+/etc but I also like a lot of other genres. Always and forever looking for 100% OC superhero games, and I like original fantasy, historical settings etc too. I also have a lot of friends that might join your game too!

It’s raining. Finally like real, solid rain. And it’s washed all the smoke and dust away, and the air is so sweet and clean I can’t really describe it. But I am definitely following the advice of the smoke map notice.

@Kay IT IS RAINING

@jujube City of Shadows!

Staff has been super nice, the RP quality ranges from ok to amazing, I highly recommend if you want Chronicles of Darkness 2E stuff.

@GF That sounds like you want chai latte without the black tea, right? If spice is ok with your food limitations, here’s a rough recipe:

Get a pot and toast cardamom pods, whole cloves, ground nutmeg and a cinnamon stick over medium-high heat until it starts smelling really nice, usually 1-2 minutes. Add in a half inch piece of finely sliced raw ginger and a cup of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for about five-ten minutes, depending on how strong you want it.

Optional: black peppercorn (omitted in case that’s too spicy for you) and star anise (I don’t like it myself). Basically think flavors you like in chai tea or gingerbread cookies etc. You can also totally use ground spices if you don’t have whole ones, just be careful they don’t burn when toasting.

Add two cups of milk (and optional vanilla essence) and lightly simmer for five minutes. Remove from heat and strain through a strainer into two mugs.

You can also use this to make really delicious spiced hot cocoa, I do that a lot in holiday season.

@mietze I’m in that area too. It’s so unnatural feeling. I miss rain like crazy. Everything is dirt colored and dirty feeling and sad.

The Real Tuesday Weld has been one of my favorites for many years. Sadly they are ending, they are making just one more album. But here is a new song of theirs, with a lovely October appropriate music video. I think this would make a good themesong for a lot of different characters.

You dress like it’s the 1970s

Reading R. D. Laing in Brompton cemetery

You’re still in love with Susan Pevensie

You wander through life

Books and songs kept you in line

I dream you sometimes, sometimes

Whose that girl you met in A+E?

Shared your bag then stole all your cutlery? 

I heard that she died

Just seventeen and so alive

All those London lives

Some surrender
, some survive
I miss you my dear, dear…

Love Bone Dreams Blood
Love Bone Dreams Blood

You wandered through life

Drugs and blood could not suffice 

All those London lives

Some surrendered, 
some survived

I miss you my dear, my…

Love Bone Dreams Blood
Love Bone Dreams Blood

You dressed like in the 1970s

You were dreaming of Jackie Kennedy 

But it all worked out the way it was meant to be

Your life and love safe in my memory
My dear, my dear, my dear.

Finding a niche of our incestuous little hobby that’s filled with people I don’t know and have never played with before.

Yeees. That’s such a fun and bewildering thing. It’s rare!

@Kumakun I will admit I don’t know how easy/hard it would be to turn into a MUSH, but good ol’ Cyberpunk 2020 was my game standard for years for the genre. I’d love to see a game incorporate the character generator randomization options it has, and the lifepath generator is just fun. I haven’t gotten to try Cyberpunk Red yet what with all the delays and drama it had around its release.
