I’m going to start writing a setting document soon.<tm> Proooobably going to use Cairhien as the quote-unquote hub. Though with Traveling being a thing, people will be able to go wherever pretty much.

IN PROGRESS.

So I’ve been thinking about it. I’ll run this game. I’ll herd these cats and hit people with sticks.

I just can’t code anything. And I’m not a huge ares fan, even though it’d make everything but Channeling easy.

So if any kind helpers out there want involved or have suggestions, I’ll listen.

@Rinel

Lanfear did not survive.

Cyndane survived.

Yes, I am being pedantic.

So, hear me out.

A Lords and Ladies game set a few years after the end of the Wheel of Time.

You’ve got your nations and factions doing all of the politics and parties.

You get your Aes Sedai and Asha’man push and pull.

You’ve got a couple Forsaken and the dwindling bands of Shadowspan trundling about.

This is a great idea. Someone should make this.

@Jennkryst Oh no, you can’t vaguebook that kind of shit.

@Jennkryst Fetishization versus empowerment/ownership of desirability is a moving target, mostly dependent on the individual parties involved. I have book recs.

Sad for the staffer who had to write that superheroes don’t lactate. No matter what the story behind that ruling was, sad for them.

I know exactly whose fault this is.

Like, if you’re gonna call somebody out, make sure you’re calling out the right person. Jesus. Like, the only ‘sexually aggressive’ PG on HAM was the one who literally had the bit for 45 minutes before she got yoinked into a staff room and banned. Because she was ‘a sex pest’. Or because she had the quote-unquote gall to post that she’d have a different take on a character squatted on by Chaucer’s useless friend for literal years.

@bored I think you have her confused with someone else. Tart doesn’t do that shit, she’s just a bitch and puts up with no shit.! (I say this lovingly)

How about we just don’t let the righties play in any of these games? They shouldn’t be allowed to have fun.

The current Xavier’s drama is hysterical, but I’m not on the channel, so I don’t have receipts. I know others do, because I’ve seen them.

Funniest shit.

@SqeakyClean Bleach game you say. Tell me more.

No Vampire? A bold decision.

@SpaceKhomeini said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

Like any game with obscenely ancient legacy characters, maybe it’s time to just wipe the slate?

Or quit, which is what sane people seem to be doing. That works too.

I don’t regret quitting. I just want a better Star Wars game with some crunch to it and that doesn’t allow minors. None of which exist right now.

@Popes I thought I remembered something about such a bonus straight out of chargen, but I couldn’t remember whose idea that was… it was pretty far back in the thread.

Completely unsurprised that he’d steal your idea. Though genuinely startled that he stole an actual GOOD idea.

Like I said way back in the thread. I never felt like I was treated as an outsider or a lesser, nor was I sex pested. BUT I did feel real goddamn useless in big combats because I did not have the XP to keep up. Of course, nor did I get murdered either.

We’ll happily support your new characters leading in to the new year!
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and prepare for 2024!

Oh look, the thing I suggested when I played there, but not flavored as a bonus.

@sao said in Discussion - Excelsior:

The thing is that a lot of the more popular characters are played, not that they aren’t in universe, so that’s just kinda what happens when a no OC game is active, I think.

I mean, the easiest solution is to let people pitch characters. Not open creation, but ‘Hey, how about <Insert Here>?’ and staff can say yes or no, rather than locking hundreds of characters behind whatever gating system there is and rewarding people who were quick on the draw. This way just foments nothing but FOMO from the outside.

I’ve been tempted for a while, but I gotta say. The open roster is, well, lackluster. So, enjoy, I guess?

This has gone from sketchy as hell, to absolute comedy. You can’t ban TS. You can’t. People are gonna do it. They’re gonna hide, but they’re gonna do it. This is a horny hobby.

Also, lol lmao, why fight so hard for underage PCs? It makes no sense. All y’all needed to do was go ‘No Players or characters under the age of 18’, and you’d have had half this forum in cgen already.

@SpaceKhomeini I have been. My membership is expired now because they swapped to Discord during Covid and it sucked and I found out I enjoyed having my Saturday nights back.

When I joined, it was fuckin bad still. Not in my area, but at cons we never let the women from our domain, or any of our friends from elsewhere, go anywhere alone. I will say that it’s vastly better now, they’ve yeeted a whole mess of creepos in the past five years or so.
