    Sorry for the downtime. Did an appalling number of upgrades while fixing the gif button. We’ve upgraded a few so let me know if you see anything broken. Feedback here.

    In general we keep much fewer long-term records in this paperless era. It’s not like we’re writing letters that get shoved in a box somewhere, we’re writing stories that eventually get wiped the next time we replace our device and when we’re gone, our data is gone. This applies outside of this hobby as well, but maybe as a society we should be thinking more about being deliberate about the records we keep and where we can place them where they’ll be maintained after we’re gone.

  • When you want to talk about HOW to do something when running a game, bring it here: Code, Theme, Policies, Game Design.

    @Gashlycrumb Also, chances are most of the people you (general not specific) have a problem with have a similar opinion of you so 1) Why would they care? 2) Why would they be surprised? People are allowed to avoid games because of Staff (whether your own issue or in support of someone else) so it seems hypocritical to not allow Staff the same option especially when they’re the one putting in the effort to run the game.

    So I doubt anyone will know who I am but I figured I’d introduce myself. I used to be Thionoxial on MCM (I left like 18 years ago or something like that, maybe 15? LONG TIME AGO) - I was the fachead for their evil faction and plotstaff. I used to be Einara (Zelosian idealist working for the CIS who secretly helped the Jedi alot) on Star Wars: Generations I used to play Ioanna on a VTM Dark Ages game set in Iberia. I played (until I had a nervous breakdown over my gender) a daeva lawyer based on Elle from Legally Blonde on some VTM Revised game, but only for a few months, about 5-6 years ago during COVID. pronouns are she/her if your cis and straight, she/they if your cis and queer, or they/she if your trans. (yes its complicated so am I). I have a B.S. in Physics with minors in astrophysics and mathematics. I’m 43 and I’ve been mushing since I was ~9. I’ve been trying to be on computers less the past year so I can live life instead of writing about it, life is too short. Other facts about me: My mom died 3 weeks ago and the last thing she ever said to me was (she was transphobic) that she spent her whole life fighting her urge to be a boy and never realized other girls didn’t feel that way. I used to be a buddhist but I’ve been an atheist for ~3 weeks now. There is nothing else interesting about me. I just wanted to introduce myself. Musical tastes: punk/post-punk Reading: scifi/fantasy Favorite Authors: Tolkien, Brandon Sanderson, Elizabeth Moon, Ursula K. LeGuin I play a LOT of online tabletop. I’m currently in a VTM Dark Ages campaign and an Exalted vs WOD campaign.

    @howyadoin bc the player turned out to be unstable and odd and yes, i’d say toxic after a good few months of playing with them. I ended up in a spot where i was tying myself in knots to accommodate them and it was real freaky for me given some past stuff. Thankfully i dropped it!

    @Pavel I wanted to make a joke about Pavlovian responses and adapt it to "Pavel"ovian, but at 2:16am I couldn’t bring it all together. This is me putting you on notice that it might happen one day, or never.

    @NotSanni said: This has reminded me to back it I’m glad I posted something then, as there is only 3 days left to back it. Adding into this, I would love to see this expand into a megagame. It may take away some of the mini-games for the wizards - for instance, of the noble court positions are played by players, then the Warlock loses a chunk of what they do - but I think there is the start of a fantastic megagame hiding in here, especially since megagames tend to be a collection of various role-specific mini-games mixed with the politics of a bunch of various factions with disparate goals stuck in a big room together.
