    @Yam said in Bad Stuff Happening IC:

    I think negative bleed is less of a problem than someone just being a butt about things.

    I sort of disagree with this, but I think it’s because different people and groups handle negative bleed differently.

    Some circles take negative bleed and resolve it in a healthy manner, so it’s not a big problem.

    Other groups (including a few major LARP organizations I can think of) seem to delight in using negative bleed to drive perceived rivals away to make sure their characters are dominant in all situations.

    that’s literally what yam was saying though: the issue isn’t the feeling itself, it’s if people act like a butt because of the feeling. you could be feeling bleed like CRAZY, utterly miserable because of the stuff happening to your character, but also being self-aware enough to take a break and keep it off the game and away from the other players

    “handling negative bleed differently” is the point

    @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.

    @Warlander I have manically drifted to multiple other ideas, Im sure I will wander back towards Star Wars at some point, though, so if someone prepares the code in advance and its ready to go the moment I am back in high-energy Star Wars mode, huzzah! Until then, there are like 6 and a half other settings in my brainstorm discord Im bouncing between.

    Yeah, I can’t say I was psyched ot see it was 5E but it’s not a deal breaker either. It’s weird because we live in a great time for IP-based RPGs(Transformers, GI Joe, Power Rangers, and now Thundercats), but I’m not a huge fan of any of the systems behind them. The exception being Star Trek. I do like the 2D20 system.
