    Serves me right for seeing what would happen if I lifted the registration freeze.

    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.

  • Conversations and questions about current, upcoming, and advertised games and the hobby as a whole.

    Alas, most research I’ve seen thus far has been on clinical applications of LLMs rather than their clinical impact.

    @sao said in “All the World’s a MUSH”: Genre as Destiny in Collaborative Roleplay Behaviour:

    @dvoraen the part where you had to acknowledge how many years you have been in this hobby

    “Yes.”

    Next question.

    @catzilla I misunderstood, I thought this was your played-by list. I also played with Isrieal, iirc that changeling was originally a vampire on a game before the concept was reworked.

    @somasatori Yeah, I hate abstract economic systems as well. Fluff needs crunch to support it. Without the crunch, it’s all just “I shot you with my laser. Nuh-uh, because I had my laser deflector field up!”. The only abstract money I have been somewhat OK with was based on cascading dice, where items had a cost and you had to roll over the cost with the die your current money die. If you failed, you still bought it, but you dropped a die size. If it was impossible to roll over the cost (so costs equal to or higher than your current die size), you simply couldn’t buy it. It made you somewhat take into consideration the economics of things. “Hmmm, I have a d10 money die. Do I want to risk buying that cost 8 item?”

    @Testament But is the D&D related to the setting of Seven Nations?!

    One of our own needs a helping hand. Lem’s done a lot for the MU* community, and I figure it’s worth asking if we can help him out in turn. I won’t out who he is here, but he’s a great coder and a lovely guy who’s helped a lot of games.
