I’ve been very lucky in this hobby to find someone who is always a ‘yes’ to my crazy ideas, whether they are in personal RP or as a GM. Last night highlighted this when I asked her to play a mole person, and she immediately jumped in.

So yeah, more generally: finding people in this hobby who are always excited about writing.

where can I play a mole person

[dvoraen]

I’m waiting for @Panic to explain more about the mole people too.

[Panic]

@devu @dvoraen they’re just the NPCs we did for a plot scene. No actual playable mole people here. Sorry!

Meeting new players you’ve never RP’d with and realizing you click really well with them.

That hasn’t happened in awhile. It’s nice.

I sometimes think I’ve come across every possible long-term player in MUSHdom but then every new game I try proves me wrong, sometimes from really surprising places. It’s great! Reminds me of why I still do this thing on public games.

[Livia]

@Testament I’ve been feeling this too lately! Meeting a bunch of people I’ve never RP’d with before, and it seems like it’s going well!

Just sittin’ around waiting to see if someone drops something cool in my lap and someone drops something cool in my lap.

eta: I know damned well I shouldn’t be just sittin’ around waiting, I should be proactive and engaging, but IT HAPPENED ANYWAY!

Having a hard and reserved character, then encountering other characters who are able to slowly but surely crack that shell.

As somone who tends to play characters that are very different in private than they are in public… yes.

It’s bittersweet when a game closes its doors, even if it is for the very best of reasons. But it’s sweet enough that it still makes the good things list if you had fun there. If you told good stories. If you got to indulge in the #aesthetic. If you met some amazing fucking people.

Which I did.

Pour one out for the games that don’t quite make it to launch, but it’s still more sweet than bitter.

[Snackness]

When you’re not at all sure that something you worked really hard on is going to land well…and it lands really fucking well.

I’ve had a vague roadmap in my mind of where I’d like a long-running character to be by the time their story eventually ends, and I couldn’t have ever predicted how those milestones were eventually met.

Today… I don’t want to say they received closure, but were the mantle to be set down right now in this moment (not saying I want to), it would be on a really nice note, which is all I could wish for an OC that was created in… like, 2016 or some bullshit… who’s been put through the fucking wringer in a lot of different ways. I’m really grateful for their story going to a peaceful, positive place.
