      Watching players dive hard into not just exploring plot stuff, but also running stuff in order to tie into metaplot you’re real excited about is so fucking fun.

        Non-specific but I’m having a lot of fun lately! Things are chill, I can find RP when I want RP, people are friendly and talented and give as much as they take.

        Novel idea that a hobby is relaxing and fun, I KNOW.

          I’m having fun RPing when I can cram it in, accepting the new forms it’s taking.

            Having a really good night of storytelling on your game where reveals are dropped, shit hits the fan, and you’re getting multiple reactions of “ohhhhhhhh shhhhhhiiiiiit” while your game-running partner is getting their justified praise.

            Occasionally this hobby is really fun.

            In Occam I trust.

              CAN’T POST IN THE GAME AD THREAD so I came here:

              @Coin It’s so fucking charming to read about the games in our hobby like this. IDK. It just gets me. I’ve been enjoying these and I’m looking forward to the next with Faraday.

                When you open a random scene with an absurd premise, and everyone who ends up joining is 100% on the same page and fully committed to ‘yes, and’-ing to compound the absurdity, resulting in multiple actual laugh out loud moments.

                  An idea so ridiculous, so absurd, so utterly batshit insane that you don’t even seriously suggest it because you assume no one’s going to go in on it…and they go in on it.

                    This is a double edged sword when your plot runner starts taking your joke NPC name suggestions seriously and you end up with a villain whose name is ‘Stephyn with a y because the y makes it fantasy’

                      @spiriferida better or worse than when your plot runner doesn’t ask you for NPC name suggestions and accidentally names three different NPCs Aaron

                      let it be a challenge to you

                                Sometimes there’ll be a player you really like that you just kinda lose touch with after you both lose the connective tissue of the game you were on at any given time. MUSHing is a transitory hobby, I try not to get too down about it.

                                Then 15 years will pass.

                                Then you meet a player you really like a new game and you both think you’re a TOTALLY NEW FUN PERSON.

                                Then one day you’re talking about old games and you realize that, in fact, you played together quite a lot on that one random game 15 years ago, and the internet has now brought you back into proximity for the first time in this decade+.

                                Sometimes the smallness of the hobby is actually nice.

                                I want something else to get me through this
                                Semi-charmed kinda life, baby, baby
                                I want something else, I'm not listening when you say good-bye

                                  @Third-Eye This happened to me on a game that I’m on right now. Started RPing with the person, was having so much fun with the scenes. Then a group of us starting talking OOC and I realized that I had RPed with that person about… a decade ago, I want to say? And I loved the RP then, too.

                                  So it was a really nice surprise to connect with them again. I wish I ran into more people that I used to RP with years and years ago. I’ve lost touch with so many people.

                                    drama

                                    got in touch with a couple of buds that have been on a Discord server, snagged them, dangled the carrot of cooperative writing and we revisited an old idea –

                                    (remember the intricate, elaborately awful villains and champions you used to invent when you first learned to game?

                                    do you sometimes indulge in the guilty fantasy that now that you’re older and wiser you could do something really fun with those concepts?)

                                    boop. embrace the cringe with nuance, right?

                                    I made a sandbox and I’m outlining plot.

                                    they | them

                                      And thanks to @Roz for being very brave and doing the things I was putting off. 😄

                                          I used to check BMD daily because there were so many problems in the hobby that there would inevitably be new fireworks going off each week. I’ve always seen this place as a valuable resource to warn and discuss.

                                          But for most of 2024, there have barely been any red flags anywhere.

                                          Did we do it? Is it truly a brand mu day?

                                          It feels nice.
