i miss superhero games that were, like, actually using comics and the Marvel or DC or, whatever universe and not just a really vague idea of comics but mostly movies plus thirty different cartoons from 40 years ago and maybe this book i read and what about this one video game and and and and

anyway there’s a dumb comic i love called IDES OF BLOOD and it’s about Julius Caesar conquering Dacia because vampires are real and then there are openly vampires everywhere in Rome and that should be a WoD game

@MisterBoring

no in this Caesar returns from the dead as the reborn Dracula and fights a Praetorian vampire by turning into a werewolf-werebat-weresnake and stakes him by throwing a crucified prisoner, it’s definitely oWoD

There was that Legally Distinct Not-Really Zombies game set in Canada where people got infested with worms instead of your usual virus and/or Last of Us Fungus. But it was tricksy.

Tricksy how?

For my own contribution, I would love to see a Dystopia Rising MU. I loved the hell out of that LARP when I was young and could run around the woods all night.

In my experience, the head ST disappeared at a critical time in player retention, and the rest of us had nearly nothing to RP about. If something was going on behind the scenes, I was oblivious to it.

I don’t remember its name, and it seems nobody else knows it either. The game closed in less than 2 months.

@Jumpscare The game-owner was Tek with a new handle on. The game went under a few weeks after they were outed for lying to everyone.

Are you Tek? https://brandmu.day/topic/53/mu-peeves-thread/1490?_=1760278262487

Oh, thank you for finding that! It explains everything.

@InkGolem I could technically run an official one, honestly, if I felt like it.

But I don’t have the coding expertise or the time.

InkGolem

@Redbird

As in the official tabletop system, or?

Redbird

@InkGolem Well, the IP rights are no longer with Onyx Path; they expired and moved back to the original IP-holder, who I do work for.

InkGolem

@Redbird Man, have I got some Pucci stories from back in the day

From discussion on another thread, I’m now curious which US states have never had a MU* with them as their primary location. Here’s what I found from a cursory search.

California - Liberation
Colorado - Denver
Louisiana - Black Bayou
Virginia - Keys

@Jumpscare There was that shifter game set in Wyoming

@Jumpscare Aaaaaalaaaaabama, Alaska, Arizona (I almost marked this because I forgot Reno was in Nevada), Arkansas, ~~California~~ (Several), ~~Colorado~~ (Sheltering Skies, Shadowrun Denver, others), Connecticut. ding-ding-ding Delaware, ~~Florida~~ (I played on an oWoD game in Florida before I made it to CoH, but this was years ago), Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, ~~Illinois~~(surely there’s been Chicago, right?), Indiana! Ding-ding-ding…

@Jumpscare

I was working on a game a few years back set in Utah about the fight against a secret society of supernatural body jumpers hidden within a large, prominent religion here but in the end figured it would be more headache than it was worth, lol.

but I still think SLC would be a fascinating setting for urban fantasy/horror.

MisterBoring

I remember a game in the late 90s that was set in a weird small town, and if anyone asked if the game was set in X state, the answer was always yes.

Hobbie

I’ve never seen a game set in North Dakota.

I was about to say I’ve never seen a game set in Australia either but an old memory is tickling my brain on that one.

@Hobbie Minot, North Dakota. Ground Squirrels of Darkness!

Everyone’s dead by the end of the first week.

@labsunlimited The second someone spins up a World of Mild Discomfort set in Minot I am there.
