Lords & Ladies game
The Scorpion book for the FFG L5R game is set to drop soon-ish, somebody do the thing!

I had a dream that @RightMeow and @tsar and I all joined a game.
It was like a mystery sandbox. We all created characters. @tsar was the male hero, @RightMeow was the desperately tragic heroine, and I was playing a cop who never rose above basic level cop. We ended up buddy-copping to solve a murder the rest od rhe city decided to pretend didn’t exist.
And I was sad it didn’t actually exist.
-
I’d play that game. I just hope to write another ‘series’ that blows up all over the grid because I got cold and your grumpy char sent me a cloak. Good times.
Also, side note. Awwwww you included me in your dreamscape.
I’m undeserving of that, but I appreciate it. -
I wish my dreams were like that. Mine always involve having to fight entropy with my third-form science teacher Mr. Wilson.
-
@RightMeow lol
-
I rarely remember my dreams. Most of the ones I do remember are work dreams. I miss having the vivid, lucid dreams of my late teens and twenties.
-
The most recent dream I can remember is: A total stranger abandoned me at a Best Buy because I wouldn’t help them steal car stereo equipment from the store, and so I just hung out in the store until it got dark so I could go home without melting in the heat.

My wishlist:
-
A VTM game set somewhere interesting. I’ve been working on a setting/ruleset called ‘Olympus Mons by Night’ for >12 years now. I’m too old to run a mush, no freetime, but I’d love to see something interesting. And not multisphere. That NEVER works.
-
Scifi space opera where I can be a blue/green/purple skinned alien girl and do mad science or psychic bullshit.
-
I’d like to see a REGULAR FUCKING TABLETOP FANTASY GAME IN A REGULAR CITY, based not around tabletop stuff but like - game of thrones style. Not low magic. More like…what if BG3 was a mush? Or Spelljammer? None of you will know what Spelljammer is, I’m old.
-
A technocracy game where players are ONLY technocrats, and the real life world is so messed up because the Traditions took over behind the scenes and are spreading anti-vaxx stuff/anti-science stuff/chaos to try and wear down the Consensus, so your kinda like scrappy x-com agents fighting against the anti-science crusaders of the Hemetic Order.
“Not gay as in happy but queer as in fuck you.”

or, for that matter, an actual X-Com mush. But VINTAGE.
Like you X-com call of cthulhu bullshit while pretending to be ordinary people in 1940s noir chicago or whatever.

Multi-sphere works, you just have to scratch off the ‘everyone hates everyone else’ badness.

There is a new Star Wars game, and another in the works, but might not count.

I’ve pitched Spelljammer a few times, everyone in the hobby is old. Okay, most people in the hobby are old. Definitely old enough to know about it because the terrible 5e version dropped after COVID, plus the Spelljammer ship that showed up in BG3.
… the problem is going to always be what ruleset. D&D 4e is the only truly balanced version of D&D, and that balance comes with a cost (which is most people hate it).

While I agree that everyone overlooks the bad side of the Traditions, there’s plenty of bad sides of the Technocracy there to make everyone being on thier side a bit… tricksy.
Mummy Pun? MUMMY PUN!

I have never seen multitheme on an oWOD mush really enhance the game. It can work on say…nWOD, but not on oWOD.
Mages in particular just don’t work well with other themes. The problem is usually mage players. And there’s no…reason? to have vampires and garou together.
These games almost always work better as single-sphere games focused on that sphere. Again, for oWOD.
nWOD works well multi-sphere, works GREAT multi sphere, tbh. Its a much better game for a MUSH, imo, though I personally prefer the theme of oWOD.
That’s just my opinion.
You are correct about ‘what ruleset’ regarding dnd, and also why people (including myself) hate 4e. I don’t know what the answer to that would be.
Regarding Star Wars:
I’ve played SW games for 20 years and I’m a bit burnt out on it
