New Concept
-
@Pavel I’m doing the five boroughs as the setting. I was going to have poverty as part of it, given I’m starting with Socialites as the kick-off to the story for the catalyst for the game.
-
@BloodAngel Everything I know about the United States is something I’ve learned against my will, so I shall just nod and smile and pretend to know what you’re talking about.
-
@Pavel Gangs of New York. Is a good example of it. New York city, is the setting. Not the same year.

I think @L-B-Heuschkel mentioned it above, having a survey or a system for people to opt-in or opt-out is something I will be adding to the game. That way, I know which of the plots people would be excited about and two willing to go through, I do want to run this as I stated as a story-heavy game, so such debates truly are important to what I will be doing over time. I love running plots, and being able to have players shape the world as it moves forward is one of my major goals as a game runner.

@farfalla I mean it was a political question and social-based talk, that is filled with passion on both sides of it. I know this was coming when I went with the setting of 1915, it would have been worst with my first concept of doing it in the middle of the civil war. So, I know this would happen better before the game launch than getting derailed during play.
-
@BloodAngel Wait, how is it 1920s era if it’s in 1915?
-
@BloodAngel I should’ve specified that it was getting too political about contemporary politics in a way that wouldn’t inform your game at all. Contemporary immigration debates aren’t going to be helpful here, lol.
-
@Roz Yeah starting in 1915. It’s up above, might have been missed. But my goal is to advance time using seasons, so we can slowly build out as a game from there. Using an event in WW 1, as the moment that changes the world, combined with other few events to start the Alterative History line of the game.
-
Now to start the process of building! Got it all up and running now!
-
@BloodAngel Yay! And maybe some admin could split off the last few pages to a new thread - “Historical Games Round 75” or something - so it’s not cluttering up your game post.
-
@BloodAngel I look forward to seeing what you come up with
-
Forked off a bunch of the historical stuff to https://brandmuday.mythicus.net/topic/291/historical-games-round-75/86 but not all of it. Some of it is pretty embedded in early posts.
-
@Tez Thank you!
-
Very much on the back burner, might not happen at this point. Real life has once more blown up.
-
I want to tell stories, grant stories I have this plotted out now from 1915-1965 with stories and seasons, everything is ready to go on the plot side of things. Have the desc all ready to go, and have NPC’s built.
I am ready to set it up but I just need some help with Ares Q and A, showing me what does what. I can handle it once it’s live, but might have questions on how to get it to function and the such.
-
@BloodAngel Are you on the Ares discord? They’ve been quite helpful to other game runners from what I’ve seen.
-
@Tez Yeah I’ll poke it!
