If you ever do anything in Alabama, I have a shot ton of pictures of downtown Birmingham from when I was gonna make a modern urban fantasy game there, I’d be happy to fonate to you.

Angels/Demon setting game, In Nomine, Lucifer, etc. I once had an idea for a game where people where either angels or demons and everyone who app’s a character was assigned a human NPC they either had to save or corrupt. But never got very far with it. Group apps for pairs could share the same NPC.

A Nobilis server?

I would love to see this, but at the same time, feel like the flighty nature of most MU Players, wouldn’t that just fall apart almost over night? I could see it as a 100% roster game, but if it was all player created Nobles & Imperators, I don’t see how you survive the churn rate most games have.

Cobalt

@MisterBoring Nah, I’d do in nomine. Or something custom. And while furloughed Cobalt has time to do things… Furloughed Cobalt also has times for Legends ZA.

I’ve been plugging away at a framework that includes In Nomine, but with a chronicles of darkness hat, because I enjoy angels and demons and Pyrephox clued me into the system.

But faction RP is not for the faint of heart, and I’m a pretty soft yam. I keep imagining my dear friends getting displeased by the imbalance of it all. <<;

@Yam No Yam, I won’t be lead into temptation.

(Oh god, the temptation.)

So there is this program called MegaMek where you can do Battletech fights, and the people who maintain it are also working on a browser version that can maybe possibly be linked to either MU-side tracker of who owns what, or possibly to one of their other programs, MekHQ, that also tracks repair time and NPC/Characters who work on what, it’s fine.

So with all of that in mind, of course my brain skips away from Battletech back towards the less crunchy/more narrative Exalted: Essence rules (further complicated because the Infernals Kickstarter is starting up in a few days).

L5R is still on the list somewhere, the three are fighting for attention pretty regularly now, so for now I just poke at Ares code to try and make it go.

Exalted: Essence

I was so happy when Essence came out. I like Exalted as a setting, but omg are the mechanics of base Exalted so overly complicated.

Jenn

@Cobalt

Do. It!

@MisterBoring Overly complicated is fine, my issue was more the huge disparity between your Solar Tier and your Terrestrial Tier, which Essence does a pretty good job of closing down a bit.
