LOL. I’m being such a bully about it that they still haven’t told me the IP because then I’m unstoppable.
But the lore/setting/theme-y stuff we’re workshopping on Discord while our coders figure out how they wanna put together sheets and assign splats is at least danged entertaining.
Oh. And. Uh…
Also…
The Appalachian-set Curseborne game I’m bullying y’all into building.
And probably the maybe possible potential of a what if the stories are all true reimagining.
Cooperative-style players are same team(s) against the environment. Some dirt and grit to the surrounding world itself, but the day to day stories are the normal, regular people just trying to figure it all out.
I can work in almost any theme. I just want the write people to be co-writing about it with.
As I said earlier:
@Jenn said in Ot The Real, Gorilla Nems Ban Thread:
Shit like this why we have Wrath month with two brick handbags rather than state-sponsored Pride.
He’s no one’s first rodeo, and we’ve got way more joy than hate can ever stop.
Not to mention, plenty of soup. For our families. Once the bricks run out.
Because honestly, Pride has always been a riot, and those of us on the left have mutual aid running way deeper than anyone else’s mouths. It’s sad some folks are still in their little hate bubbles. But the rest of us have learned how to work over/around/through them generations ago. 
Yup. Like, ok. Thanks for noticing! hair toss
Nothin’ screams hot and bothered like coming back for more, babes. It’s ok. We’ll keep fighting for your rights alongside our own anyway, like decent human beings do, regardless of the extra layers of disdain.
Someday, you’ll realize it’s not the woke leftist leaving you alone and lonely, just your own lack of humanity and inability to recognize the myth of rugged individualism locking you into a hate-filled echo chamber.
Good luck, my dude. That prison is way harder to break out of than the closet ever was.

@Redbird I’ve missed you. 
I hope life has been kind. And if kindness is too high a hope, at least survivable.
Did the radium girls and their glowing watch-face paint brushes teach us nothing?
There was so much GOOD history. Why do we only keep repeating the inanity?
Deals with very heavy physical health issues, please avoid is such topics are triggering for you.
I’m in a red state that has gone far redder as of this election, medicaid is openly on the chopping block during session one post-inauguration. Project 2025 has Medicare and Social Security on the chopping blocks. Currently, I’m lucky enough to be dying comfortably in my own home with all my comfort items, puts, and people. But if I lose my insurance and disability income? I’m looking at a very different end to my life some day, and that terrifies me to my core.
I’m not playing it, for a mix of reasons, but mostly because poor hand/eye coordination, pain, and focus/fatigue/energy issues.
But it looks cool af, and I would LOVE to see others playing it. So. If any of y’all are game streamers who like folks asking silly questions about shit while you’re off adventuring, I’d be down to tag along from time to time!
Take the discount. Enjoy the bagels. Life is short and precious, and if you get to pay a few less dimes for a few years extra? You’ve more than earned the discounts in other ways. Rock the white beard and pay no attention to the rest of it.
I’ve never been so grateful for cosmic timing in my life. So glad my one night offline for like, a month now, came just in time to manage to miss that undesired blast from a long ago past.
@L-B-Heuschkel
For large asynch scenes, I’ve found really great luck with 6-8 people in them if it has a GM or ST involved. I use the layout of 1-2 GM poses per day, every 12 or 24 hours. In between each GM pose, every other player is allowed 1-2 poses in any order they want to do so in between. People know to check in either once or twice a day as pre-agreed and no one has to wait to post for ‘their turns’ and can do it at their own conveniences in between each story move forward via scene runner.
For me… I actually don’t care. I love a slow asynch with a pose every three days as people have time. I love a snappy live that kills a few hours and is fun and done. I think all kinds of scenes and styles have their benefits and their detriments, and I’m happy to collaborate into the styles that work best. My only peeve is when folks aren’t honest about what’s going on or why.
Of course… There are also then the moments when it all goes off the rails and you spend 4 days with broken internet angry that it’s not your pose in like, twelve scenes and they’re typing at everyone under the sun EXCEPT YOU only to come to a month later to realize your internet was not functioning and it was your pose all along in each of them and you’ve been passive aggressive snarking your friends for a week with broken internet while they’re waiting on you to get your shit together… And after a month, you do, but forgot what was happening prior and oh, hell.
It’s been a year, y’all. 2024 is holding 2012’s beer and I’m scared. If I owe you poses, poke me. If I’ve been a dumbass and owe you apologies, poke me. If we’re all just having a bad time and need hugs and support and understanding, poke me.
