It really feels like Ganymede has just decided to let Derp drive it into the ground out of some need to avoid losing face from reversing a decision.

Well, I’m reducing my MSB activity to lurking now. Gany just basically said that the only person who needed to be apologized to on MSB for what happened was Derp.

I get two things from reading stuff from this thread.

1. That I definitely am not the target audience for Lords & Ladies roleplay.

2. That Arx, even with all of it’s trouble throughout its history, is a pretty good example of ‘doing it right’ in our hobby.

Congrats to all you Arx players and staff for doing cool stuff.

@hobos

Please stop. If you actually care, stop, step away, and come back in a few days or even a week or two. You’re making yourself look bad with each new post.

Bring back Victorian era drug problems!

I’m gonna have to run a one shot of the MMPR RPG in his honor.

I want a post apocalyptic game surrounding the events at one of the last settlements in the world struggling to survive against all manner of obstacles and threats.

Well, after that interaction with Ghost and some other odd shit I’ve seen today, I added MSB to my firewall block list. I don’t need that shit in my life anymore.

If I’m in the mood to do space trucking, I’m usually not trying to RP. I’m just trying to chill and get loads of neutrino power cells for battleship guns from one side of the galaxy to the next, in the most efficient way possible.

I’m also not trying to stare at a wall of text while doing it, so I’m usually playing Elite or any number of other various space sims out there that accomplish the same stuff.

@Rusalka This reminds me of a LARP I attended where one character was mute, only spoke through texting people or by drawing / writing messages on his iPad, and was constantly trying to make a connection with a faction that were all luddites to the last person and refused to even let the character come near. At the end of the LARP a lot of people went to dinner at the same place and I overheard them talking about how they felt like they had wasted their money because they didn’t get the RP they were looking for.

@Jennkryst There’s also just the Altered Carbon RPG, Traveller (well, certain Traveller settings), and Hellas: Worlds of Sun & Stone.

@BloodAngel Seconded. Really also anything published by Critical Reflex. Mouthwashing, Lunacid, Arctic Eggs…

They have a lot of awesome stuff.

@Sammich I wish I could get more teams in Rivals that would actually push the objective. It’s really sad to see a Hulk or Wolverine standing off the objective, punching the air, then after the match, they’ve got 0 time on objective and complain that the rest of the team sucked.

My current peeve is that my life is so screwed up right now I barely have time for random computer & video games let alone the brain power required for RP.

From a conversation with a few people I know IRL: When people create amazing story points for their character or for the world in general only to somehow completely draw a blank when you ask them to explore that further.

“I really like how you established your character was secretly undermining the Lord of the West Rivers, can we do some more undermining plot stuff with that?”

“Wait what? I have no idea what you are talking about and am not interested in that in the least.”

“Ok. Well… ugh.”

I’m not, but it’s because for whatever reason, Dragon Age hasn’t captured my attention in any of the games in the series. Can’t explain it, the games are mostly solid and have a well written world, but playing them doesn’t trigger that part of my brain that makes me want to keep going. (Tangentially, that same part of my brain also requires 100% completion of a game when it triggers.)

I played the first game all the way to the Werewolf dungeon (which I believe is roughly halfway through the main plot), and have skipped the other games in the series altogether.

As good as Bioware games are, the last one I actually played to completion was Jade Empire. Bioware just never finds that magic thing my weird brain needs to actually play through them.

@Kestrel It’s always been my understanding that Jill never gets to the point of having an actual character anywhere, just making strange conversation OOC as a guest bit and then dipping. I might be wrong though.

@Pavel Is it an original Model-M, or one of the newer clones, like the Unicomp?
