  • Rough idea of a system-agnostic character form... CHARACTER.NAME: NICKNAMES/USERIDS: PROFESSION: AFFILIATIONS: SKILLS/TALENTS: PLOT.AVAILABILITY: INITIAL.CREATOR: AGE: GENDER: HEIGHT: WEIGHT: HAIR: EYES: BUILD: ORIGIN: RESIDENCE: NATIONALIT…
  • Let's see. I can think of 4 basic classes (values for this flag): Personal, Private, Peripheral and Public. And instead of Permission Levels maybe we call it something like "Plot Availability". Personal = No other players may use this character…
  • Here's a player-facing feature: Character Permission Levels (or something catchier that means the same thing): A UI feature that allows the character creator to indicate whether or not, and to what degree, this character may be controlled by others…
  • Perhaps I should state explicitly that I am as interested in the Reader's experience as I am with the Players'. This informs some of the features I envision, and may have been taken for granted when I first wrote them. Anyway, yeah.
  • I respect that, Rich. You know this is about more than just what went down in the chat, but you already have my feedback and I'm not going to rehash the details in this thread. We're good. I'm still amazed by how much you do, and you're spread to…
  • Having slept on it, the following things seem true today: 1. My debt right now is to Paul. But I don't think I can pay him back within this game. 2. I can help you better as an MC by not being a player. You don't take well to MC advice being off…
  • I do give him points for being able to look at it, however. I respect that. In fact that's why I'm posting here now. There are many threads on SG and other sites about why PBF "fails". Rich has participated in several of those threads. In them …
  • On the other hand, now that this is a public issue, perhaps what Rich is offering me is the opportunity to make him handshot. So I can beat him up a little bit, make him feel guilty, get a jillion XP for free or whatever. There's a certain fairnes…
  • Oh my... A public apology was not required - unless you think it will serve to help ward off rising popular support for some sort of internet-based "Let's Disrespect Tod" movement. (I have already lived through one of those in my time, it was call…
  • Glance at Fall. I'm just as excited as he is. I make a gesture with palms down, meaning "settle, settle, let's be cool here..." and lean forward to the mic. "Thank you very much, Hazard, that was inspirational. It says here you're from Las Vegas…
  • You're up, Hazard!
  • I explain the situation to Hot as we enter the theater and sit next to Fall. Let her know who we lost, and how the audition process works. I also let Fall know that I'm looking for unusual talents as well as just dancing. Right now there's an u…
  • "Yeah Grave, I think we do need him. Could you tell NoShoes that I'm asking after him? I want to thank him but I can't get away from these auditions right now. No rush though, any time today is fine." I offer Hot one arm and gesture toward the th…
  • "Oh, one more thing..." Turning back to Coming Soon but raising my voice a little so others in the general area can hear the question: "Anybody seen NoShoes lately?"
  • "You are a godzone miracle man, Coming. If you lost that little stinger, I might even give you a kiss." Turn back and beam a big smile at Hottopic. "Hotness, I had a short break and I spent it all on you. Care to come see some of the wannafreaks…
  • Nice. And good to hear. The complications are the plot, you know. :-)
  • Hi Niko! Love ya Cache! How are you doing?
  • (Rolled: 2d6+3. Rolls: 6, 6. Total: 15)
  • "No problems there. Except that for now, there aren't any tech people to be reporting to you. Maybe we can hire those three little pups that follow you around?" That was a joke. I like children more in theory than in practice. It occurs to me t…
  • Wow. I like her. She's smart. Ok, I'll try honesty. I push my hands deep into my pockets and pull them inside-out, exaggerating for comedic effect. I'm imitating this character I've seen many pictures of: a black and white guy they called "The …
  • [Aside: Manipulate is +1 XP for Jet.]
  • Manipulate. (Rolled: 2d6+3. Rolls: 4, 5. Total: 12)
  • I can't answer questions about pay right now. Wave that aside. "It's still in the preliminary stages, of course. Pure brainstorm, you see. Plenty of time to determine the details. But YOU..." Turning to face Hot directly, I touch her gently wi…
  • "Good question. I'm still trying to figure that out myself." I glance back at Coming, giving him the infamous Jet Black one finger wait signal. "As for your other question... It's a clear blue sky, Hot. Absolute void. In fact..." I lower my v…
  • Beneath the big burning question in my mind, and beneath the pressing issue of my rent which is due tonight, there is another idea that I have barely had time to acknowledge. But the moment I see Hottopic, that thought comes rushing to my awareness…
  • "What's up, my man?" I'm smiling to keep him warm. My smile is totally fake but I'm damn good at it. Coming is a good source of info due to his location. Head on over to him.
  • "Not bad isn't good enough to replace Jules" I say. Fall winces. It's true, but the moment I say it, I wish I hadn't. "I'm sorry Fall, but you know it's true. Yes, let's take ten. I need some air. In fact, make it fifteen." I hand him my note…
  • If this happened yesterday, it would have been organized. But without Mari or Jules I'm forced to lean on Fall for judgements about dancers and acrobats. Which is fine, I love Fall, he's amazing onstage, but he comes off really strong sometimes an…
  • I think you can end that session there, Rich. Jet is unresponsive.
  • A full house for our monthly extravaganza, standing room only, and two jingle in the box. This makes about as much sense as Mari's books. Five lost in one day. Same number we lost in Tucson when we were firebombed by the Sadisticats, absolutely u…
