Cleaning House
Players/GMs: Ardweden and Zegon | Games: Lots
First, ardweden would like to say that she updated Mystery Club 2. That's twenty-two logs total sorted, titled, posted, and linked. Finally.
It's come to our attention that the links section of this journal was sorely out of date. It's supposed to be a list of all the games and rulesets we're involved in (barring one-shots), but there were things to drop and things to add. So we did! And, since this is where we ramble about roleplay (because where else are we going to ramble about roleplay?), we'll ramble about what we're dropping and adding.
Dropped Links
El WHAT ?! 2
zegon - Um, gosh. I'm not sure what to really say other than it's too bad it didn't go further. You know what I mean? I guess ND does, but... Yeah. EW2's dead.
Apocalypse Nowish
ardweden - I could rant for weeks and years on this game, but the short story is that I couldn't stand it anymore. This is the first campaign I have ever dropped. After playing for years, I had a nervous breakdown and came to the (belated) conclusion that I'm completely incompatible with the GMing for that campaign. I was basically an NPC (as nothing I did actually mattered, when certain bad guys were supposed to die and exact ways to solve problems were pretty much scripted, and I was forced to do certain things). I brought it up with the GM, and she promised to let me leave on my own terms: my character was going to be in character, and she couldn't touch that. It went well, and now I have lots and lots of stories about this campaign. (Gail rules. Still.)
Added Links
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Sanriem
zegon - First game GMed by me to have open submissions, and it promises to be a real doozie. I hope I can make it live up to expectations, but for now I gotta get the caravan off the starting line and into the world. Man, I have so many ideas for this game... You guys are gonna love it.
ardweden - My character is the popular. LAR. And summoners rock.
San
ardweden - Um, this one's looking... dark. Yes. Dark and intense. All things I like! (Though I'm not a fan of World of Darkness, thanks.) kagami is going to run this campaign with just three PCs. My character is the guy who stuffed *your* character in a trash can for being a nerd, then shoved someone else into a locker and took their lunch money. He's such a sweetheart.
SatAM: Sonic dX
zegon - Sonic using the dX ruleset and set in a (mostly) SatAM universe. You know, that old cartoon that rocked hard because it was so much darker than anything else, and was so cool when it was airing but got canned in the third season? Yeah, that one. Only we're going to try and avoid MCS and play with the second stringers... the PCs. I'm so excited about this game and FCS, I just hope I don't burn out. This game also playtests the new ruleset revision that I've been working on: Tri-Stat dX REVISED.
ardweden - I should probably finish my character for this campaign. I came up with him during a !drunk gigglefest with zegon in which I babbled about how much *fun* it would be if I could wontonly blow up buildings. Yeah, you know I take this roleplay stuff seriously.
Second String
ardweden - I guess one could say this is in reaction to the other Buffy games on sandwich.net. They're stuck in "episodes" with (in my opinion) overbearing plot trains and an inability to appreciate player ingenuity. Second String is my little Buffy campaign set in Chicago: it's looking to be fairly dark, character-centric instead of plot-centric, and it'll be all about white hats who would die ever so messily to experienced vamps. One more intro to go! It's been described as the Breakfast Club with vampires. Also, magic boobies for Jesus.
Tri-Stat dX REVISED
zegon - The bulk of this inspiration is in this ruleset, the Special Attack or Weapon Attack rules. Built to help revise the errors in the Tri-Stat dX book as well as implement new ideas and strike a greater balance. It's far from perfect and I doubt I'll ever be completely done, but I hope people are enjoying my work and try to use it. Special thanks to you guys too for telling me when I'm way out of line. ^_^_v
