  1. Mia let the phone ring three times before hanging up with a frown. She started a text to Cath, holding the phone in one hand, thumb swiping almost automatically across the keyboard.

     

    Had they gone somewhere else? Cancelled entirely? This was supposed to be the easy class on her schedule this semester. Last time she ever trusted-

     

    The two girls looked like they'd been at the table for a while.

     

    Nerds, she thought amiably. Hopefully it was just Latin or something they were discussing, and not magic.

     

    She walked over to the table, to the dark-haired one. "Did you guys see a group of three here earlier? One of 'em would've had green skin. I was supposed to go over some math notes with 'em."

  2. The Houston Library was three floors high. Cafe on the first floor, engineering books on the second, with a staircase twisting upwards in the center. It was lit by natural light spilling in through the skylight above, highlighting the modernist architectural features like the glass-balustered staircase or the inlay running up both sides of the steps.

     

    Mia didn't care about the architecture. She cared that her study group met after her 9 am class ended, and about that stupid no-flying rule.

     

    Up the staircase, through the second floor exit from the stairwell into the library itself, and toward the area with the study tables. Which were filled up by people not in her group.

     

    She pulled out a phone and dialed, drawing glances from some of the people sitting at the tables.

  3. In the Send the Family a Message mission from Mr. G, Vitto Marcone's dialog is missing a variable. It uses he regardless of character gender.

     

    Vitto Marcone: $characterName thinks he can take the Family on our turf, huh? Well, we'll show her a thing or two.

    So....a soft control type team?

     

    Probably decently fun while levelling but once everyone hits 50 and starts to IO/Incarnate things will be dying too fast to really make much use of the fear component (keeping the team small might help this).

     

    But if its fun for you I'd do it.  Different strokes for different folks.  

    They could always turn off XP below fifty and decide not to slot sets.

  5. I'd be opposed to this. The server isnt currently specifically for RPers, and there's quite a few established non-RP SGs that can't be moved. Having a short note about each server on the selection screen would be good for new players, though.

     

    I've never actually seen behavior like this; people who have are more likely to post about it here than those who haven't.

    I get that, but what if I want to actually make progress with my character?  Maybe I'm working toward some key powers that help define/realize my character...

     

    Could you tell us a little more about your character? Maybe someone here could point you toward an SG that would fit them.

     

  7. I view level as just a game mechanic, not something that actually exists in universe - especially now that zones aren't level-locked anymore.

     

    From what I've seen of the few groups I've had/have characters in, a mix of in-base and in-mission RP seems like the norm. Some people like one, or the other, or both, so give 'em a mix.

  8. A GM would have to approve all the titles, though. Or the devs would have to implement automatic checks on whether they're compliant with the CoC and the GMs would have to deal with ones that slip through. And then there'd have to be a way to lock usage to an SG(s) or list of people.

     

    Why not just have a costume that alts can wear?

  9. I think you've put a lot of work into the RP scale. It seems to me that that would form a good upper limit for what people might use to describe their characters, but I'm not sure that amount of detail is necessary. Plus, I wouldn't say I prefer a specific tone; it depends on what fits the character concept. Even with the light/medium/heavy scale, it's a spectrum, people interpret it differently, and SGs might cater to a range of styles. I do think that choice of medium is a good thing to mention: in-game is more immersive, discord is more mobile-friendly, and the forums make it easier to look up old posts.

     

    I like a mix of long form and one-offs. give examples. server wide arcs seem like they'd be unwieldy but I've never been involved in one. Of the RPSGs I've been in, they limit arcs to the SG itself and coalition partners.

     

    TLDR: I'm not sure that much granularity is necessary. 

     

    I think what I'd want to see in RP personals ads is what tone(s) the person is looking for, what character concepts they have, RP format, and timezone.
