While We Wait: Boredom Strikes Back

Then make one.

I can't play in a NES that I'm running, now can I?

 

[Abaddon]

Nothing "highbrow" enough for you?

Well you could...its called NPC

 

[Disenfrancised]

I know you do.

I did come away from the neses I have done with ideas on how to change the rules. Dis's rule set is quite a mature one, its also well thought out. So there are only a few thing I need to look at in more detail (or I so I hope!)

Also how can you turn down near fully automatic stat generation? Why pick an inferior system!

 

[Dachs]

Nothing "highbrow" enough for you?

It doesn't have to be highbrow, just both interesting and not crappy. Most NESes these days seem to be not crappy, but not very interesting to me.

Well you could...its called NPC

Ain't the same.

 

[Adrogans]

I know, hence the

 

[Abaddon]

Well, what do you want?

 

[Kozmos]

I'd be content with dragons on opium and Napoleon sporting outrageous biting mustaches.

 

[Abaddon]

Who wouldn't?

 

[Dachs]

I'd really like Perfectionist or das to get their NESes out of development hell.

 

[Abaddon]

Pfft, give us a setting, not a "I only play with these people" restriction

 

[Dachs]

I think it's been pretty clear that I don't do fantasy or sci-fi or non-Earth maps, and outside of that don't tend to like being forced to write stories. Nevertheless, this thread isn't my Twitter, and I'm just one person.

 

[Abaddon]

I'd just like to get more of you "aloof" players back involved/

 

[das]

I'd really like Perfectionist or das to get their NESes out of development hell.

Hahaha.

Hahaha.

Hahaha.

No, but actually I'm hoping to get to work on that any moment now. The hopefully temporary loss of my writing computer is just the latest excuse impediment on the way there. My projects may be in hell, but they did have development.

[Kentharu]

Don't use TVtropes to try and weasel your way out of your own NES Dachs. I demand you continue your ATL and then do a NES on it.

Not that you are a good mod or anything.

 

[spryllino]

I'd run a historical NES ... eventually ... if someone would recommend a setting that fitted in conveniently with something that I actually know stuff about, viz. hellenistic times or the 16th-17th centuries.

 

[Immaculate]

do a hellenistic one with each player playing a city-state. I call corinth.

 

[spryllino]

Corinth was never independent in proper hellenistic times; I mean after Alexander. An althist of a hellenistic variety would be good anyway. But I'm too busy to do one soon. Eventually is the crucial word.

 

[Disenfrancised]

The very idea of a historical NES is an insult to the rich tapestry of the human past - far better to have scifi and fantasy* where the arbitary nature of player contributed stories and rulesets is a valid choice
