Why do people not want to do premade plots?

Preset plots, or preset storylines?

I can understand not being wild about the former, though I'm not sure I've ever seen someone readily complain about the latter.

No Turning Back - Into the Abyss (Looking for new people!)

I'll look over stuff and consider. <3

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

I'll toss my hat here. Love the show.

Do have a question though. Going to assume there is one slayer. Is that up for application? Only wondering what I should be moving my interests towards. Perfectly fine playing a normal person or perhaps a spellcaster like Willow

@FantasyChic

Spellcaster works just fine. Realize that you'll likely have all the freedom in the world for this character type. The Hellmouth causes funky physics, so while magic may have existed once in pre-history...your character will have very much been making it up as they go along. Say they started toying with magic just as many kids do trying to make fantasy reality.

Because of the Hellmouth, the shit actually works. But only in the area of the town. Fly to New York City, and no magic. Come home, and once again magic.

Your character will literally have to write their own book of magic, even if they can somehow get their hands on a book of primordial magic...like by stealing it from the private stock of a Watcher, or just finding the right PDF online. Lots of options for character, and even universe, crafting in this setup. So just be aware of how open ended this game is likely to be on that front.

Buffy The Vampire Slayer

@Ruby so would it be like the events of the show never happened or somehow the world has gone back to only one slayer at a time? Is there a town shaped hole in the middle of California?

@Helo

Not never happened, but at a certain point the timeline was "corrected" by a Supreme Being; no Buffy, no Gang, no Hellmouth under Sunnydale. The storyline to this game deals directly with the consequences of that act by that Supreme Being. Buffy, Angel, Spike, etc, may be referenced, but more like legends from a lost, last, age than actual people from an actual fixed point in history.

@FantasyChic

One slayer, yeah, and I'll keep them a GM character due to story. Though unlike the show (at least the early seasons), the rest of the gang will have to deal with evils directly.

Mahz's Dev Journal

The server has been in a weird state for 6 hours while I slept, and yall's statuses report the same.

I rebooted the server and things are working now, but I'm looking into why.

Sorry for catching these slowly. They always seem to start when I'm asleep. I know it's really disruptive when you're trying to submit a post or something like that and it just doesn't work.

@Mahz

At least you catch them.

Marvel: Exiles

Probably get Jean up tomorrow.

Fallout: The Second Confederacy

So Fallout in the American South, with the main governing body being a revived Confederacy?

Star Trek: Shattered Mirrors

I've had a few folks drop out, recently, because of IRL.

It leaves me little choice but to shelve this for now.

Sorry, @RumikoOhara :(
