@Prototart I mean…I think that’s a pretty reasonable setting on a ‘Het-meter’. I’m overwhelmed just reading it let alone living it so you have nothing to apologize for.

Maybe one day we’ll have a superhero game not run by abusers.

oh hi
there is no “good” Age of Heroes game
the “good” one is run by Chaucer from HAM, an abusive, self-obsessed weirdo who has spent years enabling creeps like everyone’s favorite Randian misogynist furry, Vorpal, who once tried to Power Word me in DMs using the wrong name and bullied someone off of HAM for liking a comic they hated
I’ve heard of Vorpal before and not good things, but to your point it looks like Vorpal has come over to the game https://superheroesmush.com/char/vorpal

His presence anywhere should be taken as a massive red flag. I don’t think he plays anywhere but Chaucer games now cus nobody else will put up with someone going on an hour long rant about the supremacy of the free market when someone complains about their health insurance.

I know of one in the works, but I honestly think there is something about the genre. I largely agree with Alan Moore’s perspective on it.

Populations of players follow a genre, even if individual staffers are new and don’t know what they’re getting into, so I think this is realistic rather than cynical. Sometimes you can attract new people but mostly if you want to play in a particular pool with a MUSH history, you have to tank dealing with the people who’ve been on these games for decades and possibly contributed to their problems.

There’s always been a thing where games were basically the same staffers and the same players, usually holding the same characters. And the past, whatever, fifteen years it’s basically all been the same theme, too. I miss actual Marvel games and DC games and like places that had canon cutoffs but I don’t think anybody’s even tried that since I was a teenager.
With Great Power is Ares and it’s very Async-focused but I really like one of the heads there, Grackle.
