HOW'S THE GAME?

[paradisamods]

It's time for another round of Game Discussion, also known as

HOW'S THE GAME?

Here we come together to discuss the game, its plots, the settings, and just about anything we can think of that we'd like to talk about, expand upon, improve, change, etc.

This is not an HMD for players and their characters; this should be about the game's function as a whole and not the people in it. If there is something you feel is absolutely necessary to address that involves a specific person, please IM a mod first to discuss it. We can be reached at valawie (Valerie), fan of todd (TF), or never die ftw (Ashley).

Anonymous will be on for this round. Sock journals are still allowed.

Please feel free to bring up any game-related topic you'd like to discuss. All topics will be linked in the main post.

Old Vegas World change

[lord_wizard]

I've brought this up before but haven't had much time to develop what is basically a reconstruction of Vegas as it was in the early 50's (I have a whole folder of reference sites and nothing else). Outside of that task, I've been going back and forth on the idea of whether or not to include a plot. The older world changes had them, though I never experienced them myself, and I tend to enjoy plots with a bit more structure as opposed to a total sandbox. A sandbox, however, would be easier to run.

For a plot though, I'm just not sure what it would be or how to run it outside of it vaguely involving the residents in opposition to the mafia. It could be partially avoidable for those that want a more casual experience, but given that, how to make people participate at all?

Input? Help? Suggestions?

What if there was like an Ocean's Eleven type plot?

Alternately, Austin Powers (since Dr Evil's HQ was in Vegas of course).

OH MY GOD I WOULD BE SO INTO THIS. Vegas history is so cool.

Plot is a good idea, but I just woke up, so I can't think of anything more specific than "mafia," either. But I'll think on it, because now I want this to happen so bad, lol.

I figured some of you history types could help me figure this out. Take your time. I've been stumbling over his idea for months, so it's not going anywhere. :3

Yes. Yesssss. >DDD

In my incoherent half-asleep shambling mess state, my only thought was RAT PACK. I will def. see if I can come up with something a little more usable later today.
