Very Hostile Work Environments
Hi. I run a game on Discord, Tuesday nights, 7 PM Eastern. It’s a fantasy game…sometimes. It’s sci-fi set in Shanghai…well, maybe next week. It was a western a week ago, I think, or was that gothic horror?
The game has you as a special agent, traveling to alternate histories for a massive, multi-reality travel agency. Because all possibilities are possible, you can be whatever you want (within reason, about as powerful as an X-Man/Teen Titan and you must appear as human or at least as something that’s common in reality like a squirrel or something). Our group has a Fae cowboy, and a dieselpunk femme fatale. In the past we've had robots, intelligent sand, hive-mind insect swarms and so on. You come up with the concept and we’ll make it happen. We prefer your character appear human-like or at least be something one would see in reality (a cat or at least something that could wear a holo projector to appear human).
The game uses GURPS – a very old, crunchy and confusing game engine. However, you will not have to do anything, just tell me what you want & I do the numbers. I (the GM) am so backwards that we do not use AI or software. I use a paper map and puppets.
A bit about the group. We may have one person, maybe more, leaving and we need a replacement. This is not set in stone & cannot guarantee this will happen. The group is mostly younger (20’s-30’s) & mostly women. Therefore, I would prefer anyone joining to be a woman or at the very least not be weird about it. This will get you immediately banned. Please be nice and professional. If you hate your office job or capitalism in general, this is the game for you!
We’re looking for the following: Foremost is a good personality and a sense of humor. You can be shy and awkward (shy & awkward people often have the best senses of humor). Juat don’t bring the mood down. Next is consistency. We’d prefer someone that can show up. We play once per week, and you will need to consider that if you feel it will be an issue. Finally, we are newb friendly and pro LGBT. All we ask that you don’t be a jerk. We do sometimes say naughty words and drink adult beverages. Well, at least I do. Please contact me if you have any questions. I will try my best to accommodate.
This is actually a very special thing we have going on so please take that in consideration. It's not your average game. I'd suggest listening in first & you can make up your mind from there.
I’d also consider filling out the questionnaire as it is different than the rest. You can reach out to me directly at @yeroldpalwill. I respond quickly.
Thanks. I do hope to hear from someone. Hope its you. Like, seriously. Please reach out. If this is of any interest to you at all, please message me. I'm probably not going to. Let destiny happen for once in your life!
