I cannot believe they did an offscreen rocks fall death instead pivoting and asking themselves how the plot (company A and its plans) would react to this series of events. One of the key things to being a good gm is being able to pivot and build off the story that your players are building. I have torn up my notes for whole sessions, but it resulted in a better and a more fun session than what I had originally planned because of what the players were doing.
I agree completely North, anyone who looks at Tolkien or Peter Jacksons Lord of the Rings and sees Black people is bent on so many levels. The first time I heard that just started laughing, the sad thing was that the person who told me did not laugh, they thought it was true and thought I was an evil racist for not agreeing with them. As a long-term Storyteller, killing a Player Character OFF SCREEN is total crap and should never be done! Best to leave that sort of game and never play with them again Let them have "their server", let it fail. I would be thrilled to see a Norther Exile RP server, so long as we don't end up with Lines and veils and other blue haired weirdo stuff. :)
I think a really cool way you could do some form of fun community roleplaying would be to focus heavily on innovative character creation charts and tables based on the Cyberpunk Red, and Dark Heresy styled wacky dice randomized options of off the wall lifepaths, Grimdark backstories, and dice driven events. Another way to combat crazy inevitable drama and in fighting would also be to focus on giving your character an equally fun and spectacular innovative death after about 3 or 4 good missions, - give them an excellent ride into the sunset with a blaze of glory. Having the focus mainly being on character creation, and imaginative life finale death narratives. - This would also prevent some characters from achieving old legend status or going through any kind of revolting heartbreak if anything goes wacky with the narratives. You could always be cryogenically re-animated and brought out of stasis after some time has passed in the future too. If you had a certain character and path you really enjoyed more than others. This whole concept of the templates being Cyberpunk Red, Dark Heresy and an incredibly twisted version of the game of "Life" would be a great experience. Rather than getting into little conflicts, the ongoing narrative could always be. "Hey guess what crazy crap happened to me and the wild way I died!" 😂
An rp server could be cool depending on the system it's based around. I'd be fine being in one at least, I would just need a primer on the setting and tone which if North did make one he would provide
I would be tempted to play in a northern Excel role-playing game if you were the Gm I’ve been into the TTRPG hobby nearly 30 years I’m kind of lost my love for it but wouldn’t want to play textbased
Has media literacy really crumbled so severely that every story longer than three paragraphs needs “this will be important” reminders? Minor gripe of mine.

I truly appreciate your candid responses to stories without worrying about political correctness. It is refreshing.
If you think the LotR Orc thing was bad, some gov in Europe(UK, I think) has put LotR and 1984 on a terrorist signs watchlist🤣
Not uk

I’d be interested in an roleplay server, but I’ve never played in such a game before. I like to think I’m agreeable and well mannered for it
I would join your Discord for a Shadowrun game. An actual community would be fantastic.

I'd run a vampire game for the server. I keep almost UK hours.
304s who want to want to be chaste....nah

Spends the first 5 minutes telling a guy who said he’s happy with his step kids and girl, that she’s freaky and is all red flags, bro read the story
Sorry I commented too early, the first 8 minutes
