Broadcast03 - October 17th 2013
Hey folks I'm Frudence and this is going to be an all-in-one update with all of the segments labeled to get the new schedule going. If you didn't see the Poll results, I'll be moving to text transcripts provided 3 times a week and one video broadcast like you're used to.
To keep this short I'm going to stick to mistakes from last week and comments specifically left to me by you wonderful people, then do more of my own research this weekend. First off, I got the name of a game wrong. It's not The Round Table -- it's Knights of Legend![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
knightsoflegend. Sorry folks, I really do like your game, that was just the name of the OOC comm apparently.
Also, due to my personal experience of having a game literally close due to player frustrations about quote Playing House taking more precedent than Serious Plot, I subconsciously group games into sex-friendly and sex-wary, I guess. One of those sex-friendly games is Throne of Shadowsthenetwork. It's not a sex game per se -- not like Amat amatomnes where if your character doesn't have sex there is in-game repercussions, which some players do intentionally heh. Anyway, Throne of Shadows is simply okay with your characters having sex. That was what I MEANT but it came out as 'this is a game focused on sex' which is not accurate. I even said I'd played there, so that really was a slip-up.
On to Traffic!
Paradisa'sparadisa returning characters applications will be open until October 21st yet! That's pretty cool. Your next chance won't be until December, so don't miss out on that! I'll have to put it on my calendar as a December reminder.
On the front of apps for the Vatheonvatheon import to Bastion thebastion -- those apps remain open until October 24th. The actual event will be October 26th. I will be a literal hawk over that plot thread, I'm just saying.
Here's a new game on my radar -- Teleiosteleios. They use a popular method of character greeting where all newbies get pulled in at the same time with an arrival post, or welcome wagon post as I used to call it. It's a no-network game, where most everything is face-to-face. I've seen games like that struggle, so good luck to you folks. There's supposedly going to be an app-freeze from December to February, so if you're interested in a redemption in a golden city plagued by the most heroic and villanous characters panfandom has to offer with a back plot reminiscent of Dissidia - at least to me - then make sure to get your apps in A-S-A-P.
Speaking of posh locales, check out The Country Within the Palacecountry_within_the_palace. They've had a mod changeover, which is never easy I know from experience, and boast a revamped experience. Since apps are always open, there's no excuse not to check them out. I love that they chose a very different setting for this game, if it's not obvious from the Djinn included in the backstory. Similar to Amat, there is a magical force that sustains the game, but sex is not the only way to create it. CWP is also smaller and more medium-paced. Another really interesting aspect are the guilds, much like other professional guilds you may be familiar with from History or Historical Fantasy video games - that's also how the magical force can be created.
Then there's Proxima Betaproximabeta, a panfandom sex game set in a sci-fi world that was man-made. There's scientists conducting social experiments, so you know that can't be good. Reserves are open and the game isn't - yet - so get in on the action at the ground floor and see how long you can last! Especially with a chip in your neck. Eek.
Since we're talking tech -- maybe you're not into sex games, but do like sci-fi. Re/Alignedre_alignment is a Transformers themed game set on Cybertron. I have to believe every player there is twice as good as Michael Bay or better. Apps are open as of the 15th and rumor has it that they need some new blood to grease their wheels. Activity checks are only every 2 months if you struggle with those. One kind of cool thing about this game is that since it's freaking Cybertron, everything is oversized anyway - meaning if your character is huge, you don't have to resize them. From what I can tell, you're also not being required to turn them INTO Transformers -- although that would be a cool AU app. Last thing -- I love that they're including Alignments, or Polarity hah. Anyway it's not like D&D alignments, but that's where my experience comes from -- much like Asgard and Harry Potter houses, it's more along the lines of What Do You Stand For.
But for a different sort of nostalgia, HOOOOLY CRAP THERE'S A SPYRO UNIVERSE GAME!! You, dear mods, are my new favorite people. That was my favorite game growing up -- and it's set in freaking Avalaravalar. Awesome. Apps and reserves are always open for now - and who doesn't want to hang out with dragons, satyrs, and bipedal cheetahs? Oh and dragonflies -- they don't say HEY LISTEN, at least. It's a pretty new game too, so you're not looking at much history either. There's some kind of magic problem that the Outsiders are being brought in to help with. Sounds like a good enough reason to me.

Thoughtformedthoughtformed recently hosted a Haunted Carnival, but as quickly as it came it disappeared. Since the game is about fictional characters coming to life, it's interesting that dropped characters are considered released like from a prison. There's only one community for both network and log posts, so at a glance the game seems to be medium speed these days. I think it's a pretty interesting premise when the whole game is a 4th wall breaker - you don't see that often these days.
Another rarity is the game We The Lostwethelost - calling it a CRAU game is a deceptively obvious acronym that I had never come across before. CR + AU, previous CR from an alternate universe. The only character applications allowed in We The Lost are those previously apped to other games. You've probably seen those characters allowed to be apped elsewhere, but always alongside characters fresh from canon too. Instead, the moderators portray this game as an opportunity for healing, since characters are rarely dropped under 'good' circumstances. It's an almost Polly Pocket-like world with a young god attending it - try it out if you're pining for an old friend you lost to an activity check.
Miscellany
Cape and Cowlcapeandcowl just celebrated Year 5 on the 10th! Wow! Now they're gearing up for a multi-dimensional adventure of super heroic proportions against the group called Vulcanus. When it comes to this game, you can only assume it's going to be quite the showdown!
As expected of a game called My Little Jamjarmylittlejamjar, everyone is a pony - and near as I can tell it's not that your characters were born there, they get transformed when they join the game. They're only 6 months old and have already used up the world's supply of horse puns, so they need your help making more!
