SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Anybody know Starcraft?

Quote from: Spinachcat;1119040Yes, if done well. I agree there's world building potential underneath the soap opera.

But without control of the IP, I don't see how you would reach an audience of notable size.
I figured that too. Hence, I'm also working on an original universe that recycles the premise of Starcraft without the soap opera aspects.

If anybody's interested in collaboratively brainstorming the world building, then let me know.

Blizz posted a story summary on their blog: https://starcraft2.com/en-us/news/23331587

It's... just as bad as you would expect it to be.

People pay attention to the lore?

The best writing Blizzard did was on the original Diablo, because there was so little of it compared to "cutscene, the game".
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

It's absolutely maddening for me. I like all the art and the units and stuff. But the story is frankly awful.

This makes it really difficult to discuss with people who actually like the game. I don't know what's wrong with me, but for some reason I can't have constructive storycrafting conversations with other fans of the game.
