Bay 12 Games Forum

The nearest pizzeria (or plakiaria, as the case may be, not that such a term is even used in Generia) to the Belleview is, apparently, some small joint called Frankies about a few blocks away.

I think where the real hostile reaction comes from though is the idea that there would be some sort of person with power over the whole deal and an active infrastructure that interferes with the way they run their own games - there's nearly nobody who actually needs this sort of setup, and the idea of any moderator, whether it were to be you or NUKE (who I imagine wouldn't want to spend that time and effort for something like this) or somebody else, rankles because they don't have a use for somebody in a position of authority within the board. The idea of central figures moderating is one you've pushed before, and to some degree I think it goes along with the idea of a more centralized infrastructure actively being shifted around. I do NOT personally approve of the way people are behaving, but that's why the pushback is there.

This.

The forum's GMs insofar as I've seen generally prefer independence in how they run their games. Speaking from the perspective of a GM I don't need the assistance of a separate infrastructure to pull in players; I can either arrange something over Discord or put up a thread, see if people bite and arrange the rest over a purpose-made Discord. I see no real reason to have any moderator with significant powers over the forum who isn't solely for the purpose of policing particularly egregious breaches of behaviour, such as personal attacks on someone else, as people (and GMs) are well capable of policing themselves for the most part. I also disapprove of the personal attacks, to be quite frank; we're not approving this idea but there's no need to come after him for it.

In regards to game design discussions, that's just generally a thing people will sort out in PMs, given (again, with personal experience) that there tends to be better results from using your friends as sounding boards rather than some randoms on the Internet.

Pretty much what it says on the tin, a Fire Emblem tabletop system.

Uh. Can... you be more explanatory wrt what that actually means?

It's a tabletop roleplaying game system with mechanics based on or directly derived from Fire Emblem. Essentially, you have classes that act like the classes from the game, a battlemap akin to the ones in the game divided into tiles, phases that roughly simulate the turn-based gameplay (and the system as far as I am aware, is originally intended for a play-by-post system that lends itself naturally to this) and the like.

Keith's mind is briefly cast back to the brief discussion they had all the way back about plakia in Milly's wagon. Specifically, that plakia is essentially pizza under a different name.

Of course, as he looks through the list, he notes that the hotel's restaurant seems to be renown in Ishim for its world-class plakia, courtesy of famed chef Boy Flamey. It's hard to tell if that's an alias of some sort or if it's his actual name.

"I heard explosions, friends! What happened?"
Remiel insinuates himself into the conversation, the faint noises of Alive Until Sunset's latest album playing from his headphones.

"Yamajiman? ....were they speaking Yamajiman or did you find something?"
"Himiko, you don't think...."

Remiel - Landship Halls
Remiel makes his way towards Kagura and Headbanger, raising a hand in greeting as he lowers his headphones.
"Hello, friends! It's a glorious day to be up, no? Have you two eaten yet? I was planning to drop by the galley to get something to eat. A hearty breakfast is always a good start to the day, yes?"
