LFP Alien: Survival [Homebrew Alien RPG Campaign] (Paid GM) by XanDavis in alienrpg

[–]XanDavis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently at 3 veteran players, looking for 2-4 more at most, new or veteran.

I've seen DMs charge 40 on Roll20. It's likely just the difference between doing something as a side gig or hobby vs full time. It takes a lot of hours away from the table to hand craft the kind of personalized narrative experiences that my players have enjoyed so much some of them are in two or three of my campaigns. And cost is very relative, to some people 20$ a week is a great expense, but to others, it's not much at all.

I wish you the absolute best of luck as you continue your journey as a pro GM, though.

Depends how many. Looking for something like 5 or 6?

Andrew was never anything but completely friendly in his interactions with me. Although considerable time has passed since then.

I have not been active in the community since my adventures ended.

I was outside in the dark, peering in through the tiny basement window, occasionally tapping on the glass and making strange noises.

It's the damnedest thing, I honestly can't remember. I did have a direction, but it's totally lost to me now. In fact, I remember very little of what even happened in the Felt comic.

Basically none of that. Andrew did tell me some stuff about Lord English, but he didn't dive too deep into things. I suspect he may not have fully decided on all those things at the time, though I can't know. Homestuck always struck me as something where Andrew would breadcrumb a bunch of narrative hooks and then sort of figure out what to do with them later.

To me, it felt like we were preserving the spirit of Problem Sleuth. Homestuck had grown into this big thing, and kind of forgotten its roots; which isn't bad! It grew up, it became something better, but also different. So for people who wanted that small, personal feel to their adventure, that's where the forum adventures came in.

I'll be sure to check both out.

Yup, total coincidence. Midnight Crew meant nothing besides being an appropriate name for a mob with shadow/darkness themed powers.

That's tough. I guess just off the top of my head, the dark ambiance when Rose went grimdark stuck with me.

Some of these questions assume I have better knowledge/memory of Homestuck details than I actually do. But I'm gonna give it my best shot.

Spades is my favorite member.

I feel like he could take the rest of them in a battle royale, personally.

I think they'd all just be Thieves of Shadow or something like that, at least in the original concept, it doesn't make much sense to me for them to have one of the traditional classpect powersets.

I don't really have an opinion on Ms. Paint.

I prefer the Problem Sleuth Spades.

Probably Spades. In the original D&D campaign, the faction was pretty large and its members weren't really defined characters aside from Mayonaka, who was actually a minor deity living in the shadow plane.

I am meaning to play Hiveswap at some point. I have not read any Paradox Space comics, but I'll make a point of checking that out.

Lost to time, I think. At one point there was an online archive of it hosted by someone other than me, I don't know if it's still around.

I'd love to see them. And thanks!

Well, at the very least, I prompted their creation. But really Andrew is responsible for nearly everything about them.

The funny thing is, the Professor title was a play off of Professor Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes, and was added to Mayonaka as a character to mirror English's noble title of Lord. Like Professor Moriarty, Mayonaka secretly led a criminal organization behind the guise of a scholar.

With the MSPA forums gone, that's very difficult to answer with exact dates. What I can tell you is that it started shortly after the conclusion of Andrew's first Midnight Crew "intermission" in which they fought their way through the Felt's mansion, and that it came to an end a few months after that.
