Ominous. Think I'd shit my pants if I rounded a corner and saw this IC, tbh.

As far as I'm concerned, CWU are normal citizens. Just citizens with stable jobs. Loyalist status should determine perks.

In a way, I see your point. Your Union card being stolen I think should be fair game but I would argue that the more prudent route would be "tiered" locks, or "tiered" Union cards. Higher up the ladder cards can open up higher up the ladder locks. That way not every schmuck who happens to get...

Defining your budget might be a good start...

While I agree that interesting RP is a reward in its own right, that outlook is usually predicated on people creating the character, as I mentioned before, already with the goal of corruption in mind. Therefore, their reward end up being exactly what they sought out to obtain. RP that one may...

I find it fairly unhelpful, actually. I may end up a unit doing something I think is corrupt and later get in trouble because I'm doing "rogue" activities without permission.

Define borderline rogue. What is the tipping point that means a unit has to come to a lead in order to continue their chosen RP route? It seems like a fairly grey area by how you describe it. And further more, what exactly would even constitute a good reason to even be "rogue", anyway...

Yeah, cut and dry stock D&D is really the only thing I know. Never really tried exploring outside of that, honestly.

Personally I only have hands on experience with High Fantasy settings.

It would be nice if CP had a use for the disgusting amounts of money they end up with. Maybe bribery would be more common and more commonly accepted.

I DM for my group of friends IRL usually. I rarely get to be a character myself, though. I'm a bit of a forever DM at this point. Which edition do you play usually?

Personally, I fully support having corrupt CP. I think its something that makes for a truly dynamic RP experience. The duality of man truly captured in a character, so to speak; so long as it's done tastefully. I was actually planning on doing this, actually. But I will touch on a point you...

CP Stereotype is pretty spot on. As an ex-CP main, that was pretty much me to the letter at the time.

I mean, it's easy to say that but what can you tangibly do to generate that interest and take it a step further by keeping that interest alive for longer than the span of a single event or two? While I am usually the optimist, maybe I've just had just enough poor citizen experiences on the many...

I think this is actually a pretty fair point. I spoke to narrowly in my previous comment. Citizens can be a pretty good faction, but it really depends on the person behind the keyboard. While that's technically a rule of thumb for any character/faction, it's usually implied that if you're...

Honestly, saying they're the most important faction, while true, is pointless. Because they are also the worst faction with usually 0/10 RP. It's ironic, really.

The muck that surrounded the man seemed boundless, all consuming and frigid. Black as midnight and with a consistency like that of tar; the very sensation of the substance that surrounded him seemed to permeate his very core with its oppressive influence. It’s viscid, glutinous sludge tugged...

Open ended and short but definitely impactful. A good little read. :approve:
