The biggest change. imho? for the better was the advent of the Internet really - the ability to post up on forums and begin actively discussing and holding open forums on spreading fantasy/worldbuilding settings. For worse? I can't pin any one thing. Loss of the old MSN groups was a hard blow for me - I lost years of worldbuilding that I never backed up. Taught me that having a backup copy was king in the digital era.

I was on a ship once that could only do combat

This is hardly scientific, but I would break up simming history like this: - Pre-1992: Primordial - loosely affiliated groups on early online services like AOL, Prodigy, and Compuserve - 1992-1997: AOL Golden Era - begins with Kowalewski's founding of STF - 1997-2001: AOL Imperial Era - begins with the founding of the Simming League and Bravo Fleet - 2001-2007: Internet Imperial Era - Bravo Fleet and other Internet clubs overtake AOL as the dominent groups - 2007-2011: Medieval Modern Era - begins with the dissolution of the Simming League; groups don't interact together as much - 2011-current: Renaissance Modern Era - re-emergence of the greater community through cross-club events.

Okay, changing things up a bit: most of you are Star Trek role players. How will Star Trek continue to play into the community compared to other genres?

We've got an influx of new canon. That gives a lot more fodder

The niche we have still seems to be popular. There's still a ton of ST based sims / groups around. I think as the series progresses, we'll see games remain. We might even experience an expansion if ST becomes culturally significant again.

Evolution/bounce - people have a need and desire to explore and see new media in which to build their settings. SecondLife was huge for awhile because of how innovative you could be with set/building designs and introduce avatars with 'accepted' gear and could have live RolePlay going on. VR may be the next step, may not. Star Trek is just now getting the same bit that WH40K is - New Lore, New Cannon, New species and major lore shake ups and Side stories that are now semi-canon that you can take from being a vague idea and mold into your own setting. USS Hawking that I run is exploring 'AI rights' and how much can you trust your own ship when an alien civilization 'Uplifts' a previously non-sentient computer and grants it by all definitions 'life'.

Oh, Disney Just Straight Up Has a Holodeck Now
Okay, so the limitation of modern projection and tracking technology means that the holograms themselves have been replaced by...a bowler hat. But c’mon. You tell me at least one nerd in the Magic Kingdom hasn’t tried to boot up Dixon Hill or Janeway Lambda-One on that thing.

And guessed ": 'All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.'
Sorry....Finishes with 0 points
And @Kylindra wagered 0 points
And correctly guessed "What does God need with a Starship?"
So finishes with 11

Okay everyone! We're down to our final question
Basically this is how it's going to work: I'm going to ask you to wager points (update will come first) and then will ask the question.
The first person to correct answer it in the room wins the points
Any questions?

greetings world; so this panel is about discussing how management of technology setup has changed over the years... So first question for people... How do people use technology in this time and what has changed in the years?
Avatar
Iggy 18-Apr-20 07:01 PM
Much of what I use currently seems to be the same in terms of hardware. I have a laptop, cell phone, and digital reading device (ipad). Software is greatly different, and that makes the experience overall difference.

But most of it is connected software; software that fully integrates into end user experience.

Josh [TNU] 18-Apr-20 07:07 PM
So some of the other folks on this server mentioned nova... SO are most of the folks in here preferring forums and chat or do we have email posters and Nova users here?
With that question; why do people prefer their particular method of posting?
Avatar
Iggy 18-Apr-20 07:10 PM
I've always liked live games. Discord works great for that. Nova is interesting, but I'm not sure I have enough experience yet to say whether or not I like any better than other mediums

Rockyeahh [TNU] 18-Apr-20 07:14 PM
Familiarity is a factor. I like to use what I know works and gives me the time think before I write but if the roleplay group wants to change the tech then I try to go with them. Discord is working for now due to it's open nature and popularity but if new software comes along and people move on and if's worse then I'm just gonna grumble and carry on.

Back when I started, we were on AOL. Had private and public chats for roleplay anbd recruitment, and you were super lucky if AOL would give you a message boards

I've run groups on Second Life. Commanded a starship in VR.
I wish we had this tech back then.

Josh [TNU] 18-Apr-20 07:16 PM

Is there a tech you wished existed for roleplays that doesn't? Like if discord made a discord just for roleplay or a slack that was built for roleplay only. What a world we'd be in. (Cue someone telling me it already exists).

Josh [TNU] 18-Apr-20 07:21 PM

Avatar
[IDF] Ken Gillis 18-Apr-20 07:22 PM
I'd love for VR to be more accessible
I loved my time RPing in Second Life, but the Trek scene's kind of died off there. Being able to RP in a virtual environment would be the next great step.
But, someone would need to build it, and not be shut down by CBS while doing it
Avatar
Rockyeahh [TNU] 18-Apr-20 07:24 PM
Ah yes, the more accessible the technology becomes, the more people that can get into roleplaying.
Avatar
[IDF] Ken Gillis 18-Apr-20 07:25 PM
It really depends on what you get out of RP, though
A lot of people wouldn't really want fully immerseive roleplay. They're into the collaborative writing and world building, which is definitely valid.
For me, it's about escapism.

Avatar
Rockyeahh [TNU] 18-Apr-20 07:29 PM
Star Trek is a hell of a uptopia dream. And I find I do better with writing software then talking in roleplay or through a simulation or an rpg. I've got friends who ran a roleplay just through speaking through xbox live voice chat a decade ago and then there are the folks who only do pen and paper and the ones who who use apps for their stats and others that write in a live chat system.

I mostly just use Nova. I've thought about building something more tailored for our use case, but Nova fills 90% of everything and since it's built in Code Igniter, modifying it is easy

Rockyeahh [TNU] 18-Apr-20 07:42 PM
I guess it also depends on the person. I get by with discord or any other instant messagjng program, a forum, some dice and a word doc. Whereas a friend of mine has his eloborate built sets and painted creatures from wargames. It's to each their own. (edited)
