Dark Metal MUSH: Cyberpunk-themed Old World of Darkness - set in a
battered post-apocalyptic world after the Fall in which the existence
of the supernatural was irrevocably proven to the eyes of humanity.
 This is Corp-controlled LATMA (the Los Angeles-Tijuana Metropolitan
Area), where Bright citizens have all the rights under the watchful
eye of the Consortium, and Dark residents don't even exist legally -
which some of them prefer.

Plots are ongoing and lively, with both staff plots and strong
encouragement for players to develop and run their own. Here are some
of the things currently ongoing:

      Having retaken a fallen caern, the GAROU begin the efforts
to build it into a stronghold in the midst of the city, to hold
against the pervasive influences of the Wyrm.

      The MAGES and SORCERERS, having secured a strange temporal
shard, undertake to shape it into a safe space for magic-workers.

      LATMA has long been a frontier territory for the CAMARILLA,
with success that waxes and wanes - a strategic location for Kindred
as well as mortal politics. Now, however, they have begun creation of
a center of power in Escondido, and are recruiting support from the
long-time residents toward developing a secure Elysium location.

      The SABBAT have made a recent discovery of a 'psychic space'
called the Oubliette. The Oubliette is a place of both wonder and
horror with ancient roots that may contain the power to start or
stop Gehenna.

      Like a southern California fog, the ragtag LATMA pride of
BASTET fade in and out of view.  Recent events have put them on
the path of a dubious artifact, to say nothing of the other myriad
secrets the cats pursue.

      CORPORATE warfare is a constant; want to run errands doing
their dirty laundry, dodge Metropolitan Security, or maybe try to
take over a corp of your own?

Dark Metal MUSH is open-chargen across the board for starting-level
characters - Vampire, Mage, Sorcerer, Garou, Ratkin, Bastet, Corax,
and cyber-enhanced Human. Plots are open to the playerbase at large -
if you want to get involved with any of the above, just drop a word
to a staffer. We'll work you in. Got an idea for a plot of your own?
Our guidelines for running Player-Run-Plots not only allow but
encourage it. Come tell your stories.

Averaging from 20-40+ players, there's plenty going on for anyone to
get involved in, supported by extensive, ever-evolving and maintained
custom code. Also, have a look at our webpage for extensive theme and
information files, active forums and rules discussions, staff agenda,
and other up-to-the-minute information.
