I'm just joining the bandwagon before all the good seats get taken.
Also, this is to hopefully redirect some of the absurd levels of derailing that have grown quite prevalent in my games.
What this thread is for:
An archive of my games, active, inactive, or theoretical.
A brainstorming thread for ideas I may try to run.
A redirect for all the off-topic banter that would otherwise be cluttering up my junk.
If you have a question about how a game works, then go to that game's thread, unless the game doesn't have one, in which case it falls under the "brainstorming" category.
If you feel like senselessly derailing this thread in particular, then go for it, that's why I'm making it.
THE COLORING CONVENTION:
Since this thread is chaotic (as it was designed for) I'm establishing some rules to help with its navigation.
Yellow should be used when asking me about one of my games or otherwise on-topic subject, such as a Poll request.
Red should be used for participating in the active Dorsidwarf game.
Blue should be used for participating in any active Elephant Parade game.
Elephant Parade has also requested you use Purple sans when discussing his fan-art. I have no complaint with this
Cyan is to be used for any flabort-brand gaming.
Chocolate is the color of fractalman's game.
Orange is the chosen color for Freeformschooler's derail games.
Use (color=transparent) tokens to participate in the escaped lurker game.
Maroon has been taken by Darkpaladin109.
For any off-topic garbage, please don't use any colors, this includes talking to me when you aren't asking about one of my projects.
Colors may be added/changed later if further needs arise.
Active Projects:
Rise of Nations: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=147107.msg5915880#msg5915880) A real-time strategy game that I'm attempting to run in a turn-based forum manner. Genius, I know.
Flailing Moshpit: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=138313.0) An inevitable failure of an attempt at poorly running a game of D&D 3.5.
Inactive Projects:
The wind beneath your feet: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=126570.msg4279439#msg4279439) My first attempt at running a game, and an excellent display at my poor ability to name game titles. Complete!
Guilds of the Floating Castle: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=127432.msg4331198#msg4331198) A game about capturing territory and generally being a huge jerk with subterfuge. Took place in the same world as The wind beneath your feet, ended due to the large amount of work it required. Ended
Battle Arena: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=128988.msg4429832#msg4429832) An arena style game that used an experimental combat concept that ultimately turned out to be way too much work. Ended
Wizards and Whiskey: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=132000.msg4682623#msg4682623) A minimalist game of highly violent alcoholic wizards. Ended with the tavern turning to lava. Complete!
The Avatar and the Authorities: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=133014.msg4747876#msg4747876) A game where one person plays, and everyone else triggers events to get them killed. Ended
Warlock: Master of the Arcane: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=132581.msg4722079#msg4722079) A Let's Play suggestion game of half-dragon half-elves with the most adorable fan art ever. Ended
Lost at Sea: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=131299.msg4619153#msg4619153) A build a village game of bad decisions, incompetent fools with tools, and rampant shipping. Ended
E.V.O.: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=133969.msg4812681#msg4812681) A game of evolution and survival. Ended
tWoOtAPRtD: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=134083.0) A parody of Freeform's Warrens of Oric the Awesome. Ended
Roll to shoot GreatWyrmGold in the Face: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=137304.0) Because why not? Ended by 4maskwolf when he overshot a "kill everything" order. Complete!
Roll to Die/Revive/Dwarf/Derail: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=127328.msg4324099#msg4324099) This freaking thing. My longest running game began as a throw-away idea because I was having a bad day and wanted to watch people shoot each other. The game has run through a minimalist game, a god game, a game based around Dwarf Fortress, and now it's in the stage of massive cartography, where it will begin a game of turn-based strategy. Lost Everything from Hard Drive Crash
Xantalos was nice enough to make an update thread, so it's actually navigable. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=131972.msg4679535#msg4679535)
Six-Shooter: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=133235.msg4762116#msg4762116) An arena tavern brawl of death. Lost Info from Hard Drive Crash
Mainspring: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=135268.msg4892739#msg4892739) An airship game devised by piecewise.Lost Info from Hard Drive Crash
X-COM: Enemy Within: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136205.msg4991496#msg4991496) A Play-by-Post Let's Play.Lost Save from Hard Drive Crash
Wizardry 8: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=137942.0) Another LP thing. Lost Save from Hard Drive Crash
Theoretical Projects:
Overseer: A competitive board game idea where the goal isn't to defeat the enemy, but to be the last one standing of your allies. Involves copious amounts of dwarves, alcohol, and treachery.
The Second Story: A game that will have an actual story line to it. I've already wrote up a cast of over 20 characters.
The Dojo: The eventually successor to Battle Arena.
Imps: A game where the players are summoned imps, and have to draw heroes into your keeper's dungeon so they can be captured.
Keeper: A game where you play as the Keeper from Imps.
Wizard's Chest: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=80900.msg4416513;topicseen#msg4416513) A game of wizards involving magic cards to affect the field.
The Tower of Trials: Inspired by the actual Tower of Trials in my main game, it would be a very simple dungeon crawl type game with random room generation and absurd lethality.
The Order of Hats: You gain power from magical hats. In order to gain multiple powers, you must wear as many hats as possible. The more hats you wear, however, the harder it is to keep them on your head!
Roll to Fizzbin: A card game where the rules are made up and the points don't matter! Just like Jim Carrey!
The Journey Home: An experimental game concept of mystery.
You are an Incompetent Wizard: A game where you play as various mages, and try to do good without destroying everything in the process.
Desolation: A good old dungeon crawl, even though I said I probably wouldn't do another.
Beyond the Charts: A spaceship game with actual floor plans, and other stuff.
Sci-fi Quest: A game where all of Sci-fi collides. Vulcan Jedis lightsaber dueling against the Goa'uld and Cylons. Luxan Vs. Predator. The Imperium of Man takes on the bugs from Starship Troopers. It's chaos and blasters all around.
Other Junk:
TWoOtA fan game: (http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/217206/download) A bad Game Maker game I made based off of The Warrens of Oric the Awesome. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=121809.0)
Dwarven Dungeons: (http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/games/221575-dwarven-dungeons) Another bad Game Maker game, based off of Dwarf Fortress. Here is the actual thread for it. (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=131177.msg4608684#msg4608684)
Defend The Wall: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=141014.msg5497231#msg5497231) Once again, more shitty Game Maker games.
DF 2013: The Succession World: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=121140.msg3917122#msg3917122) Which I'll be starting once the new version releases.
Random whatevers:
Knights and Merchants: (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=134283.msg4844374#msg4844374) You should go play this game, it's awesome.
Go check this out. It's cool. (http://easydamus.com/character.html)
I'm sure I have some other projects I've thought about, but I can't think of them right now. (http://freegamemanuals.com/rpg/?page=13&searchquery=)
Anyway, please use this thread for all your derailing purposes.

Alright, we have a 1/3 chance of a instant kill, but a 1/6 chance of a gun jam and another 1/3 chance of wounding, 3 would have a jammed gun, taking them out of the equation, 17 next round, assuming we have a limiter probability, 7 people die, also assuming that no jammers get hurt, leaving us with 10 at the round unaccounted for, 3 more miss, leaving 7 left, those seven theoretically wound each other but that leaves one unaccounted for and in a linear probability world I wouldn't be able to calculate what happens to him, so the seventh will take one out by wounding again, but wait! Probability would assume he or she gets another killing shot on a wounded, through a 5 or 6, we got 8 people (from hitting with 5 or 6) and another 3 who got arm shot, who now have a 1/6 chance of instant kill shot, so:
Round one: 8 killed, 3 out because of gun jam for next round, 3 arm wounded, 3 leg wounded, 3 miss, 12 left:
With eleven people who only have a 1/6 chance of killing, 1 kills a gun jammed guy, one of the leg wounded scores a kill on another gun jammed guy, 9 left unaccounted for, 5 wounded left with only one scoring a wound on another, 7 wounded, 8 unaccounted, 9 alive, 5 wounded still unaccounted, another wounds, 6 unaccounted.

I just read The Wind Beneath Your Feet, and thought it was interesting. For anyone interested, I'm making a game that has a few similarities. It should be somewhat different in terms of the system. It is here (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=133505), if you want to try it.I glad you found it interesting! I'll admit, I did a pretty shoddy job of running that, but it was my first game and all.
I signed up for yours.

Ok, since E.V.O. is a secret project that's still in production of pretty much every aspect, that leaves me with You are an Incompetent Wizard at the highest standing.
Honestly, it's basically Wizards and Whiskey: Chapter 2.
I was hoping to have something interesting to talk about, so I guess I'll have to resort to the 3 Votes slots.
The Dojo is basically just Battle Arena: Chapter 2, with heavy tweaked rules, not really much to say right now.
The Tower of Trials is a mindless Hack and Slash game, again, not much to say.
That leaves Overseer and The Journey Home to talk about.
The Journey Home is a concept I thought of where everyone plays as a passenger on a train.
Nobody knows who anyone else is, and nobody is easily recognizable, forming a rather mystery-esque mood.
Some of the players would have special objectives that they would need to complete before the train reached home, and oftentimes would need to avoid being seen.
Due to the way that everyone can see pretty much everything that's going in in a RtD, such as other people's actions, this would need some work to do properly.
Overseer is a game based off of DF succession forts, where each player is an Overseer.
However, nobody control the entire fort.
Each player has control over a small number of Dwarves, each dwarf has a civilian profession, and military profession, and some might gain noble professions. The way that each dwarf's character sheet would work would be very heavily visually based, like a board game.
While every Overseer has their own dwarves, everyone is still on the same team, under the Mountain Home.
The game ends with only 1 Overseer standing. Since you can't fight your allies directly, you have to get them eliminated using the NPC enemies that spawn, and by using abilities that sap away at the sanity of other dwarves.
Sanity would be the biggest part of a dwarf. Whenever something bad happens; they get physically wounded, they lose hold of some helpful bonus, they get a negative effect applied to them, they watch a dwarf die, many things can cause it, they will lose their sanity.
Once they lose enough sanity to reach their threshold, they tantrum, causing some sort of random uncontrollable damage.
Every time they tantrum, the threshold drops, and will be more susceptible to sanity attacks.
When their sanity threshold hits zero, they go insane, and can enter a depression, go insane, or go berserk!
Every time a dwarf tantrums, 1 point is knocked off of the Spiral Counter. If the Counter hits zero, then a Tantrum Spiral has begun, and every player can physically attack the dwarves of other players! Turning the fort into a civil war! A crafty Overseer will be sure to weaken his allies well before the Tantrum Spiral can begin, as a single powerful military dwarf can bring a losing team to the forefront in a Tantrum Spiral.
When the game begins, there would be little resources, and everything would have to be made yourself.
Crafting using your dwarves' various civilian professions would be one of the biggest parts of the game, and you need to acquire food and booze to keep your dwarves alive and happy. The limited selection of dwarves would mean that temporary alliances would have to be made.
Have a carpenter? Not much use with out wood, and it might be someone else with the woodcutter.
Having the entire team of dwarves necessary for a metal industry might seem like a good idea, until you realize you forgot to bring a farmer.
Honestly, Overseer would be a massive game, with a ton of rules, but if I get it finished, it would basically be a competitive Dwarf Fortress Board Game.
Just trying to make something to talk about. What do you all think?

What does "dead eye shot" mean? Going to buy the rifle anyway, but still. Also, you say that items return between rounds if thrown away, but would that also apply to consumables like dynamite, med kits, and bullet proof vests?Dead eye shot means that it rolls a "headshot" on both a 5 and a 6, rather than just a 6 (Knew I forgot to mention something.)
Medkits are regained for every round, bulletproof vests are regained, but dynamite is not.
Dynamite is basically the game's "Shenanigan card".

No wonder it costs 10 creds, it seems to basically be a 'shit goes down the drainpipe' item.Yeah, I put it in for people later in the game with a ton of points to sink it all into it, just to be a jerk.
And then because it took all of their points, it puts them a bit back down to normal levels.
Also, I have 22 people signed up for that game so far.
Why do I do this to myself?

First off, the Warlock: Master of the Arcane game is being cancelled.
It was fun at first, but I have seriously lost all interest in it.
Secondly, Avatar and the Authorities.
While I really like the concept of it, every time I try to update it, I just don't feel like it, because it's no longer entertaining to me.
It's not hard to update, it's actually the easiest of my games to update, but I've grow bored by it.
I know some people will be upset by the loss of these games, but it frees me up to work on my other projects, which are a lot more interesting for me.
I may even be able to start a new project, if I feel like doing so.
Sorry to those who enjoyed them.

If you can, then I could do a Play by Post LP of it (Although I don't have Enemy Within, too expensive).
It annoyed me when I saw some in the Play with your Buddies section and it was just a mission debriefing for an update.

More concrete numbers, please. That number is relative to what the goal of the people is.Ye have annoyed the Derail Master, and he has smitten thee! Instead of a Generic Large Number of population, they shall be calculated by 3d20 - 2 per boatload.
There are: [10+17+12+18+9+10+5+16+3+6+8+5+16+11+3 (149)]-10 = 139 goblins.
There are: [20+20+9+1+17+15 (82)]-4 = 78 settlers in Midgard
Also:
Quote from: players
I think because I'm less war based, I think I got more friendly people, and perhaps more numbers.Highmax has the most settlers because Elephant Parade's initial settlers threw him overboard and joined Highmax, remember? That's why he has two ships.
I think you have the most settlers because your land is shaped like a penis.

3d20? Then how did I get two threes in there? Odds of it happening twice are: 1 in 6400000. Which site did you use?)
Post by: LeoLeonardoIII on December 11, 2013, 12:34:33 pm
EDIT: Also, two times EVER in D&D we had someone roll three 1s in a row on d20. The deal was, you roll to hit, and if you roll 1 you fumble, which is an auto-miss and prevents all your subsequent attacks that round. Then you roll again to see if you dropped your weapon (or slip and fall if you're unarmed) but it only happens on a 1.
The DM has you roll an item saving throw if one of your items gets hit by something, such as when you roll 1 on a save vs. fireball or if you fall into a pit trap you might break stuff like your lantern or whatever. Everything rolls a save, and the saves are sometimes easy and sometimes hard. Only if the item is magical and also struck by something it's strong against - such as ceramic struck by acid - will its save be anything like 1.
Anyway, the DM had him roll on the "Fall" category, which was a drop of about 5', which seemed appropriate since he was swinging the sword around. So the DM said, ok, just don't roll another 1.
Of course a 1 comes up and his magic sword shatters.
1 in 8000 chance.
The second time it happened I think it was a low level party and the character broke his non-magical bow or something. It wasn't important.

They protest at their new designation FARMING TOOLS.
You send a ship west, where you saw another encampment on the way in. You send an expedition over the ridge between the mountains, along with some expensive stuff, to establish relations with the source of the smoke. You, for some reason, divide up your forces, building fortified settlements down the river, with more goblins manning the Delta fort. You don't think sending individual scouts out in the cold is a great idea, but you resolve to do so at first opportunity. Your 'magic based' division of the millitary is going well! Yesterday, one of the recruits told a bystnder sniggering at his attempt to kill a goat with his mind that he could go die in a hole. He even had a headache for a whole three days!
That might have been from where he headbutted the magician into a wall, though.

Quote from: Tavik Toth
Turn Island intro fortress city/whatever. Increase population. Make firearms and other weapons. Train military more. Prepare plans for retaking mainland area. Also build more boats. And a galleon. Also make lots of farms.After finally putting all the corpses into a mass grave, you set up defenses around your camp and docks. Your colonists enthusiatica[DATA EXPUNGED]th bells on top. You try to get your metalworker to make guns, then realise you have no metal or sulphur to make gunpowder. You draw up elaborate plans for the mainland recapture, all of which depend on having more than 19 colonists. The crew of the original ship happily get to work building a flotilla of skiffs. Galleons are right out, you don;t have nearly enough wood, materials, tools, or workers. Soil is still frozen.
Quote from: Highmax
Make longships for the springtime for fishing. Be ready to plant rope reed for fishing nets. If we don't have any, vines will work just as well. Continue the smelting of copper and make some axes, knives and hammers out of it; we need better tools now, right?You construct a longship, nailing it together with the coppery metal. You keep the vines from your forest clearing, weaving them into nets. You keep digging and smelting copper, making additional tools along with the somewhat worn ones you embarked on your voyage with. You make an extra hoe or two.

Turn the Zanzteutkukens into the guard by giving them stone knives and spears and wooden shields.You equip the grumpy miners with a bunch of weapons made from stone shards. A few days later, a ship rounds the peninsula. It hoves to off your coast, and a suspiciously orange person hails you from the bow.
Quote from: BFEL
Resume trading/the search for metalsmiths once the chill dies down. Continue hunting local animals, but spare and domesticate anything rideable, such as horses or elephants. Mass produce pikes.It is no longer as cold. You inquire about metalsmiths to the Rivermouth Farmers, but theirs are just as bad. The mountain pass is still impassable. You tame a few wild horses, but they're a bit small for cavalry. Your metalsmiths take turns hammering pikes until everyone has one. Seven days of work later, a fur-bundled expedition arrives at your camp, asking to negotiate in muffled voices. You have no idea why anyone would want to negotiate rather than just turn up with a bunch of tradeables.
Quote from: poketwo
Order everyone in their houses, order the militia that i can accommodate in my house to go their and train with me, the rest of the militia are to train in their houses. We will wait out the storm.You successfully wait out the storm without anyone dying from cold. The millitia kept training the whole time, the twelve militia are pretty decent now. Traders from upstream come again. You give them some food in exchange for meats and furs, and tell them that no, you don't have any great smiths either.

((So could we get more info on terrain? Like is everything just plains or are there desert/swampy/other regions? What kind of environment have we set up in? Are certain places better for farms?

Pretty much the only biomes are freezing mountain peaks, flat open areas (near coast/major rivers), and dense forest (everywhere else). The environment is cold - In the winter it would have gotten to a minimum of -10*C. Flat delta lands are better for farming, don;t bother trying to farm a mountainside peak.

Start up a new colony, in a forest near a delta, and develop strong lumber axes and pickaxes.Your ship arrives at the bay. There is another ship here. Your crew really aren't happy you made them set out in the depths of winter, but are overjoyed to finally reach land.
Can't Think Of A Title Four: The Misnamening
(http://i.imgur.com/ptSe3gk.png)
Your military training is going well. Pointy end towards enemy and all that.
You talk with the arrivals over a feast of meat and meat products, which they eat with gusto. Apparently they've been eating dried salted beef mostly for the last few months. You get around to the topic of smiths, and they say that yes, their colonization party has a few decent smiths.
(http://i.imgur.com/ptSe3gk.png)
Establish roads between each of the settlements, the city, and the delta fort.You briefly divert workers from the city project to clear a road to connect your settlement forts. The goblins use these roads to transport trees to the Delta Fortresses, fortifying them more thoroughly. When that's done, you start mining out rock from the hillside, finding some chunks of native copper as you go. Farms are also built, your seed supply planted for later. The mage division has made no progress beyond that one headache that one goblin got when he headbutted a mage. This may not really be an effective use of your followers.
Concentrate bulk of forces not at the delta to the settlement nearby the delta after the roads are completed.
Build up Delta Fortress(es).
Establish quarries and mines in the mountainous areas for resources.
Establish farms to support the population.Expand population.
Begin diplomatic relations with BFEL and Lukeinator.
Have mage division continue work upon utilizing magic.
Start training smiths,Now that the mountain pass has opened and they're bringing you ores again, you set your smiths to work creating ever more delicate metalwork, to increase their skills. You also assemble a group of workers, team them up with two members of the militia, and order them to climb the passes of the western mountains. They report back some time later with news of more settlements beyond.expand population, order an expedition to the western mountains.
Research even more advanced mining technology.You begin work on experimental water-freeze techniques for fracturing rocks, opening a new, open-air mining pit for testing. Lots of metal coming in and being smelted.
Same as before. If ships and nets done and ice is gone, send out fishing boatsYour longboat was completed, so you fit it with your vine nets, and send the boat out to trawl for food. It's quite successful, and you now have lots of fish, all the extra of which is being salted and barreled.
Negotiate with the new people, first off ask if they have any smiths that are not completely terrible. Then give them a nice little feast of sweetmeats. Hope they are not vegans.Your colonists clear the trees around the lake, piling the logs for later use, and set traps and corrals for the horses. The colonists happily butcher all the slow, lame, and unruly horses, leaving only the agile and docile behind. You also have the horse that kicked you where it hurts killed too. The bastard.

Greet these orange peoples and try to set up a trade deal with them. Start production on more advanced mining techniques so we can strike metal.You offer to trade them lots of neatly chiseled stone blocks in exchange for general goods and maybe metals. Your own attempts to mine for them hit a dead end - but yuo do find a lovely shimmery sort of rock at the bottom of your open-pit mine.
Winter has passed, and it is springtime now. The snow in the mountains is melting rapidly, filling the streams to overflowing. Navigating them for the next month or so would be foolhardy.
-Spring has come!-
(Just so I know I'm not wasting my time, there is magic in this game, right?)There is no magic in your population. It is rumoured that necromancers haunt the Dead Lands, creating beasts twisted from their graves, but nobody has yet made it past the wastes to reach them. Or wants to.

You fell many, many trees around the lake, building an impressive stockpile of wood. The lake isn't exactly teeming with fish, but a steady supply is coming in for consumption and salting. You track down more horses and corral them. No idea if your eugenics program will work for months yet.
Nothing happens.
-The air is getting warmer. Spring is getting into action. -
(http://i.imgur.com/ZayCakI.png)
Use metals to make even better mining technology.You devise extra techniques for mining, involving chisel-cracking and reinforcing props. You have some seriously deep and large mines now. The colonists are enthusiastic about the machine, and forge a crude cradle of struts and supports to hold the frame in progress.
Begin construction of gigantic metal war machine.
Send my ship with a few traders and goods to Highmax's settlement, including refined ores, it will not enter the river water. Check for magic potential in colonists, including me.Your ship arrives at highmax's. More on that later. You enlist your Spiritual Adviser for help checking whether any of your colonists have secret talents for wondrous acts. Testing is going well, extensive regimenting for all colonists, until about a week in, when he is found floating in a water-butt. The lack of head is a clear sign that this was not an accident.
Propose/request that Zanzetkun leave one or two of his smiths in our lands, to train our smiths, in return for meats and logs.You talk to the visitors and offer them meat, logs, and horses. They don't particularly look thrilled at the first two, but they say that if you can find tin, they'll swap a metalsmith for tin and metal. They react much more favorably to the offers of horses, stating that if you can train them, they'll take 'em. You build a corral and get to work on training horses.
Continue work on expanding around the lake.
Begin Fishing efforts in the lake.
MOAR HORSIES. AND MORE HORSE BREEDING.

(Where are my roads? You forgot to include them.)You tell your ex-magi to get on with something productive. They grumble for a few days, then start looking for flammable materials to experiment with. You plant more farms at the delta and dig bigger holes in the mountain. A large area of forest is cleared and logged. Ballistae are really quite complex, especially since your clan doesn't have a highly trained siege engineer. The goblins produce one rickety ballista, which you mount on a ship, but then just give up and fit the forts with catapults. It's not even like they had the right things to build lots of ballistae anyway. Your copper smithing goes well, with some copper tools turning out, and a few bolts wrapped in tar-soaked rags.
Reorganize the mage division as a technological research division. Have them research Greek Fire.Expand the population.

Expand Mining.
Expand territory along the river.
Order the construction of Ballistae, mount two on each boat and four on each fortress.
Begin copper smithing. Focus primarily on tools and ballista bolts designed in a way that they could be lit on fire.
Reinforce Delta forts with stone.
Use metals we got to make weapons and armor, Build stone walls around our village.Start expanding farms and grow some cotton.They didn't actually give you any metals. You offered the rock in exchange for metals, but they refused unless you had tin, or actually knew what the rock was. You build a thick, buttressed wall around the villiage, grow some more farms. One of your colonists finds a bag of cotton seeds in the hold of your ship, tucked behind a crate, so you plant those too. You look at the rock. Boy, is it shiny. Doesn't look like a metal though. In the right light it almost glows from within.
Create more axes and make a tannery and a leatherworks from the wood that we have. Make enough axes so everyone can carry one in case something happens (bear attack, stuck under a tree... An axe is a multi purpose tool). Use the leatherworks to turn some of our hides into some basic armor. Make a small militia force and have them use axes until we can get some swords. Lastly, make a tavern, and with our newly made hoes, start planting grain and hops.You make a lot of axes. Axes for all! Your colonists appreciate your trust in them. You set up a tannery and leathershop,boiling and cleaning the hides to make stiff leather jerkins. You designate some of your citizens as "militia", and make them train. Wow, they're bad at this. You construct a tavern, planting grain, but have no hops, unfortunately. Some odd people arrive in a ship and start setting up shop on your shoreline.
Gather biomass.As the last Ngultor left on the ship, you look for biomass to gather. Some ghosts turn up, steal your crewmates' wallets, and leave tubs of ice-cream all over the place. You suppose that counts.
Nothing happens.
-The air is getting warmer. Spring is getting into action. -

As for everyone else, start digging deeper for better ores or even gems if we're lucky. If its useful, like iron, make swords and basic armor grafts out of them. Othewise, make them into more nails and coins. Create a wood worker's shop so we can have him make spear shafts for pikes and spears, as well as wooden shields. In our crops, plant rope reed or something of the like so we can make some bowstrings with it. And lastly, attempt to domesticate some livestock, preferably sheep

In our crops, plant rope reed or something of the like so we can make some bowstrings with it. And lastly, attempt to domesticate some livestock, preferably sheep
But in more serious news:
I just imagine your diplomatic party walking up to some gobbos with impossibly, creepily huge smiles and going "OHIDERE! ILIKEAXESDOYOULIKEAXES? DO YOU HAVE AXES? CUZILIKEAXES!....WANTANAXES?" And at that last bit the madness creeps fully into your eyes as your head lolls onto the side of your shoulder.))

I've changed the poll because I've been thinking about changing some of my projects, my interest in them has been waning slightly due to me not working on them, and I want to know what I should do about my inactive projects on hiatus.
I think that just doing "art" in general is a being a bit taxing on me lately, so I might try to do that a little less, but I really like illustrated stuff, so I don't want to stop that.
Anyway, the poll is different now, in any case, so I can get some input from you guys, since I have a bad track record for trying to decide things for myself.

My illness had just begun to let up, and the holiday cheer required me to spend too much friggin' time outside in the cold, doing physical activities rather than resting like I should have been, as so now my cold is back with a vengeance.
I will be adding a coloring convention to the Derail Thread, to make things less chaotic.
I will add it to the OP in a bit, but in short, please post in Red for the current DorsidwarfTM game.
Use Obnoxious Yellow for asking me anything, like regarding my games or other official stuff, don't color it if it's off topic, though. Yellow shows up better on my computer screen.
Please use Cyan for any official fl-ABORTTM bets. If flabort wants to edit one of his posts in this thread for tallying up points and running bets, I'll link to it in the OP. Also he can change the color used for it if he wants.
For normal off topic stuff as usual, don't color it.
I may add more if I want, to keep things more manageable. This should assist Dorsidwarf in his games, flabort with his bets, and me with handling all you cretins.
If it matters to anyone, I was actually planning on making surprise updates on a bunch of my stuff as a gift to you all, but then I got re-sick, and I've run out of un-un-antidote, so I will add a random and pointless new poll to make it feel like you still got something.

Throw a reindeer grenade behind me, hoping the explosion distracts the zombie. Rush right at it, my fist level with it's face, screaming hysterically.
(Item roll: 3)
You throw the grenade at the zombie. You don't quite score a direct hit, but you're close enough to inflict 1 damage. Also, a baby reindeer is summoned.
(Zombie attack roll: 5)
The zombie claws at the reindeer, killing it in one hit.
(Initiative roll: 6 + 7 vs. 5 + 3)
(Attack roll: 1)
(I'm treating the punch attack as a weapon attack, as there is seriously no advantage to unarmed combat.)
Your Illustrated Update misses so badly that the Zombie gets an extra attack!
(Zombie attack roll: 5)
The zombie lands a solid blow, inflicting 5 damage.
(Zombie attack roll: 3)
The zombie barely grazes you with its second attack, causing it to inflict only 2 damage.

(Overcharge roll: 3) You burn 5 MP in exchange for a +1 on the casting roll.
(Spell roll: 6 + 1)
You summon an Omnideer.
(Zombie attack roll: 4)
The zombie claws the Omnideer for 0 damage!
(Initiative roll: 4 + 7 & 1 + 40 vs. doesn't + matter)
The Omnideer has more than double the speed of all enemies, and gains an extra action.
(Omnideer attack roll: 6)
The Omnideer unleashes its Ultra Skill, Divine Trample! The Zombie takes 81 damage! The zombie dies!
XP ASSIGNMENTS
Mastahcheese - 2 XP
Omnideer - Summoned units don't earn XP! Boo hoo.
(If you're wondering why mastahcheese only got 2 XP, it's because he only performed two combat actions.)
The zombie dropped two fl-ABORT tokens! Flabort's Token Shop is now open for business!
Spawn a crap ton reindeer that it buries the zombie in reindeer
Action obsolete!
Remind people of the coloring convention I just made less than 24 hours ago.
(1)Nobody listens.

You know you want to roll the dice on that randomly generated weapon. And then do it a few more times until you run out of money because it wasn't what you were hoping for.Each Randomly Generated Weapon will cost more than the last.
Attempt to understand how I turned this normal deer summoning into an omnideer. Figure out a way to summon omnideers and make them stay around.Hahaha no. I'm just going to tell you that this won't work.

I second this statement.Merry Christmas!That is the weirdest first post I have ever seen.
I think the poll has done its duty, so I'll tally it up and archive it, and make a new one or whatever.
Antartica- 9 (34.6%)
That other place.- 8 (30.8%)
'Murica- 5 (19.2%)
Europe- 3 (11.5%)
South 'Murica- 1 (3.8%)
Asia- 0 (0%)
Africa- 0 (0%)
Anyone want to suggest a poll?

Very well. As the weapon, I choose...Before detonating a bomb (even one of that magnitude) over the planet on which I supposedly live, first you must question why I agreed to a duel where the weapon is surprise, and secondly why I challenged you over a phone. Third, whether or not I am on that planet at the moment. Fourth, what your butler is doing with your heart in his hand.

Sorry to hear you're in the hospital. I know it probably won't help, but you will survive being stabbed by the needles. They stab people with needles all the time and they're really good at it.
I don't like needles either but I wouldn't call them a phobia-level thing for me :/
Was that so bad? What do you exactly have?Well, they actually cause panics attacks for me ( yes, I'm a wuss) and the last time they tried to take my wife's blood, they slipped and it spilled everywhere, and I faint at the sight of blood, so I passed out.
Also, I'm probably going to start my game tomorrow, should I put you into the waitlist?
But I should be back home today, so keep me in.
I'm not sure exactly what I have, the tests haven't come back, but I'm having trouble breathing and I'm coughing a lot to the point of back pains.
Thanks for the concern you guys, I'll be fine.

Post by: mastahcheese on January 02, 2014, 10:36:55 pm
After some careful deliberation, I've decided to end most of my projects.
This isn't a decision that I'm making lightly, and I'll explain my reasoning for each of them.
Lost at Sea: I had a lot of fun running this. A lot. But it's not really shaping up to be what I wanted it to, and it's my fault for that.
I put too much emphasis on each individual in the game, and not enough on the group as a whole. I put too much work into having them look right, and not on what it was they were doing. It ended up being that people were instead focusing on making each character act they way they viewed their persona, and trying to instigate shipping, as opposed to actually trying to get things done in the vein of how a Build-A-Village game should run. And it's my fault for that, as I encouraged it for the most part.
I don't want this to end, but really, it would be easier, and more entertaining for me, to simply restart it, and do it right this time, then to try to fix what has already been done.
There will be a sequel to Lost at Sea, but this one has to end.
E.V.O.: This game is pretty much victim to the same symptom as Lost at Sea, in that I did it wrong. I wanted a game where you would evolve a creature into a higher life form, and get to constructing a home for your creatures. But I made the start of the game the way one would do a very short-term style game, or an arena combat game, not one of growth or evolution. It didn't promote the right idea that I wanted, and again, it's my fault for that.
Again, there will be a sequel to E.V.O., as well, but it's gotten to the point where it would be too difficult to fix.
tWoOtAPRtD: This one was also very fun for me to do, and I think it was good practice for me to work with things like menus, but really, there's one thing wrong with it. It's not my world, it's freeform's. I can't think of something that would make sense in his world, I'm not creative enough.
Heck, half of the reason that all of the rooms in The Wind Beneath Your Feet looked identical was because I couldn't think of anything more creative than that, and that was with my own material, where I already know everything in the storyline that could influence it. I can't do half of that in someone else's world where I'm completely clueless as to the reasoning behind everything.
It was fun, and the idea of a speck of power in freeform's domain was tantalizing, but I have to let this one go.
Six-Shooter: The mindlessness of this one was really fun, but it's a lot more work than it looks. Just dealing with 11 people in the first round was a pain before the death toll started to rise, and more than double that would be a massive amount of work.
That said, I'd feel particularly bad ending it before I could even test out some of the things I had added for the second go of it, so I'll at least do it some justice, and do the second round before I end it.
I'll give it one last go before it's time.
I know that there are a lot of people spread out amongst these games, and really, I'd rather not end them, but it's something I have to do. I hope everyone understands, and I promise that from now on, I'll be putting a lot more work into my games, and trying my best to stick them out to the end, and most of all, starting them out right.

And when I say "After some careful deliberation" I literally had been thinking on this for over a week, whether or not to do this, and decided that this was best. There are other things that I want to do, apart from redoing those projects the right way, and apart from the map.
I'm not sure what I'll start next, but I have a couple ideas. And I'll always keep those games in the archive so I can access them for reference.
Also, piecewise told me that if I wanted to try running a game of his steampunk airships, I should feel free. So if you guys want me to try that, I will.

Landon shoots! And misses horribly! Maybe he should have gone to target practice!
Doreen, rather than trying to preserve her own life, stays in her flanked position and fires! She actually hits! She deals 3 damage, and it's down to just 1!
Shannon moves up to the tip of the taxi and uses Overwatch again! Hopefully she realizes that it will only trigger on movement, not attacks!
Denise is incapable of calculating an alien's aim score (unless you mean chance to hit) so she decides to do the only sure-fire way to kill the wounded one: running up to it and chucking a grenade down it's throat!

Denise realizes she only has a 15% chance to hit either alien, so she moves up to the Meld canister, and then goes ahead and collects it because the timer above it is distracting! She fires! And she misses horribly!
Doreen decides to be a killjoy, but since she can't target teammates, stays in her completely exposed and vulnerable position and fires at the nearest alien! She also misses horribly!
Landon looks around for a weakened alien, but can't find one that isn't already blown to smithereens! So he runs over to the far taxi to get closer to the one everyone's shooting at!
Sharron moves up to a closer taxi, and notices that either Denise or Doreen accidentally hit the car the alien is using for cover, as it is now on fire! She can't fire on the alien yet, so she uses Overwatch to blast it when it flees the wreckage!

ALIEN TURN
The hidden alien pops out and fires on Doreen and misses!
The other alien, rather than flee the about-to-explode car, fires on Doreen! It finally hits! DOREEN IS --- Somehow critically wounded rather than dead? She'll bleed out in 3 turns if you don't finish the mission fast enough!
Somehow, the car doesn't explode!

Denise Wheeler = Execute/Dumbo.exe, used up grenade, rifle almost full
Landon Davis = Elephant Parade, rifle almost full
Shannon Griffin = escaped lurker, rifle full
Doreen Gibson = Zanzetkuken The Great, bleeding to death, 3 turns
Landon moves up to the open car door, and, getting frustrated that the game apparently still won't let him shoot, chucks his grenade at the alien! It deals 3 damage!
Shannon, seeing that the car door isn't close enough to allow shooting for some reason, moves up to the other side of the door! It still won't freaking allow her the freaking shot for some freaking reason, so she throws her grenade instead, finishing off the alien!

ALIEN TURN
Of the two far aliens, one mentally supports the other, and that one fires on Denise, killing her instantly!
The damaged alien overwatches, and Landon panics! He hunkers down and won't move!
Only Shannon can act!

Post by: Elephant Parade on January 05, 2014, 01:45:44 am
So what did everyone think of playing that, anyway? Would it be the sort of thing to be worth trying to go all out on in an actual game, with multiple missions, customized characters with promotions, perks, and all that stuff (since I have Enemy Within, now, we could actually use genetics and robotics modifications.) or was this best as just a test, and go make an actual forum game?I'd prefer an actual forum game, but do whichever you prefer.

That's some crazy stuff in there, and a fair bit of it is incomplete, but the main questions I had were answered through a PM to piecewise himself, so I think I'm going to launch a game of it, particularly seeing as how the poll says there are more people who are tired of my s#!% than there are people who don't want a game.

I really like your stuff, but you're constantly dropping and starting, so that seems like either an attention span thing OR a strong fear of failure.
Post by: mastahcheese on January 07, 2014, 02:40:34 am
I think the problem is that when I first started this, there were simply too many things I wanted to try, and so I wanted to do all of them, and ended up with a lot more than I could reasonably handle, and ended up in this bad habit of always having just 1 too many things to keep track of.
So I'm going to try to stick with fewer things, now. And I do have a pretty strong fear of failure, but I've come to realize that it just turns into apathy later on, so I have a strange relationship with commitment. I feel bad when I drop a game, but not for long.
I think what I need to do is to do things that can hold my interest longer, or run things that have a feasible ending.

Active bets on the game (that I found in my records): Mastahcheese, 5 fl-ABORT tokens on EP not finishing.
Payouts: Mastahcheese earn 7.5 tokens back.
New bets:
1:2 on Dorsidwarf denying magic and aliens in first turn
1:2 on him not denying them
Better hurry, this one will be a short one!
As always, fl-ABORT tokens are not legal tender outside of fl-ABORT related betting games and events.

Chapter 2: Bloodmoon
((You have ONE flashlight, and two word fragments.))
The Goblin Republic is of course the mightiest. Twenty-seven divisions split into five armies across two fronts. All other nations are worthless, and will be brushed aside at the Republic's convenience.
You read the Leader's mail. You are fairly sure most of that is trash.

Unite the independent unaligned states into the Last empire, become emperor of it.Your fledgeling empire is slaughtered by a coalition of states. So are you. You are dead.
Be emperor of my empire here. the northern reaches one, or at least the ruler of that place.You are Greg Rothild. Before war broke out, you were the opposition leader for the Northern Reaches. Now, you're a sub-lieutenant on the Rear Lines, about six miles of twisting trench from the no-man's land. You have 100 men under your command, standing orders to recieve and direct troops for the front, a mission to defend Wreckton rail station, and a telephone line to battalion HQ.
Have pet elephant. Ride it into battle.You briefly entertain thoughts of heading the local city, Vok, and stealing an elephant to charge across the no-man's land wire. Over-technician Fredrick Kirdef shouts at you to stop daydreaming a few minutes of glorious carnage later.
Bug captain Vash into giving me my missionVash snarls at you when you barge in on a meeting, and assigns you three men and a 'mission'. By which I mean, get a lift over to the even more brutal fighting of the Western Goblin Front, sneak across five hundred yards of barbed wire, machine gun posts, and artillery, kill a cat, and get back. Alive. The men are, understandably, very angry about this.
Give Lieutenant Rilk mission to assasinate Mister Tad, a cat serving the enemy forces.He made you cross, so you gave him a suicide mission with literally no purpose in the unlikely case of completion. You feel pleased with yourself briefly, then get back to receiving the actual mission brief from HQ. You are to infiltrate the northern Lines, and seize the Wreck from enemy hands. This will be ludicrously dangerous, albeit with a massive potential payoff in strategic terms. You are feeling margainally less smug about sending one of your lieutenants to his death, but he's already left by the time you leave the dugout to apologize.
Sacrifice to the Norse gods and ready the longships. Everyone still armed with an axe? Or are we in a later time where axes got upgraded to guns?You smash a bottle of fine champagne on the bow of your AM-'Longboat' submarine, and prepare to dive. You are Beth Trikslow, a Valhallan submarine commander. There are four submarines in your pack, and your orders are to harry Goblin military shipping off the South Isle. The submarines are armed with thirty 'Axehead' torpedoes each, and an eighty-millimeter deck gun.
Dig in, and have my men create a bunker to reduce incoming fire.After checking that the Goblin's aren;t actually attacking, you ask the soldiers to pick up shovels. A few hours of work later, they've a series of zig-zag trenches down to waist height along about a half-mile of the Line. The other companies who are watching the no-man's land are grateful, as this severely reduces the chances of them suddenly exploding due to artillery, or keeling over after sniper fire. You put tin sheeting over your dugout to keep the rain out, and stack wooden crates on the floor to keep your feet out of the mud.
I have two flashlights. I (naively?) assume that since both flashlights are part of my starting equipment, both have decent battery life.You start examining the fragments of metal with the words engraved into it. They seem somewhat similar to words in your notepad, so you examine them more closely. After some serious comparison between confirmed letters and the symbols, you determine the first shard to have 'MA*N C*M*-', ending in a smashed, jagged edge. The other is really very damaged. After closer inspection of it, it seems like the metal was smashed off something, possibly by the force of the Crash.
Start using one flashlight in tandem with fine brush in the vicinity of the word fragments.
((You have ONE flashlight, and two word fragments.))
Patrol for mice, rodents, vermin, and enemies to the state.The rats are refusing to come out in the rain, and you ate all the mice.
You take your lackey to the largest fire, and in the charred wreck of the building where it started, you find a thick safe and a spiked implement, as well as what appears to be half of a skull, twisted and covered in slagged roof tile.
Split my men into three parties, one each under each of my sub-inquisitors, and one under myself, split up and investigate the three nearest fires.
Popcheck.The Free Cities comprises of roughly one and a half million citizens.
Be the leader of the Goblin Republic.You are sadly not the leader of the glorious Goblin Republic. You are an underclerk in his office. Your name is Kik Filnass. You know that you are neutral with Valhalla currently, and at war with both the Free Cities and the North Reaches. The complex, shifting political state in the unaligned zone is barely even worth paying attention to, let alone recording. Some dictator was overthrown yesterday apparently, and his conquerors then started shooting each other.
Check on treaties
Check on military strength of Republic
Get known details of nearby nations
The Goblin Republic is of course the mightiest. Twenty-seven divisions split into five armies across two fronts. All other nations are worthless, and will be brushed aside at the Republic's convenience.
You read the Leader's mail. You are fairly sure most of that is trash.

If they surrender, take all their goods and hold them prisoner. Send them to the mainland for slave labor and questioning. Strip them of all arms and ammo as well, sending them mainland as well.

Gently slap self for not writing down the exact location of find before my flashlight burned out.
Identify the first fragment as, most likely, 'main computer'.
Request information:
Analyze current lighting conditions in greater depth. Review ability to get to the supply room and back without getting lost. Focus on ability to get TO supply room under scenario: (use flashlight) and scenario: (don't use flashlight).
Search for items:
Explicitly add currently-held notebook to inventory, hoping it's got more unused pages than normal.
Briefly but carefully fumble around to see if my brush is merely dropped rather than destroyed, WITHOUT using any items.
Should I fail, complain to the uncaring chair about the unfairness of a brush being a one-use item rather than a reusable tool

Dodge between the machine guns and drift the bike under the barbed wire. The team can shoot the enemies that try to stop us. When we get to the city, they can throw me over the walls so I can undertake the assassination myself.
150 tokens on them dying in 7 turns?
Right:
They all die in under 7 turns: 3:4
All die in under 5 turns: 1:2
All die in under 3 turns: 1:4
Survive longer than 7 turns: 1:4
Complete victory: 1:6
This applies to the XCOM game and rewards will be payed out on death or victory.

Send a few of my remaining men to retrieve the wreck. If they can't retrieve it, blow it up. If we can't have it, we'll at least make sure the enemy doesn't have it either.
You may not quite understand the Wreck. The Wreck is about nine hundred meters high, and more than ten kilometers long. An entire city is sited at one end, and the only entrance ever blasted into the almost-impenetrable hull is situated near the Reaches primary rail link with their heartland. Every major scientific advantage the Reaches hold, and most major innovations since gunpowder have come from recovered artifacts. It is probably visible from orbit.

:Drools:
I must've hit the jackpot during character creation. I was expecting to be onboard a small alien ship in a decaying orbit due to an alien making a mistake with the (now burned out) transporter, along with no xenolingual ability whatsoever. I was expecting to get a +1 boost on a d100 dice with moves such as "well, they may be aliens, but it's marginally more likely their culture followed human(?) patterns than not, so red buttons are more likely bad than not, therefore I push blue button instead of red button". All in exchange for a glass cannon...albeit a glass cannon that's almost impossible to hit...
I don't need to get HALF as many dice rolls giving me a perfect 5 (if you're using the roll to dodge/die system, that is, rather than the roll to dodge system) if I'm already a Daniel-Jackson class character on a grounded ship. With nigh-impenetrable hull.

You argue with the GM.
The gm thinks your argument has some merit, and decides that you need to roll a 3 or greater for your argument to be successfull.

However, there are a handfull of ways in which you can bypass the dice entirely, such as being a NINJA. what that means, exactly...well, you'll have to wait till tomorrow. or, well, much later today.
Also: passive defenses have more hp than active defenses.

1:4 they die in <=3 turns (next turn is 3rd turn, iirc)
1:4 they survive >7 turns
1:6 they complete the mission
And as another reminder, anyone can bet tokens. You start with 50 if you haven't bet fl-ABORT tokens before, and may bet more than you have as long as it's a real number (no i or infinity, those both count as 1).

Explicitly add currently-held notebook to inventory, hoping it's got more unused pages than normal.
Briefly but carefully fumble around to see if my brush is merely dropped rather than destroyed, WITHOUT using any items.
[/b]
Should I fail, complain to the uncaring chair about the unfairness of a brush being a one-use item rather than a reusable tool
When I said you have "ONE flashlight and two brushes", that was not an inventory statement, but a correction of your interpretation of the inventory. You had "Word fragmentsx2, flashlight, etc", and read it as "Word Fragments, 2x flashlight, etc"

Chapter 2: Bloodmoon:
You are dead.
Map of the Torn Isle
(http://i.imgur.com/8GKrcJu.png)
Map of the Lines
(http://i.imgur.com/Cv1Z4YM.png)
Go patrol among the company. Try to raise morale amongst the troops.You are petted and adored by the previously nervous crewmen as you make your way up and down the frontline trenches. You smell something strange, and start to feel restless.
Blockade the island; nothing gets in, nothing gets out. Fire on anything that does so. If they send forces, fire off torpedoes. If they send in shipping and cargo vessels, fire off the deck guns until they surrender or they are sunk. If they surrender, take all their goods and hold them prisoner. Send them to the mainland for slave labor and questioning. Strip them of all arms and ammo as well, sending them mainland as well.Your force continues to do so for several days, blockading all vessels, shooting at cargo ships until they surrender, then sending their crew back to Valhalla. In the meantime, yuo amuse yuorself by shelling coastal fortifications. A few days in, a convoy guarded by warships comes into view. You prepare to launch a torpedo attack, but an attendant blimp in the skies is tracking you below the surface. A fast destroyer starts to depth-charge you, and you are forced to the surface, upon which a group of men land on the sub and take you prisoner. On board the destroyer, the VHS 'Make My Day' a man with a beet-red face screams at you from an inch away 'WHY THE HELL YOU ARE SINKING ALLIED FUCKING CIVILIAN CONVOYS YOU DELUDED HALF-WITTED PIECES OF SHIT!?!'. A somewhat less volcanic man, informs you in a cold voice that you were supposed to be defending the island against Republic warships, not sinking Free City supply vessels. You are relieved of command, and sent back home in disgrace.
Begin construction of elephant mech. Wonder what happened to giant war machine being constructed in previous game.As you wonder what did happen to the Lost Goliath of the Mines, you excitedly explain to the other technicians this brilliant idea for an armored walker that bullets just bounce off, for breaking the enemy Lines. You are so intent, and they are so enraptured, that they do not hear the whistling of the shell. Another clutch of casualties in the war, to be joined by many more as the most lethal bombardment of the war yet demolishes the command zone.
You are dead.
Call in extra supplies to build machine gun turrets that barely just have guns poking out of the trenches. Arrange for some soldiers to have rockets in case of armored attacks.You send a runner back to the command post to ask for machine gunners, but the request is denied. You rig up some mortar flares though, to illuminate the battlefield during night attacks. You guess if they send an armoured car through, the flares would probably punch through a couple millimeters of armour. The deeper trenches now run further. Squads previously hiding in razorwire-filled craters are exceedingly grateful.
Call in for more men, start patrols at the lines and near the wreck if I am allowed to do that, make sure that EVERYONE going in the railway that is not a certified superior of me is searched entirely. Also try to research a better way to do modern warfare then using trenches.You ring up command, and they agree to send through another battalion from the rear to the Lines. You start patrols of men through the countryside, ranging from the command posts at the Lines, back to the town. After some serious bootlicking, you get unrestricted access to the Wreck Zone from the science commissioner, and start patrols around the edge. While it's impractical to search soldiers coming off the railway, you start checking the veterans back off the Lines and civilians. You get reports of massive shelling on the lines a few miles northwest of yours, and are glad you called for more soldiers. There will be many graves tonight.
Lukeinator didn't last long...I'm not sure whether to laugh at his incompetence at trying to seize controll of so much at once, or be worried about the unseen dice...You are pretty sure you know the way to the supply room. You just have to head back out through the red doors, then down the corridor, first left, then when you get the main tunnels, red wire back to the Supply Room, like that story about wool in a labyrinth. If you had to, you could do it in the very faint light that constantly seems to come from the whole ceiling, which just about lets you make out outlines. You put your notebook in your pocket, cursing yourself for not remembering where in this barn-sized room you got the fragment from.
Identify the first fragment as, most likely, 'main computer'.
Request information:
Analyze current lighting conditions in greater depth. Review ability to get to the supply room and back without getting lost. Focus on ability to get TO supply room under scenario: (use flashlight) and scenario: (don't use flashlight).
Search for items:
Explicitly add currently-held notebook to inventory, hoping it's got more unused pages than normal.
Do what is necessary for a promotionYou ask your boss if they'd l[DATA EXPUNGED DATA EXPUNGED EXPOSURE TO THIS DATA WITHOUT VIOLET CLEARANCE OR HIGHER IS TREASON DATA EXPUNGED DATA EXPUNGED DATA EXPUNGED DATA EXPUNGED]ve the office, feeling a little strange, clutching your new Manager Third Class ID card. You look up the civilian sectors. Wow, that's a lot, almost like there's a trade economy. You restrict your search to government-employed sectors, and find: Arkelogic korps, Department Of Supply Department for wartime resource management, STUNG, The Central bank, the Public Service Bureau, and the Civilian Service.
Look up various details of the various civilian sectors of the Goblin Republic
Take everything, see if I can jimmy open the safe. Examine the skull closer.You put everything into your servant's packs, then retrieve a crowbar and pry the door open. Inside is a small gold pendant, a copy of 'On serving your fellow humanoids', by Krek Silimnet - proscribed material -, and a few hundred Tok in coins.
Head out to the next fire.
Establish Lukeish Republic on small uninhabited Island near Vahalla.The island is not uninhabited, and is variably an ally of the Free Cities and the Reaches but your 'Lukia' political party does win the local elections in the main city.
Requisition or steal a choppa bike, pile the squad on the back, and get over to the west lines as quickly as possible.You kick a courier off his bike, strap yourselves to it, and roar your way across the Republic. At the Lines however, you are stopped from charging across No-man's land by a corporal, who points out that there are snipers everywhere across the line, and also that you seriously want to head a mile or so back from the Lines for a few hours. He looks around suspiciously, then whispers something in your ear.
Dodge between the machine guns and drift the bike under the barbed wire. The team can shoot the enemies that try to stop us. When we get to the cityThere is no sodding city, the cat is in the trenches, they can throw me over the walls so I can undertake the assassination myself.
Send a few squads of my men to assassinate a general or some other important person on the front lines.You decide that if you are to capture the Wreck, you should first take out the local commander, in order to distract them and enable a major push. You call up the Artillery Division and order a mass barrage on the enemy Lines. After a few hours of giant howitzer blasts, you order your task force to sneak across the dust and mud-covered zone. They point-blank refuse to be suicidal, so instead you shame them into following by charging across the field yourself, which they do. You take a stray bullet in the buttock, from gun-nests firing into the smoke, but manage to stumble along into the enemy trenches, upon which a severed arm falls on you from the final shell. You vomit as the rest of your men pull you into the relative safety of a dugout.

Post by: Dorsidwarf on January 18, 2014, 05:39:28 am
Express displeasure at funny feeling. Try to pinpoint the source, and growl, hiss, etc at it while backing away.You hiss, growl, and run around randomly, unnerving the soldiers. You cannot quite place it's origin, but it feels worse in some places than others. One of the soldiers near you starts coughing. The feeling is definitely getting worse, especially when you are in the bottom of the trench.

Map of the Torn Isle

Map of the Lines
(http://i.imgur.com/Cv1Z4YM.png)
Become general of Republics army, plot.You are BlekBlek, a Half-Half-fiendish Mammoth Goblin. You are an Underclerk in the Administrative Wing. You were promoted from Junior Clerk because some other guy got a promotion. As you sort through his old paperwork, you find a ledger full of something inside a cavity cut into a large technical manual.
Get the hell out the trench, hissing at the soldiers to do so as well. Paw at gas masks/respirators until they get the message. Once out of the trench - the side that leads towards our camp - run in a weaving pattern toward said camp as fast as possible.You plow through the mud, screeching and yowling. The men around you start casting nervous looks at each other. You claw at the emergency respirator crates, stacked neatly, until one comes over, then get the hell out of the trench. Gas is lethal to small animals like you long before it is to humans, after all. Screams begin to rise from the forward listening posts and men fumble for their respirator boxes as a yellow glow appears through the fog.
You spend a while searching the room diligently, brushing dust off areas that look promising. No luck yet, though. Your flashlight is about three-quarters charged.
oh, good, I can afford to run out of flashlights. maybe.
search for objects that look like they might match up with the word fragment(s), using the flashlight this time.Be ready to dust off interesting areas with brush.no, no, interesting is a synonym for distracting. Be ready to dust off relevant looking locations.
prepare defenses for the inevitable push, also if its a commando team trying to break through. go and try to get new weapons from the wreck.You beef up the town's fortifications, digging miles of sandbagged positions, and setting up field artillery. You approach the Chief Wreck Engineer on duty about some of the MegaDeath weapons kept in a safe inside a vault surrounded by thirty feet of concrete surrounded by guards for three floors above and below 24/7. He refuses.
Thank the corporal, get appropriately attired (completely obscured by armor and helmets and masks), and then proceed with plan, find the cat, and assassinate it.You gear up, wearing indistinct trench coats and gas masks. You crawl across the field in the wake of the gas, closer to the edge of the cloud than the less bold soldiers behind you. Screams come from ahead. The wind is faint, and the mustard gas is not moving fast. Pickets of machine gun fire are beginning to open up as gunner crews get to their masks.
Revive as archaeologist who just discovered the Lost Goliath of the Mines.You are Berl Hegemord, an archaeologist working in the Deep Cavern Zone. These caverns were created centuries ago, when the Old Shafts and the furnace works collapsed into natural caverns. Expeditions have reached as far as twelve kiolmetres below the surface of the earth, with no end to the caverns, or a bottom to the deepest pits. You are searching for a major reading your team recently got on the long-range metal pulse detectors. Expensive and unweildy, bought for a king's ransom from the Reaches government, the detectors could find a nail through a mile of rock. And there is something BIG down here. You want to know what it is
Store the loot in my servant's packs, but keep the book with me, don't want the wrong person to get their hands on it.You do so. This building is more intact. Charred bodies are being pulled from the rubble.
Head to the next checkpoint.
Bark at my men and tell them to get to work assassinating that general or something.You order your men to move up. They switch to their Reaches trench-coats, and file out of the back trenches as the bombardment comes to and end. You head with them until you reach a hill overlooking the Lines. From here you can actually see the Wreck, towering above the landscape. Nestled in it's colossal shadow is a fortified town. Some sort of building works going on.
Designate sentries to take shifts, train troops for Trench warfare. Ensure we have gas masks.You order Jim to stand first watch, and the rest of you get down to practicing hitting the dirt. Well, hitting the mud. You prised a crate of masks out of the mud, too.

In a similar vein to Pokemon Trainer, as well as Ice Climbers... Team Chaotix, as outlined in Sonic Heroes. 3 characters in one, that stick together as a group; you can change their moveset by changing their formation (like 'mon trainer), the others can act somewhat autonomously and act as expendable meat shields (like Ice Climbers).
Danger hides when the Hyper Bee flies, and the ninja stars fly too... the muscle is Vector, the Karma Collector, and he's sworn to fight for youu.....! *epic riffs*
Down special: Power Formation -> Fly Formation -> Speed Formation -> Power Formation
Special (Power): Jaw Crush (strong slam attack, like a slower Melee DK down special)
Special (Speed): Homing Attack (Similar to Sonic's, but weaker)
Special (Fly): Thunder Shoot (Launches Vector and Espio as projectiles)
Side Special (Power): Fireblast (Launch Espio and Charmy as projectiles)
Side Special (Speed): Spin Attack (similar to Sonic's, but weaker and not as far)
Side Special (Fly): Sting (Attack directly as Charmy, sometimes paralyzes)
Up Special (Power): Triangle Jump (slows descent, so technically a rescue, but leaves the team vulnerable)
Up Special (Speed): Leaf Swirl (Renders Espio and the team temporarily invisible; slight lift for rescue move, but not much)
Up Special (Fly): Quick Ascent (obvious from the name, lifts you up quickly. Rescue move)
Smash ball: Team Blast (A rocking performance blows foes outwards from the team, usually off the map)

Pretty sure "The Map" is intended as one of the seven mysteries of bay12. As in "we might actually never see it at all". And if we do get to see it, we will only get ghostly flickers of it - wich are not caused by mischievous .gif usage. Well, that or mastahcheese is lazy.

I wonder how well a Last Hero-like game would work long-term. It probably wouldn't be doable as a suggestion game. After all, once you know your options, there's zero randomness involved. Probably better as an RPG like this. We'll see once Birdy posts!It just needs more random elements.
Maybe skills could randomly become available or unavailable?
Complex areas could also help.

Huh. So you mean something like

where the complexity comes from opportunity cost and the number of factors that could change each turn (position, terrain stuff, enemy actions/reactions)? I guess that would get pretty hard to predict.

Use kinetic powers to push the foe's icon back in the turn order.

Four skills: Diplomacy, Magic, Stealth, Combat. Crafting counts as magic. Minimum 3, max 6, 16 points to distribute (4 after minimums). 4 volunteers. Pick a generic weapon, too ("sword" or "gun" are OK. "AK-47" is too specific)
Rolling mechanism is #-of-successes based, using drawn cards.
This is also a FL-abort event, placing bets on yourself or against yourself is allowed. 1:4 odds of a specific player winning, 1:2 on a specific player losing. Remember, FL-abort tokens are not legal tender outside of events arranged by flabort, me; these events have no real-world impact. Bettors betting for the first time start with 50 tokens, you may bet with more tokens than you have.

No action; Force Bolt if in range.

Trilby destroys the first Grinder Worm. Trilby gains a Potion!
Flimsy is no longer in range of anything.

The new foe moves just a little bit closer.

Trilby isn't in range to use Call Spirit, so he defaults to Dark Bolt (no cancel clause).
Flimsy uses Force Bolt!

contemplate.You find a tilted glass desk attached to a metal wall. Success! There's a snapped off bit of metal just like your own next to it.
Search again, focusing efforts on anything that looks like a..."tilted desk with stuff stuck to it".
Look in mystery folder, do a little paperwork.What the hell is this? Troop movements... Strategies... Classified communiques? How the hell did the previous occupant get this stuff?
Continue exploring the cave.You keep exploring. Your thingy is blipping softly in your backpack.
Light up some incense and inspect the area. How did this happen? What's in the building?After igniting an incense stick, you look around the shell. Charred corpses are strewn in a circle, facing outwards from the center, where there are scorchmarks on the floor.
Direct team to take out machine gunners while I look for that cat.Your squad fires back at the sounds of machine-gun fire, and a few screams fly out. You look for cats in the front line trenches. Nope, just men who did not run fast enough. One of them struggles for his gun, weeping and choking.
(Pre-action Questions) Are we in Valhalla allied with reachers? Secondly, how many subs do we have and how armed are we? And do we have a code system in place (ie u-boat alpha, rain on delta 2, etc. (translation: Submarine1 fire at D(elta)estroyer2)No, you are fighting the North Reaches to protect some of the unaligned states. there are four subs in the pack. You have torpedoes and 80mm deck guns. You have no code system, as you're speaking an entirely fabricated language over the intersub comms.
WHY WAS I IGNORED SO HARD DORSID?!?!?!You scream at the universe in anguish. You are a REZBOT, the oldest yet made. You are little more than an augmented skeletal figure. You have no inventory or position. You kill with your steelclad fists. RISE.
Ponder for a moment. Have people wearing gas-masks at all time. Send requests to HQ for mobile artillery units. Also, ask for additional reinforcements. If they give me both, ask for a promotion >:)You get a reinforcement. The reinforcement guy is more senior than you. He gets the glory for future victories. Damn.
Bark at my men again and tell them to just kill the general. I'll kill him myself if I have to.You do so. By now, they've forgotten what their original objective was, so they just charge off looking for a general to kill.
Retreat to a safe distance :read 'run the fuck away': and hide in one of the hiding spots I've undoubtedly found in the camp.You barely outrun the cloud, and bury yourself into a tangle of wet, smelly, muddy tarps in the rear camp. This protects you from the worst of the cloud, nose pressed into the mud. You are feeling utterly awful.

Eh, 3 will work. Just won't get to test all the aspects this time. This changes the odds for a specific player winning to 1:3, or losing to 2:3.
Hell is a big place. It has to be to fit all the souls from infinite universes; it's a universe unto itself, with planets and... well, there is no room for stars, all the planets are bound and locked together, and kept from crushing each other, with massive metal posts, forming a lattice as tight as carbon in a diamond. These posts are big enough to generate their own gravity and collect their own atmospheres, even. And the cities of Hell descend into the molten depths of each planet and rise into the dizzying heights of the air... and there's still not enough room.
The purpose of Hell is to collect souls and prepare them for reincarnation into the infinite universes, hopefully better than when they arrived. Still, no reformation clinic is perfect, especially when understaffed for the job. And while some souls are honored guests of the Heaven Apartment Chain (With over 7777 branches on each planet!), others are as bad as tightly packed prisoners, or worse. Real scumbags, mercenaries, despots, and politicians.
Three such souls were pretty much minding their own business, trying to avoid being noticed by the demonic and angelic wardens, when they got into a fight over who had more wealth and power in life.
You are standing in an alley, between a high-rise bar and brothel, and one of the Heaven Apartment Buildings. It is dark in the alley, but you can see by your own internal soul-light. There are a few other souls passing through the alley, but they are largely ignoring your argument. The closest street is a good kilometer away. You're not sure which of you pulled out your weapons first, but suddenly you're all brandishing them menacingly at each other.

Dodge the incoming fireball, and send an arrow into his being!
Suggest to Darkpaladin that taking out the guy with Omni-range sounds like a good idea.

What odds are you giving for the failure to survive to turn 4? Given the difficulty will be the highest possible?
I think the derail thread should be renamed as "derail and mini game thread" with the amount of steady derail games in hereThat's kinda why I renamed it to "The Derail Games" because it's become more mini-games than anything else.

No (bi?) daily update.
Post by: flabort on February 05, 2014, 08:08:42 pm
Um... I'd have to think about that. If it's XCOM again, the odds for surviving four turns, at "GM LAUGHS AT YOUR MISFORTUNE" level, I'd have to say 1:2, given the tenancy to turtle and eat up moves. Surviving past turn 6 hikes up to 1:4, and surviving past turn 8 is 1:6. Dying before turn 4 would be 1:3. These odds MAY have been adjusted to encourage a longer game...
Waiting on DarkPaladin109. Would love to do the turn tonight....

Pot calling the kettle here - YOU just make sure that you don't land us in an asteroid field. Or near pirates, far too near a sun or worse yet - into the arms of the enemy. Shield-Room o~ver.Well... We can blame the pilot for that. I say we go on a littel detour before we pick up extra supplies. How much scrap do we have? 10? Nowhere near enough for us to grab some goodies along the way. I think the Kestrel could use a glaive beam, but we need scrap to get a hold of one. Its all on vote, and I think Pilot gets final say since, you know, he's PILOTING the damn thing.

Hit him with a fireball.Cast a ♦ spell at mastahcheese as I flee from the alley.All spells are ♦ spells, that's what ♦ is. Care to elaborate, or do you intend to make mastahcheese invulnerable?
Dodge the incoming fireball, and send an arrow into his being!Fireball: K♣ 4♥ 2♣ 9♥ 8♣ 9♦: 6+1 success, 6 awful (Overshoooot!)
Dodge: 8♣ 6♠ J♣ 4♦ 9♠: 5 success, 1 awful, 1 redraw (6♥, no additional bonii) (Critical!)
Arrow: 9♣ 8♠ 2♣ 7♥: 5+2 success, 3 awful (Critical!)
Dodge: 2♣ A♥ A♣: 2 success, 4 awful, 2 redraw (6♠ K♥:+3 success, +1 awful) (Overshoot!)
Do nothing (♠/♥): 10♥ 3♥ 6♦: 3 successes, 1 awful (Critical!)
Elephant Parade roars with indignation. His magic power afforded him the highest rank of Wizardcrats, and he ruled planets upon planets in his world. That weapons would be pointed at him is an outrage, and Gabthamu Phthagor!
Mastahcheese immediately propels himself upwards, something he could not do were he not reduced to a soul here in Hell. He climbs upwards, chased by a massive pillar of flame... which propels Elephant Parade upwards, and is drilling a hole through the ground below. Somehow, the spell came out of his back-end instead of his hands as intended, and the miscast is draining much of his soul essence, causing his internal light to ebb. Mastahcheese prepares an arrow, aims behind himself, and releases; the arrow flies true, passing between passerby's and right at Elephant Parade. He tries to avoid it, but the backfiring spell causes him to turn to far, and he goes into a violent spin that tears him apart and sprays him across the alleyway.
DarkPaladin does his best to look innocent beside the smoldering hole left behind, and blend in with passing spirits. In fact, they pay him just as much mind as they were before, and he starts sneaking off in a group of them.
Elephant Parade: ♠3 ♣3 ♥4 ♦6
+Tome (Omnirange, +1♦ success)
KINDA DEAD. Soul scattered, will take several months to reform.
Mastahcheese: ♠5 ♣4 ♥3 ♦4
+Bow (Med-to-Long reach, +2♣ success)
darkpaladin109: ♠3 ♣5 ♥3 ♦5
+Frightening Polearm (Close-to-Med-range reach, +1♣or♥ success)
Obviously I made the Criticals too easy to get. Should I make next turn use the current criticals as an ordinary success and criticals be 1.5x harder to get? Also, some very bad luck for EP, who gets 1.5 tokens back for his bet against himself!

Haah, maan. Allright, allright, sorry, my bad. Either way... No sign of 'dem bastards yet, right? I say we can take the small detour to the north-eastern gate, with time to spare. We will end up hiding in the nebula in this sector soon either way, so let's make the most of it.
As long as EP doesn't get us trapped in a storm like my last crewmates did, we'll be fine. Damned slugs and their bio-weapons and their nebulas... *grumbles angrily*
EDIT:
I'm gonig to bed right now, so to advance things along, fight in any combat scenario if they don't have missiles, in which case you'll have to wait for me to make a final decision unless the others agree. Fire on shields/weapons first, unless they have drones, in which case, shields/drones/weapons.

Diplomance 2nd chance (♥): 5♦ A♦ 6♥: 2+1 successes, 2 awful, 1 redraw (2♥: +1success, +2 awful) (Catastrophe!)
DarkPaladin brandishes his pole arm menacingly, and with a shade of magic in his voice, commands the spirits around him to attack, failing to specify a target. They immediately take notice of the attempt at manipulation, and seeing his nasty weapon, attack without mercy. They pull his soul apart, absorbing parts of his essence into their own, and scattering the rest.
Meanwhile, a certain tome falls against the sidewalk, splitting open to a certain page. This page bursts with multicolored light, and bits of soul are quickly drawn into it from the walls of the alleyway. Within moments, Elephant Parade has reformed thanks to his contingency plan; he didn't even attract the attention of any demons!
Mastahcheese, taking advantage of the lightshow, manages to travel several hundred meters away, over halfway to the closest street, without being noticed.
Elephant Parade: ♠3 ♣3 ♥4 ♦6
+Tome (Omnirange, +1♦ success)
Mastahcheese: ♠5 ♣4 ♥3 ♦4

Well, despite a penalty, EP manages to get BACK IN, and we see the first Joker Draw. The modified success/critical ratio means that we would have gotten 3 non-criticals this turn, baring the Awful System, which turned two of them into catastrophes. Try to guess what yields redraws so far. ;)

Also, I've went ahead and made the X-COM: Enemy Within game thread (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136205.msg4991496#msg4991496), so you can go join that if you want.
(Yes, I know about the whole "multiple projects" thing, but after trying those test games, I realized that this is surprisingly easy for me to do, and it's something I think I could run for a rather long time without getting burned out on it.
Mainspring has a lot of players that I have to wait on, and I will prioritize that when I have people's actions, and the small FTL game I'm running can only really be updated late at night, since I can't save that in any spot that I want, and all the players tend to not be online until later. Again, I will prioritize that over the X-COM game.)
Here, let me go ahead and sign this little document for you all so you can shove it in mah face later if you feel like it.

Disenchantment: 3♦ 6♥ 4♦ K♥ 2♥: 4 successes, 5 awfuls (Devestation!)
Mastahcheese ascends upwards, way upwards. To the others, he disappears from sight entirely, even if they weren't so focused on each other. His archer's eyes can easily spot them, though.
Elephant Parade puts up a magic shield, a barrier around himself, to protect himself from the magically enraged homicidal spirits on the ground. They start ganging up another spirit that hadn't been in the range of Darkpalidin's botched command spell (very unsuccessfully), when a demon arrives on scene, attracted by the noise. He uses his massive bladed chain to knock down the crowd of souls, and mashes them into a soul-y paste. He starts casting a spell to split them back up, sort them out, and a bolt of energy surges back at him, draining out his power and causing him to disappear! This surge of energy is the tipping point needed for Darkpalidin to reform from the pieces of his soul the other souls tore off. He steps out of the puddle of soul-stuff, and claims the demon's chain, dismissing his other weapon temporarily.

Dodge: 3♠ 6♥ Q♣: 3+2 successes (barely Success, vs Mega crit though)
Darkpaladin attaches one weapon to the other to create a fearsome looking but ultimately worse weapon. Elephant Parade fires an equally fearsome beam that spans from alley-wall to alley-wall, and drags it across the alley in hopes of hitting his far-away target. Which would have worked, if Mastahcheese were unable to see the beam coming, or unable to duck into a window in the highrise bar. As is, it scorches his foot as he ducks away. Inside is basically a foot of beer on the floor, and a number of very drunk spirits laughing and enjoying eachother's company. Some of them are pointing at the beam of light outside the windows as it streaks past each one, but most just ignore the events taking place. Some of the demon bar tenders look up at the light, but go back to pouring beer on the floor and polishing skulls.
Grabbing an arrow from his memory of past lives, Mastahcheese accidentally grabs four at once, and puts them all to his string with one hand. He takes aim out the window, using his sharp sight to pick out his targets. (+3 redraws next turn)
Darkpaladin pulls a fairly impressive feat himself, swinging the unwieldy pole-chain in such a major arc, that it would have thrown him off balance; he keeps his balance, however, and instead his powerful stance causes the pavement to crack and crater around his feet. The blade strikes the shielded mage full on, shattering his barrier and slicing him clean in two, even slicing his tome in half! The chain then slides to a halt, spraying up a very visible trail of sparks.

Post by: escaped lurker on February 09, 2014, 05:52:36 am
For those wondering why I ever would choose this colóur to post, It is simply because we seem to have run out of other useable ones. Through shrewd investigation, I percieve that I also am one of the only players using it normally in my other posts. Thus it would be quite fitting for me, and shall be my colour - unless any choice that is clearly different from the rest of the palette that is already in use comes my way. But, without further ado, the derail!
GODLY WARS OF THE OCTAGONIAL PLANE
At some point in time - a concept that flows really quite differently for the gods of most planes - the gods of this one decided that, while their creations were fun to watch by themselves, they should impose on them an undertaking to prove their worth. What translates to "hold a battle royale" in mortal terms. But instead of just calling on one of their champions, they would leave it to their own random godly games as to what type of warrior - if one at all - would be called. Also the order in which they would go, would be decided by the same, mortally unfathomable games. And thus they played...
(http://www7.pic-upload.de/09.02.14/jykgcfkh468.png)
The Rules:
Winning and Loosing:
- Step unto the Central Ambiguity, and after that stay there for 2 Rounds to Win
- Be the last one standing to Win
- Be killed, or not the successful channeler on the Central Ambiguity to loose
Terrain:
- The terrain is the physical embodiment of the specific gods, thus boni and mali will be applied
- Terrain of your own god will give +2 to all rolls
- Terrain of his close silblings will give +1 to all rolls
- Terrain of your own gods rival will give -2 to all rolls
- Terrain of your own gods rivals close silblings will give -1 to all rolls
- Stepping unto the Central Ambiguity is special~
Movement and Combat:
- You get a certain amount of Moves each Turn. Moving unto one of the 8 adjectant tiles takes one Movement.
- Combat may occur after a Mortal comes into one of the 8 tiles directly adjectant to another Mortal.
- Combat always takes one movement from the assaulter
- Since all Players will give their orders simultaneously, Initiative will be rolled every turn
Assault:
- MELEE-Assault will take you unto the tile of the Assaulted. His Terrain will thus be applied to you.
- RANGED-Assault will not have you leaving your tile, but if the defender is MELEE he will enter it on his counterstrike.
- MAGIC-Assault will not be influenced by Terrain, and else be handled like RANGED Assault.
- DIVINE-Assault is special~
Races and Classes:
- They differ. Greatly. Duh.
- Every Race may only be choosen or rolled once
- Every Class may only be choosen once, but only if unrevealed
- Once revealed, a Class may only be obtained through the dice on creation
Quests:
- They are simple, and give a boon
- You always get one from your god
- Some Races might have one of their own~
Guessing Conundrums:
- If you guess wrongly, the dice decide
- Every Race is already bound to a god
- If you guess a Race from another God's Element, you will obviously convert to him
- If two players guess the same Class, first come first served will be apllied
- If two players guess a Race from the same Sphere, the later player's choice will be counted as invalid
- Since nothing is revealed at the start, happy guessing~

Once again, waiting on Darkpaladin, as Mastahcheese and Elephant Parade have submitted (admittedly vague) actions. Also, since Escaped Lurker has shown interest in spawning in, I guess anyone who submits stats is welcome to join in.
Stats are Stealth (♠), Combat (♣), Diplomacy (♥), and Magic (♦). Minimum 3 for each, max 5, 16 total (which is 4 points after minimums).

My bad, did not go back that far / to that segment. Fixing~
Lurkerling; ♠ 5, ♣ 5, ♥ 3, ♦ 3
Action: Sneak up on Mastahcheese, do stabity-stab! And not particulary because he is the only one of the 3 players that has not posted for my derail yet. Nope~, just randomly trying to piss of the - more or less de-facto "gm" of this thread. ;P (Or not trying to piss of those that have posted for my derail. Choose your pick~ ^^ )
Well, only half of you used the "transparent" color-tag, but sure, you are doing it right. In theory.
Note to Lukeinator - Doing it right, but you can guess a Race or Class. Or leave it to the dice as you do now, either way is fine.
Note to Flabort - By the "First come first served" rule, Lukeinator picked "Fire" before you. Making it an invalid choice / putting your fate to the dice.
Note to Elephant Parade - By the "First come first served" rule, Flabort picked "Elf" before you. Making it an invalid choice / putting your fate to the dice.
Yeah, kinda my bad here - I should have mentioned that the player-cap for the first round is 4 Players / 1 Player per Sphere. Well, testing it - and finding the faults within - is one of the reasons why I posted it here afterall... So I will see my fault as a success in this manner! Ha-ha, attitude is everything. I guess.
Since it is somewhat late, and I am somewhat~ drunk~ right now, I'll be posting your sheets / the introduction for the first round at some point next morrow, so feel free to change your sheets in the mentioned points. Or whatever way you please, but do note that I will order you along the timescale of "Post-time" and "Last Edit", so play nice~

It's surprisingly dwarfy, when you think about it.

*powers on main guns*Since this is the only suggestion, and I want to get some sleep, we're going with this.
"SLAVER SCUM! EAT MISSILES!"
ON BOARD THE KESTREL: DIE SLAVER SCUM
Pilot Parade opens up the comms. "Hey guys, what are we going to do ab-"
"OPEN FIRE" The weapons officer, Highmax, called out, and battle was joined!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
A bolt of plasma takes down the shields, and another rocket impact along the hull, but Highmax opens fire with a missile to their shield generator, taking it down, followed by a three shot burst of laser fire. They surrender!

Do you accept a slave, or continue the fight?
Post by: mastahcheese on February 11, 2014, 01:08:49 am
(Right after accepting the slave, the slaver ship exploded anyway. I'm guessing from a fire.)
His name is Olaffson. Also, right now Lurker is hanging out in the weapons control with Highmax until the shield room returns to having oxygen, since the fire spread out of the medbay. Lurker repaired the shield room and the medbay, so he now has a bit of skill with repairing stuff.
So, WHO WANTS TO BE OLAFFSON?

Speaking of which, welcome aboard Olaffson! Too bad about the other slaves that we couldn't save... Into the nebula we go; after taking a hit or two, I don't think we'd want to take chances with the rebels... Olaff, if you don't mind, can you man the engine bay? We could use some extra boost to our thrusters. *mumbles something about plasma storms*
Full speed ahead into the nebula! They'll never find us there! *prays it isn't a plasma storm*

The wall has entered a bonus banana round.
All players, stunned or not, get an extra turn to attack (or heal) the wall with banana related things.
To heal the wall, place [heal] at the start and proceed as if you were attacking the wal
You will either get a multiplier of 0, or a multiplier of 10,000.
Complicated plots have a larger chance of stumbling across the key to getting that 10k multiplier.
Your hint: the wall is still made of chocolate...

I still won't be updating anything for a while. I went to the doctor's recently, and was put on more medicine (I am now on two different prescription strength pain killers, the first one wasn't enough on its own) and the newest one makes me incredibly dizzy and disoriented when I take it, so I haven't really felt up to anything.
I know it has been forever since I updated anything, or was productive and any form at all, and I apologize, but if I felt I could handle it, I would try, but I just don't feel like I can.
I updated the poll so you guys can yell at me if you feel like it, in true Derail fashion.
Also, this post is a massive BUMP for all the different games in here. Seriously, you guys, you shouldn't need the OP to come around to keep a derail going. You certainly didn't need me to annihilate my original game.

Guys... this thread was started in November and already has this many posts... I've only ever seen this rate of growth in a disney movie knockoff game by a popular GM and an RTD where the players spent the whole 30 odd pages arguing before the game failed from critical mass of disputes...Anything involving magical girls or freeform RPs don't count.
mastacheese, he's referencing the Frozen knockoff by GWG, only growing at such a rate because it has notorious freeform RPers playing in it.

Then the pain starting to spread to the back of my mouth, then the side of my tongue, then over through the roots of my teeth, until it hurt all the way over to my ear.
Right now, the pain seems to be receding, so I'm hopeful I'm in the final stretch.

Also, I've went ahead and made the X-COM: Enemy Within game thread (http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=136205.msg4991496#msg4991496), so you can go join that if you want.
(Yes, I know about the whole "multiple projects" thing, but after trying those test games, I realized that this is surprisingly easy for me to do, and it's something I think I could run for a rather long time without getting burned out on it.
Mainspring has a lot of players that I have to wait on, and I will prioritize that when I have people's actions, and the small FTL game I'm running can only really be updated late at night, since I can't save that in any spot that I want, and all the players tend to not be online until later. Again, I will prioritize that over the X-COM game.)
Here, let me go ahead and sign this little document for you all so you can shove it in mah face later if you feel like it.

There will be no pictures of any kind, because lazy, I would update the Kestrel game, but uploading pictures is work compared to text.

Gender: Male
Skills: Bootsticuffs, Cross Country Marathon
Bio: Mr. MacCurren was abandoned by mother and family shortly after his birth; it was just too much work and pain raising a child that wasn't pure, or that didn't belong to his mother's husband. And there just wasn't enough food, ever. Roger just kept getting thinner and thinner. But out in the wild, he started to scavenge bugs, mosses, and eventually squirrels and birds and other things that were just too fast for a pure human to catch by hand. He ate and ate and ate, and quickly the forest was too empty of game to support him either. At this point, he was a young man, his younger pure siblings able to fire arrows and take game home, and to hunt him.
He left the forest, because his high metabolism and higher speed were unwelcome there. He eventually came to serve as a messenger, delivering notes faster than any horse or bird, hunting in a range of several kingdoms space while on his trips. He would share his game with the lords and knights whom he delivered his messages to, but there were never leftovers. Usually he eats him meat raw, but will cook it when sharing with someone who would appreciate it. He favors wild boar and snowy owl.
Race: Half-Human. Other half indeterminate mix of 5 or so.
Whoops, longer description then I meant to type. Well, this universe's RM is a bastard messenger who catches and eats raw animals.

Race: Human; see this video. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0)
Bio: Flimsy Wizard has always been flimsy. He decided to become a wizard, since wizards are flimsy. He knew he possessed magic talents after a strange day when he cast a multitude of magic spells, including meteors, hurricanes, and a spell that summoned a magic abomination. Flimsy Wizard ran from the abomination; unfortunately, it saw him. He kept running and running and running and running and running and running and running and running and running and running and running and running and running and running until he was cornered. He struck the abomination with a fireball and my mom got scared And said, “You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.” I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought, “Nah, forget it. Yo home to Bel-Air!” I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 And I yelled to the cabby yo holmes smell ya later Looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air. Flimsy Wizard then went to magic school, where he became a master of explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions and more explosions.

I am still slightly sick, but it is almost over, I'd say it has about 1/10 of its health bar left.
But I also have to go back to work tomorrow, and they gave me a stupidly long shift compared to normal, but I'll see if I have the energy to get back to updating after work tomorrow.
Mastacheese is now out recovery mode! Yay!
Mastacheese cancels work on map: extended shift hours

I'm just upset today due to the schedule leaving one of my co-workers completely on her own for an hour, against a lineup of ~80 people waiting for coffee and in a hurry to get back to class, with the usual insurmountable task of getting everything ready for closing later in the evening too. I mean, yeah, there's other evening staff who arrive later to help with the second one, but they haven't got enough training!
Sigh. I guess there's no point in complaining about this. I need to find some random awesome shit to cheer me up and share.
Post by: Remuthra on March 06, 2014, 09:11:44 pm
Oh, don't get me started on work schedules. If my managers don't wise up to the midshift and evening staff's concerns, and put more staff on the gap between shifts and/or close, they will get a very strictly worded letter.How terrifying.
Post by: mastahcheese on March 06, 2014, 09:27:44 pm
And these people have to yell for help every 5 seconds, because they can't handle that, I literally can do twice the amount that three of my co-workers can do, by myself.
And it ticks me off every time I point this out to someone, because even the managers have acknowledged this, and they refuse to either get rid of the useless people, or give me any sort of bonus for this.
This is one of the main reason I hate working where I do.

Captain Parade could tell from the thing's energy signatures that it now had its weapons online.
"Prepare to fire!"
The ship decloaks, and bolts of energy streak across the void and impact against a part of the hull!
Highmax charges the lasers!
He opens fire! The heavy laser tears apart their weapon's systems, and he changes aim of the burst lasers to their engines, shredding it!
They're almost destroyed!
"Heavy laser recharged, firing."

Just a general note, I won't be updating today because my mouse ran out of batteries and I don't have more, so I have to use a different mouse that uses larger batteries. The reason I can't update with it is because it fails to properly register half of the movements I do with it, I can barely browse the forum without raging at it, let alone actually try to do something like updating that requires precision.Take your time, we can wait. (We've kind of gotten practice with patience, what with you getting sick and all that.)

FIRE IN THE HOLE! We're strapped for cash and if they value their lives, we can get a free weapon out of it!
Fire and laugh like a madman! Aim for their weapons with 1 missile and blast their shields wot the burst laser!
It's audacious enough to work. But first listen to their tales- forewarned is forearmed.

"FIRE!"
Highmax begins to charge up the weapons!
The Slugs fire their weapons! A blue bolt impacts against the shields, and a laser would have struck the ship, were it not for the evasive captain Parade!
Highmax returns fire!
The rockets soars through space, and collides perfectly with the enemy's weapons systems! The burst laser makes short work of the shield, and damaged their generator! He shuts down the launcher and powers up the heavy laser!
The heavy laser knocks out their shield again, and the burst laser shreds the generator!
"They've got weapons online again!" Lurker called out over the intercoms!
"Not for long!" Highmax replied, pulling the trigger on his heavy laser!
"Son of a b*^&, I missed." He switched over to his trusty burst weapon.
"FIRE!"

I must say that went swimmingly, you didn't take even a single point of damage thanks to EL getting the shields back up fast enough, and EP actually dodging a shot with Olaf manning the engines.That was why I voted the power so we don't have to alternate. I'm thinking of upgrading our engines. Weapons are important, but so is hull damage prevention. I had a ship that dodged every shot and blocked anything that managed to hit (except missiles, hwich is why I died at the final guy)
Well played.

Yeah, the first game of this I ever played, I just maxed out shields and evasion.My best run was I maximized my weapons and had two burst lasers MK III and I ripped everyone apart with boarding crew and a volley of lasers that ripped apart most ships...
Worked pretty well, overall.
Until one fight where my entire boarding crew got FTLed away by a crew that was preparing to jump

No! Magic is always better!(3) Your argument gives Not-Fighter some pause.
Curse my lack of money, and then attempt to walk out the door.(1) While cursing, you bite your tongue. Then when you try walking out, you trip on the floor. You are temporarily in pain, giving you -1 to all rolls until healed or after 5 turns.
Buy a drink for Scotsmen, since he has no money and I do.(4) You buy Scotsmen a drink for 5 gold.
Not Wizard: Sigh and start looking around for a mysterious cloaked old man who will dispense quests.(3) You don't find a mysterous cloaked old man, but you do find a mysterious cloaked man. He offers you a quest to go clear a bandit encampment to the north of the town.

"We've got boarders incoming!"
The ship's sensors could detect the opening and closing of doors on the enemy ship. Someone made it to the transporter room.
INTRUDER DETECTED
The ship's cameras were offline due to the storm, they wouldn't know where it was until it was on top of them.
"Can Mantis's survive without air?" Captain Parade chimed in, before opening all the doors on the ship that didn't contain a crewmember.
Highmax fired a volley of laser fire into the enemy's shields, slightly damaging the weapons control.
A rocket soared through the intervening space, and made impact next to the Shield generator room that Lurker was in!
All of the sudden, the room that controlled the doors was destroyed!
"Sabotage! They're in the control room!"
The doors to the shield room swung open, and a Mantis stepped in to assault Lurker!
Lurker ran to the weapon's control, and ordered Olaffson to meet him there, if it was a fight they wanted, it was a fight they'd get!
"Why did you leave the shield room!?!" Highmax shouted at him as he arrived.
As if by grand fate, a missile impacted against the shield room right as he finished his sentence.
"Maybe that killed the Mantis! Olaffson, on me!" Lurker ran back to the shield room, only to be stopped by the heavily wounded Mantis as it stormed into the weapon's control!
"KILL HIM!"
They made quick work of the intruder, but lurker was grievously wounded.
"Olaffson, get the doors back online, we've got no air, and I need to get into the medbay!"
Missiles continued to stream into the hull.
Highmax unleashed a full volley of laser fire into their weapon's bay, and tore it to shreds!
"Do we have shields online?" Lurker called.
"Not yet, we don't have the doors working, either!"
"F*^% this!" Highmax called out, as he sent another barrage soaring into the enemy ship!

...
"Olaffson, do you read me?"

Overhear the quest Not Wizard is given, and go over and offer to help, in exchange for a bit of gold.
Use GM powers to increase the difficulty of the quest, then tag along.(6) You increase the difficulty a bit too much. Have fun fighting more than one boss!
Not Wizard:(6) He tells you that it's leaders are two brothers, known for their ferocity in battle, and that they primarily use axemen and hammermen. He also tells you that the reward is 100 gold to be split amongst you, and whatever else you find in the camp. However, he says that he needs you to retrieve an item from the camp for him. He says you'l know it when you see it.
1: On Flimsy Wizard's argument - HO HO HO let us see who will be most effective on this quest!
2: Scotsman: I suggest we split the earnings from this quest among us, so if gold there be, gold you will have!
3: Ask the mysterious cloaked man what he knows of the encampment, and what the reward will be.
Go on quest to improve arcane power.(1) What do you think this is, a minimalist RTD? You attempt to quest, but get knocked out and forget about it immideatelly. However, you remember that you have two additional abilities: Weak Elemental Manipulation and Magic Bolt.
I swear, these rolls....
I've got some more basic ideas for this now. For one, all wizards gain a couple of minor abilites: Weak Elemental Manipulation (Think lighting a torch or creating a small orb of light) and Magic Bolt (Weak ranged spell with -1 to damage but +1 to accuracy). The additional abilities are mostly to compensate for their lower starting HP. Let me know if that's too strong.

Also bumping for my game. I'l wait a day or two for EP and Leo to post, then I'l PM them.
Thinking about it a bit, if you were to ever run EVO again Mastahcheese, a imporvement would be to add NPC's that carnivorous species can feed on, for example. Just a random though from a while ago.

As you set foot upon yon camp, you find it in ruins. Instead of bandits, you find a group of six large machines, each of them armed with some sort of shield on each of their hands. The shields shapes vary, as do the colors of the machines. One of them eyes you suspiciously, before somehow alerting the rest. They turn towards you, ready to fight.
Posting the turn shortly. Meanwhile, feel free to guess as to where I took the hastily added enemies from.

This is why you don't post results until the poll closes.There's an option of looking at the votes yourself and then refreshing to cast the vote. Posting current results just speeds it up and showcases oddities. Like how often this specific poll is being tied.

Stats: 2-5 each, total must be 15
♠: Aggressive
♣: Defensive
♦: Magic
♥: Diplomacy
Each stat has suit benefits and suit penalties.
One skill can be used to boost another (For example, using Aggressive to boost Diplomacy by intimidating a guard, or using Magic with Diplomacy to create Diplomancy. Generally using magic to attack will be Magic boosted by Agressive), by adding it's value and suit penalties (but not it's suit benefits).
ALL rolls/draws are opposed draws. If there is no obvious opposition, then the opposition is the environment. The environment may get stronger as what you are attempting to do gets crazier.
Pick two major pieces of equipment that define your character's role. You start with 200 credits each.
While this is using one of the possible roll systems for MultiLayers of Hell, this game will not be set in my version of Hell. This is a Fantasy/Space adventure.
You are a team of adventurers, recently victorious over a nest of dragon hatchlings. The fight was fierce, and you lost two members of your band of 5; you are lucky they were barely a century old, and the mother dragon was no where to be found. You are at the gates of a metropolis, a major hub of activity on this planet, one of 3 places on the planet with a dock above it. You can see the great spire rising up past the visible atmosphere to where many vessels are surely docked.
This entrance is by a mercantile district, with an open market ahead and surely many businesses to be found.

Woo! Wizard fight! I'll get the whiskey!While I'd be excited for that too, I tried to make it clear that this is not PvP...
OK, we have our three players. Once EP fixes his sheet, we can begin properly. Edit: thanks. :)
Your IDs check out, the attendant at the gate passes you through. You are immediately in the open market, with dealers hawking their wares at you. Various food items seem to be the most common fare, although magic trinkets and household furnishings are also present. A hailer on his platform hovers above the crowd, yelling out deals. Another calls for adventurers (such as yourselves) to defend his far-off settlement against the planet's native flora... or maybe fauna, it's hard to tell. More criers are off in the distance, and the market is busy today.
An airlift is nearby for the option of heading to the second level, where there are presumably more stores. One can usually hail a wagon to fly them across the city, too.

Elephant Parade eagerly aproaches the crier with an offer to help. The fast talking crier hears it, and before he knows it, Elephant Parade is making arangements for his group to travel 2 systems over on their own budget, and signing a contract for 100 credits to be divided on the condition that they prevent any colonists from being injured for a week.
The door to the airlift closes silently behind Mastahcheese, and the floor drops out from beneath him. He momentarily drops, but is then lifted up by the gentle currents. Arival at the second level is smooth, with a solid field forming under his feet as the current cuts out. Up here are several buildings packed close, with window fronts facing the streets. There are holes in the streets in places for vehicles to enter the second level from below, but guard rails prevent pedestrians from falling through. Some stores that catch your eyes carry the latest fashions displayed on exagerated dummies. This planet is persistantly hot, with only the poles being hospitable, so the clothes avalible are typically revealing. Another store carries various computing devices such as phones and spelltabs, which are the current display items. A few chain resteraunts are visible, as well as the local small buisnesses.
3 diplomacy +5(+2.5(3) cards, -1 per ♠) magic 6♥ 8♦ 8♣ 8♠ K♦ (6S 2C) vs 6 diplomacy 6♠ J♦ J♠ J♣ Q♠ Q♦ (<-I shuffled, I swear) (-1.5S 8C) (Advantage Actor, Critical Dodger)
A lot of the trinkets in the market are junk like self-fliping pocket creds or wands for training cantrips. However, with a sly toungue and a trained eye, Fractalman talks his way into locating some really cool stuff, and haggle a good deal for them, too.
Avalible goods:
K♣ Autonomous Combat Golem: 2♠8♣1♦ A human sized fighter made of robotic components and a magic brain. 170 credits
2♣ Wand of Summon Food: Handy. 60 credits
A♥ Portal Frame: with the proper spells, this technological marvel can open a two way wormhole almost anywhere. However, it's time consuming to use and horribly expensive. 480 credits, even at 75% off.
9♠ A crystal bracelet. Your experience with such things tells you that it can be used to boost offensive magic. 80 credits.
4♦ A floppy hat. This one has a holographic HUD and can sync with your spelltabs, for quicker access. 100 credits.
A clock chimes, letting everyone know it is 2:00 Sol time. Since the city sits near the polar edge, night here is artificial; time in the city is much the same as on sol.

NOT WIZARD: Jam my Fighter Staff into the gears of a machine and leap on its back, trying to yank on the staff and get it to swerve into another machine.(5) You quickly jump onto the red-colored machine and attack it with your staff. +1 for surprise attack.
(3+1+1)vs(6)
You attack it, but it brings up it's shields in a flash and blocks most of the damage.
Damage roll: (4/2)vs(2)
Despite a relatively solid hit, the machine's shields still block the damage.
Do the same as Not Wizard, only with a claymore rather than a staff.(2+1) You attempt to follow Not-Fighter as he jumps onto one of the machines, but find that your claymore is too heavy to let you do that. You manage to close some distance, but you can't get close enough to attack.
Stare intently at the machine until it breaks. Use my GM powers.(5) You look over to the blue-colored machine and stare at it for a few moments.
Damage roll: (1)
The machine lets out a small spark, but that's all.
Cause all the machines to explode.(3+1) You use your magic to mess with the blue machines inner workings.
(5+1) The machine takes heavy amounts of damage, letting out several gouts of smoke as it lays stunned for a moment, before getting back up.
Highmax, the Exo-Toa suit appears. He attacks one of the machines.
Random Bohrok target: (6) He opens fire on the Kohrak with his Electro Rocket Launcher.
Hit roll: (6)vs(2) Highmax's aim remains true and hits the Kohrak head on.
Damage roll: (3+4=7)vs(3)
The Kohrak is knocked back for a few seconds before getting back up. It takes 4 damage.
ENEMY TURN
Tahnok's shiels light up as it prepares to unleash a burst of flame at NotWizard.HR: (6)vs(2) It hits
DR: (4+1)vs(2)=3
Not wizard only takes 3 damage from the blast.
Gahlok shoots out a sphere of concussive water at (3) Mastahcheese
(2)vs(1+1)
His mighty GM powers let him take the hit without any injury at all.
Kohrak shots out several small shards of ice at Highmax.
(4)vs(4)
Most of the shards miss, but a few barely hit him.
(6)vs(6)
His armor destroys the shards upon impact.
Can't be bothered to do turns for EVERY SINGLE ON THE ENEMIES RIGHT NOW.

The whiskey is about on par with the staff; two couple bottles of it, with 3 servings each. The bottles are also ID tagged for discounted refilling. Each helping of booze increases ♠Aggressive draw, but decreases ♣Defensive and ♥Diplomatic draw. It lasts for around an hour, but the time increases exponentially with the servings consumed at once.
The staff negates the penalty for ♠ cards with ♦ draws by turning them into +.5C instead of -.5S. I'd say the whiskey is probably the better choice for a combat oriented character.
I'm also interpreting "Leap into the store" as "track down Fractalman and the merchants he found".
Drawing cards now. Edit: Done.
3 Diplomacy 4♥ Q♠ Joker (2♥ J♣) (-1.5S 3C) vs 5 diplomacy 3♣ 8♠ J♥ Q♥ K♥ (4.5S 4C) (Dodger advantage, Dodger crit)
Someone brushes past on his way out, and the security alarm goes off as Mastahcheese enters the tech store. His magic robe does nothing to help convince the store owner that he didn't just try to rob the guy, and look, a whole shelf of phones is empty! uh-oh. The owner gets furious, and starts throwing phones to disuade the "thieving mage" from staying. On they way out, though, 3 of the thrown phones manage to find their way into a pocket, and the alarm goes off again. Better get out of here quick!
(No draw)
Elephant Parade finds Fractalman without issue to tell him about the contract he just got. He spots the hat that Fractalman is looking at, and inquires as to it's price. One happy merchant later, his head is addorned with a very floppy pointed ortament. Fractalman, meanwhile, gets the bracelet and the wand. The merchant with the golem is a bit sad, but hails another customer.
The market is getting buisier, with more people filing in. Soon it will get crowded, and it looks like law enforcement officers are starting to station themselves around the market too. The criers with news of sales and dealers work themselves into a feverpitch, revealing that the busy hour has arrived.

How does those card things work anyway? ???1) All "rolls" are opposed draws. An actor and a dodger. Often the environment would be the dodger.
2) Draw a number of cards equal to the relevant stat; if the stat would be boosted by another, add half the other stat rounded up.
3) If there are any cards that require a redraw, Aces, 7s, and Jokers, add the appropriate number of cards to the draw; this step only happens once, so if you draw another redraw card don't repeat.
4) Count cards with the relevant suits, add bonuses and penalties; this is the base success rate (3S, 2S, whatever).
5) Add and subtract successes based on the card number: low numbers usually subtract, high usually add, Jacks subtract and Aces add.
6) Count the critical cards. Jacks are double critical, Aces and other face cards are critical.
7) Whomever has the higher success rate wins the hand and gets the advantage. From the perspective of the actor, winning is success while losing is a failure. Overshoot/Abysmal failure happens when the advantage is 6 or more.
8) If you have more criticals than the other has successes, you crit the action (negates overshoot and abysmal failure).
I'm still trying to figure out the balance on exactly how much penalty or bonus each card or suit bonus should give.

Is a Fighter/Bard an acceptable choice?Bard isn't available as a multiclass or to half-orcs, sadly :P. The choices for multiclassing with a half-orc are Fighter/Thief, Fighter/Cleric and Cleric/Thief. If you wanna be similar to a Paladin, take Fighter/Cleric. The only other class that half-orcs get beyond those three is Barbarian.

I'm still not understanding this. Can you multi/dualclass AND pick kits? If so...
Fighter with Wizard Slayer kit Dualclass Cleric with Priest of Talos kit.
And the wiki recommends hammers for F/C, but I'm sticking with Dual Axes if it's an option.
Post by: darkpaladin109 on April 20, 2014, 04:12:46 pm
Fighter/Cleric sounds good. Looking up a wiki so I can figure out what I'm doing....1. No, expect if you're a gnome and pick a mage multiclass, in which case it replaces mage with illusionist.

2. Don't think you'l be able to take axes since Clerics can only wield Blunt Weapons in the original BG due to the rules used in the then current version of DnD.

And yes, they get just such a spell.
Drop that int like a bad habit and increase con as much as possible. I'm gonna be the party tank but still be able to strike quickly with dual wielding attacksDone. I'm assuming you'l take the Berserker kit since literally the only disadvantages it has over the Fighter is that you get temporary penalties after using the Berserker Rage and can only put 1 point into ranged weapons.

Flabort, you should probably implement a cap on how much you can bet past what you already have. And possibly apply it retroactively. Otherwise, people will just bet increasingly ridiculous sums of tokens on everything.
Post by: flabort on April 28, 2014, 10:33:44 pm
You bet... (loads up sheet) 50. On DF finishing first.
Dorsidwarf, though, bet 1,000,000,000 (1 billion) tokens. On the map finishing first.
If the cap is implemented, it won't be applied retroactively; if someone asks because they're too far in the hole, I might reset them, because one billion tokens, yikes.

Visit one of my neighbors. While they are busy greeting me, tear their heart striaght out of their chest and run back home to put it in my robot.[d7:3] You visit Elephant Parade. [6] You tear his heart out, but he still stands. Alarmed when he starts chasing you, you run home and lose him along the way.
[3] The robot accepts the heart, and starts to move. It doesn't move very well, though, and still seems like a soulless automoton. (Like Blunt from Freefall, only not as smart and without purpose; slow, halting, clunky)
go to a local Internet cafe, install viruses into the main search engines. Nothing major, just a tracking program, nothing that is likely to be spotted.[4] You hack google. And Ask.com, and Fetch. And Yahoo and Amazon. You drop a tracking virus into each. It tracks nothing useful, but it's not spotted.
Oh hi guys I'm back![1] Ouch. You join the game as a Dr. Who Cosplayer, who blew all their money on a Dalek Costume, that looks so awful you scared away the internet guys, so even if you got a router you'd not have internet.
JOIN GAME AS A SEXY DALEK.
Hack the router. Reprogram it to deliver webpages upside down, sideways, and without any formatting.[6] You hack HighMax's and Poketwo's routers. The deliver webpages that have been randomized, and overlayed with a live feed from DarkPaladin's robot.
WORK OFF THAT PHONE BILL![5] You work several hours, locating and flagging viruses on the internet. Your boss supplies you with a program for deleting the viruses you've flagged, and you delete them. Every hour you spend deleting 5 or more viruses you get paid immediately. You spend around 4 doing this before the turn ends.
(attempt to) steal something from another playerYou try to steal [d7:7] Scotsman's [4] Money. [5] He left his wallet on the counter of his apartment, and the door open. And he was having a loud shower, so he didn't hear you. You get $5, and his ID.
SET UP DEFENSES FOR THE INEVITABLE POLICE RAID[1] It's too late! Police are already storming the apartment complex! They don't question you, though. They seem to be after someone building a Giant Robot.

Some of them deserve their fame
But most of them are really lame
Your life will never be the same
Sucked into fake realities
Never feel a natural breeze
Spend all day staring at a screen
What do these symbols mean?
This endless compulsion to roll
The dice take will their toll
Never have family or a wife
Win the games, lose at life
:)

Kill inferior robot using eye lasers.[5]The robot is inferior to your biomechanical hybrid cyborg powers. You melt it down to reveal your own still beating heart inside, rapidly sprouting the parts to build a second you out of the molten robot.
You are then immediately destroyed yourself by acid and lightning. [1] Your clone does not retain your memories, just your desire to kill humanity. And is not fully formed. And you didn't manage to uplink yourself to a nearby wifi signal because there weren't any, so you basically lost all your possessions and your identity.
USING METKNOWLAGE, DESTROY ELEPHANT PARADE'S HACK ON MY ROUTER[2]You fail to have Metknowlage. The little paperclip guy suggests, did you mean Metaknowledge?
Secure my computer from hacking, then pack up and go home to get a nice dinner and a good night's sleep.[4]You succesfully install redundant firewalls and security. You go home and eat something ethnic, and then go to bed for the night. The noise of the neighbors battling it out with eyelasers is keeping you up, though.
Figure out who stole my wallet. Then[1] You come to the conclusion that you wallet was stolen by the president of the United States. You hijack a helicopter and fly to the capitol.killEXTERMINATE him. And take his wallet. And mine too.
Halfway there! WORK MORE! GET PAID![3]You do a little more work and then fall asleep. Your face lands on your laptop keyboard, and closes your browser. Nothing else bad happens.
Have giant robot be immune to eye lasers. Then anihilate EP with wizard powers.[6] The robot is immune to eyelasers by regenerating if it gets destroyed. However, this only causes it to start turning into a clone of EP when he destroys it. [6](seriously?) You call down the wrath of shenanigans, and blow up the original EP in a shower of lightning and pure acid from the sky.
Buy not as cheap router return homeYou get the DuLuxxo brand wireless router. [3] You barely remember to get a cable to go with it so it works, but forget to get the things that make it so that your phones don't explode when you plug them in now.
keep the money, drop the id (while trying not to leave fingerprints?)You sort through the guy's wallet right in front of his house. He rushes past without noticing you, so you just throw his ID back through his open door. You guess he left his door open. [2] You nonchalantly walk back home. No running or jogging, certainly not towards any hills. You're not fit enough. You whistle a little tune.
dropping stuff is a free action, right?

You pick up the strange object, off the main section is a longer cylindrical part, on the other side from that is a small rectangle jutting off from it with a small lever on it. There's another lever on one of the longer sides that looks like it could slide, and you see a faint blue light on the opposite side of the smaller rectangle, that now seems to have grooves for your fingers, now that you pick it up.Smell the green fluid

When you press down, the lever gets pulled down, and a large blue orb flies out from the tip of the cylidrical side, and impacts with the wall.
The sudden jolt makes you drop the vial, and it shatters on the ground, causing the green fluid to start melting through the floor.
You're glad you didn't drink that.

You turn the device around, to see the sliding lever.
You slide it open, and a small, empty vial pops out and shatters on the ground, leaving the now open chamber empty.
You notice the small blue light is now gone. You're not sure if it went off before or after you slid the chamber open.
Something smells weird. Very chemically.

You then swivel the object around so the lights face him, and rest the cylinder part on your shoulder.
"Hasta la vista, body."
You push your thumb forward into the trigger, and you hear a satisfying sizzel as the wall behind you is assualted with green, corrosive plasma.
...Maybe it's not shoulder mounted.
One of the green lights go out.

As you stand there twiddling your thumbs, you decide to name the device you found a "plasma gun".Point it at them and demeans where we are! The date and time! THE YEAR! If they don't answer fast enough, gun them down!

"Where am I?!?"
The strange metal creature stops shuffling, and the light faces you.
"What time is it?!?! What day is it?!?"
The light shifts from blue to red, and it begins to rapidly move towards you.
"WHAT YEAR IS IT?!?!"
You spin the plasma gun around, and pull the trigger right as the metal monstrosity leaps at you, transmuting it into a shower of sparks, scrap metal, and corrosive ooze!
One of the lights on the gun goes out.
There's one left.
Post by: highmax28 on July 09, 2014, 04:25:07 pm
A small crab-like or maybe spider-like... Thing appears from around the corner, it has a small blue light on it that seems to be scanning the area.
"Where am I?!?"
The strange metal creature stops shuffling, and the light faces you.

((Damnit mastahcheese, you're supposed to be done the map by now!))
Find out what powers this thing so we can get those lights back on! Keep our distance from the ooze. Go down the hallway and if it stops working, bludgeon things with it!
Post by: mastahcheese on July 10, 2014, 12:33:12 pm
You make your way down the corridor, making sure not to step in the puddle of enemy.
You turn the corner, and the path branches off to the left and right.
You can hear some noises from the left, that might be someone talking.
You examine your gun to see if there are any ways to get those lights back, but other than what you've already fiddled with, there's really nothing else of interest.
Although now that you think of it, there are interesting grooves on the top of it that might allow you to slot something into it.

"No, I still haven't-"
"WHERE AM I!?!"
The man spins around suddenly, observing you pointing your gun at his face. He has his own gun, but he's not raising it yet.
"Whoa, calm down, I'm not an enemy."
"What time is it? What day?"
"I... We're on a spaceship orbiting an alien planet, I don't know what the time would be translated into, everything's gone to hell."
"What year is it?"
"Um, we left Telonis in the year 4063, I think that the jump takes about 8 months to get this far out?"
The guy starts shifting uncomfortably as you keep your weapon trained on him.
"Look, did you get your memory wiped, too? You seem really confused. I can help."

"Well, I could bring you to the command center, from there, we can figure out whatever needs done."

"Do you know what's going on at all? You haven't seen any little robots running about have you? Anybody that tries to shoot on sight?"

He starts heading back the way you came, and leads you down the path that you didn't take.
"I see your insignia says ASCII, you part of the science team? Do you know what could have gone wrong with the Overseer?"
He looks at your nametag
"Mark. I'm Nicolai Peters, from Engineering, but you could probably see that yourself."
He points to the designation on his own shoulder, which read AEN04.

We're on Deep Sector Ship 1, it's a colony ship with a crew of 1 billion. Long story behind that.
Anyway, the planet that we're in orbit around, our new home, has been going through this sort of 3-step concept for colonization. First the hyper-evolution E.V.O. Project, then advanced AI Overseer project, and then us. The first two pave the wave for, or at least are supposed to. Don't ask me on specifics, I'm not a scientist. The ship has been infiltrated by a terrorist group called the Paladins. They're a bunch of insane nuts who blame humans for everything, as far as I can tell.
Anyway, they hacked into the Overseer to view humans as enemy, and now we've got a bunch of the Seer drones onboard, along with the Paladin douchebags.
We need to regain control of this ship, and then get supplies down to the surface."
He comes to a stop at a door.
"Command center isn't much farther, but I dodged a patrol through this next section earlier.
How much ammo have you got left?"

Not like I need sanity anyway.
On Board DSS1
You indicate the single green light to him, and inform him that you don't have anything else to cram into the gun.
"One shot, then. That makes two if you count both of us."
He points at his own gun, which only has a single green light, as well.
He holds two fingers up to his ear.
"Sir, I've got a survivor with me, he's been wiped. Former scientist. We're in the starboard hall, two sections out. Any patrols in the section?"
He waits for a second, then continues.
"Copy that. Out."
He lowers his hand back to his weapon. "We've got two confirmed Paladins in the next section, you get one, I get the other?"
Unknown Location
You wake up, face down on black sand.
You stand up, and brush off your heavily weathered shirt.
You notice an injury in your chest, but there isn't any blood coming out.
You look around, you're on the shore of a river, with deep, dark water that flows silently.
The sand around you is all black, and coarse.
Ahead of you, downstream, you can see what seems to be a very small village, with a large, black building imposing over it.
There doesn't appear to be anything else visible for miles, the horizon is bare.
You're holding a rapier, you don't remember picking it up.

You all awake inside of a cell. You're all in cells with either another player except one of you who is in a cell with a dwarf. You are all wearing ragged clothing. Be it you're in here for a crime or put here unjustly, it doesn't matter now. You all know everything has gone to hell within the span of a few days after what happened not too long ago when rumors began to fly about the King's new adviser.
Who are you?

DSS1
You nod your head, and he takes his nametag and swipes open the door.
He puts it back and raises his gun, slowly moving forward, and you follow closely behind.
The two of you come to a bend in the corridor, and he croutches down and leans around the corner.
"There they are" he whispers.
"What's a Paladin, again?"
"Terrorists, basically."
He leans around, and aims and fires, he then ducks behind you.
"The other one's coming, get her!"
[/tt]
Unknown Location
You see the village downstream, and decide you want nothing to do with it.
You turn around, and start heading upstream.
After a bit, the river stops.
There's no beginning to it, it seems to just being materializing out of thin air from nothing.
There's nothing beyond.

She fires her weapon, but the ball of green energy wizzes past you and impacts with the wall, while you level the gun at her feet, and pull the trigger.
The green orb sails weightlessly across the hall and makes contact with her calf, sending her to the ground with a yell of pain, and she drops her weapon.
"Did you get her?"
You reach out your hand to where the river is materializing.
Your hand passes straight through, as if nothing is there at all.

Hey, Mastahcheese? Can we ever have E.V.O. back as a thing? It was the greatest idea, and really fun...I made a reference to it in the DSS1 derail game, but nobody seemed to care (or even post actions), so if it is brought back, it'll certainly be a while.
The thing about it is that it's not just some knock-off idea I randomly had, it's an integral part of a sci-fi world I've been constructing for the better part of 2 years, so when I do it again, I want to do it right.

What is your weapon?
What is your item?
What is your special attack?
What is your special skill?
Special attacks should be offensive (fire breath, lightning bolt, etc.) in nature, whereas special skills shouldn't be offensive, and should instead be defensive (teleportation, barrier, etc.). Weaker attacks and skills will have more uses.
The battlefield will be a stone arena.

You actually started out one space south from what was shown in the second picture (GM error). If you want to change your move, I can fix things.

Two applicants acceptable, please, come through the door of the IGO foundation, and welcome to the Gourmet age.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
So, Toriko, it's a anime series, recently ended (and manga, still going) that's about a world with food everywhere, so much in fact most of the world revolves around it, melon eggs, electric bananas, coffefevers and a giraffe with a pinwheel tail that randomly makes spots on its body turn into top notch hard candy, literally anything you can imagine of a food exists in this land and it's up to you guys, as food hunters, to capture that food.
But you are far too low levelled to capture any ingredients above level 10, which is still massive though as any creature at that level needs tanks to capture it, while monsters in gourmet world (not gonna tell you) can get into the thousands in capture levels, and not just in strength, keep in mind.
This is why you guys get so much business here.
Any-who, as any story starts, you begin in a bar, filled with food hunters, and this bar is the very place where you will get all of your missions, and gain info on certain creatures, techniques, history and items so it's basically your hub of sorts.
And this is where we begin, with the two of you in this for once near deserted bar for once, with the boss of the establishment happily cleaning all of those glasses, you spot one solitary mission on the board, doesn't pay much, but it seems pretty easy anyway:
FOR THE PRIZE OF 102589 YEN, YOUR JOB WILL BE TO CAPTURE THE COFFEFEVER, ALIVE AND HEALTHY.
PLEASE ASK THE BOSS OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT FOR MORE INFORMATION IF YOU ARE LACKING.
DO YOU ACCEPT?
Y/N?[/size]
The small blinking button of yes or no glows softly, but with noone else around, this mission will be pretty easy, but still for not much money.
The barman briefly looks up at the two of you staring at the board and tells you before you ask.
A coffever is a tree that's a lot like a normal coffee tree except that whenever it's contents are ripe, thousands upon thousands of coffee seeds fall down into the trees pouch and comes out at the bottom of its hollow trunk in a veritable swarm of coffee seeds, the coffee seeds themselves aren't the best quality, but the sheer number of them more than makes up for it, a small food establishment probably wants the tree to make some basic quality coffee cause the tree certainly helps cut down on expenses.
So, will you take it?

Once you leave the bar, outside is a dirty taxi with a bored driver and dirty seats.
Well, the barkeep certainly wasn't kidding when he said small establishment.
In any case, after a couple of bumpy hours, you arrive at where you are supposed to be, called the free forest, mostly named because of its basic food chain, no rainbow patterned pyjama scorpions here, no sir.
Your trackers show you to be going roughly southwest, and there doesn't seem to be much in the way.
Also, NEW RULES TIME:
All actions take stamina, which is tied to your endurance and basic skill level, stamina is rapidly regained by eating good food which also helps upgrade your 'power level', your power level is basically what number you roll at, right now at neutral, I roll a D6 for combat, but at power level 5 for example, you gain a 1+ to rolls in combat! while at power level Ten I start to roll with a D10, and every three levels plus, you get a 1+ To the rolls on the D10, and then at 25 I switch to a D20 with every 2 levels gaining a 1+, and so on.
Now this seems complex, but most of it will be done under the hood so don't worry about it.
And on that note:

The crowd is hushed to silence as the stadium turns to black.
A single bar of light erupts from the ceiling, casting a glow upon a single man, standing in a far corner, dressed in the armour of a medieval knight.
He holds his sword up in the air, and leaps! He performs a quadruple front flip through the air, and comes to a halt closer to the center of the room.
"Let's hear it foooooooorrrr........."
The Knight stands tall, and pulls a small wire in his armour, causing it to fall to pieces around him, revealing a lanky man with a superb mustache dressed in naught but a pair of blue shorts.
"FLABORT!"
The lights kick back on as the crowd gives a round of polite applause, followed by a cacophony of crashing noise as the far wall is torn to pieces by a fully grown Indian elephant!
It stride towards the center of the room, and a man with a tophat and monocle dismounts, and strides to the center of the room.
"And his opponent, ELEPHANT PARADE!"
The two men meet in the center of the stadium, and duck under the ropes of the ring, preparing to engage in the most manliest of sports.
Fisticuffs.
HOW TO PLAY:
Send a PM with two things:
One: How your fighter moves. You move along two axis, you can bob up, down, or center, and you can weave right, center, or left.
Keep in mind that your left is your opponent's right!
Two: The move you wish to perform. You can swing a hook, and aim up, center, or down.
You can uppercut to the left, center, or right.
And you can jab, but you must aim along the grid, with both axis's declared.
Finer nuances of the rules will become revealed as the fight goes on.
Flabort:
Position: Full center
HP: 50/50
Elephant Parade:
Position: Full center
HP: 50/50
Now then, BOB AND WEAVE, YOU FOOLS!

Flabort: 50/50 Hp
Position: Top Center
Elephant Parade: 50/50 Hp
Position: Bottom Left
Tip: You usually take penalties when using the same hand twice in a row. Failure to specify which hand you swing with will default to using the right hand.
And you aren't an elephant in the ring, EP, you just rode one in here.

Elephant Parade centers himself and throws a right-hand jab to the bottom left, hitting directly below Flabort's head, and making contact with the throat!
While the move deals a full 9 damage, it is considered an illegal move! two more of those, and Elephant Parade will be disqualified!
Flabort: 41/50 Hp
Position: Center Left
Elephant Parade: 46/50 Hp
Position: Full Center
Tip: Throwing a jab in the square directly below the enemy's head will hit the throat. It deals 3 times the normal damage, but it's dishonorable.
Tip: You only gain momentum bonuses (or penalties) when moving from left to right, or top to bottom (or vice versa). Moving to or from the center won't result in them.
Tip: Jabs are nice because they take no penalty for being thrown with the same hand as last time. They also take no penalty (or bonus) from momentum, making them nice for when you're setting up a powerful hit. Just keep in mind that they deal the least damage of the three attacks!

Thank you, sir.
Flabort leans right and jabs forward, but Elephant Parade moves the other direction and bobs down, pulling his arm back as a true right-hand purist and smacking Flabort lightly in the jaw.
Flabort: 39/50 Hp
Position: Center Right
Last hand used: Right
Elephant Parade: 46/50 Hp
Position: Down Right
Last hand used: Right
Tip: Damn it, EP, specify what hand you're using! That uppercut would have dealt 8 damage instead of 2 if you had simply used your left hand!
Tip: Flabort would have gotten a momentum bonus had he thrown a hook instead of a jab. He would have still missed, though.
Post by: mastahcheese on August 26, 2014, 05:02:55 pm
Flabort swings a mean uppercut, while Elephant Parade throws another jab, but both miss by inches!
Flabort: 39/50 Hp
Position: Bottom Left
Last hand used: Left
Elephant Parade: 46/50 Hp
Position: Bottom Center
Last hand used: Left
Tip: Uppercuts can only gain momentum bonuses from going from bottom to top, not the other way around, but they have the highest damage potential of the three attacks.
Tip: Momentum bonuses don't just take into account your own movement, but that of your opponent's. Leaning into an enemy's attack is just as bad as if they leaned into it themselves. Conversely, leaning away from an enemy's attack is good defensive play.

...Anyway.
Flabort moves right and throws a left jab that goes right over Elephant Parade's head, and Elephant Parade stays put and throws a right jab full center, also missing!
Flabort: 39/50 Hp
Position: Bottom Right
Last hand used: Left
Elephant Parade: 46/50 Hp
Position: Bottom Center
Last hand used: Right
Tip: You can queue up multiple turns if you wish.
Tip: Jabs are ineffective as they are inaccurate and don't do much damage. Pretty much the only advantage they hold is that you can use them while moving in awkward ways, or throwing hits with the same hand without taking penalties.
The exact stats for each attack:
Attack Base damage Modifier
Jab 3 0
Hook 3 2
Uppercut 4 3
Positive modifiers are applied if you lean into your attack, or your enemy leans into the attack.
Negative modifiers are applied if you lean away from your attack, your enemy leans away from your attack, or you attack with the same hand as last time.
Hitting the head deals double damage (You can hit the body if you aim lower than their head is) and a throat punch is triple.
Example: When EP threw an uppercut, it has a base of 4. He threw it with the last hand he used, subtracting 3, but hit the head, causing a total of 2 damage.

Cut off burning-sleeve arm.
You fail to cut the arm off, however, you do gouge a hole in your arm with a stick, spraying blood over the place. The blood puts out the fire.
Use the sticks to form the outline for some ritual unrelated to vague knowledge
You shape some sticks into a crude pentagram.
Your vague knowledge is as follows: you think you need a pentagram, you think you need candles, you think you need blood, but you're not really sure of anything else.

If the GM were deciding success/failure with rolls, then even a natural 20 might not be enough. Maybe 3 natural 20's in a row...
You remove two sticks to attempt this. coolrune's soul drifts away: -2%
You fail to light anything on fire. however, your nose is briefly assualted by the smell of heated blood.
Chant the name of an eldritch god, alternated with Coolrune's name
You don't actually know the names of eldritch gods in this universe. At least, you don't know them yet. A passing something hears, however, and contemplates helping.
Coolrune hears his name, and drifts a little closer to life. +3% completion.
You are panicking, and garble his name, offending him! -1%
Perhaps you could eek a little more oomph out of this method if you replaced the sticks...
Really, though, you need more knowledge.
There is now a town nearby. There are stores in the town, which might have what you need. Or maybe not. Traveling to and from the town is a free action.

Sacrifice arm to Uhluhtc.in your panic, you do not realize that using a scythe is counter-productive! you slash your arm with the scythe! in your panic, you do not actually cut as deep as you intend to! you spray blood over the partial pentagram! -3%! it is sacrificed to Uhluhtc! -6%
...oops?
You are bleeding profusely. You are somewhat dizzy.
Hug the being, and ask if it has to leave. If not, offer to verse it in a quick, easy game for more help. Rock paper scissors, tic tac toe, or other similar games. If it leaves, wallow in sadness.
"I will not be leaving. Instead, I will be observing. However, as long as your resurrection status is positive, you may whisper ideas to the being attempting to resurrect you. "
SEE IF ANYTHING COMPARABLE TO THE WARP(40K) EXISTS IN THE UNIVERSE
There is a portion of the afterlife which has been corrupted much like the warp. It has been quarantined by the efforts of nyan-cat, Uhluhtc, and 6 Ponies.
You are panicking! Actions taken while panicking will be much more erratic!
There is a town. There are stores in the town, which you can loot at your leisure. Traveling to and from the town is a free action. There are passed out shopkeepers.
You have a crude pentagram of sticks. Blood is smeared on the sticks. 2 sticks are missing.
You have 2 sticks.
You have vague theoretical knowledge about necromancy. You feel that more knowledge will be needed to complete the ritual.
You have a scythe. scythes help push spirits towards the afterlife.
Your shirtsleeve is bloody and charred.

You are bleeding profusely from one arm.
You are somewhat dizzy from blood loss.

you are calm enough to realize that lighting candles is best done with a lighter, which you loot.
You use a black candle to cauterize the wound. Success!
your shirtsleeve is now more char than cloth.

Start the checkers game by quickly giving pieces, but line them all up for one easy chain of takes, which should cripple him.You manage to capture a few pieces, but the 15-dimensional nature means you made a blunder.
You lost more pieces than you captured. But don't worry, you've only tapped into 3/15 dimensions, there's still plenty of pieces left.
Line the black candles up on the scythe, put the scythe into the middle of the pentagram, and then melt orange candles and green candles onto the pentagram in order to expand it into a decagram.
You transform the pentagram into a decagram.
START RESERCHING TO SEE IF WE(THE PLAYERS) ARE ALL ONE PERSONYou are.

You are not panicking, so it is reasonably well designed.
You grab red candles, as these are standard.
You light the candles.
You are not bleeding right now, however, you smear some of the still-wet blood onto the sticks.
You call out to Uhluhtc! "Uhluhtc! Uhluhtc! 6ecvb@! Uhluhtc! Uhluhtc! jio jin biopsy yspoib! Uhluhtc!

Suddenly make an awesome move which turns around the game. If it fails, slip my hand over the table, knocking the checkers out of place. Oops.
oops!
That was a trap. You lost a disproportionate number of pieces.
You sweep away a 2-dimensional slice of the pieces.
As it turns out, this was a perfectly legal move. Urgl is impressed with your use of it.
You are also close enough to life to manipulate the situation.

Post by: fractalman on December 15, 2014, 06:14:40 pm
Keep sweeping away several dimensions worth of pieces. If the entity stops becoming impressed start kicking it in the guts until it shows some damn sign of impression.
It is only a valid move under certain situations.
The entity waves a tentacle, and the pieces go back to where they were before.
You try to kick it, but trip on a tentacle that came from the 9th dimension. It chuckles.
It tries to explain the situations under which the move is valid or not valid, but the descripsions are INCOMPREHENSIBLE to your current frame of mind. :(
Dance around the Hexagram to continue reviving Coolrune.
Integrate some steps around the Scythe+Decagram in order to fend off evil spirits and convert their energy into power to revive Coolrune
you begin to dance.
+6% revival!
-you somehow grab a really weak evil spirit from the decagram. It attempts to possess you, but fails to chip away at your sanity. You convert it into power!
-the fact it was channeled through the scythe means the energy pushes coolrune back away from the living world. -3%
Take the Scythe and slather it in wax, before lighting a white candle on the top.
That should keep away any evil spirits.
Well done!
You have repulsed the evil spirits! Your sanity is much less at risk now.
However, it also weakly repels coolrune. -1% every turn after this.

Agree to a draw with the being simply because my brain is starting to sputter. Attempt to interact with the real world enough to slap the scythe away from the idiots.
The being chuckles, but agrees.
You put out the flame on the scythe.
Take the scythe back and attempt to corrupt it by exposing the blade to the black flames.
You fight with coolrune for control!
Throw out the scythe. Continue dancing, weaving a complex series of manuevers from one circle to the other. Trace blood from the larger circle into the smaller more functional circle, and then track it back. Dance in a pattern that stamps a trigram into the ground with the decagram at one corner, the hexagram at another, and Coolrune's body at the third. Then change tempo and draw a cross-diagram to turn the trigram into a second hexagram. Chant at the top of your lungs.
The use of the decagram destablizes the entire ritual, nullifying its effects!
Also, your blood is now quite dry.

Realize that we need more blood, since ours is dried. Drag a shopkeeper to Coolrune's body, and inscribe another hexagram between the keeper's shoulderblades, then use blood from the shopkeeper's new wound to draw a larger hexagram around the body.
You lack anything which can easily cut into the skin, aside from the hotly contested Scythe. You use sticks to make some wounds, waking the shopkeeper up. The shopkeeper begs for mercy!
You draw a hexagram into the dirt around coolrune's body, mixing blood into the dirt.
It is surrounded by a hexagram drawn in the dirt, with small amounts of blood mixed into the dirt.
Your evil act has drawn the attention of evil spirits! Evil spirits are looking in your general direction!
Most of your ritual is scrambled to uselessness by the dodecagram! -1%
...that darn dodecagram. You should really do something about it.
You become slightly hungry.

Break the Dodecagram, use constituent parts as a knife to more accurately cut a hexagram into now-awake shopkeeper's skin.
Your shenanigans is succesfful! You make a wax knife out of the pieces of the dodecagram!
The wax knife is eldritch, and chips away at your sanity!
You cut a hexagram into the shopkeeper's skin.
Your evil act brings the evil spirits to your general vicinity!
The new hexagram draws Coolrune closer: +7%
With the decagram removed from the picture, he is able to feel his body! +10%!
Corrupt the Scythe with black candles, corrupt it!
You stick some black candles onto the scythe. This does not appear to have any effect.

PREPARE FOR DEFENDING AGAINST THOSE 'MANE 6' PONIES. START BY LOOKING UP TO SEE HOW MUCH MONEY WE SHOULD USE TO HIRE DEADPOOL OR HIS NEAREST EQUIVALENT TO KILL THOSE 6 WITHOUT OURSELVES BEING KILLED BY HIM.
In a moment of insanity, you equip yourself with a stick. In this moment of insanity, you are completely convinced that this is a sufficient defense against beings with superstrength, toon-like reality warping, casual TK, flight, the ability to summon lighting out of any old cloud, and did I mention the fluffy tamer, who will summon every single woodland critter ever?
Perhaps if you had been even one step more sane, the GM would not be using it as an excuse to convince you that a stick is a perfectly adequate defense against these cute, reality-warping beings.

Implore my entity friend to rid the resurrector of the scythe.you toss the scythe far away. it will be unusable for 2 rounds.
Become the Pink Pony of Berating, proceed to berate the failings of the players.you do not have access to that level of reality warping.
HIT MYSELF IN THE HEAD WITH THE STICK FOR THIS REALLY DUMB IDEA
You do so. dizziness increments.
Cut off arm. Place it in the centre.
You use the Wax, Eldritch knife to do so. It chips away at your sanity! You begin to see things that may or may not be there!
You lose lots of blood. You become even dizzier!
you are dizzy and seeing things that may or may not exist. you have trouble placing the arm correctly, but you manage to place the bloodiest part inside of the lines on a corner of the large hexagram.
-you don't get the full oomph from this procedure, but you still get a whopping +40% progress.
It is now ill advised to make changes to existing diagrams, as you can no longer be sure your lines are straight.
It still brings about a whopping +40% resurrection status, bringing you to 77%

You dump lots of ice on the body. Next decay tick (if it happens, which it probably won't, as you're liable to either get killed or resurrect coolrune first) will only cause a 4% penalty.
Escalating to dry ice is not recommended.
Find some embalming fluid and inject it into the body!
I do not know if any embalming fluid components can be found in a typical store.
All other statuses remain the same.

This was not the end, however, as I still took it upon myself to take my laptop to the library, to continue to provide entertainment for you all.
A few weeks ago, my laptop malfunctioned, and I could not get it working again.
I assumed it was a virus, so I had it sent to be fixed.
It was not a virus.
My laptop's hard drive has crashed. It can not be repaired, nor recovered.
All of the data I kept on my laptop has been lost. And I kept a lot on it.
The games that were running, ideas for things I was going to do, a chapter of a book I was writing in my spare time.
Everything.
Because of this, I'm officially going to have to end pretty much all of my suspended projects.
This includes the map of Roll to Die/Revive/Dwarf/Derail. Which pains me because were looking forward to it a lot, and I actually did have a lot more done on the map than I let on. I even had resources of horses on the flatlands, was how far I was along.
So I'm going to post a canon ending to RTDRDD, and that will be that.
I'm sorry this happened.

We'll see what I feel like doing. (Art of War is the only one I actually have notes on, but B12H is simplistic, so I don't need a ton of notes)

You are the captain of the ARC "Heaven's Gate", a mighty warship sent to purge the noncompliant planet of Sol-3. You have been informed that there are at least five rebel ships in system - all inferior to the Gate, of course.
You are currently standing on the Captain's Deck in the command nexus, looking at the bright dot which is all that can be seen of the system from two hundred AU out. In ten minutes the shard drive will spin up, and you will be fighting for the integrity of the Armageddon Redirection Coalition, but for now, there is peace in the stars.
Despite being vastly superior to anything these disorganised rebels could possibly hope to master, you are short on staffing, and only have 10,000 crew on board. This is your final chance to reassign them to battlestations before the shard spin.
SHIPCOMS: 400/500 - Allows orders to be given. Very tough, requires few crew to man.
SHARDCOMS: 10/20 - This tiny structure, situated above the bridge, allows for superluminal conversion with Orion Command
BRIDGE: 890/1000 - The control center. Keep this running at all costs! Requires minimum of 500 crew to man
MAIN GUN: 3200/5000 - This relic weapon has splintered planets, burned fleets, and is the main armament upon the Gate. It requires 4000 crew to man fully, but is capable of operating with barely a thousand, as long as "Rapid fire" is nowhere on your list of plans.
REACTOR 1:2000/2000 - The only fully-manned part of your ship, and the only part you don't understand, or particularly feel like experimenting with in battle.
REACTOR 2: 300/500 - Backup reactor, in case of critical damage to the main. Will just about let you spin up the Shard and flee, if operating with full capacity and Reactor 1 is offline.
SHARDDRIVE: 1000/1500 This superluminal warp fragment, no larger than a fist, and encased in a containment block the size of a city, allows you to travel both interplanetary and interstellar. If you lose this, the ship will either detonate instantly or just be stranded.Either way, you'll be removed from command.
ENGINES: 500/1000 skyscraper-sized rocket pods for in-system movement. Largely autonomous, each one is manned by just twenty crew. You have a lot.
SUBWEPS: 1500/6000 : This refers to all your multitude of other weapon systems, such as ICBMs, point defenses, interceptors, rail turrets the size of office blocks, and so on. Most of them are sitting idle in their cradles, however. It's a pot-shot as to which crews will be ready to fire at any time as it is.
The foe awaits, Captain.

You guys can decide where these people being pulled from.
IN ANY CASE
Whichever game I plan to start will need time for preparations. I'll run something simpler in the meantime.
Or at least something with shorter prep time.
Players: Please select whether you wish to join the Red Nation, Blue Nation, or Yellow Nation. Multiple players can share control of a single nation, and I would advise doing so.

Ps: my animals aren't mounts, they are infantry alongside with the human infantry. Well at least the exotic ones, horses are still mounts.
EDIT: I just noticed the "be serious" part that you wrote down and I hope this isn't too outlandish. I will write another one at your request if it is.
There is a tactical advantage to having monkeys that can use swords though. Trees become an amazing vantage point.

I'm thinking more along the lines of Berserking warriors. Our soldiers are bigger and stronger then the other nations, but they not only require more food but cannot wear heavy gear as it hinders them from raging. They also specialize in axes and spears (simple weapons) and the throwing versions of these weapons (javelins and tomahawks/throwing axes). They also have a decent sized "navy" (small boats for carrying troops with (I'm thinking longships)) as our nation is separated from the other nations by a large body of water (hence the Blue nation for our aquatic side). We DO lack in sieges however since its hard to carry and move siege equipment over bodies of water. Also, due to our nation being on an island, we have a harder time sending messages
Otherwise, I like the idea of a stealth and mount based nation, but...
How about excellent mounted corps in general, including elephantry, then?Sounds good. The armour thing was just flavour, but I don't know how the turns are going to be described, so it might not be relevant.
I think they deserve the special mounts. Plus with them being like Carthage with war elephants, we need some advantage on them... Naval based? Hell yeah!

Do not call us cavemen. We are just as advanced as you are. It's just that while you guys are perfecting the edge and point, we have gone the blunt route. Our maces and etc. have gone through years of refinement and our men are physically stronger in order to carry heavier weaponry. They are strong enough to smash through your shields and armours (pretty please Gm) so good luck cowering behind shiny plates for protection (our faction still wears armour though). A well placed blow from our maces will crush the helmet and the skull inside it to bloody pulp while your guys have to stab through openings.

God knows you tried everything to get it working again, including and up to inserting a questionably live gull into the very same disk drive which (For some inexplicable reason) Didn't seem to fix the problem.
And to think you used to believe that There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly was an instructional manual for solving any problem involving some sort of organic creature having been inserted into an orifice where it may not originally have belonged.
You ordered the D.I.Y kit for Fixing Fantastical Fish Fixated Fixes about 3 Days, 9 Hours, 24 minutes and 20...21 seconds ago, yet it still hasn't seemed to arrive, looks like some serious beeswax (Business) is in order.

Oh god, that innocent seagull, it was just doing it's seagull thing, calling over every seagull in a five mile F****** radius the instant you give it a chip, and you killed it, you mercilessly cut it's head off and...
Wait, what the hell are you on about, you caught a seagull with a net and completely unsuccessfully attempted to put it in the disk drive, it was (And still is) Quite perfectly fine, if a bit annoying constantly skwaking around the apartment.
What were you even doing with those caltrops in the first place, is the real question.

Removed Bloodied Hands LV1.
Net (M)(It's just laying on the table next to your broken computer right now.)
Annoying Seagull: (A bit annoying, 1- to concentration rolls as long as you are in the same room as it.)
Anyway, you take out the caltrops and plop them on the table (As well as chuck out that lint), wash off your hands (Not too many injuries, so that's nice) and look in your medicine cupboard:
(1)
Nope, doesn't seem to be much in the way of ibuprofen here, in fact, not much at all, perhaps you should get some painkillers and the such later on... oh, Wait, here we go!
It's label is scratched off, but it's probably fine, you tip one out and get it down with some water.

Whoa, hey.
Well this place is a bit weird, you seem to be lying belly up seeing this alien sky, there aren't any stars, but there is something resembling a moon with a small staircase shaped tongue leading all the way down to where you are, miles away, but only about a few minutes walk, obviously.
The platform you find yourself lying upon seems to be a odd thing, with near flawless ruby reaching up from the sides of this area to form a dome around the top of the enclosure, giving everything a nice red tint,the ground itself is simple grass, swaying in a breeze which does not exist here.

Leave the seagull for now and enter a different room to clear your thoughts. Question why we had drugs in the apartment. Then go get them and set them on a plate for the seagull, and make sure the caltrops are in a drawer or something, not somewhere the seagull can reach.Ah, sorry, made a small edit, you actually fainted and found yourself in a fantasy land.

You make the allocations, and buckle yourself into your commanding chair, in preparation for the shard jump.
"Shardspin complete, Captain", a commander calls.
"All stations report strapdown", another says.
"Main gun is charged"
"Engines pre-lit"
"Missiles stowed"
You bring the mic up to your mouth, and speak clearly into it. "Initiate jump".
A few seconds later, there is a shock unlike anything else in the galaxy, and you are forced back into your chair by an invisible hand. The bridge lights explode, one after the other, leaving emergency strips glowing red in their wake. The Gate begins to shake violently, across the hall from you, a commander's seat tears free, hurling him around the room like a broken doll. The shaking grows more and more intense, and ducts rattle as the world begins to blur out.
And then it stops.
"Shard jump complete!", calls Engines.
"All stations reporting in!", Crew announces
"Main gun still charged!", Gunnery speaks out.
There is a brief silence.
"Missiles?" You ask.
"Missiles is dead. Seat failure."
"Final jump assessment: A-class, neglible damage"
The buckles and straps snap open, and you climb out.
You glance up at the tactical map which has clattered down on its castors from above. "I'm seeing seven ships here, Sensors".
"Roger that sir, one must have jumped in just now"
"Orders?" says Gunnery
Deaths this turn: 20
SHIPCOMS: 395/500 - Allows orders to be given. Very tough, requires few crew to man.
SHARDCOMS: 10/20 - This tiny structure, situated above the bridge, allows for superluminal conversion with Orion Command
BRIDGE: 889/1000 - The control center. Keep this running at all costs! Requires minimum of 500 crew to man
MAIN GUN: 3990/5000 - This relic weapon has splintered planets, burned fleets, and is the main armament upon the Gate. It requires 4000 crew to man fully, but is capable of operating with barely a thousand, as long as "Rapid fire" is nowhere on your list of plans.
REACTOR 1:2000/2000 - The only fully-manned part of your ship, and the only part you don't understand, or particularly feel like experimenting with in battle.
REACTOR 2: 300/500 - Backup reactor, in case of critical damage to the main. Will just about let you spin up the Shard and flee, if operating with full capacity and Reactor 1 is offline.
SHARDDRIVE: 1499/1500 This superluminal warp fragment, no larger than a fist, and encased in a containment block the size of a city, allows you to travel both interplanetary and interstellar. If you lose this, the ship will either detonate instantly or just be stranded.Either way, you'll be removed from command.
ENGINES: 693/1000 skyscraper-sized rocket pods for in-system movement. Largely autonomous, each one is manned by just twenty crew. You have a lot.
SUBWEPS: 0/6000 : This refers to all your multitude of other weapon systems, such as ICBMs, point defenses, interceptors, rail turrets the size of office blocks, and so on. There are no crew on these systems, and they have been securely stowed.

Since Cyan, Blue, and Purple all get strong melee units, I'm giving Red better archers and siege.

As you look closer at the tacmap, you see that one ship is further out from the planet than the others. This is likely the ship which just jumped in, and as such you order it destroyed first. You bark out the command, and orders are repeated into mikes, engines fire as the ship orientates to bring the main gun to bear.
"Load sequence complete"
"Beam stable"
"Engine pods burning to track"
You stare out into the void and reflect briefly on what drives men to abandon their posts, to rebel, to refuse to comply, and then put such thoughts aside. "Fire."
There is a roar, spitting and snarling, ripping through the Gate, and a beam of blue light, pale and wavering lances out with impossible speed, lashing and curling across the void before it embraces the target in a balmy glow. For a few seconds, you see engines on the ship fire as it desperately tries to leave the crosshairs, and then with an earsplitting scream, a white line connects your ship with theirs, blindingly bright, and the viewports polarise. When the light fades enough to see out, there is nothing left, and for an instant it is like the ship, dimly lit by the red emergency lights, is alone in the universe
"Firing successful"
"Other hostiles moving inwards, vectors say gunnery range in five"
"Main gun charging, ten percent"
"Hostiles will be here before the main gun is at full power."
"Firing options are full charge or attempt low-power shots"
"Standing by your orders"

First two volenteers to play get to.
I won't be updating the images right away for every move, just every second or third move, sometimes fourth or fifth; often enough that you won't lose complete track of what's going on.
The variant of chess that is being played is Defend and Fortify, rules here:
Quote
Chess Varient: Defend and Fortify
A space may be occupied by up to 2 pieces.
A capture does not take place normally; instead you must move a piece into a space that is already occupied by one of your pieces AND the piece you want to capture.
This means an enemy piece can move onto a space that is occupied by one of yours without capturing yours.
The exceptions are the King and Queen, who are captured normally if any enemy piece moves onto their space.
Rooks, Bishops, and Queens may move through and past spaces only occupied by one piece, instead of stopping.
The board starts with two pawns on each starting space instead of one each.
Pawns may now move up to three spaces on their first move, or if the move would result in a captured piece (meaning the target space must have one of your own and an opponent's piece), one to the side and one or two forward (still only on the first move).
Players start with two additional rooks, located with the bishops.
Players start with two additional bishops, located with the rooks.
There is a new piece, the Archer, who can normally only move one space orthogonally (like a king without diagonals); but when moving a piece from a space containing an archer, you may move the archer with it (and instantly capture a piece they land on). Players start with two archers, on the spaces containing their knights. However, the downside is that if an enemy piece moves onto a space containing an archer, it immediately captures the archer and any other piece on that space.
So just a reminder:
The pieces that can be captured normally are the King, Queen, Archer, and any piece sharing a space with an Archer.
Otherwise two pieces are required to capture one piece.
The King, Queen, and Archer MAY move onto a space occupied by an enemy piece if it captures that enemy piece, otherwise it results in your piece being captured.

Er...
Wait. I think when I made the image, I got Kingside and Queenside mixed up. Arg. BRB swapping all piece positions.
edit: OK I think I fixed my mistake.
