C'moooon, lets go already.

Sorry, I had planned to post a turn this morning but—get this—last night, the power went out for 20 hours. When it came back on, I had to work on other stuff. I'll have it up within a couple of days.

Alrighty then.

So, how’s stuff going?

I think this is ded.

I think this is ded.

A week isn't death or other games would be very ded right now.

[Supernerd]

The fact that they said that they would start in a couple of days, well beyond what would constitute a couple of days ago and did not start, tells me that this game has more likely than not been abandoned. I will also point out that the (Alleged) GM has been posting in other threads since then, but not this one.

Maybe we'll get lucky and it will start but it probably won't.

Update when?

Hmm, it's certainly an interesting concept. I'd be tempted to try to put together a system for it myself, but I think the main issue is the breadth of Attitudes and how they might impact how the character reacts to mostly everything. Maybe it would have been easier to run if there was a set list of attitudes you can pick from. But that also seems less interesting from the player side, hm.

Also I suppose that even if you have a solid system you can run through dungeons quickly using, ten characters is still a great big writeup.

[Egan_BW]

Alright, I've got some ideas.
Generate dungeons by picking "cards"; a series of encounters followed by the loot. These encounters would look something like "test higher of str and dex" with certain consequences for success or failure. Get through a certain number of cards and you get the reward, easy.
Rather than just stating a single word as their character's Attitude, they have to set a few different parameters, like programming an AI. Some encounters will probably have "Opportunities" which the character then rolls their attitude to decide if they take or not. For example, if a character in a party stumbles into a teleport trap and gets kidnapped by the dungeon, the other characters in the party check their "help friend" attitude to see if they're willing to take some extra encounters to rescue that character.

Between delves, you get a list of dungeons you can visit. If you're visiting the same dungeon as someone else, you can group up with them to cooperate and split the loot. If you don't, you're instead racing to see who gets it first.

And my impression of what the stats should be:
Vitality: Max HP. If you run out of HP, you die. Tested rarely.
Attunement: Max MP. You can usually "use magic" on tests, which costs 1 MP and lets you add Mind or Heart to that test. Tested rarely.
Valor: Strength/Bravery/Aggression. Tested often.
Discretion: Agility/Perception/Stealth. Tested often.
Mind: Intelligence/Will. Used for magic. Tested rarely.
Heart: Empathy/Charisma. Used for magic. Tested rarely.

Luck: Some tests use luck. But it's not something you can train! You always have 3 luck unless you're cursed/blessed or something.

As for classes, they provide special abilities which trigger in some circumstance. Like healing when a party member has low HP, raising a skeleton after beating monsters, etc.


Feels like this is getting away from me a little, but I think it should work? Guess I'll have to test it some time. >.<

[King Zultan]

I'm liking the sound of all that.

[Egan_BW]

Thanks. I feel surprisingly close to being able to put together a game here. But no promises. ;p

Whatever I am going in!

Hmmmm...

Stinky here.
