Bay 12 Games Forum

(Please note this is not a forum/text game. It uses Armed Assault 3 for PC, using the built in ZEUS gamemode)

I am not sure if this is the right area for this, if not mods please move it to the correct section. I figured since this is related to heavy roleplay it may belong here? Anyways going on to the point!

Hello, first a little about myself: My online alias is Dekkar (heres it's killerbees) real name is Andrew Howe, I am 28 years old have 2 children and love to game when I have time to help detach from the stress of realities. I've been playing mostly RP games as far back as Dungeons and Dragons, Neverwinter Nights, Vampire the masquerade, D12 Modern RP, Ultima online to name a few. In which every game I mentioned has the ability to be the Dungeon Master, in which I usually am. I play DM so much I forgot what it's like to be a player, but I enjoy it. I recently got a new idea, since the video game Armed Assault 3 has the ability to play as "Zeus" (which is literally has the same powers a Dungeon Master would have) plus with the editor it makes it for literally unlimited possibilities. I plan on hosting a session designed for 6 cooperative players in which you will start out in either Altis or Stratis with the goal depending on the side the players vote to play as, to either protect(BLUFOR), Start a Rebellion (Independent), or Invade (OPFOR). Or you can play as a PMC with no allegiance to anyone except money, you can accept random missions playing sides or working for corporations biddings.

You have the option to either start as a simple soldier under the command of a squad leader, or as a basic Squad Leader in command of a small fireteam. Both have the opportunity to move up in ranks given their success in missions. (or staying alive) (note if you play PMC it will be a drastically different game experience/ different missions)

 I have written down quite a few features that I will monitor closely to make sure( just like a DM'd game) everything pans out the way it should. Some of these examples include: set force amount for each faction, simulating supply and demand (depending on arrival/destruction of cargo planes/trucks), scripts I have for Zeus it allows me to do more advanced things with the AI such as: Players can take prisoners and create their own POW camps to hold them and even run rescue operations for allies if they are captured, AI will actively search and use buildings as cover and walls, and since I plan on running this like a dungeon master game, and since ARMA 3 doesn't have a stat system, advancing involves moving up in military rank (starting as a basic officer or even a private soldier depending on your choice) with each higher rank grants you access to more advanced reinforcements/abilities for the faction you are on.(call air support, paratroopers, reinforcements, plan attacks and objectives etc) Respawn is on by default and planned on simulating player deaths as being "wounded" putting said player as out of action for the round, or they can continue at the cost of a 1 rank demotion. This is to encourage squad leaders / Generals from going balls to the wall rambo as they could lose abilities or rank. But also allows players to stay in the game, cause sometimes death in ARMA 3 comes swiftly.

There are plenty of other events / possiblites that can happen since this is such a freeform and open game, so each player through is guaranteed to be different.

As expected you will require ARMA 3 updated to latest patch, I am at -6 Central Standard American/canadian time, I plan on hosting a session tonight and the next two days(Sept 5th-7th) in the evenings around 6pm. As I work, will have to plan sessions on my days off, which is usually weekdays. If there is any interest please drop me a line, I have tried to publicly host the server without advertising it, but the only players that joined were ones that weren't interested in RP and would rather randomly team kill instead, so to hopefully avoid that again, I have come to bay12 players to see if they have interest.

Requirements: ARMA3, No Mods or Expansions required

Hello all, for some time I was not able to get NWN to work on my pc, after months of figuring out why it was the only game that wouldn't boot up on my winodws 7 I finally got it working again through a virtual os of XP. Thus I am droping my NWN2 project, and I am resurrecting one of my old servers I use to run back in NWN's prime, it's ready to dwelve back into and anyone who is interested in a world that is already developed, focused towards sandbox heavy roleplay with choice/consequence then this is for you. Heres an overview of the scenario in which the players will be involved, the rest of the information can be discoverd in game, with lore and knowledge about the custom game world provided in books, or other items throughout the game. Discover the secrets of this new world!

Server will be direct IP connection through the game interface, sessions will be hosted several times a week. If interested send me a PM, or drop a line.

Hello I am looking for 1 to 4 players to participate in a DND-styled Dungeon Mastered game that takes place in the Baldurs Gate universe - while its the same location and areas it's not the same timeline as Baldurs gate 1 and 2 and there for the player is free to write his own piece of history in the alternate universe. While there is a main plot if your interested , players are free to dwelve into any direction they choose with each decision having choices/consequences depending on their action. The style of play is Role-play with hardcore ideals (think of The Witcher, Witcher 2 series) Gritty, mature, and rogue-like similarities where death is perma once your character dies you must create a new one. - this encourages players to think twice about decisions and makes the start more of a 'survival' and work together feel. So if your interested in a smaller, yet more detailed role-play experience that leans heavily on free-form role-play where you are free to make your own decisions good or bad, as well as using your skills, stats, and your abilities to help in situations.

There are plenty of features that the player can experience with a DM'd server - such as - , ability to take prisoners or be taken prisoner, alter the trade between cities by attacking routes, bribe lawmen, stand trial or hold a trial, Have a high dexterity skill? Sneak behind that bandit and snap his neck, high strength? Use a rope to scale a wall undetected, with the rogue-like style the possibilities and combinations the players can do to accomplish objectives means no 2 playthroughs will be the same. It's up to you to change the world the way you see fit. If your interested, all you need are NWN2 with both expansions.

You only need NWN 2 and both Expansions,  http://www.gog.com/game/neverwinter_nights_2_complete

Is there any critters that can devour other npcs whole, and or eat their corpses when killed, if played as in adventure mode? And if so, is there a specific line you have to add to enable this? Like can a dragon eat a goblin whole etc?

So there I was off on my grand adventure in my adventure mode, where all the civilizations are on one giant Pangaea surrounded by frozen waters. Where during harsh storms it rains human blood, and due to the harsh weather conditions, your lucky to keep your bottle of Gatorade from freezing in under a minute, so savor every inch of water you find right?!  So lets start out with the problem I am having with the adventure mode, so I start out to some lair some Milker wants dead because it ate his wife some time ago - before I left however ,I met an incrediabley detailed female crossbow-woman that I just had to take with me. So after a time I convince her and we start our journey to slay the demon for the milk man, we crossed dangerous jungles, hills, and mountains when we stumble across a river. Mind you this is the smallest river I've ever seen and we were both lightly dressed (metal is rare in this world) so I figured oh what the hell! we jump in and begin swimming, and within a few seconds I make it to the other side. But - to my dismay my lovely female companion was flaying in the water, RIGHT NEXT TO ME. To my horror, I hit U keys, I keys, and every key I could think of to try and aid my drowning future girlfriend who was a tilset or less away, but alas nothing was possible.

PROPOSAL - Please add a way to maybe grab an npc in a tile close to you and throw them? So I could of saved my comapnion, or someway to pull them out of water with advanced commands. Just little things like that make a big difference.

So I've been having fun playing the new 0.31.02 of Dwarf Fortress, havnt even touched the Dwarf Fortress mode itself, been playing alot of Adventure mode, well I decided to create an elven psycho path, was a spearmen with heavy armor and a decent shield, went around slaughtering various humans and wild beasts, always attacking at night time, to slaughter my victims while sleeping, well it just so happens there was an aware guardsmen on duty this fortnight, armed with a crossbow, right when I exit a hovel after killing the husband and wife, I was shot in the gut with a bolt piercing through my finely crafted armor, since I couldn't see who or where it came from in the darkness I fled bleeding all the while. I manage to barely get away, dodging several other attempts at shooting me and hid behind a tree down at the end of a hill. I set my back against the tree and try to figure out a way to stop the bleeding, I try to quick travel with -T- but I am told that I must stop bleeding before I can travel.. SO I sit, and wait and try various ideas like taking clothes off trying to wrap wound, or trying diffrent ideas but to no success, I bled until I became pale and passed out , after I awoke I finally I decided to take out the bolt, shortly after, I died.

How to stop the bleeding?
