Bay 12 Games Forum

Greetings, people of Bay12!

There was an Earth IV game beforehand, but it's thread slowed and died due to my previous burnout. So, this is a new thread, with a timeskip of a month. Whether new or returning, I hope you enjoy.

Intro

Shadow the Hedgehog is a non-linear third-person shooter released in the U.S on November 15th, 2005. The game is a Sonic the Hedgehog spin-off starring, who else, Shadow the Hedgehog. The game is the end of the two to three game story arc starting in Sonic Adventure 2 about Shadow's past. The game adds gunplay, vehicle driving, and a branching storyline to the Sonic franchise, though the game's attempts to be edgy through it's mild swearing and darker themes were not received well.

This game is a suggestion game, which is an adaptation of the game's plot to fit a forum game better. In addition to choosing which mission to do, I will also add the ability to make suggestions to Shadow's character through interactions with other characters. This will make the game more Mass Effect is at least the social aspect, but even though I do love Shadow the Hedgehog, I admit it could be better with not only this aspect, but some other improvements. Combat (which is needed for some missions and other encounters) will be decided with a d10. Rings act as shielding points to absorb damage, but otherwise, the different attacks will do what you expect.

Note: I will do a Let's Play of the actual game when I find a way to record Original X-BOX gameplay in good quality.

If the game lasts long enough, I hope to do three different routes with you guys. With that said, let's see who turns up. And if there's a good amount? Welcome to Westopolis.

Welcome, one and all, to the spiritual/literal successor to the (now cancelled) Forum Game: Zenith Concert. See, I was a player in that, but Supernerd (the original GM) had no time, it seems. So, I deciding to create my own version of it. Now, because I put two games on hold because running more then two games at once is suicide, it might seem odd that this a third one. Well, I pulled Shadow Lords back into the light, saying that I would update it on my own time, which I do anyway. Don't worry. It won't take too long.

What is Chaos Chronicles? Well, just like Zenith Concert, it's a game where players create a whole characters through fragments. Fragments consist of things like your character's name, appearance and class. This game's setting isn't made yet, and no basic plot has been planned out. That will be determined by your characters. Having many characters versed in Magic and sorcery will make it a fantasy game, while having characters versed in Hacking and Plasma Weapons will make it Sci-Fi. Zombies, Aliens, Slaver Cannibals. It all depends on who you make...but there's a twist.

See, characters are made through fragments, yet fragments...are swapped. Yes, a character may have a different everything. The name Forum Goer X creates might be given to Forum Goer Y's Character, who also has the class of Forum Goer Z's character, and the appearance of Forum Goer A's Character, and so on. There are two types of skills that Fragments can have:

Spoilers for each fragment down below, copy-pasted from the original because they are the same, save for some added ones and changes to stats. Fragments can have negative stats (STR: -2, for instance) so keep that in mind. Like the original, only 1-10 per fragment for each player and for God's sake PM these to me. Don't put them in the thread. Have some shock and surprise. Also, you may have options per fragment for incompatible ones.

Hello! If you're here, that means you're a player of Of Predators and Prey, or any other game I do in the main timeline of the mythos I created (of which I'll upload a new episode later on.).

Just...talk? Post your sheets. I don't know what to do here, really.

Hello there, Creative Projects!

For a little context, a few years ago, me and my cousin created an unscripted and quite silly roleplay. Ghosts, doppelgangers, aliens, it was weird and yet awesome. Well, since the last roleplay we did (because time and such), I started turning loremaster and after a while, created a Mythos.

The background for the setting will be explored through each series I produce, but to catch your fancy, here's the main background info.


Now then, let's get to the series. This thread will be an outlet to get each series out, but I also want to use it for writing tips.:

Greetings, Gamers across the Globe! This is Greatness942, and that was my Youtube intro. For a video based Let's Play thread, you'll be hearing that a lot.


Mount and Blade: Warband is a medieval roleplaying simulation/sandbox game produced by TaleWorlds Entertainment, released on March 30th, 2010. The game is a standalone expansion to Mount and Blade, adding a new kingdom known as the Sarranid Sultanate (a desert based Kingdom) to join the first game's kingdoms (The Nords, the Rhodoks, the Vaegirs, the Swadians, and the Khergit Khanate, and also added multiplayer along with other general improvements. The game was received favorably, and there's a sequel coming out soon as a prequel to both the original game and this, known as Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord.

So, as I was about to start a New Game to play through the actual game again, a thought occurred to me, or hit me like a tanker truck, I forget. What if, I not only swore loyalty to only the Kingdom my character goes to at the start, but was also a criminal and warmonger to every nation except my home Kingdom. In other words:

My Kingdom (Sarranids, Khergits, Nords, Swadians, Vaegirs, Rhodoks) vs. the Five Others, via my actions. Oh yeah.

So, since I brought up the idea of a Let's Play, I thought this made sense to bring up here. I have 3 Forum Games already, but since this will be connected to my channel, it will be easier to do.

Now for the disclaimers followed by the character you guys wanna see go through this.

I'm sure you guys know what Dead Rising 2 is, right? If you don't, it's essentially "Let's take a zombie outbreak, and throw in a motorcyclist who is pretty much obsessed with Duct Tape and his infected daughter." As you can tell if you do know what it is, that isn't the strangest idea in the world. What you will notice no matter what is the name of the topic and the board it's been submitted at. Yep. I wanna try the most ambitious Forum Game idea I've thought of: turning a video game...into a forum game!

...Yeah, okay, I guarantee someone else has at least tried something like this, but if it crashes and burns, then it does at least having been attempted, and that's something, right? Now then, onto some obvious questions.

Q: Where on Earth did you get this idea?
A: A homebrew Tabletop RPG I play with my cousins. We're going through a comedic Star Wars campaign when the thought of my favorite Psychopath battle from this game (who I will get to), set to an RPG with more options, struck me. Since we haven't done that campaign in a while due to location, I thought of a different approach to it.

Q. How will this insane concept work?
A. See, normally I would be coy and just say that you should wait and see, but you can't sell a seafood restaurant to people with one dead fish. I did have a demonstration, but in trying to get it all put together, I grew increasingly frustrated with the tool I was using to do it (which I will say if anyone asks) so I put it away. I may just post the map like so:

and merely track player position in the character sheet, as well as weapon and zombie locations in separate sheets. Not a great way to track 3 characters, so I'm open to any suggestions.

Q. Um, Greatness? Chuck Greene is alone in Dead Rising 2, save for some of the survivors. Can you count, and if not, why are you still here?
A. Yeah, well, when I came up with this game, I had the thought of doing a suggestion game, where players could just control Chuck through the game. It would have silly chaos (which I love), and it would be accurate, since we're playing as Chuck. However, as I merged this with the RPG idea, I came up with this idea: what if 3 of the survivors took it upon themselves to find out the cause of the outbreak? I am open to the idea of a Suggestion Game, but I think it's a good idea.

So, if you guys are interested in this vague concept and wanna see it actually be something...well, um, post I suppose. Along with that, I do have a question for you.

Q: If this game does happen, would you want it to take place in the canon of the original Dead Rising 2, or the canon of Dead Rising 2: Off the Record?
