Forum Games and Roleplaying / SquadCraft: Roguelike Turn-based Strategy
« on: July 01, 2019, 06:44:57 pm »
♪ True Survivor
SquadCraft is an RTS inspired forum game.
This is a game where you design your own units and capture the enemy hex. The information is spoilered and you have a fog of war.
Battles last about a month.
Rules:
1. Post your actions in a spoiler, do not look at your opponent's spoilers until after the match.
2. If you do not have any actions to perform, do not just wait for time to expire... post "wait" in a spoiler.
3. If you become unable or do not wish to continue, do not just leave... say that you are dropping out.

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Re: IRON GLADIATOR: TOO BE CONTINUED
« on: July 01, 2019, 02:31:26 pm »
♫ Tanker Deck A Crew's Quarters
Hey guys. I was sick, and I also found out I don't own my 3D images (they belong to Google) and thus IG was iced. Or put on ice.
I don't want to host IRON GLADIATOR without that stuff. To me, it is what makes it fun and challenging. And I think you like it to.
I have a hard time focusing on something that isn't challenging enough for me. I love designing forum games, and I love art. I combine both to finish games or go further than I could otherwise.
Right now I don't have that option.
The puppet battle was supposed to be an intermission until I could move forward with 3D. Since Google Sketchup requires ridiculous yearly fees to own your own damn images I am screwed. I want to transition to Blender, but I can't because my library PC's do not allow me to install them.
Anyway, there is your update.
I suppose I could continue in a 2D art style, but for the sake of consistent story telling I'd reboot in that case. I will be continuing to host other games as I cannot proceed with IG normally.
If you want a reboot of IG let me know. I will consider it. If you want to try something else, I have brought back another old series called Panic Race, which I will also challenge myself to fill with colorful characters (your own and mine) and exciting action.
I love you all. As a kid I was very shy to tell my own parents I loved them. But my players are my favorite people in the world.
I know I am strange and host weird games unlike the status quo but I host kooky games for kooky people.
I'm sorry

As of a few days ago OceanSoul last logged in to the forums over a year ago. This person played a lot of mine and other's games, even perminantly taking on an avatar I provided for a session of ZL. I was very humbled by this gesture. Glad you liked it.
OceanSoul was up for anything. I miss them.

General Discussion / What is special about Bay 12
« on: June 27, 2019, 12:17:41 am »
Dwarf Fortress is a game I only dabbled in. I don't even have a PC that could run it right now. But that is kind of why I am here.
Wether you log in from a phone or school PC or wherever, one hobby you can always keep up with is forum games.
I started my forum gaming on GameFAQs which has a forum for every game published. And for a time it was a great place to learn to make them, until the moderator staff began to crack down more on them.
I can't really tell the story of how I found Bay 12, because I honestly don't remember. But I sure am glad I did. And while my peers remind me it's not that big of a deal...I am super proud to run the official forum game list, since 2017 infact which is longer than anyone before me.
I have long wondered why the glove fits so well. Dwarf Fortress and forum games. Tonight a lightbulb turned on above my head, and for the first time I had an answer that satisfied me.
Dwarf Fortress, unlike many of the yearly AAA throw away titles, is an ongoing project. The theme is building, but it is also in and of itself the spirit of continuous improvement. And in a way that is what the forum game community is all about. You can always grow as a player and a host and designer. We grow together and we grow individually.

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Forum Game Suggestions
« on: May 23, 2019, 02:52:59 pm »
This was suggested by Supernerd. Though I think it may work better as its' own thread than an online document.
Basically just post a game you'd like to play.
-rehost request
-new game suggestion
-idea you don't want to host yourself
Stuff like that. This is for everyone to host(not just for me to host it). Well let's see if this works. Worth a shot.

New players can join during the game too, not just at the start. And make a new character if they die.
(This is a kind of crossover game, with races and stuff from various sci-fi media, books, movies, ect.)

Talk in character. Active players only.
48 hour time limit(minimum time allotted, you can continue if I haven't locked the thread). You can vote to "wait" if you want to see if anything happens. (skip ahead)
Feel free to PM me actions, or post them in the thread in bold.
Setting:

There are no major empires or unions in this universe. But civil races tend toward friendly to strangers. Many planets are new colonies, often with many races. There are exceptions, but this sets the general setting.
Most planets do not have a means to communicate instantaneously, infact information courier is a common job.
The habitable zone of known space is close enough, and the tech of travel of such a type, that relativistic effects have no effect on travelers. You wont age slower than people on the worlds, for example.
At this time ships are only externally accurate. Internally they are subject the the rooms available, which may be randomized.
There are no language barriers... Just talk in English. (You can roleplay that you are doing otherwise, but everyone understands)
I will add more details if they come up. _

In-Character Thread
Hey, this is an improvised game I want to develop on the fly. The premise is a kind of cross between Mafia and FTL. So when you join you get a random skill, race, and goal. Every turn the players vote on how to respond to events. You may also need to do battle, man stations, and repair damage. The ship can be upgraded and even replaced.
I make no secrets about it, I am winging this one.
As far as how often turns are we'll see what works best for everybody. We could hold battles on Discord, or not. (don't let it discourage you from signing up if you don't use it)
Oh the idea is that new players can join during the game too, not just at the start. And make a new character if they die.
I'm thinking I will do races and events taken from sci-fi sources(not inspired by). That said. What races would you like to be able to play as? Nothing too powerful will show up. We can't have a superman that just fights the battles for the ship, for example. Predator could work. Xenomorph could show up as an enemy, but crew members would have to be able to fly a ship and probably reasonably work with other species.

You don't feel well. Infact you are pretty bad off. Like, really bad. I mean this is beyond not good. We're talking bad news. Or it will be, once you start spreading it.
