Forum Games and Roleplaying / KING of THE SPACEPORT: No.1 Mercinary
« on: October 24, 2016, 03:40:55 pm »
Spaceport 812: This is the most important trading hub in all of low security space, it constantly gets conquered, destroyed, and remade with whatever derelict spacecrap happens to be in the area.
King: Anyone may become king if there isn't one living. King may add and remove rooms and choose their theme, ex cafateria, armory, ect. Limit 5 areas.
Kill squad: in order to keep things interesting(I wish every sentence began with those words) only 4 players will be allowed, and the least active one will be constantly hunted.
The curse: players often tend to have some really bad luck if they do a few things:
#1 make things too complicated.
#2 travel too far away from the spaceport.
#3 have too awesome of gear, abilities, allies, vehicles, ect without equal or greater negatives, limitations, and weaknesses to balance them.
#4 doing too many things in a round.
#5 suspicious editing.
You can take this game as seriously or not as you want to. You can bring in and find on location any gear you want, to actually activate anything offensive will require a result from me.

General Discussion / Car accident.
« on: October 08, 2016, 07:25:07 am »
Posting this again without a link to my crowdfunding campaign.
I am okay and safe. I'm at my dad's place. My car was my job so suddenly I need to find new work. I'm very grateful I'm OK I'm not harmed it was very scary I was the last person to arrive to a pre-existing crash at highway speeds. My car might be able to be repaired it's pretty 50/50. Anyway God bless you all again originally I had and I am posting this again because this is the community I've been involved with most over this past six months and where I hang out for most of my free time reading and writing content for these formus. Love you all very much thank you.

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Interest Check: Jurassic Park coop survival
« on: October 04, 2016, 10:11:14 pm »
Excerpt from the intro draft:
This is an alternate reality where the people from the movie either died or didn't show up. We are the experts that were called in or people that were already working at the park, feel free to roleplay either or anything that makes sense.
...Planning a JP coop, who wants some?
In a nutshell its going to involve moving between facilities and getting stuff running, staying alive, and getting off the island. I'm not sure if I should balance for 4(general traffic flow for new-type games) or more.

Oh, Bother.
It was an average day in the hundred-acre woods. Pooh-bear and friends were looking for the Heffalump, when suddenly a pair of glowing red eyes peered out from the darkness...
choose a character and respond. This is an rpg(not suggestion game).

« on: October 01, 2016, 02:57:09 pm »
Combine a fish with a non fish animal that can defeat the previous one- describe how it does it.
Shark+Octopus=OctoShark!
has a round mounth with rotating saw teeth and tentacle madness.
Doodle Mandatory
I know this is going to turn off a lot of people, sorry. Rules are rules I want to see fish madness. There's too many games here that are either no images or really detailed ones. So make your mom proud and go make something you can hang on the fridge(low bar of entry).

Your father killed your mother soon after you were born. Now you have come of age, you want to know why. Raised by the royal guard, you feel life in this service will restrict you from pursing the answers you seek.
Choose one of the following.
a) take work as a mercinary
b) take work as a traveling merchant
c) seek to join the royal calvary
d) travel as an entertainer

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Sharing is Caring
« on: September 27, 2016, 07:37:13 pm »
I've decided I'm going to try to enter this, I'm going to try to write something for it. I'm sharing this here rather than the writing section because I just really feel forum game makers tend to write really really good stuff(you can see I am sometimes a fan). I want to write my own piece for this. I'm just saying this here because maybe in making this post I'll convince you or someone else here to do it and we're just such gosh darn hard workers that something like a published piece of fiction can only do us good and I want us to succeed. Brethren!

Forum Games and Roleplaying / honeyguide
« on: September 25, 2016, 04:15:28 pm »
(rebooting so I can better tell the kind of story I wish)
You are a honeyguide, a small bird that understants cooperation with other species(look it up they're pretty cool, even if documentation and personal accounts can't come to agreement on everything they can do).
However, your life has brought you on a divergent path. You will encounter animals your parents never did.
You are freed from your cage, and you flee some of the more ferocious animals from the shipwreck, until you find a hidden tree on the island with which you can catch your breath and still your drumming heart.

« on: September 23, 2016, 03:31:21 pm »
Hi my name is roseheart, I live in the United States. I've been wanting to do this for a long time and maybe this will be a place to start because I feel like there's probably a lot of people outside of the US[on this forum]. I was wondering if you could tell me about your health care system just a summary of how it works and if you like it and if it's single payer or which type it is. Thank you!!!

Forum Games and Roleplaying / Mechs/"Can" standoff [arena] [2/4]
« on: September 22, 2016, 12:57:51 am »
He squized his gloves. They were not sweaty, despite his anxiety. He rolled his shoulders. His jacket was itself, a finely crafted technology, allowing maximum ability. He looked up, ahead peering through the black shades on his helmet. The announcer signaling... it was time for the show.
The audience cheered, it was no understatement to say Hernandez was a favorite. A pilot for MythOs, a winning brand. He approached his can, a nonsensicle mountain of metal- for now, and climbed in. It rised, and roared!
They were putty in his hands. 20 minutes later, long after hed lost in the first round, a lucky shot from a rookie, who himself was quickly taken down, a new crowd favorite emerged, as fans cried Sabrina! But how long would she be on top in a sport as maddening as this?
RULES
01) in a standard match you win by being the last can alive.
02) You can only activate one ability each round. All abilties you get from parts will fall into 3 types:
Attack: what it says on the tin.
Counter: stops an attack and retaliates, but backfires if you predicted wrong.
Bluff: An ability that isn't one of the above.
03) You can do nothing.
04) You will do nothing if you don't take an action within the match's round timer. (48hrs, 24 hour window for players, 24 hour window for GM to update and I may count some late submissions, but don't count on it!)
05) When you take damage a random part of your body is destroyed. And anything attached to that body part.
06) Many aspects of your can are a secret to your competitors until you use abilities that reveal them... or they do.
07) If all your legs are destroyed you are stunned for a turn.
08) A ranged attack defeats and cancels a melee attack. Most ranged attacks have limited ammo.
09) it's better to quit in around then be destroyed in the same round. Ties will be broken by most kills, then least damage, then least revealed parts, then least afk turns, then most activity.

General Discussion / VR(virtual-) and AR(augmented reality)
« on: September 18, 2016, 01:30:00 pm »
My dad and I were talking about this. He was saying the current VR headsets are big and bulky like old cell phones used to be but they're going to get streamlined just as technology always does that will just be a pair of glasses and then you'll just be able to switch between VR or AR or somewhere in between.
I think one of the traffic challenges we have is the inability to communicate. And I know sometimes you don't want people talking to you and things like that but if you can I don't know make a pop sound with your mouth to confirm someone's request to talk to you or something like that if you have requests enabled then you can talk to each other. If you don't want to use your or hear other people's voices you can have it hawking-afied(or chipmunk-ed, also a good choice).
I remember as a pedestrian this morning the car was trying to get me to walk across the street but I was trying to convey that I would be too slow because they didn't see that my leg was injured and I was carrying stuff.
Moments like these it would be nice to be able to communicate because they could not hear me through their car or the distance between us. Easily anyway.
Edit: just realized this has almost nothing to do with AR or VR at least doesn't have to but those could probably assist it so- like seeing some kind of icon or glow with a person to let you know they have it.
