Bay 12 Games Forum

I'm just using the original Zentol meaning, although on a new word, of course.  I can't wait until somone finds that word- their current pinnacle of weaponized magic is dropping a gold block on somebodies head.

Well, and summoning black holes.  But the first time that was used it killed every active player, so they are paranoid about it.  And it was the second word used.

Anyways, please continue suggesting new words!

No, I meant sense.  What if those necro-hunters csn detect necromancy spells?  I'd hate to have just spent almost all our mana with an entire camp of experienced soldiers bearing down on us.  Anyways, will we even get xp for such a simple spell?

But I'm just being cautious here, it's unlikely to be an issue.

Hrm.  All I get is a repeating strip where I can walk left or right forever.  And the seekers just get stuck together immediately.  Ah well.

Still, I'm quite interested in where this will go, so Posting To Watch.

You can easily create a Perplexicon-like game, but I just don't think you'll be able to manage much of the fun.  So you have control over firefungus, and you want to make a fungus minimech crossed with springheel jack.  How would your game handle that? 

At best, I can see ordering it to form some pre-defined shapes/monsters, and moving those around.  Nothing more.

Yeah, I was Aether's spy on Bismuth.  That wasn't the fun part though, the fun was that I was also Bismuth's spy on Aether.

I was literally the entirety of both teams' military intelligence.  I even had plans to destroy Aether with Bismuth, and control Bismuth through proxy, but that ended with the game, sadly.  And I was soo close.

Ahh, well.


BTW, I call being the patron saint of deception.

Didn't someone do that?  They ended up falling next to the mountain path?

By "Reassign" I mean the words mean different things.  Previously "Dorbaelo" meant "Mark item in right hand", whereas now it means "Tatoo right hand".  It's just a coincidence that it still involves the right hand.  I don't think the rune images really correspond to anything, so they've been reassigned in the same manner.  The circles are a problem but I'll just have to suffer that if someone cheats. 

Also, I'm not going to run a game for B12.  Maybe later, if people really want me to and this game goes well.  I was going to run a game for a group of friends outside of B12, and was just re-arranging words so they couldn't just google stuff.


I think we should certainly have an online document of some sort for the language, specific meanings for words, ect.  Heck, if we go with the below idea, it would really have the entire culture, and any myths that come about during play.

Anyways, I propose we also implement a bit of a religion.  The highest patron god would be Piecewise, of course, then below him would be the eight gods we have in this game, and below them would be all the players as patron saints of stuff.  Not characters, players, like myself and "The Great Golden Wyrm".  Then Zentol would sorta be outside this, meaning the very personification of magic.

If this is a RP'ing game, we could develop myths as we play- a character just preaches to someone about the day the great Toaster attacked the warship of Xanmyral and... The other sky pirate guy (sorry!).  And then that's written into our lore.

More questions for PW:
What are the mechanical effects of a mageblood transfusion?
Will you continue to develop the world for us?  Flesh out the lore, make combat stats for the wizards, ect.  I could do it myself, but you seem better at it.
How do the communication circles work?  I get the channels, but do they just transport voice when someone is standing in them?  If there's a bunch set to the same channel, and someone talks in one, does the voice come out in every circle?
Gods would change what they want you to do once you leveled up with them, (Sha-calun the everflame would want you to just use fire to get the first level, then he wants you to actually kill things with fire) but it doesn't say anything about that in the gods file.

I think you'd do like (Plant contain booze).
