Bay 12 Games Forum

Alright, I've been getting questions about rules, so I'll post the system which I'm most confident about.

Everyone who wants to mine will be assigned one or a few mines, which will have a mineral or minerals assigned as well as a "richness" value. Rich mines have lots of the mineral in one place, while poor mines have less mineral or less pure mineral.

Each month, each mine will mine an amount of mineral equal to the lode richness times a special modifier based on the mineral times the number of miners working there, times a number equal to around 1/100. Copper and marble both have a special modifier equal to 100; iron's is 50, gold's is 15, and so on. Metal ores need to be smelted, typically at a rate of 10 ore plus one fuel to one bar of metal. Fuel can be coke (derived from coal) or charcoal (derived from wood), or occasionally omitted in special cases probably involving magic. As the years go on, mines become less efficient as miners need to spend more time moving the minerals than mining; this takes the form of a drop in a few tenths of a percentage point in mineral gain every year, although this mechanic will be the first tossed if the whole thing is too complex. A single smelter can smelt four loads of ore per month.

Alloys can also be smelted. It takes three iron, one unit of charcoal, and fuel to make two (or maybe one) bar of steel. Two copper plus one tin plus fuel equals three bronze. I'll come up with other alloys on request.

First off: Work =\= Good money. Maybe we should consider a mortgage so we can invest some more.

Second off: I suggest we go see Gilbert and Clara to see what's up. We are supposed to be their friend, after all, and it's not like we have anything to do either.

Get Supermen a Guilty verdict.

Head to the upper forums, there's one waiting. Currently called The Goblin Age and waiting for me to rest so I can update it.

"The paladins are cohesive if you exclude Xantalos, who seems bent on destroying the universe."

"Perhap I should Rephrase. Homogenous? It seems as if the Romantics have no plan, and are simply reacting. The Drunken fools are acting, though the validity of their plans are up to debate. The Paladins have put forward a semi-organized effort to accomplish things, but have as of yet failed.

How and why do you think this is? How does the Deception play into it? Is it aiding or detracting from the teams?"

Well, in my opinion the characters currently under the paladins' subsection are rather...diverse. Some just want to kill; some want to conquer; some want to destroy everything; some got lumped there because they're trying to achieve the original objective of the game. Lumping these people into one group is definitely impeding the "paladins'" group cohesion. For instance, whoever sabotaged the MechaHitler was trying to frame me as well as impede our efforts, which indicates one of my rivals on the Paladins' side.

Don hazmat suit.
