So... You said the update was coming up four days ago. When should we be expecting it?

3752
Just throwing this out here, but how many people would be interested in a PvP Gridland Survival game with a style similar to an arms race game?

Summer 7, Year 1



Spoiler: Player Locations (click to show/hide)

Fish x2 (E): 3/3
Fish (E): 7/7
Screamy (NE): 4/5
Goat (S): 70/70
Cor Mite x19 (T)

Call uses breath of life to hael Geos for 1 health. Just 16 more to go! Noteworthy is the fact that Call could only barely reach Geos from a different map tile.

Hikari Sandashi heads east to investigate the river. There appear to be some fish in there. The river itself flows to the north, and is likely to be an obstacle if you try to cross it on tile E.

Aster lets aaaa. up on his aaaa. attack, and AAAAAAAA. inspects the Screamy. AAAA. AAAA. It looks sort AAAA. of like a bird AAAA. without wings AAAA. or legs. AAAA. It does not AAAA. stop screaming. AAAA. It could probably AAAA. be picked AAAA. up by a AAAA. larger Dryad. AAAA. Aster heads back to the tree.

Leaf Vinehead uses Draw Blood to finish off the remaining Cor-Mite in the east tile.

Geos attempts to Adapt himself to his current environment... This does not appear to work. This is most likely due to the fact that as a Dryad of the tree you are basically adjacent to, you are adapted to surviving in this very specific area by default. This might be possible in a different environment should you ever have a reason to travel away from the tree for extended periods of time. It would be more effective on non-dryads.

Antler moves south. He encounters a large Quadruped. It does not appear to notice him.

The Cor-Mites that were previously sighter have arrived near the tree! Perhaps you could have done more to prepare for such an assault. Making things worse, a few more wander in from the southeast!

Alright, that's basically what I needed to hear. Update coming soon.
Edit: By which I mean now.

3755
All the games I was interested stopped updating, and that seems to have made me stop updating my own game as well. Is anyone having enough fun with Dryad Rage for me to justify keeping it running?

3756
I cannot find the part of the rules that specifies how tool labor cost works. Could you please point it out to me? I have never seen anything about a bonus quality level and none of the tools include a labor cost. (I am assuming this is completely unrelated to the Industrious ability).

Summer 6, Year 1



Spoiler: Player Locations (click to show/hide)

Screamy (NE): 4/5
Cor Mite (E): 1/2


Call uses his breath of life ability to heal Geos for 1 health.

AAAA.ster Witheredlock AAAA. uses his AAAA. Shadow Asphixiation aaaa. ability on aaaa. the Screamy, aaaa. inflicting 1 damage to aaaa. it.

Leaf Vinehead moves to the south and uses his Draw Blood ability twice at half effectiveness, inflicting 1 damage to one Cor Mite, but the other one resists the feeble spell.

Geos uses a Geode bomb on the remaining mites, dealing 2 damage to one, and 1 damage to the other. Unfortunately, the mite that took the majority of the hit was the already injured one. Geos then returns to the tree... And having had no objections Geos casts Tier Incease on himself!

The Cor Mite that still lives bites Leaf Vinehead to deal 1 damage.

Antler gently prods the woodpecker. The woodpecker does not appreciate being gently prodded, and pecks Antler to deal 2 damage. The woodpecker then flys away.

Bernard is concerned about the dwindling food supplies: It seems that the others were not as skilled at foraging as he is. He decides to put the unintended farming research to use.

Bernard moves from F6 to G6
Bernard crafts a Hoe using Unnamed Branch as Material 1 and Unnamed Branch as Material 2. (Relevant skills: Industrious)
Bernard forages at G6 with any leftover labor after attempting to craft the Hoe.
Free Reseach Ability: Continue research on Gathering

3759
Yikes. Gathering is a two question mark research? That's the most basic technology I could even think of! What kind of pre-requisites could I possibly be missing?

GM Error detected: The food section of the spreadsheet indicates we have 19 food, which is different from the amount on the forum post.

Question: How much labor is required to create a tool?

The tree is on F6.

Update coming soon once I can be bothered to make it.

You gotta get into a habit of updating sooner rather than later. If you update once every three days at the beginning your players will think they can wait two days before posting an action, and if that happens the game will suffer quite a bit. That is what happened to Dryad Rage I think.

For now, I think you should try to get an update done each day while the game is still simple, and learn some techniques to make future updates easier to do. (There is a reason that the new dryad rage map tiles are on the very opposite ends of the map).

The spreadsheet has a research tab. Its not very intuitive since you need to navigate to several other tabs to get all the details though. I'd recommend actually putting the details in the main game thread to make it easier to understand what they actually do.

Despite having completed essential research on food cultivation, Bernard had failed to do anything to improve foraging ability. He begins to try again. Bernard also recommends trying not to consume all of the Dawn Fruit. Its Mythical rating suggests that once its gone it may be gone for good and some day we may really want to make some kind of creature sentient.

Bernard moves from E6 to F6
Bernard forages at F6
Bernard designates Smack Fruit as the next food he intends to eat
Free Reseach Ability: Begin research on Gathering


Also: Question - How long is the lizard like creature? If its one meter tall and has the shape of a lizard, then it could be one meter tall and six meters long or something. Just figured I should ask that before one of us does something careless.

Summer 5, Year 1



Spoiler: Player Locations (click to show/hide)


Screamy (NE): 5/5
Cor Mite x16 (NN): 2/2
Cor Mite (E): 2/2
Cor Mite x2 (E): 1/2
Woodpecker (T): 8/8

Hikari Sandashi heads to the east... Meaning the GM has to make a new tile now. The mountain area in the south looks even higher here. There are also some objects that appear to be a tree, yet are not trees at ground level.

Call heads east to deal with Cor Mites, using Gust to try to blow them away, dealing 1 damage to three of them. It appears that call does not have the required power multiplier to be able to blow them out of the tile entirely.

Leaf Vinehead attempts AAAA. to talk to AAAA. the AAAA. Screamy. It is AAAA. most assuredly AAAA. responding, but AAAA. not in a AAAA. way that AAAA. you can understAAAA.nd. Since it AAAA. does technically respond AAAA. I guess AAAA. that means Leaf AAAA. does not AAAA. intend to move AAAA. this turn? AAAA. AAAA. Its too bad AAAA. Leaf doesn't AAAA. have AAAA. an ability that AAAA. lets him AAAA. communicate with AAAA.nimals

Antler uses Regeneration to heal 2 health from the readily available rainwater and returns to the tree. A medium bird has been sighted near the tree.

Goes uses a Geode Bomb on the Group of Cor-Mites. It appears that they have been spread out by the previous gust attack, making it hard to hit many of them at once. Geos deals 2 damage to one, and 1 damage to another, defeating two of them. Three of the Cor Mites have been displaced and are not in a position to attack, but one of them bites Geos for 1 damage.

Aster Witheredlock AAAA. moves southeast AAAA. towards the bridge AAAA. There is AAAA. something AAAA. very loud AAAA. here. Leaf seems AAAA. to be trying AAAA. to talk to AAAA. it.


Tutorial - GM Errors: Sometimes the GM misses little details such as the exact location your character is at. If you see something that does not appear to be correct, mention it.

To answer a curiosity that a player has, you can use more than one ability in a single turn, but you need to split your characters power multiplier among the two abilities. For example, if you want to use Regeneration and Morningstar you can allocation 0.5 power multiplier to both. This will give you a lousy regeneration effect and a lousy attack effect. I specifically mentioned previously that even very weak enemies can resist an attack with a multiplier less than 1.0

The homestuck reference will make an interesting research subject when we can afford to research not-food.
