Whoops, had this written down but forgot to post it.


Hello everyone, you probably guessed this already but now I'm making it official.

This game is Dead.

Now the reasons for such a death is quite simple, a lack of motivation. Of course where that lack of motivation comes from is a bit more complex.

First of all, after looking through this all, I realize that I am a bad GM who made a sloppy rule-set. One mistake that I sincerely regret is making the encounters dependent on dice rather than deliberate design (imagine if dark souls was haphazardly turned into a roguelite). The specific encounter I was referring to would be the indestructible bear of course. When I first spawned the bear, I didn't think that it was going to be indestructible but after looking at everything again, there would have only been one way to kill it (other than grinding resources and killing it later of course).

Now the second reason would be the disappearance of players. Pretty self-explanatory. I don't harbor any ill will towards them especially since they seemed to have disappeared from the forums in general rather than just from my game. I hope that they are able to resolve whatever was distracting them.

For my last words I just want to say to you guys that I am honored for having you guys try out my game and I am very sorry for not being able to continue it. I've learned a lot from this experience and I hope to apply these lessons to any future games that I host.

I might one day make a spiritual successor since I believe that this is still a good concept and I believe that I might one day learn to pull it off correctly

Was the killing way drowning it with our own body? Cause that was my backup plan.

Actually it was luring it into the Heavywater Basin. You would have then been able to jump in, loot the bear corspe, and then waterbend your way out.

That was my second guess.

Currently nothing at the moment. Right now I feel that I would rather watch RTDs than make them. I still need to come up with a new and hopefully better ruleset.
