Hex are cupcake. :blink:

I apologize to everyone that once again, a game of mine has failed. In Reanimated I let you advance too quickly and delegated control of it to a mod without much drive to keep it going, in Shades of Monochrome I made a flawed arbitrary system and the inner workings collapsed, and Fallen Star... well, Fallen Star is just too slow for you guys, and you weren't the best target audience for it anyways. On the bright side, though, I might be able to write a science fiction novel now! Anywho, I'm still on a quest to make a game that is easily understood, enjoyable for player and mod alike, and above all, balanced. The biggest problem is creating a world distinct from Dungeoneering, as I've decided I don't want to have to go through wikipedia looking for weapon articles for a modern game, or have to think up plausible mechanisms every time I make a post in a futuristic one. My current idea is to start off with the players as scavengers in the lawless slums of a humid northern city, where the immediate goal is to either conquer or escape your section of town and begin carving out your niche in society to allow for greater and greater expansion. The players will each have a distinct magic style governed by past uses of magic, a bit like the Shades of Monochrome system. I would do the same thing with combat styles, but only if you guys are willing to describe melee combat a bit more in-depth. Also, I would like to know if you would prefer limited or unlimited use of magic, and how those limits should be imposed (limited number of castings a la D&D, mana points system, etc.). Either way you won't always be able to rely on magic, because if you're used to blasting away enemies with fire then you won't be able to heal easily, if at all. Finally, I want to incorporate a bit of strategy into this in the form of controlling different areas of the game. Once an individual player (or, as unlikely as it may be with this crowd, a group of players) has a definitive hold on an area that is defined by some form of boundary I will alert them to the fact, add it to their character profile, and explain what they can do with it. So, could you all tell me what you think? Should I go through with this, and does anyone want me to keep making these games? I regret to fill the Tavern with unused threads, but I want to try and make something enjoyable for everyone. I may not be the most intelligent, witty, or innovative individual here, but I am at least blessed with determination! Well, determination to continue making games, if not to continue the games themselves. tl;dr: Making a new game. At least skim through the 3rd and 4th paragraphs.

'Kay, Paul.

I begin firing my beebee gun at the ropes on Grim's catapult, and tossing down random boxes on everyone's heads.

Today or tomorrow then?

Are we having a session?

Yeah, though their other games can be good, and they do at least try =b

EXPLOSIONS! I WANT TO SEE AN EXPLOSION! ICU, if you don't make something (other than me) make a very big boom, I might be tempted to try destroying Caladburn.

Sooba! Earthsage, your avatar is a moglin from Adventurequest, don't deny it. Besides, I know you're not a moglin, even Kabroz is cooler than you.

ICU, you're second to Grim. Maybe. Caladburn gives you a huge advantage and you still have some of the highest levels. But I wonder... is Caladburn succeptable to allomancy? :rolleyes:

Simple: Just throw a moglin in ahead of you to spring any traps. Earthsage should work, considering his avatar.

Yeah, ICU would likely be killed by an embarassing accident while trying to be epic and Earth might shoot himself in the foot with a poisoned arrow.

Pie, that would be awesome. Wait, where's Rocco?

Sorry to pester, any sessions planned?

?

Hex are cake. Cake are lie. Cake really pie. Hex too good for pie. Hex tell truth? No, Hex cupcake.

Hehe

If your avatar has to be your face, does that mean I'm Richard? *fwoosh*

And not all girls drool at guys who have to wear bibs themselves.

Woah, interesting. I don't know much about rhyme schemes, yours seems a little strange, but all in all it's a good poem.

Mather! Shame on you! Why would you make Doom and Iey pour bleach into their eyes?!

You're friends with all the mods. 9/10

Ooh, not good. Me eyes! I cannah see!

I'm magical. :blink:

All of that is true. It's really not that hard to flip someone from the position I was in if the person holding you isn't too strong and 2/3rds your bodymass. :rolleyes:
