I suppose the Standalone IS supposed to be released before the year is out. But you never know. I look forwards to playing with you guys some time in the future.

Alternatively we could play DayZ

The Tavern needs to play DayZ.

Setting: Dungeoneering's world was great and all, but it's terrible for anything else Magic: Yes, Limited, possibly in the form of pseudo-magical stuff like Grim's Artifact Powers from 2025 Gameplay: Demi-sandbox, players will be in contact regularly but work towards their own goals a la Space Towns: In/around a major town, or all within a truly massive metropolis Fate Points: Possibly Hybrid, still trying to understand the mechanism Skill System: In the end, I couldn't care less, so long as I can be reasonably competent in my field Alternatively; whatever our long-suffering GM decides on. This business is a wonderful opportunity to turn the game into something we all will enjoy, but we've been making the worst possible use of that opportunity to bicker about nonsense and ideology as opposed to having FUN.

Almost everything we do is Dungeoneering. <.< We haven't had nearly enough games in a post-apocalypse setting.

I've heard support from Retech. That's it. Who else is so dead-set on it?
-
I'm just going to say that 2025 is a good setting as well. Again. :rolleyes:

Cool beans. You guys should check out the False Positive webcomic. It's like The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits minus the predictability.
-
Like, +1, etc. Do you need to play Mass Effect before playing Mass Effect 2? I can't really get my hands on a copy I don't think...
-
This? D: How did you do that? Is it something about different forum layouts?

Thing is I can't post that without the link, and if I don't post it and I remove it from my sig it's lost forever. I think. :D

Here you go: 'Bone Magic' 'Void Magic'You are aware that Oneiromancy, Chronomancy, Geomancy and several of the others are as well, right? And following that form is the logical choice as it is more reasonable to have one set of rules for naming schools of magic than two. 9/17 are ancient forms of divination with a proper Greek name, and hence they (albeit barely) outweigh those that don't have one. Besides what does the lack of origin matter for the rest of them when they can easily and properly be translated? Because they don't sound good. The only reason to use any of that is because it sounds good. The use of Necromancy as a term to refer to the magical raising of the dead in modern fantasy has the same logical roots as Square Enix naming a character Cloud Strife. Someone thought it sounded snappy, even if the meaning is some amount of disparate from the subject (I realize that 'Necro' refers to the dead, so it's not as if it doesn't make sense, I'm just saying the only reason to use it is so you don't have to repeatedly say 'raising the dead'). While this stuck for Necromancy and some other terms with the suffix, it doesn't take long before it starts sounding terribly forced and cliche. This doesn't even address the in-character issue of a universal set of magic terminology. Take any two countries, even a pair of states in America, and they'll probably have their own distinct terms for any number of things. Why should magic be any different? It's not a brand name, and no two individuals use it in quite the same way. The term 'Magic' itself is only the English word. In short, standardization of language is bad. Language doesn't work that way. I have no qualms about you making delicious stew with 'Culiomancy', but don't you be so absurd as to force that on everyone else. (This is all on principle, of course. In my honest objective opinion, Archi should just use _____ Magic so he doesn't have to look up what we're talking about every few minutes. It's not easy being a mod, he even got confused about Soulcrafting last game. :P)That is... Actually nothing like what I was saying. But sure, why not... On a separate note, we should all start deciding now which of Archi's settings we like. Just sayin', we've been playing a bunch of fantasy, and it was pretty fun to play 2025 way back when.Whenever I start having faith in the general intelligence of mankind, I like to watch Maury or read Mather's posts. Most uses of '-mancy' don't actually mean anything. The few that do, such as Necromancy, Pyromancy, and Allomancy, refer to ancient methods of divination. I don't know what your deal is, but what you say has no bearing on the laws of the world just because you decide it does.Arbitrary Greek is silly. Use it all you want, but I'm calling my Light Magic 'Light Magic'. Pyromancy and Allomancy sound cool though, and I might use those. In a setting that isn't magic-heavy, likely as not everyone will have their own name for what they do. On another note, I thoroughly support the 2025 setting! Anything Archi wants to do is good enough, but 2025 was fun.Alternatively and in keeping with the comedy bit; We could all just play Paranoia. :DRetro Futuristic makes me ill. Fallout included. I enjoyed 2025. Post Apocalypse is a simple and inexplicably attractive setting for games. Maybe not so much for comedy, but when you intend comedy it's just not the same.I'm not too good with TWF, but I suppose I could try. You just have to transcribe the sheet into a different format, as no electronic device I own can seem to get at the site Wyvren used to build Shadow.

I knew it! I said it would happen. Just be careful of vicious ship-burning Kobolds. And Ereglast, if he's not burning Hero Points or something to hide on my ship or something. On another note, how does one incorporate a snazzy tricorn hat into a suit of plate armour?- 690 replies
