Re: Out of Character

I'm not a huge fan of the dice roller on here so I have set up a discord server for the game. You can join it here

https://discord.gg/U8tBT7AP

Use the dice-roller channel. On the 1st line in with the skill being used and current % and on the 2nd line the roll itself, 3rd and 4th lines for damage and location.

/help will show you how to make the roller work

Re: Out of Character

Hi guys, I thought I'd take the unusual step of asking everyone what they want out of the game.

Bandos is starting to worry that it's just a parade of monsters as it seems that's all that will make people post. While not criticising the game, what do players want to add to the experience that would make them feel more like posting?

Re: Out of Character

I can understand the issue.

Im finding the format a little restrictive and its sort of killed the flow a bit.
For PBP im more used to lengthy POV narrative. then other people doing their pov narrative - with the internal monologue adding most of the color for the game.

The restriction on no thinking about other people sort of kills it and restricts it to -
A- speaks to b posts.

which isnt pushing interaction as people are not picking up and responding.

So the games become very reactive - people responding when theres something that happens - which is mostly the encounters.

Open to suggestions.

I did the original form of that.
It's more to stop players sniping at each other, thinking about each other is fine as long as it's not passive-aggressive stuff. I should modify the original on my drive

It never wanted it to inhibit play so I'll drop that.

Re: Out of Character

I understand why you have it there.
I havent had a lot of experiences where people have misused stuff.
I tend to subscribe to the black card policy where people let you know if you overstep.

Re: Out of Character

So I can't find any actual rules for shaman discorporation in RQ3, I assume a ritual skill role?

Re: Out of Character

Why is Takazar casting Ignite? It wouldn't harm a spirit. I would suggest spirit screen to be a better spell. It will make him virtually impregnable to the walktapus spirit.

Re: Out of Character

I think you are looking at a roll from back on 6 Jun, the roll yesterday was a ceremony roll to see if he fumbled the discorporation. Was holding off casting anything else until he could see it

Re: Out of Character

Forget the visibility part, the rules are quite a bit different to other versions, in RQ3 it is a self only spell, so he's all alone...

Well, I hear that whiskey is a sovereign cure. You'd best play it safe and have double doses.

Get well soon bud.

Bandos:
. . . in addition we will grant you all a spell, healing magic is easiest here as that is the main type of spirit here but we can manage other things too."</Blue>

(1 spell up to 2 points is allowed)


So is taking Hea2 to Heal 4 admissible?

Re: Out of Character

Sorry this game seems to have died. I'm putting it out of its misery and closing it.
