Next big game? Questions!

Post by LAYF » Sat Oct 05, 2013 10:07 am

So... as some of you know.. I currently run 3 games here and 1 on LSN's forum.
I also have 2 on hold on this forum.
now. 3/5 games on this forum is close to end, and the 2 of last 3 games (here and LSN) are test games, so they wont be to long.

So... I would like to put up a poll to hear what you guys would like for my next BIG game.
This game will be the only game I run when its up, so I'll dedicate a lot to it.. and therefore I'd like a lot of input from you guys!
It might be more than a year away... so be warned..

The style (rules wise and grapichs) will be that of this game: HERE

But what would you like:

Adventure:
A1) One big adventure, in the style of LSN's, ECR's and Thinks games.
A2) A lot of small quests in the style of Capture the flag!
A3++) Other. (Describe)

For Players:
P1) Only classes as is now, all players humans!
P2) Only classes as is now, but players choose race for flavor!
P3) Classes and Races, Classes for levels, Races for stat change level 1.
P4) Classes and Races, Classes and race effects each level.
P5++) Other (Describe)

For Opponents:

O1) non intelligent monster and beasts alone!
O2) Evil Monsters and beasts
O3) Any mix, including humans and the like.
O4++) Other (Describe)


And anything else you may think off!

NOTES TO REMEMBER:
-DEFENSE, either make it a random variable as with attack, or change Armor bonus to a lower number with Damage reduction and durability instead!
-MANA, Add a daily mana? not sure! if, remove max/day for most spells and use max/encounter instead! (Also, mana potions!)
-MAGIC: if mana is added, make a "transfer energy" standard power (good for puzzles)
-

No hope for the abandoned games. :(...you could at least finish the first maze of dungeon of horror with us. New games, again and again, that is not nice. :'(

Adventure:
A1) One big adventure, in the style of LSN's, ECR's and Thinks games.

For Players:
P3) Classes and Races, Classes for levels, Races for stat change level 1.

For Opponents:
O3) Any mix, including humans and the like.

Oh, sorry. I did misunderstood. It seemed to me like you changed your mind about those games. Sorry. I am really looking forward into a big game from you after every single one so far was a success. :)

Just collecting the votes:

A small question, seeing as the small games go now, would you guys like to include a Daily Mana amount, thus limiting the amount of spells per day for the casters? just a thing I've been thinking about!

A1 (or A2 if it'll run like a campaign with the same people choosing quests and travelling around) - I like big stories.

P - Don't care. This could involve a LOT of drawing though, so I'll leave it to you :)

O3 - Definitely have a mix. This gives your players more to think about and allows you a lot more freedom to be evil smart with your own tactics.

EDIT: wrt to your question, you could have a mana cost if you want to limit your casters, but it might be worth waiting to see if they NEED to be limited first.

Yes, a daily mana sounds good. One thing I dislike about The Hoard (I still think it's an awesome game, though!) is the unlimited spells. "Oh, I'm out of mana? I will just spend a few turns resting".It slows the game play as spellcasters need to spend some turns resting and it makes them kind of too powerful.

Re: Next big game? Questions! Co-GM? maybe?

Post by LAYF » Sun Nov 10, 2013 6:54 am

Thanks for all the answers :)

Now, I'm going to toss this out there already now, yet there is still months till this game starts!

I've been looking at Cavemen, the game by Nikohl and Badge! and one thing I've noted is, that I really like how they Co-GM.


So, for this game

I'll be looking for a Co-GM
Yes, you hear it.. A Co-GM!
What will this Co-GM do?
Well;

-First and foremost, he/she will be able to run any NPC dialog in between and for some updates (I'll also do this, we will figure out how we do it before game)
-He/she will also get a big say in things that are not "scripted" in game. Say, I've made a gate supposed to open by magic, but a barbarian just makes MAX on a strength test when trying to break it down or a scroll of lightning is used on a statue that should have been broken by a thief's skills.. we will talk about how stuff should go down!
-He/she will also, as soon as he/she is chosen, get a copy of the main map outlay, and the starting story, and of-cause, get to influence it as much as fair!
-And lots of other things. the most important, A good person to Ping-Pong ideas with before they go into action!
-BUT! He/she will not be able to gain a PC role in the game (lot's of NPC opportunities do)
-.... Oh... yea... and he/she might help me from the more embarrassing spelling and grammar mistakes *Blush*

Now, If this has interest for you, please sing up below. if you are chosen you'll get a PM with the notes, else you'll gain a PM with a "nope sorry"
You will decide yourself if you want people to know who you are before the game starts... (or indeed, even for some time in game)

I'll get in the running for co-GM, I'm cool with not getting a player spot.
NOTE TO ALL THOSE I AM GAMING WITH: Currently gaming with others in the Sacred Statue Garden.
