The Magic Portal OOC

Post by BadgeAddict » Tue Sep 01, 2015 5:39 am

Feel free to ask questions or talk among yourselves as here.

I will also leave tidbits of information or additional things that expand on the game that I may not have covered initially...it's a problem I have.

Such as:
1. Had someone....not tasted the chalk circle, you would have all ended up together....you know who to blame for that.
2. I will be adding a daylight cycle tracker. It is currently dawn. (There are 12 stages of light, 8 stages of light, 4 stages of dark)
a. Stages of light: 1. Dawn, 2. Morning, 3. Late Morning, 4. Noon, 5. Early Evening, 6. Evening, 7. Late Evening, 8. Dusk, 9. Early Night, 10. Late Night, 11. Midnight, 12. Pre-Dawn
3. Update schedule, will at this point be Saturday or Sunday and Wednesday or Thursday. I know that was really vague, I'm sorry.
4. If you would like me to email you when an update happens, I can do that, just let me know.

Lets hope he's not in the group to find the void egg then, then again i do wonder now what a void egg would taste like. :roll:

on a side note do we have the standard esp that other games have set up?

standard esp = knowing where the others are or even the higher variant with being able to talk via esp?

In your current world, you will use this worlds rules...so, in this world, standard esp is talking, but not seeing. You can share details of where you are, and eventually, when you've explored a bit more of the map, there will be an overhead Grid map with numbered squares to allow you to "know" where you are better.

Still blech, but that's just me. I'm not a fan of the ESP thing... at least partly because I forget it exists (more than once in Lair of the Mountain King), so tend to ignore what other people say if they aren't in the same area as me. :shrug:

So... Tastes is too fixated on tasting things to make much use of it. :P

lol spider. Well, I am seeing it neutral. In my games I prefer "location/direction" ESP only, so the chars feel their friends presence if they are not too far away.
It makes things easier and allow to do some things that would otherwise be meta.

Well, it's better than bad meta RPing, but I still don't like ESP...

If you're adding a daylight tracker will sleeping be an action on this adventure?

Sleeping will be possible.

And while I agree with you spider, I didn't want to make it completely impossible... Basically... Okay how you want... As long as you follow my rules. >:D

I'd be fine without esp if everyone agrees to rp without meta knowledge. If that's a problem though, I'm fine with keeping it

Says the guy who will literally taste everything......everything..., oh look an enemy monster, lick lick lick.....oh..I'm nearly dead, help me.. :lol:

I understand Spider, In fact I believe that in my last 2 GAL quests, people stuck to RPing over ESP...honestly, its whichever you want.

Nerre is ...confused...so I will explain this for him and anyone else who may feel confused.

The game is broken down into areas, as opposed to a giant ongoing map. I drew each area separately. Flat edges mean's (typically) that you can walk in that direction to get to the next area. You aren't able to "see" the next area...because that would be overly complicated for me to draw. plus, with my game being at an iso angle, sometimes showing the "South" details are difficult. Thinks did it right when she gave me another action option (diving into the pool as opposed to walking west). As you have learned by now from runsaround's action, you can "look" around you and get an idea of what is in the other directions, much like chuck did as well (though not as specifically).

Any questions...please ask.

I am not confused. One of my posts did not get posted for some reason and your update then was interpreted by me that the world ends behind and in front of what we see.
Nevermind, without the post it makes sense.

I actually wanted to look north and south in the first turn. :/

Pat
You might want to be a little more specific than 'tries to mount one of the guys' because all that implies is a male...something...
The evil DM in me might have you try and mount a fellow Goblin with those instructions... :evillaugh:

I might just have unlocked a secret skill instead that allows me to deal extra damage with hurtful words? :P

That'll be my next game...where hurtful words score extra damage. :P


Also, typically I will write the words people say in their color as long as they use their color, I just copy it out of your post word-for-word. So, if you want it in color, you have to make it in color.

At least go all the way, and have all fights decided by rap battles.
