Bay 12 Games Forum

Let's read the introduction, and see if it jogs my memory.






Whee let's get this thing on the road... err trail.

A new system that uses the dwarven attributes of strength, toughness and agility along with an inventory and experience to increase the strategy involved in TSALLT games. The system will be similar to before with facings and unsynchronised movement, however combat will be much different.
When a player initiates a combat versus another player, both players roll a 1d5 to see who attacks first. This is called the agility roll off. The initiator will get a bonus depending on the direction he assaulted from. If from the front +1, from the side +2, from behind +4. Half the agility (rounded up) of each player is also added as a bonus to their roll. Whoever has the highest die after modifications, attacks first.
The attacker will roll a 1d6 and compare their strength and the opponents toughness in the following chart.

If the attacker meets the win condition, they damage the opponent. Otherwise the defender gets to counter attack becoming the attacker. The die is rolled again and the chart is used to see if the defender wins. This keeps going until one of the players is successfully attacked.
(Note if both players have 5 toughness and 1 strength, the system would cause a stalemate. To avoid this, in such situations the player to win the agility roll off will win the combat)

Upon winning, the player will gain experience and can proceed as normal next turn.
Upon losing, the player will lose a life and be knocked out. The knocked out player can revive after missing two turns. During the turn of revival, the player will be unable to attack, be attacked and can can pass through enemy squares. This is to stop players from camping the one they KO'd.  Any unconscious players can be looted for accessories.

The three attributes strength, toughness and agility contribute to a number of things including inventory, movement and life.

Strength determines the penalties of carrying too many items.
#Strong (1) – 1 item = No penalty, >1 item = immobilised
#Very Strong (2) – 1 item = No penalty. 2 items = -1 movement penalty. >2 items = immobilised
#Extremely Strong (3) – 2 items = No penalty. >2 Items = immobilised
#Mighty (4) – 2 item = No penalty. 3 items = -1 movement penalty. >3 items = immobilised
#Ultra-Mighty (5) – 3 item = No penalty. >3 items = immobilised

Agility determines the distance a player can move.
#Agile (1) – Base movement of 3 squares
#Very Agile (2) – Base movement of 4 squares
#Extremely Agile (3) – Base movement of 4 squares
#Unbelievably Agile (4) – Base movement of 5 squares
#Perfectly Agile (5) – Base movement of 5 squares

Toughness determines the number of lives a player has.
#Tough (1) – 2 lives
#Very Tough (2) – 3 lives
#Extremely Tough (3) – 4 lives
#Unbelievably Tough (4) – 5 lives
#Superdwarvenly Tough (5) – 5 lives, only misses one turn when knocked out.

All players start of on level zero, you gain experience points for knocking out enemy players. The amount of points you receive is proportional to the difference between the levels. If you knock out a player equal, one above or one below then one point is received. If you knock out a player more than one level below you then no experience is gained.
e.g.
-A level 3 player KOs a level 5 player, two points are received.
-A level 3 player KOs a level 2 player, one point is received.
-A level 3 player KOs a level 0 player, no points are received.

To gain a level, you must have sufficient experience.
l0->l1 = 2 points
l1->l2 = 3 points
l2->l3 = 4 points
l3->l4 = 5 points
l4->l5 = 6 points

When you gain a level you are given two attribute points to put towards your attributes.

There are two categories of items. Weapons and accessories. Each player must always be carrying at least one weapon, and any number of accessories. Every weapon modifies the attacking, defending, or agility roll in different ways. Say a hammer will add a 1d3 bonus to the defense roll, a dagger adds 1d4 to the agility roll, and 1d3+1 to the attack roll if attacking from behind. These can be devised later and can be different for each game.
Accessories boost a players attributes in a number of ways, different mods can make up their own items. But i will list some examples:
-"Dragon tooth" boosts the experience gained from each battle by one.
-"Colossus husk" boosts toughness by two points.

Items can be obtained by a player using an action to loot a KO'd opponent, opening a treasure chest or taking from a weapon rack. Treasure chests would be scattered around the level for players to find. Players can drop items at any point in the game by using their action to do so. You can not loot  a KO'd player of his weapon but are able to, after killing him take any accessories he carries. The artifact involved in the win condition is treated as an accessory. The amount of items you can carry is determined by your strength, a dwarf who is only strong (1) may only carry his weapon before becoming immobilized. Thus if you plan on taking the artifact with a strength of one then you won't be going far.

Ranged combat - Magic and crossbows, work on it soon
Status - Immobilized, slowed, buffed etc.
Alliances - Forming teams etc.

PMing: No private messaging is allowed between townies, the only pming a non-mafia allied player will be doing is with me for their night actions, choices and any help they need. Mafia members are allowed to PM each other at night, but must include me with the rest of the group. No day pming is allowed to occur either.
Day length: The length of day is to be determined by hammer, if no hammer occurs within 3 real life days (72 hours give or take a couple of hours) then the game's day phase will end without a kill. The hammer is a unanimous vote for a player, it requires half of the alive population, +1  to hammer. The last person to vote that day is called the hammerer and will be the one affected if a super saint is the lynch victim. At the start of each day I will state how many votes are required to end the day. In the case of the hammerer placing the final vote when I am not here, conversation may still continue after the vote, but any following votes or change in votes won't be counted. I will keep a vote count and update a new one every time I come online along with info on how many more votes are required for a hammer to make sure that players know how important their vote is.
Font: Please use Orange for all votes to help me keep track.
Win conditions: Town wins when all scum are killed, includes serial killers and mafia. An sk will win when it is in the remaining two and there are no other killers. Mafia win when it has majority and there are no other killers. The sk, mafia and town wins are mutually exclusive. Survivor can win with town, mafia or sk as long as it is alive when the game is over.
Night actions: The night actions occur in this order of priority: Passive abilities (separated twin, godfather immunity etc) > Roleblock > Redirect > Psychiatrist > other abilities. This order will determine a situation like: Roleblocker blocking godfather who makes the kill will not be successful or a roleblocker and redirector target each other the redirector will be blocked. In the case of the psychiatrist targeting the sk and the sk killing the psyc, the psyc will have priority. Also, if a player is killed that night, the action they made will not go through.
The mafia must select a member to do the kill, this member will not be allowed to use other abilities when performing the kill.
Game start: I will send everyone playing a list of roles to choose from and what team they are on before the start of the game. The list will contain from 4 choices to one choice. Mafia members will not be informed of their team member(s) at this time. Once everyone has chosen from their list, the game will start with a night phase. Mafia members will then be told who they are teamed with. All actions must then be sent to me before day one can start.
