Necromancy;
noun
1.
a method of divination through alleged communication with the dead; black art.
2.
magic in general, especially that practiced by a witch or sorcerer; sorcery; witchcraft; conjuration.
...
If i ever give someone the means to become a necromancer they will get an oracle ability that requires them to exhume corpses.

to me this is a malapropism.

Why must I have so many ideas for games?

This one...well, I can't think of how the specific numberlogical mechanics work, but the general idea is appealing. Think Street-Fighter-esque sidescroller brawling meets Pokémon. Players are either capable of containing or channeling monsters in/through their body. Each body part (arms, legs, torso, and head, for a total of 6) has a slot for a monster to fit into, each monster having stats/types and adding stats/abilities to the attached part and moves involving it, possibly adding new fighting techniques based on the overall arrangement of monsters.

The main point is, when an attack hits part of the enemy's body, not only is damage taken by the defending fighter, the monsters in the attacking body parts fight the monsters of the defending body parts, dealing damage to each other. If a monster is KO'd, it doesn't give any benefits to the body part (including special techniques), so hitting a monsterless part deals more damage, and KO'ing a monster can turn a fight around. Add in type advantages/disadvantages and a few status ailments, and you have quite a unique brawler.

I'm unsure about moving monsters between body parts mid-combat, though I'm thinking certain monster abilities could allow it, sometimes only if the moved-to part lacks a (living) monster. There's also the matter of how all the stats work. For now, though, all I want to know is; what do you think? Are there any big problems with the concept? Is it too complicated? What might work well as the stat system?

[Person]

That sort of reminds me of a Webcomic I read for awhile once. Was called monster pulse. Don't remember much though. I do like the idea though.

Maybe do a sort of changeling thing? Symbiotic creatures? Aliens perhaps?

Also parasyte, though be warned that that's probably NSFW.

[OceanSoul]

How about...parallel monster world, where due to lack of resources, tried to find resource in our world, but, as they don't have any physical form in our world, need to inhabit physical a physical object. There  would likely only be one unique, special, magical resource that was sent into our world by some big event. Maybe, instead, great evils of the Monster world were once sealed in our world, since ours lacks the magic that gives them power, but evil forces entered our world seeking to revive them, throwing off the worlds' balance or some such.

I'd personally prefer the magic-from-parallel-dimention approach, since a) the magic can explain all of the elemental types, weaknesses, and resistances, and b) our source would be mundane/magicless, giving us a need to work with monsters.

[Greatness942]

Thinking of a replacement for my close to-flatlining "Chaos Chronicles" game. So, I want to pitch this:

It would be a Picture Wars game, just like the one Snow Dwarf is doing, except themed around races and factions from Mass Effect. Thus, it would be futuristic themed, with Biotics, Omni-Tools, and such. Players can draw and drive vehicles from the series. I think it would be cool to try.

[_DivideByZero_]

Taking an antennas course has led to me wanting to apply actual mathematics to wizard staff design...

I mean, look at these:

Spoiler: Snip (click to show/hide)

You could put a design like that on top of a staff and tell people it helps channel magical energy better, and they'll totally believe you.

Speaking of which, here's some worldbuilding for the concept of an antenna staff.


Magic, like many forms of energy, is a wave, and only tends to affect things when the magical wave resonates with an object. So a spell directed at, say, a rock won't have an effect on the surrounding dirt, and likewise a spell directed against armor won't have any effect on the person wearing it.

The earth hosts a (relatively) low frequency earthwave, which is relatively high in amplitude, but very few things resonate with the earthwave, and so it doesn't have much of a macroscopic effect. However, since the sources of the earthwave move around beneath the surface of the world, there exist nodes and antinodes as part of a huge interference pattern, and at the antinodes the amplitude can get high enough to slightly resonate with the earth, causing weather and other macroscopic effects.

Most magic uses the earthwave as an energy source. However, since the earthwave doesn't resonate with most useful objects, a magician uses a staff fashioned similarly to an RF mixer to multiply the earthwave with a higher frequency to get it within the resonant range of an object. To do this, a magician needs to feed in a magical wave at a higher frequency, generated by some kind of magic crystal. So generally, different types of staff will manipulate different elements, though with some finagling a magician could build a staff that controls different elements, by finding the right crystals and setting up a way of filtering all the outputs.

By using technobabble based on real life, I can eliminate the archetype of a wizard as a "wizened old man who likes to read books for vague reasons" and have them resemble actual engineers with slide rules that constantly try to tweak and optimize the system.

[AoshimaMichio]

So... magitek? Sounds nice.

[_DivideByZero_]

Yeah, I had an idea for a gun-style staff that has an extension cord with spikes attached to a weight. The user would throw it into the ground to power the gun, but the downside is that you can't shoot while moving.

[OceanSoul]

Divide, have you considered multi-headed frequency-based staves? Each head would be different, thus they would be tuning in to/effecting different types of objects at once. All manipulated objects would have to relate to each of the heads, so they are stronger than staves with less heads at the cost of manipulating less objects in less ways. A staff with heads tuned to Crystal and Dog could manipulate crystal dogs, though they could make dogs from crystals and turn dogs to crystal, as well as control, strengthen, heal, etc. better than just a dog or just a crystal staff could. There's also the idea of multiple mages using their staves on something they all work on for exceptional effect.

How are the effects determined, anyway? Does it have to do with a different set of frequentlcies? Maybe light? But light is a frequency....are the frequencies of any objects visible light? Is it possible for a voice to resonate with something? Maybe that has to do with some deity? Can frequencies be utilized with just a staff, no mage?

Spoiler: Rant on potential new game, spoiler'd for convenience. (click to show/hide)

Anyway, I'm getting my own staff-based idea: Mix-and-Match Staffs. Each staff has a head/focus that, well, focuses the magic, a slot that holds the focus, and the long body. Each part has its own spell that can be cast with a staff that contains it, as well as a spell for combinations of 2-3 parts that can be learned. Staffs can be taken apart and their parts rearranged, creating staffs with different potential sets of spells. Though there are "right" combinations of parts, those being parts that share the same Set (only one of each type of part per set), and they learn their spells sooner that "incorrect" combinations, but they are just as strong as other combinations, and they may be rather limited in their spell effects. Thus, it is best for a player to find a combination of parts suited to the preferences/style.

Why limit this to staves, anyway? It could work for swords (blade, center/guard, handle), shields (handle, base, front), and other things, though it may be better for the skills for some pieces/combinations of pieces to be passive, rather than active. Armor would be upper body, lower body, and head, and maybe monsters could be parts, too;upper body, lower body, head, and class, occasionally with a boss/miniboss that is separated into more parts, like arms, legs, element, etc.! I may be going too far with this though. Was the original premise modular enough? That's the term, right?

[_DivideByZero_]

It'd be a two-step modulation process. The first step is to modulate the earthwave into a frequency resonant with the targeted object, and the second step is to modulate a lower frequency envelope in that higher frequency signal.

Somewhat like AM radio.

Sure you could attach multiple heads to one staff, though the engineering would be complicated because it affects the characteristic impedance of the junction. You'd have to design a magical matching circuit.

A simple hex-based game I shall proudly call... TACTICIANS!

Spoiler: Example rules (click to show/hide)

TURN ORDER:

Turn Order is determined by coin flip at start of the fight.
Each Turn is comprised of 2 turns; RED Turn and BLUE Turn.

When a Side begins their new Turn, they order Units around to move or attack.
They can use all Units in one big post, or they can move a few per post and see the results.
Only after the Side's owner posts 'End of Turn', their Turn ends and the other Side's Turn begins.

COMBAT:

Units can attack adjacent units. Bowmen and Horse Archers can fight at range 2.
Units who are attacked by Bowmen and Horse Archers cannot deal damage on successful 'counter-roll'.
Except Bowmen and Horse Archers, of course.

Once a Combat occurs, both units involved roll a 1d6. The attacking unit gains +2 to their roll.
The unit that rolls higher than other wins the fight and deals damage to the loser.
In case both roll the same number, their fight ends in draw and no damage is dealt.

TERRAIN:

Flat: Light Green hex.
Forest: Dark green hex. +1 to combat rolls for Infantry. Takes all MOVE to enter.
Hills: Orange hex. +1 to combat rolls for all units. Takes all MOVE to enter.
River: Blue hex. Takes all MOVE to enter.

START OF BATTLE:

Before the battle, each side places down Camp. It must have all 6 hexes around it available for recruitment.
Therefore, Camp cannot be placed at the border of the map. RED Side can put Camp in columns B-D; BLUE Side in columns J-L.
Each Side starts with 50 Supply Points they spend on units.
These Units then can be placed anywhere in 3 tile range of the Camp.

SUPPLY POINTS:

Each Side gains 30 Supply Points at start of their turn, and new Units can be bought with these.
However, each Turn after the amount of SP gained per Turn is lowered by 1, to the minimum of +5 per Turn.
Any unspent Supply Points are saved for the next Turn.

UNITS:

Swordsman: Basic mook with a sword and shield. 3 HP, 2 DMG, 2 MOVE.
Spearman: Anti-horse mook. 3 HP, 2 DMG, 2 MOVE. Skill: Anti-Horse.
Archer: Guy with bow. 3 HP, 2 DMG, 2 MOVE. Skill: Ranged.
Cavalryman: Basic horseman with spear. 4 HP, 2 DMG, 4 MOVE. Skill: Trample.
Horse Archer: Archer on a horse, duh. 4 HP, 2 DMG, 4 MOVE. Skill: Ranged.
Officer: Guy who barks orders. 4 HP, 1 DMG, 2 MOVE. Skill: Leadership.
Surgeon: Field medic. 4 HP, 1 DMG, 2 MOVE. Skill: Surgery.
Camp: Headquarters! 15 HP, 1 DMG, no MOVE. Skill: Leadership and Surgery.

Skills:
Anti-Horse: Negates mounted bonus vs foot.
Ranged: Can perform combat at range 2.
Trample: +1 DMG vs foot.
Leadership: Adjacent allied units get +1 to combat rolls.
Surgery: Adjacent allied units recover 1 HP on new Turn.

PURCHASE:

Camps can purchase units at begining of a new Turn (6 hexes = 6 units)

Swordsman: 3 SP
Spearman: 4 SP
Bowman: 4 SP
Cavalryman: 6 SP
Horse Archer: 8 SP
Officer: 8 SP
Surgeon: 8 SP

VICTORY:

When one Side destroys all enemy Units or destroys enemy Camp, they win the battle!

//POINTS OF STRATEGIC INTEREST?

Flat but small bonus to SP per Turn?
Extra Victory condition for holding X of these?

I think income should be probably be determined on a map by map basis. You could make 26 swordsmen in the first two turns at the suggested rates. That's a lot of stuff to potentially manage.

[Haspen]

Hmmm, you're right :vc

Then again I don't want to make it a '6 vs 6 battle and first to die means the player is screwed', ya know what am sayin .<'?

[flabort]

Ssssooooo.... I've been gone a while... I guess... and I'm back, mostly, not quite the same person but mostly the same. Older?
And I have had a game idea.

Mechanical Core of the game
You have four "limbs", which can perform actions simutaneously. Right-Arm, Left-Arm, Stance, and Spellwork. The actions which can be performed by these limbs all share the following traits:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Limb(s) used: Obviously.

Effect: The effect that takes place during Action Time, such as dealing damage, countering a move, shifting your counter table, changing armements, dodging an attack, etc.

Thinking Time: The time you must mentally prepare yourself for a move. Can happen simutaneously with other parts of the move.

Armor Delay Time: Time to return to a natural position from your last move, or to shift wheight to prepare for this move, etc. Often entirely contained within Thinking time, but not always; writen as "X + Y%", because the time this takes is affected by armor. The X is a set ammount, and Y is a percentage of a delay value added by wearing heavy armor.

Tell Time: Time where you start your move, and telegraph the move to your opponent what you are doing. If your opponent is able to react during this time, this is the best time for them to try a counter move. Often partially contained within Thinking time, but sometimes thinking time is already done and rarely entirely contained within thinking time. Like Armor Delay Time, writen as "X + Y%", and like above is calculated the same.

Action Time: How long your move is effective for; for counters and blocks, this could be long, and for strikes this will likely be short. If an attack is interupted before this time, it is stopped, but if it is stopped during this time it is partially effective. Every 20% of the action time stopped is half of any damage stopped; EG 81%-100% is full damage, 61%-80% is half damage, 40%-60% is 1/4 damage, etc. and half of any remaining action time is converted into Recoil time.

Recoil time: How long your limb is unavailible if your move is countered; typically has half the remaining action added to this time as well. As with Armor Delay Time and Tell Time, writen as "X + Y%".

Finish time: If your move is not countered, how long until you can use that limb again.

Further more, many moves (not all) have the following:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Attack Table: For attacks, it's a 5x5 grid, indicating where an attack is aimed. Vertically, it aims High, mid-high, mid, mid-low, and low, and horizontally it aims wide-opposite (at their same limb, eg when using your right hand you aim at their right hand), close-opposite, center, close-near, and wide-near. Attacks like thrusts or jabs will typically be close or center, while slashes will be aimed at wide points.

Counter Table: For counters/blocks, its a 5x10 grid, divided into opposite-handed and same-handed halves for the direction an incoming attack is coming from. Has two colors filled in: full-counters and partial counters. A full counter is a perfect block or counter of the opponent's attack, and usually allows a riposte afterwards with no thinking or idle time (declared before the counter is processed because it's actually part of the counter-move's time), while a partial counter still blocks the move but is clumsier and does not give you the time for an attack of your own immediately afterwards. Alternatively for a perfect counter, you could disarm your opponent and send their weapon flying, depending on the action used. To determine if an attack was countered, if the attack has a square on the targeting table filled in that is covered by a full counter, it is fully countered, if not check for partial counters the same way.

(Note: Stances, like a low crouch, may affect your counter or attack tables by moving all results up, down, left, or right a slot temporarily; anything that falls outside the grid is assumed to hit the ground or the empty air)

Distance: How close your enemy needs to be to hit them, or how far you move when you dodge an attack or approach them.

Rules/FAQ

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

When can you use an action? When the thinking time on an action is up, you may decide your next action; since the action that just finished the thinking time is probably still in progress, that means you can't use an action requiring that limb, but you may use another limb for another action.

So, what actions can you use? Typically that depends on your armement (Stance is usually determined by armor/clothing/lack of anything, what your limbs can do is affected by what they are holding, and spellwork may require you to have a spellbook, stave, or will be innate but very limited), so choose your equipment well. Some actions may require more than one limb; read carefully. If a limb required for a multi-limb action is in use, you cannot use that action, just like single-limb actions.

So this involves no dice rolling? At all? Not entirely true. Spellwork may require dice, depending on the spell. But this will be listed in the spell's effect if required. Also, for calculating your fame reward/loss at the end of a match dice may be used. As a general rule, usually there will be no dice.

How is damaged tracked? Damage is abstracted into hitpoints in three sections: High, Mid, and Low. Strikes in the high or high-mid ranges damage deal damage to your high-zone hit points, mid-high, mid, and mid-low deal damage to your mid hit point pool, and mid-low and low strikes deal damage to your low zones. The armor you are wearing determines how many hit points you start with, but on average (medium-weight/durability armor) you will have 100 high and low hit points and 150 mid hit points (350 total). If any of these three values reach 0, you become disabled and can no longer fight; you live, though, unless your opponent finishes you off, and can fight in another match. If two or all three reach 0, you become dead, can no longer fight, and must make a new character.

What do I earn for winning a match? Money and fame. Fame is used for ranking. If you lose (but survive), then your fame drops (by 10-50 depending - more for someone with less fame, and cannot drop below 0), and if you win, your fame increases (by 25-100, more for someone with more fame). You will typically be paired against someone with a similar amount of fame - not nessesarily, though, sometimes you or an opponent may request a match, or nobody with similar fame will be avalible and your fame disparity will be larger. As for money, victory in the 0-200 fame range earns 20 gold pieces, victory in the 201-500 range earns 50 gold pieces, victory in the 501-1000 fame range earns 100 gold pieces, and higher ammounts of fame earn you 150 gold pieces.  If you have 500 or more fame when you lose, you also earn a consolation prize of 20 gold pieces.

What can I do with money? Well, buy more equipment so you can start matches with other or better gear, upgrade your existing equipment, buy training equipment so that you can do more damage, attack quicker (or convert Tell Time to Armor Delay time), or have more HP; and finally, with 2500 gold pieces, you can purchase your freedom, winning the game. You may choose to continue to fight whenever you want once you've earned your freedom, but no-one is permited to kill you. The punishment for slaying a free man is death.

Why would I want to kill someone? Additional fame and fortune; the crowd loves to see blood, and watching you finish someone off makes them go wild. They may throw money into the ring, which you may keep, and it gives you bonus fame - usually between 10 and 20 extra fame.

Why would I want to spare someone? Reputation. Like fame and fortune, this is earned or lost based on the match outcome. Some actions may also gain or lose you reputation. This is like a high-score - you may have won tetris by clearing 100 lines, but if your score doesn't beat any of the top 5 your name is not immortilized in the arcade machine. Killing an opponent loses you a lot of reputation, and freed gladiators are ranked by their reputation when they bought their freedom (reputation stops being counted after that); nobody wants to hire someone who killed men for pleasure. Reputation starts at 0, and can go both negative and positive. While each win earns you reputation and each loss loses some, the main effect on reputation is mercy or death. Furthermore, whether someone remembers you fondly when you died may also be affected by your reputation: You may wind up in the Gladiator's Memorial if you died in battle with outstanding reputation, but most fallen warriors will wind up in unmarked graves.

Do numbers round up or down? Well, since this game does deal in percents, this is an important issue. If a number is left as a partial number, it actually rounds to a decimal place, a single decimal place, rounding down whereever nessesary. EG 15% of 17 is 2.89, which rounds to 2.8, regardless of what they taught you in math.

2 on 2? FFA? Maybe later. It would involve trigonometry instead of just 1 dimension math on the GM's part, and he's not excited about that, but if it happens, when an action is taken, choose an opponent to perform this action at (or if dodging away, to move away from), similar to how the Tales of Symphonia battle system works. Character positions would still be recorded relative to eachother, rather than setting up a grid, and I'd record the angles they are at reletive to the others.

Why do the actions listed in armors have % times? While Armor is the primary source of delay for these times, some equipment that you carry adds time to the Armor Delay; you aren't Link who's Iron Boots weigh nothing when you aren't wearing them, they weigh something while in your backpack or hanging off your belt, too.
