Spoiler: Random Toriko forum game idea (click to show/hide)

I was thinking about a Toriko forum game, and I started thinking of how to perform the rolls at higher levels, and struck on the idea of having levels dictate what kind of number level someone would be rolling at, like at food level 1, it's just a D10, while at 10 it would be a D20 and 20 being something like D50, of course the numbers would just be generated by using the inter generator at random.org.

But then the topic of calculating deliciousness came up, I know that the higher level you are, the better the deliciousness of one dish must be and not just a straight 0/100 setup, because a straight XP setup would encourage grinding a bit much, but how would you calculate deliciousness once you start cooking ingredients together? Would it be a straight multiplication of a dish? Like adding Rainbow fish (Deliciousness 10) with Simple Soy (Additive: D=5) Be like dividing the additive to a point but adding one then multiplying it with the other food(s) (E.G. Simple Soy=1.5*10=15), but then how would straight food+food work? Just add together the ingredients DL (Deliciousness level)?

Adding too many ingredients should have a penalty as well, that's for sure, and perhaps all ingredients should have a type of taste like savoury or sweet for bonuses when certain ingredients go together, but I wonder if cooking should take a roll(s) where something like 10 is fine but 50 is perfect, while levelling up only gives you a better chance of getting to 50 (E.G. Roll 100, it's only counted up to 50.), but would you put cooking to a skill? Or maybe just something that you put points into, though the cooking skill could just be a plain XP thing, which I think would be fine.

Special Preperation Ingredients would be far too annoying to properly make fun to prepare though, as it would just be a guessing game plus any bad roll would mess everything up, but I guess they would be okay if they required certain skills and a certain level of cooking, taking far better rolls than 50, perhaps properly cooked SP ingredients impart special traits?

What about 'food luck'? Perhaps people could just use artistic license to carefully omit that part, because that would obviously be something very important, so it would require a ton of points, but boring to have.
Perhaps the characters could just automatically start off with food luck?

For creatures, I suppose a random creature generator would do, but would you roll for luck to see if they encounter something dangerous/Not tasty (roll:5/100 on a luck roll='You encounter a Doom Poison Death Bad Tasting Meat Wolf!') or just go with whatever comes up on the generator so you wouldn't encounter a series of bad rolls.

Of course, what would you do if your arms got blown off by a bad go on a Nitro Cherry or something? Perhaps you would get a choice of continuing to play with one arm, or you could just have offscreen Magic Reparo Stuff!^TM.

Of course, the skills would be pretty easy:
Will:
Strength:
Agility:
Endurance:(Could probably increase how many calories you could hold)
Gourmet Level:
Cooking skill:(both of these would just increase your cooking/Gourmet level by one for each point.)
Charisma would probably just be roleplaying based, so it wouldn't need that.

Any good ideas there?

It looks fun!

... What's a Toriko?

[Squeegy]

Fair enough.

I mean, you're welcome to make one. I can't stop you. But any resulting shitstorms are entirely on your hands.

Off topic, but nice avatar, Squeegy.

Thank you. On topic: Any opinions on the games I run/have run?

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

It looks fun!

... What's a Toriko?

It's an Anime/Manga thing, so far we have the main character turning into a blue ONI and fighting something who's footsteps cause entire lands to become desolate thousands of years later and who's donkey kick creates a shock wave that could have destroyed a small planet.

You really have to watch it from the beginning.

[kj1225]

And it somehow relates to food?

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

And it somehow relates to food?

YES.
The world in that thing is in what is called the 'gourmet age', the entire main purpose of out main character is to get the legendary food 'GOD', which stopped a war because of how delicious it was, there are hundreds of weird creatures including one called a "Coffever", the characters get stronger from eating good food, there has never been an episode that haven't revolved around food, CASINOS ACCEPT FOOD AS GAMBLING MONEY, and the chips in said casinos come from a fish, whose scales look just like coins but are high grade chocolate.
So yes, it relates to food.

Does anyone remember that "Fighting Foodons" show or whatever it was called?

Do you think it'd be possible to have a team based competitive game where each player is part of one or two teams. Every player gets a certain amount of money to spend. Each player on the team PMs the mod about their list of ingredients. They aren't told what the ingredient does specifically but they are given a brief description such as:

Code: [Select]

Jumbled Rice: This rice has a mix of flavors that, while slight, can add great texture to any food

or something to that affect. Then the players each add two ingredients to their Dish along with the other players on their team.

Each ingredient adds some form of ability or increases attributes [Damage, Health, Resistance, Range, etc.] and then the battle starts. The players may or may not get involved here. I'm still not sure how to do that.

Then the next round starts. Along the way the teams are supposed to find out what each ingredient does and stuff.

Any thoughts on how to make such a thing work?

[Squeegy]

You guys just need to play Harvest Moon, damn.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

So there can be three players, put over the course of a year, the first takes a few months (as many as the team is fine with) to grow the food or plants, while optional, this can give the players massive advantages in the producing of money (you could sell it) or ingredients.

As well as this, the first player can be given any amount of money deemed reasonable by the team to buy better equipment (for better produce, faster growth, less chance of screwing up etc. etc) or seeds for plants, or even animals, it would be assumed that during other turns, the plants and animals would give food at a steady rate, as well as that, perhaps there could be a few months set aside for an 'adventurer' class, who finds better ingredients and upgrades the strength of plants and animals, or perhaps those two classes could be separated.

Finally, after the year has been completed, the final team member, the 'fighter', will come into play, perhaps the fight could take place over about a week? Anyway, the food prepared (Perhaps a 'chef' class would be good.) Will give buffs depending on the types of food used, and how good the ingredients were.

I am going to continue on thinking about this.

Ok so have an idea for an team RPG, the idea is that player are basicy time police, that travel in time keeping history on the path right
 and so on.
But the thing is i'm having problems balancing the setting, you see the idea is that the PCs have been "lifted" from across time.
Im toying with the idea of Time Shock, basicy our PC may not be able to cope with some things outside of there time period, with worse out comes depending on how you encounter it.

A normal car or a plane up high is unlikely to scare any one, a tank charging to attack or a dive bomber that's scary.
Of course people from the year 9001 are scared of simpler things, like fires, wild animals and things they haven seen before.
Now if i just give out Time Shock tolerance based on era, then the ranks will be filled with people from a post apocalyptic future.

Now i'm toying with future characters haveing bonics as perks, but then what do characters from the past get? i'm not a fan of the superhuman cavemen/vikings/knights theory

[Squeegy]

I'm wondering if it would be apropos to ask people in the politics threads in GD if they're interested in the UA.

[Nerjin]

I don't suppose anyone plans to run another 3.5 DnD game soon?

I have a Dragon Shaman I'd like to try out.

[Tawa]

Sorry, no dice.

Although I am considering shelving a game and updating it in tandem with a d20 Modern Matrix-themed (yes, that Matrix) campaign.

Spoiler: No Wait Listen I Have Stuff (click to show/hide)

What would happen is that I'd pick a random game, probably either Twin'kaali or OotSW, then every time the players gain a level in it, I put it on hold until the players in the d20 Modern game gain a level, then the other one comes off the shelf and we play that.

[Nerjin]

Speaking of The Silver Wolf... Any plans to update that? We're kinda stumped on what to do.

[Tawa]

You were saying?
