I personally like the second option better, but maybe that's because I'm a player.

[Caellath]

Sigh. I didn't join this because I thought I'd have to apply with a new char every single time my previous one died. Does this also mean the Industrial Japan RtD is dead?

Edit: And I think you should reset them back to 100, doesn't that make death harsher?

And you could have a cloning explanation ready for the ressurrecting characters.

[Noodlerex]

I'd prefer dying personally, it just seems like it makes more sense than, oh I got shot in the head, I'll just go back twenty ranks.

Yeah, Industrial Japan died. Not enough people came back to it to make me want to continue.

The thing about the 100-Reset, is that it would make this game go on for a really long time. Which could be a good or bad thing.

That's a pity, I liked it. And if you want a quick game, perma-death and 100-rank reset really won't cut it, perma-death even less.

Gender:Male
Age:56
Appearance:Old, but still quite fit. Obviously of warrior descent. Wears a wise, dignified expression
Biography: Takahisa grew up the son of a warrior, where he learned both fighting and culture. He excelled in swordsmanship, but when he accidentally killed one of his enemies, he became a wandering swordsman. During this time, he tutored many young fighters, many of which went on to become more famous than he ever was. Eventually, he aged, and settled down on a secluded island, where the fighters came to him rather than the other way around. In fact, the only reason he became one of the most feared duelists is because one of them decided to test his strength by attacking him at his home. Takahisa soundly beat the young man, and sent him back to THE SHADOW REALM training.

Everyone only gets 1 starting weapon. The only way to get more is to take them from fallen enemies.

Besides that, it's good. I'll put you on the Waitlist.

I vote for permanent death.

A problem I have is I don't see any incentive to research an opponent if everyone gets the information.  You almost always would benefit from training or challenging in that time period.

[barbequedcinders]

You know what, after some consideration, the 100-reset is probably the best option. Considering combat may start immediately, it would kinda suck if someone was just out of the game within the first few turns.

I've considered that. It adds to the brutality and gambling you must make. Every turn you ask yourself, "Is it worth it to research this Duelist and let everyone know, or go in blind and hope I win?" Also, low research rolls won't reveal much. Like on a really low roll, you might learn their name, and that's it.


Also, I'd like to address character death:

When your character is assassinated they are gone forever. However, if you want to make a character that's exactly the same except with a few minor changes, that's perfectly fine. (If you're playing a black-haired guy named Joe and he dies, I don't care if you make an identical chargers named Koe with brown hair.)

[Noodlerex]

YES! multiple Clint Eastwood rip-offs!... uh I mean my guy was totally original.

[IronyOwl]

What about cyborg resurrections or black magic gone wrong?

[TCM]

That would be fine also.

[Tiruin]

Permanent death.

Except for Dwarmin. 


So...turn? 

Edit: Ninjas...

[IronyOwl]

Aw yeah. Each incarnation might be less sane and balanced than the last!
