I always assumed that this game will be somewhat of a meta comedy about the board and RPGs in general.

[GreatWyrmGold]

As a separate, tri-ninja'd idea...

Maybe the ghost of the warlord is a recurring mini-boss who also shows up in various sidequests instead of being the bonus boss, a d instead of the previously mentioned end...

Once Tim is defeated, the dwarves offer you entrance to the Upper Realms, where you attain fame through a series of related quests. The central settlement, a dwarven fortress combining the best and the maddest of the community, is a sort of a hub for this activity; every quest you finish ends with you bringing a trophy to the dwarven king. These trophies include magical items and an Adamantine Pick. The magical items let the dwarves explore deeper, safer.

If you need to collect trophies based off of Dwarf Fortress, they should be things like a certain number of elf ears, the bones of an air-drowned mermaid, the last tears of a dwarven child for battle through a life of cruelty, an artifact rope reed amulet encrusted with shells and covered in the blood of its creator, and something with a picture of a dwarf surrounded by cats and/or eating cheese.

Or Planepacked, or Ásax's spear.
There should be at least 15-20 "magical" items which advance the "expand underground" counter, and several others. In my opinion, of course.

Are we talking about Armok the god of blood, or Armok the forum member?

Maybe both, with the forum member being the decoy Armok.

If they are separate, then how would we differentiate them? Well... I guess godhood would be a good indicator. Maybe they're one and the same, but Armok has to ascend first or something?

Maybe Forum!Armok is a scary but easily-defeatable-by-the-time-you-reach-him NPC? Maybe Armok's Ale would be a sidequest...

Why not? I was designing the plot with that in mind, but with enough room to make it more serious.

We are still doing that friendship thing right?

'cause I had a thing planned for it (My side at least) that's probably kinda terrible.

I hope so. I had an idea based around finding and installing the mystical love program for whatever reason.

I was thinking that you could meet Forum!Armok, and due to the name, people would attribute all that they heard about BloodGod!Armok to him, making him seem too powerful to fight.  Then when you meet BloodGod!Armok, you find out the rumors were about BloodGod!Armok instead of Forum!Armok.

(With the romance option at the end? YOu can only have one, however, and it effects the rest of the game in small to mediumish ways depending on who and if none at all.)

Is this directed towards me? It's a bit hard to tell by the context.

[Neonivek]

The ultimate store is for "Best friends only"

Yeah, this. The adjective I'd use to describe Forum!Armok is less scary and more weird in his own special Armok-y way. Anyway, if we do want to include him, I suggest we get his consent/input by PMing him and alerting him to this thread.

It's to the thread in general.

Upshot is I want there to be a long term plot relevant persona 4 style dating sim at some point with the option of 'none of the above'.

*beat*

Again, we should have a female protagonist only.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Sure.

Can you attach skills to gear?

[Neonivek]

Sure.

Can you attach skills to gear?

It is tricky but yes.

The harder part is to attach losing a skill to gear.

[Sirus]

What about changing classes with armor? I have an idea for a space-themed RPG where the "armors" are actually different classes of ships.

[Reudh]

Space flea Armok it is!

I had an idea. How about, various travelling merchants you buy things off can be revealed at the end to be selling items to you to fund the Big Bad's war effort against you.

So effectively you fund your own demise. If you die that is.

(ninja x21)

[Neonivek]

So people don't feel cheated Reudh how about after you buy all the war equipment beat the fake final boss and Space Flea Armok appears...

Everyone decides they don't need the war funds (since they just became useless) and sells them to give you a new item.

If you bought every war-item the reward is the Infinite+1 Armor.

Or it is ENTIRELY pointless to Parody another RPG...

You should be able to see those items and if you buy them all the attack base should just be rediculous.
