I'm most interested in what the Wilds will be.

And what happens on, say, a 2 with no Extensions.

With no extensions whatsoever? A 2 wouldn't do anything special.

The whole reason I made the 3's Wild is because it was the only number after the extensions that was still totally meaningless.

I've been thinking about a new fighting system where the turn lengths are shortened by an extreme amount, like the equivalent of only a single second, so swinging a sword would probably take two turns to complete, so it would involve a lot of moving around the battle, dodging would probably be an active thing rather than a passive one, and it would require a lot of thinking into the other player's next move.

I'm not very good at explaining, though, it sounds lame when I just put it in words.
I may try a really short bout with two people to show what I mean, if I get the time for it.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

It would work better if done by PMs than by posts.
And, for the record, GURPS has one-second turns that whole attacks are done in.

Yeah, that would be the only way it could work.

You too called it first.
So here you go!


Kj1225 is the man in the pink top hat, and flabort gets blue!
Send PMs for actions, you can move two spaces when not attacking, one space when readying a swing, and you have to stand still to swing.
THERE ARE NO PASSIVE DODGES. You must actually have your character dodge to avoid getting hit.

Watch your Vitality in red, and your stamina in yellow! Certain actions require stamina, such as chaining attacks together, and you don't want to run out at a bad time!

FIGHT!

Hop into the battlefield and set up a hammock between the health bars. Make popcorn.

Darnit. I was thinking I had a few more days before certain events came up (I have a horrible sense of time), and that I'd be able to bring my laptop. Well, I'm gonna be gone for a week and a half (thereabouts), so give control of my demo char to Xantalos if he still wants it, or to GWG.

They charge towards each other!



Xantalos, if you want to send PMs in flabort's absence, go ahead. Now's your chance.

Mastah Cheese is the worst GM ever! Never giving the players random people still watching this thread for some reason the things they want... No, what they need.
It's a good thing I'm here... Please don't hit me. D:

They both have identical thoughts, and both step forward with swords at the ready!



What? I totally didn't steal that from SomeStupidGuy... You're crazy.
By the way, that looks awesome
