Understandable, given my whole month of not updating.

I've gotta not do that again. Sheesh.

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

As it's Holiday Season, my work hours have increased.

I'm not sure when I'll have free time. Maybe tomorrow?

Honestly, I'd update every day if I had the energy. Just... after a long day, I can no longer care about stuff.

At least I'm getting time and a half on Turkey Day.

Idea in the pipeline/note to self:

Kai universe turn-based 4X strategy. Six players and six sides - Terran Alliance, League of Free Humanity, War Kai, Tech Kai, Merope, Synthetics.

Mechanics similar to Erfworld and GalCiv2; inspiration from Honorverse, Vorkosigan Saga, etc. Actions sent in by PM, with a summary of actions at the end of the "New turn" post. Players use the thread for diplomacy, info broadcast, and roleplaying as "agents" - Queens, Clutch Leaders, Admirals, etc: randomly popped units in addition to the "Leader" and "Commander" roles.

"Agents" give massive roll bonuses, but must have IC descriptions to use. Not just "Admiral Hubert is with Dreadnaught Squad 1" but actual content.

Dice based actions, d20, with ship and unit modifiers.

Edit:

Leaders and Agents. Leaders cost individually what a whole unit costs (or more!) but confer bonuses. Secretary of State, Admiral, Commander, etc. Agents are similar to Leaders, but different: they have special bonuses and are more specific. Spy, Nurse Drone, Engineering Modules, etc.

In a sense, Leaders are figures. Agents are individuals. If any of this makes sense.
