Swords and Potions 2 is a neat little timekiller I found a yesterday on Kongregate, though it probably has its own site as well. It's similarish to the original S&P, a simple-ish timekiller game that puts the player in the shoes of a shopkeeper in a typical RPG.
As customers start piling in, you must keep piling up materials, products, and furnishings to keep increasing your profits. It's a kind of time-management game, where you have to decide what the best things to have your crafters do. You can also suggest different items, ask customers to wait while you are finishing a craft, or switch between workers you've hired between days opening your shop. It seems like a pretty streamlined version of what I remember of the original, but really, the best way to figure it out is to try it.

Instead of guilds, people are organized into towns, and you get put in some town when you start. You can also (using the button next to the name of the town) move to another one, or start an entirely new town (We are in Bay12, ask for an invite here). It would be nice to (sorta) know some people in the town I'm in, whichever one it becomes.

Anyway, here's a link, and theres some (fullscreen) pictures below.

Spoiler: Pics (click to show/hide)

A town, with several building upgrading. Theres also an iron mine off the side of the picture. Buildings get upgraded from players in town pooling gold into the building until it reaches the current goal. The build button is important: it lets you expand your shop, rearrange it, add items, remove items, or upgrade things.


Selling a sword. Items have levels, adventurers gain exp (you get the other rewards) from quests. Any item less or equal to adventurer's level can be sold to them.


My current shop, after several expansions. Lots of wood and iron and herb storage, a bit of leather storage, and workplaces for my character, a blacksmith, a tailor, a druid, and a carpenter. The workbench next to the wood is being upgraded, but its still entirely usable if I was using my carpenter right now instead of those two.

I played it a bit two days ago: it's boring as hell.

[Poltifar]

Any plans for a Bay12 city?

Any plans for a Bay12 city?

If we actually have enough interest to do that. Otherwise we might a well just all jump into one city with whoever else is there.

[Poltifar]

How much does making a new city cost versus joining an existing one?

[Unusedname]

I would join if you guys started a city.

I remember wasting a lot of time in the first one.

How much does making a new city cost versus joining an existing one?

Don't know, I haven't tried. I'd rather stay in this town until we know, theres this one guy with a less expanded shop than I but at least double the contributions that has almost single-handedly funded at least half of all the resource buildings by himself.

Created a "Bay12" city, all are welcome

[Aklyon]

Is it literally just called Bay12?

[SharpKris]

yup

i can invite you if you tell me your ingame name

[Aklyon]

Looking it up, apparently you need to invite people to player-created cities, Kris. Feel free to invite Aklyon.

[Boksi]

I've been playing this game a bit. Name's the same on Kongregate, go ahead and invite me too.
