Action PM'ed.

(I believe our honorable GM forgot to update the charge on EnigmaticHat's Buff Banner.)

Regarding maps with Z-levels, I suspect that it would, in general, be very difficult to determine lines of fire in a map like that. Some kind of 3D or isometric visualizer might help, but I'm still not convinced that it would be worth the trouble. Multi-layered maps where the layers are only connected by elevators or manholes, allowing no firing between layers, seem like an attractive alternative to me. You get all the possibilities for larger, more complex maps, without any of the tedium of trying to use stacked 2D maps to estimate 3D trajectories.

[scapheap]

Move to E7

[TCM]

Dash to H11, Shoot EvilCherry.

What about pits?

[Mopsy]

If a player jumped into one, it would work like a very fast one-way elevator.

Run to K11, get murdered!

Fixed that mistake. As for determining lines of sight it'd likely just add +1 to the number of squares. I'd have to test that out though.


I'm going to PM Erils and Rolepgeek early this time around because... Well they're the two to hold us up last time.

[Erils]

Sorry I wasn't here for a while.

Move to I4 and switch to flaregun

what is the range on my flaregun? Sorry if I already asked this but I couldn't find the answer.

[evilcherry]

Sneaky.

[Mopsy]

what is the range on my flaregun? Sorry if I already asked this but I couldn't find the answer.

Complete weapon data is given in a Google doc, on the tab "Weapons and Specials". Basic rules (and a link to the Google doc) can be found in the first post in this topic. Your flaregun has max range 10, although its range-dependent accuracy matters a lot, too. Accuracy tables are on the tab "Weapon Accuracy".

As for determining lines of sight it'd likely just add +1 to the number of squares. I'd have to test that out though.

I was more concerned about cover than about distances. Using the line tool in mspaint won't cut it when there's a 3rd dimension. If you can come up with a set of rules for cover in 3D maps that is manageable for human brains and still makes any sense, then that's great.

[Nerjin]

Someone on BLU should post for Rolepgeek.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Build a Teleporter Entrance, right outside the spawn room. Or in it, if possible.

Tip: You cannot move diagonally past walls.
Tip: The GM will usually follow the intent, rather than the letter, of your turn.
Tip: For each full turn of controlling the point your team will gain +1 point.

Still no update to the rules, though it looks like that might be changing soon.

Glad to hear it!
