Making animations is fun.

I've got the set of staring weapons and all their animations set up.

Renen starts with a unique weapon, everyone else starts with standard stuff. I actually had to cobble together a sprite for hand lasers and laser rifles since none of the sprites I could find looked alright.

Mine look like crap but at least they're the crap I want!

Posts tomorrow. Just felt like working on this all day this weekend.

If there's dialogue with the npc's involved, or blurbs they say when certain things happen, you could have the players themselves provide the lines.

Oh, and you could make the game itself a collaborative thing and have other people help out. Dunno how much hassle that would be though, probably quite some.

I have the actors and the starting area made and thats about it so we're not even close to that sort of thing yet.

Regardless, I may ask people (The ones still around) for their input occasionally.

Lars looks like your stereotypical monk, ideally with his green robe with the gold trim.

And robot legs now, I guess.



Also, characters stuck floating in biogel; do they get any contributions to modesty when they have company?  Given the universe, I'm guessing no, but it's an interesting question.

I thought that part of your body was missing, hence why I think I made no mention of it.

And isn't your entire body being regrown, including legs?

I thought Lars was just getting the standard "Your lower half was blown off, want to robot just that or everything" choice, and robotting what was just lost.  He's cool with the 50/50 split.

How do new players join missions and games?

[NJW2000]

Missions: volunteer, there's on onship kerfuffle.

Games: tinker you just go into VR and open it on ship then post in tinker, Fangames and stuff (though Dead Man Running is the only example like this) you just post a sheet according to the OP, not sure how you join Hephaestus.

Or if you mean Einsteinian Roulette itself, try here.

Also, as I'm running DMR but the ER wiki crashes my CPU, wiki people, could I give one of you, say, the betting, rule changes, etc, in a PM or something, or whatever you'd like for the wiki? As I just don't really think I'd be able to edit it myself for long enough.

[Parisbre56]

Write it in the thread or over here or send it in a PM. I'll make a new page for you.

[NJW2000]

Ok, thanks, I'll try and get this done sometime reasonably soon.

E: I'll make it fairly short, in order to not cause undue fuss; there will be few major departures from the original anyway.

Dead Man Running Season II, is, like the original Dead Man Running, an RTD set in between present day and the start of ER itself, one year after the season of Dead Man Running run by Piecewise. It is, at the present, an active RTD, however. Like the first DMR, the aim is to obtain 50 points as a competitor, thus winning the game, while the audience is able to affect the spectators using their Deadman Dollars in varying manners. Unlike the original DMR, there are six contestants only, and it is currently run by the bay12 forums user NJW2000. Also, the betting system has been changed somewhat, made simpler with fewer options.

The rules, item list, and miscellanous other features can be found on the original Dead Man Running page.

Betting changes: the bets have been limited to the following wagers.

 Winning team: bet on which team wins the team challenge: 1.5x payoff. Must be placed before challenge is revealed.
 Winner of head-to-head: Bet on which team wins the head-to-head or individual challenge: 1.5x payoff. Must be placed before head-to-head challenge is revealed.
 Deadman bet: bet that a contestant will die, placed at the start of the episode. 4.5x payoff.

I've never contributed to a wiki before, so am unsure what else is needed for this, or whether linking to another page for most of the unformation is a legitimate approach, but how would this do for a start?

RIP, Maurice, died and probably took everyone with him.

What's the mechanical muse anyway?

[Nikitian]

What's the mechanical muse anyway?

Mechanical Muse: A generator intended to break writers block by giving you several evocative bits of text without context. Works for me, it might work for you.

Basically, Piecewise's Random Generator of "faces in the clouds" for various uses. So far in ER it has been used for pseudo-"prophetic visions"-on-demand.
