I occurs to me that giving us more control would triple the derail chances. Are you okay with that? Also, will the community tread be a RPG or a suggestion game?

Why do I get the feeling "Community Monsters" will tag team on any stray adventurers and turn this into desperate game of survival for them? Or maybe I'm just hoping...

Then you get cities like Paris where you should basically just kill yourself already.

Yeah, the increased derail chances could be a problem, but hopefully not too much. That's the kind of thing I won't be able to do much about until it actually happens, though.The community thread would be a suggestion game.

Indeed, the player fatally rate will probably be a lot higher than most games, so I have to get a good new player introduction thing going. I'm thinking maybe a spell that summons aid from the <whatever other world/plane/dimension/etc>, and gains energy from fallen spirits or something. Any input on this idea? Other ideas?

By the way, thanks for the interest and input.

When this happens I want to just suggest peaceful options in the community thread.

Or play a pacifist in the player thread as either one will be hilarious.

Post magi-apocalypse facility can only support ____ people out of cryogenics but protocol stats that there must be at least _____ people active so as to increase the chances of repair.

That sounds interesting.

I think we have a setting and a goal. Techno-magic underground ruin after the apocalypse infested with mutants, rogue defense systems, and bandits. Fight your way out. Maybe an underground city to keep things varied.

I had started brainstorming ideas for a backstory, but this is way better than anything I came up with. I'm definitely going with this.

Everything I came up with was all like, "you fell through the ceiling, died, and were reincarnated as a dragonslaying swallow" and "you randomly came into existence and all of a sudden you got stabbed". Ok, not quite that bad, but you get the idea.

A dragon-crawl based around making your way to vital parts and disabling it from the inside?

That sounds like an amazing roguelike.

It might work better if community suggestions were in a seperate thread, but I don't know.
I agree. Just a question as a newbie to the forums, can you ban certain people from a thread? If you can then the Players shouldn't be allowed on the community thread cause spoilers.
Depends on if the people agree to be banned.

Status of the game: I have the mechanics mostly worked out, with nothing gamebreakingly wrong as far as I can tell,
Five bucks says we find something to exploit.

I disagree for obvious reasons.
