Yah. Not fun.

[Adragis]

Looks fun to me.

[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Your point? Because that was pretty much how the game was intended from what I understand.

As it was made in the Roguelike style, kinda was.

And plenty of injuries taking months to heal normally.

And some never healing.

Are we at a misunderstanding of what the result of having realistic damage is?  You say you want realistic damage, but don't want these type of injuries, which is a result of having realistic damage.

Critical Existence Failure is a stupid way to go.

Did I ever say that the system has to have it be that you can work just as fine with low HP as high HP?

[~Neri]

Roguelike style doesn't normally run very well in rping. As has been shown by the slow stagnation of the game. Coupled with slow posting for encounters, it sorta died. You'll note that the times with high participation were the times with minimal injuries and deaths.

Also Roguelikes always have a way to win. Attrition death is not winning. If lets say, each time the player died, they kept their levels, then that would work for attrition, because then they're still improving.

No, we aren't misunderstanding. I definitely want realistic damage. However we Will need to rework the game pacing and encounter formatting to prevent attritiondeath. Unless you want to keep levels on death, in which case it wouldn't matter.

That's generally how hitpoints work.

I say we get rid of realistic damage because as one of the people who ran maps or wanted to run maps, it's to annoying to determine damage as of now.

[WillowLuman]

Some of these problems could be solved by making healing a little more available.

Some of these problems could be solved by making healing a little more available.

Indeed.

Especially considering we will now have an alchemist who should eventually be able to make healing potions.

I got an idea on how to do this while on my way to class, will discuss on steam/pms later.

As per the question of fun, I think we could use more concrete feedback there. What are peoples' favorite moments? Least favorite? Memorable NPCs/side characters?

As a GM, I liked revealing stuff that got a reaction. The Halls of memory, the start of Bandit's Playhouse. However, overall my favorite moment was probably the Hungry Pumkin room, especially

Unfortunately, the attack glances off of the pumpkin's side, as if he swung at solid stone. The pumpkin glared at Kyle, grappled onto his arm, and threw him across the room, causing the ninja to skid onto the smooth floor and collide against the wall, bruising his legs in the process and lightly denting his helm.

"No! I don't want that!"

The Pumpkin's vacant stare returned, and he looked back at the assortment of food.

And

"Right, then." HugoLuman picks up both bricks and places them in front of the pumpkin, jumping back immediately.

The pumpkin stares at the two bricks intently, standing so completely still as to be devoid of motion. He didn't move, and seemed to be stuck in place.

"Hmmm, it appears we broke the mind of our poor acquaintance here lads. Guess he won't be bothering us anymo-"

The pumpkin started to eat. It grabbed from the same general area over and over and over again, stuffing itself on food which seemed to materilzize out of nothing. The pumpkin grew larger, and larger, and yet larger still, until it reached the top of the diner's ceiling.

"That wasn't too baaaad."

The colossal glutton then proceeded to walk out of the door, breaking it and the surrounding area in the process and shattering the whole facade, leaving behind a plain concrete wall and wooden gate as it appeared to simply vanish in the wall. The room fell silent, and everything seemed a touch more real.

everything mostly blurred together for me.  Two main things I remember are the person me, kj, and propman trained under and the fisherman at the river.  Even those are kinda blurred.

[WillowLuman]

I'd like to get the new one started today, but I'd like to have a group chat about the core mechanics. That is, recommended classes, respawning, and leveling. Does anyone think these need to be reconsidered?

[kj1225]

Nah, those were fine.

[WillowLuman]

Can you get on steam? There's enough people on to have a bit of a talk.

The two new mechanics I want to discuss are standardized consumables (in addition to whatever ones people come up with) and group mechanics for dropping in/out and regulating pace.

[kj1225]

Can't, having trouble getting my new PC up and running.

[endlessblaze]

I can use steam.

[Rolepgeek]

I can get on Steam.
