All that stuff about Japanese katanas is wrong. Their smiths had to fold the metal so many times because the ore was very low quality and that's the only way you could create a practical weapon that could cut. At any rate, we're European commoners, no one's getting their hands on an exotic Eastern blade without paying out the ass for it.

[Squeegy]

It's a meme, not a serious suggestion.

A better reason is that the different types of spears have different types of heads which can do different damage.

Wouldn't that be represented through weapon quality?

No. No matter its quality, a halberd head is going to have more capacity to deal damage than a spear point. And within the system, weapon quality is never indicative of damage, only how easy the weapon is to use.

[Parsely]

What-

* GUNINANRUNIN looks at the stats.

Ohhhh okay, thought Andres was dead serious.

[Pencil_Art]

Just a tentative suggestion: Would it be too hard to play if you implemented damageable organs?

[kj1225]

Then he could do the fights in DF.

[Pencil_Art]

That was actually what I was thinking.

[Squeegy]

I may eventually add damageable organs in the form of conditions/diseases you can receive for being hit, but I will not add organs to the limb list or have a separate organ list because it would be too much extra rolling and calculating. There has to be a balance between realism and gameplay.

I am not, ever, going to use Dwarf Fortress to simulate fights.

[Pencil_Art]

Yeah.

[Raycaster]

Look at us, all being so sloppy with our movement instructions. I'm going to need to get back to going into detail on that. I remember this other game that squeegy ran. He actually had this instruction formatting thought out for it.

So a tile is 2m unless it's diagonal, then it's 3m?

I'll keep that in mind and use coordinates, probably. Of my own design.

[Squeegy]

Yes, moving horizontally and vertically is 2m. Moving diagonally is 3m.

In that other game I had to keep track of like 20-25 things at once, and frequently made mistakes, and people were very vague with their actions. It was a mess.

[heydude6]

By any chance can I have a link to that other game or do you think it will spoil this experience?

[Squeegy]

No, it wasn't a Foot Soldiers game, it was a different RPG for a different community.

[Andres]

What happens when a 2d6 weapon gets its attack dice downgraded? Does it become 2d4, <1d6, 1d4>, or 1d6?

[Squeegy]

If your AD are 2d6 and they are downgraded, you roll 2d4.

So how are the updates scheduled? Whenever you have the time, once a day, after everyone has submitted a turn, or something else?
