Anyway guys, since this is game in my mind is still in beta and we're still waiting on Brgle. I've decided to begin a discussion on a few changes I want to make.

Now I want to make the following changes:

I want to make it so that if you have 0 points in a stat all rolls with it have a -1 and bonuses are added every 2 points rather than every single point. So 3 suction would become a +1 modifier rather than a +3. I'm worried that things will get ridiculous if suddenly there is suction +9. Instead it will become a +4. (nothing is changed with density, size, and speed)

Next I want to buff command by making it that for every point, you get an extra attack with your pseudopods if you choose to make any. So if you have 3 command points and 3 pseudopods, you can make an attack with all 3 of your pseudopods. If you have 5 pseudopods and only 2 command points. You can only make an attack with 2 of them. Does that make sense to you? I might instead choose to make it for every 2 command points you get an extra attack.

Finally, I'm gonna buff giant mosquito's

So what do you guys think?

[killerhellhound]

Seems like that would balance the game alot and make command actually useful

[Tomcost]

Well, I like the buff to command because so far it was pretty useless.

Re: Balance change: Will this mean there's a change in character creation?

Spoiler: Waitlist (click to show/hide)

Name: Drip
Type: water based slime
Level: 1
Mass: 50 kg
Density: 1.6 kg/Liter
Size: 31.25 Liters
Command: 0 (1 with change?)
Pinocytosis: 0 (1 with change?)
Suction: 1 (3 with change?)
Weight: 0

Also, since you mentioned we could change our density but didn't mention if it cost points, I assumed it was at will.

[heydude6]

Yes, character creation most likely will be changed. Also changing density is free. Usually you'd want to increase it if your trying to crush something inside of you, or if you're trying to slap someone with a psuedopod. You'd normally want to decrease it in order to grow larger and get a speed boost. No matter what you do (unless you roll a 6) you will suffer a "summoning sickness" whose effects are determined by how drastic the change is and how you roll.

Also Flabort, you still only start with 3 stat points. Your current build is fine but your (with change part) has 6 stat points.

[flabort]

I count 7. But I figured if you were changing the balance so that stats had less effect, I figured that part of the change was giving more stat points so I guessed at how many and put that for the "with change" parts. Since the I didn't know if you would/how much you would, I put it in brackets.

Feel free to disregard the bracketed things.

looks interesting, hard to say now cuz i didnt played xD good that u work on ur game

[heydude6]

Anyway, I'll wait 1 more day for brgle to reply and then I'll write the update without him.

[Sarrak]

Ops

Brgle copes with acid in his body and seeks something to eat. Try metal, plastic and wood if nothing more delicious occurs.

Hey guys. It's me the GM here. I was writing an update and unfortunately I had to leave my computer for many hours. When I came back, I wrote down a bunch of things for the update (essentially I was updating my update) when I decided to click preview. I was then informed that my session timed out and when I clicked backspace firefox said that the document had expired. I clicked backspace a few more times and I kept getting expired documents until it brought me back to a blank slate.

Naturally I am annoyed and demoralized and will not be able to give you guys an update today (it's late anyway). To make matters even worse (I'm just whining at this point so feel free to ignore), this update was one of my favorites. It had well-written dialogue, the introduction of a new character (due to an interesting roll) and a lengthy paragraph explaining some new rules.

Since tomorrow I'll have the same amount (if not more) free time as I had yesterday. I will provide the update then. The same events will happen but the quality of dialogue may suffer. Next time if this happens I'll save my posts to notepad. I wrote down what I currently remember so I don't forget what happened (rolls have been mostly forgotten though)

Ah well, complications like these and how you handle them are what define the difference between a good GM and a bad GM. I hope you guys all sleep well.

[Delekates]

lulz, i understand u
mostly i save everything to notepad cuz fc brousers 

[flabort]

Yes. I have experienced this pain before.

But also the pain of my computer auto-updating and resetting itself without saving the contents of my notepad.

I admit it's easier to do (basic) formatting in the browser, and spellcheck as well (Notepad doesn't, and programs that do take too long to load), but I do agree with recommendations to do big posts (like game turns) in notepad.
