I once proposed we do an acoustic kitty using tigers, but that wouldn't really work pior to very small radios.

I enjoy the picture of anyone trying to stealthily smuggle your current 60 pound battery-and-radio assemblies near a conversation unnoticed.

Well, tigers are quite big, after all. We may just need to remove it's ability to shit by replacing the internals with radio and battery. And with 2-meter long antenna coming out of it's asshole.

I wonder. How long does it take to write a turn? The part we see is already very big, and I imagine it takes a lot of time,  but the part we don't see ( the rolls, the thought on how to assign bonuses, how weapons work) must be quite large as well.

[Andres]

The writing takes a lot longer than the rolls from my experience in running games.

[andrea]

yes, but the roll part in this case includes also things like getting a base understanding of the various weapon systems and deciding how they interact. That is what I imagine takes a while.( not longer than writing, but not insignificant)
Although for the most part you could consider it under the 'writing' part as well.

of course, much depends on the underlying system, which Sensei would ( very rightfully) not share.

[evilcherry]

The system is basically fudged.

Well, you can think about this. There are 4 fronts, Air, Jungle, Mountain, Plains. You consider the armaments, and decide that the general balance for the situation is so should be so many pips towards Arstotzka or Moskurg. You roll a dice, or many, and add that to the total, simulating chance. Write the outcome based on the dice. Rinse and repeat.

[Sheb]

Yeah, but you need to read up, and decide which side has the advantage. Moskurg has fewer tanks, but better AT weapon. Who wins the tank side? Etc, etc etc. And it's nice writing too.

Slight push. Any chance to have the update in a few hours?

I have you executed by firing squad, that rarely if ever is beneficial to a game in the long term.

The old "multiworld madness" RTD lived and thrived on us layers calling for "ROLLS" between turns. But I'll agree that in general it doesn't work, especially when such requests are posted when the GM isn't online to listen

[Kashyyk]

Ohey, I remember that. Although I do wonder how much affect that actually had on things.

[andrea]

I am going to guess  none, but it kept us entertained and judging from how long that RTD lasted, I guess it didn't have a negative effect on Sean

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

edit: that picture of rolls actually made me hungry. I need to find the recipe and cook them.

[Sheb]

I dunno, bumps might be beneficial from time to time I guess.

[Sensei]

I keep planning to update this, and do other things.

Tomorrow! Probably.
