You can do it in-browser you know.

More things, apparently it's mostly because of the time it takes to actually write a turn. 4-6 hours, apparently.

And of course take everything I say with a grain of salt; I'm not the GM and I'm not a mind reader.

[Greatness942]

I know I could probably do it in-browser, but I was on mobile when I wrote that. Still on mobile by the way.

And yeah, you aren't a mind reader, and don't know everything. You're still a big help at the moment for those who are, in fact, on mobiles without Discord. Thanks.

I have been neglecting this game. Like a pestilence, I admit. As much as I hate to admit it, it is really hard for me to get something out of this game comparable to what I put in. That's nothing against the players, rather it's on the system that I've invented, and we now reach a point where a game, meant to minimize stress and salt and be little more than an entertaining diversion, has evolved into something where balance and carefully calculated and precise moves over a large numbers of players reigns. While this might be fine for some other GMs who look very precise and calculated games, I am not one of those GMs, and only realize this too late. It takes me roughly 4-6 hours to finish a turn, most of which is performing calculations and creating results, while I would rather spend that time making a fun, original and creative game at the expense of some logic and precision.

At this point, I am strongly reconsidering revamping this game, though I warn that it would take on a much fluffier, sillier and purposely balanced-but-not-that-much-honestly system, as well as being cooperative and not focused on Player-against-Player.

The only thing i disagree with is it cooperative, i want to kill other players not npc's, then again that's just my opinion.

As Elephant Parade acutely pointed out, PvP combat encourages hyper-balancing and minmaxing. I understand that this version of this game may not necessarily appeal to everyone playing this one, and I would not be insulted if some, or even most, of you did not join it.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

co-op is fine

[Greatness942]

Honestly, the idea of different real, fictional, and OC characters fighting Boss Battles or what have you in enticing. Co-Op is perfectly fine.

[FallacyofUrist]

Hm. I feel that most of the interest comes from the PvP aspect...

I have a third option to suggest, however.
Revamp this into a team based game(3 or 4 teams) competing for some objective. More cooperation, still keeps the PvP aspect.

Might want to set up a poll.

There'd be more cooperation, sure, but still the same amount of PvP, so you'd get the same amount of hyper-balancing—or more, since you'd also have to worry about balancing teams against each other.

[Failbird105]

I like this new idea very much, what you described right there? That is exactly the kind of game that I WANT to play, a game that's just silly and fun, I'm actually playing an extremely similar game to that idea right now on another forum.

[Playergamer]

Yep. I like the new idea, I'm in.

I was thinking, based on the success of it in one of my other games, to have a team (possibly teams) of characters visiting various dimensions/timelines and trying to fix the things that went wrong. It's like a Trespassers game infused with some Doctor Who, if Doctor Who was a fictional expy beating the shit out of problems with vidya game/anime/historical/etc. powers instead of being an intergalatic weirdo in a phone booth.

Either way, the system would be much simplified, which I believe will mostly come in part to it not being pure PvP and thus removing the need to min-max characters to be able to have distinct advantages over other player characters.

I'll take this into account, but I can not set up a poll at this point. Not that I don't care about player opinion, but I feel like this time I have to make my own decision in order to create something that I can control and enjoy in maintaining and GM'ing.
