DM VS GM
« on: April 07, 2017, 03:40:14 pm »

Reboot: linky

This is a card game where two players face off in a meta battle while NPC heroes try to play the game straight.

The DM controls the dungeon and what is in it, whether trap, monster, or treasure.

The GM controls the mechanics of the game, how attacks work, movement, and other various aspects.

The DM wins if all Hero NPCs are defeated.
The GM wins if the Dungeon Boss is defeated.


I am improvising this as a light distraction for my other games. It may crash and burn. *shrugs*

Need two.

GM: johiah
DM: Shadowclaw777

Spoiler: Dungeon — 2 rooms (click to show/hide)

The heroes will be these four:

Thief: Will move away from party if he spots treasure. Good at evading traps and attacks. Disorienting poison and flee tactics. Good at solving puzzles. Tends to lower party moral slightly.

Cleric: Never likes to leave the party. Healer. Frail. The best at solving puzzles. Greatly keeps party moral up.

Barbarian: Rushes into combat head on. Very hard to kill if accompanied by any part members. Great instincts. Very poor at puzzles.

Jester: Raises party moral a bit. Distracts enemies. Always knows how to solve puzzles, but won't if with any party members. Won't ever leave the party. Attacks with a limited supply of bombs.

Hmm, 3?

I could have there be a real hero, if Shadow wants it, or Fallacy wants it.

How about one person acts as miscellaneous helper "npc's" to the party, like living weapons or merchants, while, to be fair, another person supports the DM by acting as one of the enemies every once in a while, such as a kobold, slime, skeleton, etc. I would be the fourth player. Or, y'know, you could save Shadowclaw for the next game..

Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

Hmm, DM helper. Is that something you'd want to do Ocean?

Hm. Are we deciding who is the DM and who is the GM by coin toss, or by who asks for what he wants first?

In the case of the second, I'd like to be the DM.

If this doesn't fill soon I'll prolly lose interest, and try something else.


I've been scolded by my fellow GMs for this, But that is just what this is: a flash game, something that can exist this now or never.
