EDIT: Also Lord_lemonpie how does combat work?
@Lord_lemonpie
Ludku’s recent post seems to include various possible combat encounters that haven’t been rolled for, adventurers also seeking Vahooci’s being assumed to be killed by Namek, or do individual conflicts not get rolled?
I just thought you should know
I'll share my thoughts on combat.
I don't want to drown this game in rules. Both to keep it easy to maintain (I've let way too many games die because I made them too much of a burden to run for myself, like Chamdhi Nivula and Tribes of the White Sea) and to keep the creative juices flowing and unconstrained by a multitude of rules! The rolling system is in place to avoid things people are really invested in being instakilled and making stuff like that more "fair" and to give people the ability to have random chance play a role in their things, but minor conflicts can just take place in lore. Especially when both parties are created by one player (this last bit won't apply if other people have also invested heavily into that creation).
I'll only demand rolls for full on wars and stuff like that, rolling for raids/minor attacks that won't have major consequences is not required, rolling for the conquest of nations will be. Requesting rolls for anything is still allowed, however, if people want to add that bit of spice to their actions.
If I see something that really requires a roll without being rolled for, I'll notify the poster and make those rolls.
Though writing has far from penetrated the Northern Lands, the incredibly rare Brüdines and Løkhunds that do know how to write, have started to write their names as "Brudine" and "Lokhund", on account of there being no equivalent to the ü and ø sounds in the human writing systems they use.
(OOC: assuming that ü represents the same sound it does IRL, the closest equivalent would be "Bridine" or "Brythine". If not, then just ignore this)
Basing it on the german pronounciation of the ü, I thought u (/u:/) would be the best supplement, but English and their 7 gazillion different pronunciations of vowels always fucks me up, haha
