This is a simple-ish game inspired by Fenrir's 'Dig 3 Squares'.

Spoiler: rules (click to show/hide)

host:
-create field
-discuss extra gameplay mechanics with players
-request starting postitions of players
-watch over gameplay,keeping stats and adjusting gameplay.

players:
-choose a color
-choose 3 characters
-choose a starting location
-play using rulesets


A turn consists of 3 moves per available character of the player's side.AP cannot be split between characters.Unless stated otherwise,all actions can be performed multiple times per turn.(provided there is enough AP)


Objective:KILL ALL OPPOSITION!


All characters can perform the following:
-move a space
-dig a space
-build a wall
-guard self(protects against projectiles,only once a round,lasts an entire round,each AP spent protects against 1 projectile)
-attack a adjacent target for 1 damage

All directions are applicable to moves.(including diagonal)


Characters:
(all characters have 3 HP)
-Warrior
 Can deal 2 damage in a move,melee.
 Can break a fortification for 2 action points.

-archer
 Can attack any target within LOS for 1 damage.(determined by host,use logic to determine)
 Attacks can fire through allies.

-guardian
 Can use two action points to become immune to all projectiles for a round.

-Mason
 Can build fortifications(uses 2 action points),these allow projectiles through,can be 'shut' to prevent projectiles from coming through(requires a adjacent character and one action point),Fortifications cannot be dug through.
 Can reinforce a wall for 2 action points,reinforced walls cannot be dug through.
 Can break a reinforced wall for two action points.

-healer
 Can repair a single health point of another adjacent character,cannot heal self.

Environment:
wall=█
reinforced wall=▓
fortification(open)=║/═
fortification(closed)=│/─
open space=./,
character=colored first initial,duplicates are in bold/italicized/underlined.

Hopefully this vague copy-paste from my txt will suffice...

To join simply state your wish to join,claim a color,choose three characters,and select your starting position.Your starting position will be hollowed out(3x3 area) and your characters will be placed within.

2nd game:

A few special rules are added:

Spoiler: colored spawn (click to show/hide)

ground tiles/walls in the 3X3 spawn area of a player are colored appropriately.

Spoiler: Resurrection (click to show/hide)

A player can choose to forfeit his turn(cannot issue orders to characters) he then can have one of his dead characters replaced at full health at the center of his spawn.

Spoiler: Base capture (click to show/hide)

A flag is placed at the center of a player's spawn,flags grey with appropriately colored glow,players may choose the icon of the flag from the following table http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_437 ,default ¥.
If a player has one of his characters adjacent and spends 1 additional AP,he will capture this flag,once captured resurrection at that spawn is no longer possible.

Spoiler: Edge spawn (click to show/hide)

players may only choose to spawn at the edge of one of the boundaries,or a corner.

Spoiler: Randomized turns (click to show/hide)

No matter what the order that people post their turns,initiative will be handled at random.

Couldn't a guardian and two warriors (or a warrior and an archer, for that matter) almost definitely win by always staying adjacent? You'd need an enemy warrior to take out the guardian, but a friendly one could conceivably protect him. You might end up needing either an entire team of warriors or two cooperating teams to take out the guardian.

Also,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unicode_characters

Cool idea for a game.

Oh yeah, what's your position on occasional non player monsters showing up? I think it would be interesting for players to sometimes come across something truly horrible, like an Ϡ, or something.

Also, how do you plan to represent characters? What about team colors and class symbols? A red team warrior could be W, for example, and a blue team healer could by H.

[SHAD0Wdump]

What if I cut out his invulnerability to projectiles?

Also,thanks for the link,but it doesn't seem to help me with alt codes all that much.

I also need to know how to use the alt code system without my browser jumping all over the internet.

[inaluct]

Maybe make it so the guardian's version of the Guard Self ability protects against ALL projectiles for a turn, instead of the first one? You could make other classes only defend against one per action point, or something.

How many hit points do all the classes have? I assume the same number. And how about a specific chart with AP costs for certain actions? That way, you could list classes by HP and AP, followed by special abilities. You could, let's say, have 3 be the standard value for both AP and HP and then make a 4 AP, 3 HP class with no real special abilities, or something. Maybe a 4 HP, 3 AP class that can heal itself (and only itself) by one HP for one action point?

This is mostly stuff that would go in a later, tested game, but I'm captivated by the idea and can't resist. Good job.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Sounds good,people can just have those they want protected hunker down behind him and he won't turn invincible when the opponent sends the warriors in.

Also,on your edit,yes team's are displayed by color and character type by first letter.

Monsters can be rolled on every turn and given one action by the host on a extra 'monster's' turn,of course such things will be discussed with the players before addition...

Your later edit,each character has but a wee 3 HP

[inaluct]

I'm going to stop editing my posts now.

Anyway, I'll wait until other people have had a sufficient chance to get in on this, and then I'll sign up if there's room left.

[SHAD0Wdump]

I'm also toying around with a resurrection gameplay element,which would allow players to spend all 3 AP to rez a fallen character at their starting point provided no enemies have captured the starting point.

[inaluct]

That sounds pretty interesting. It would turn the game into a sort of capture-the-base thing (which would be good, in my opinion, because I like that sort of game). I just realized how AP actually works in this, too. I think that maybe individual AP per character might be good, because it would speed up play enormously and sort of encourage more exotic play styles.

For instance, a group with a mason, a healer, and a warrior might be able to use reinforced walls to make an artificial chokepoint and force the enemies to fight the warrior while the healer heals him. If it were a collective 3 AP per turn per player, it would probably be too tedious to build enough walls.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Something that might have to be toyed with...

Again,the first game is a test.

[inaluct]

Well, hopefully this will be the next forum RTD. It certainly looks more entertaining to watch.  ټ

[SHAD0Wdump]

I hope the same.

Especially since it will be SO much simpler to manage if everyone behaves.

[Fenrir]

This is the character code reference I use.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Thankyou Fenrir.Just what I needed.

OP updated with map.

Keep in mind,this is going to be a 3 player game,the map is only small because of that.

[qwertyuiopas]

I would like to join.
Characters:MWW(mason,2 wariors)

Edit: Start: J1

[SHAD0Wdump]

qwertyuiopas,you still need to choose a starting tile.
