The map for my new forum game is complete! Now, to tweak and balance. Then, we shall PLAY!

[Kamin]

Wow, so you're finally almost done with it after all these years... My little guy has grown up so fast *tear*

[MaximumZero]

Er, not quite. My side project, for THIS VERY FORUM. That's what I've been working on, and what is nearly complete.

[Haspen]

PTW!

I wanted to do that last time we talked, hurr

[MaximumZero]

Okay, so I'm actually going to update this, even though it's been two months since I last did so.

I've been really, really busy with work, my daughter, trying to get back into college, trying to get full time work that isn't so damned sporadic, and making failed attempts at forum games that never actually made it to the forums. Sorry about that.

Actual game update: After a fit of inspiration, I just completed the "Blessings" table. So, now you have 100 Blessings and 100 Curses to work with. I've tweaked a few spells for balance's sake. I'll probably work on materials or equipment next, but there are so much of both that...well...it's daunting to even look at.

I've got 90 Ritual (Non-Elemental spells), 40 Proficiencies (essentially 40 mini-rulesets for skill challenges and 400 bonuses,) 146 Weapons (I haven't even touched armor yet,) 97 Material types, and a shitload of other rules to write. I also seem to be missing about 500 pages of notes. They exist, but fuck if I know where they are. I'm not even sure what they contain anymore.

Officially, my word count is 49,243, which is kind of depressing when thinking about NaNoWriMo. DnD4e PHB1 is roughly 200k words. I've got a long, long way to go.

Keep it up, Max. I'm not good judging rules and mechanics and such, but I'll always be available when you want noob-proof it

[Tsuchigumo550]

And I'm always ready to test it against crazy people.

[Darvi]

I think most people here would want to test it.

You should take the 'Desperate Gods' engine and make it so you can bring up the rules, role dice, and import/draw dungeons!

anyways, looks great.

Never heard of it. I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip.

Okay, from looking at it for a little bit, it doesn't really seem up to snuff to do something as vast as run any tabletop game. Once I get closer to completing this monster of a project, I'll probably cook up some mapping tools or something, but it's gonna have to wait for now. In fact, it'll probably have to wait until I can afford to hire a programmer or five, because I'm a barely mediocre at-very-best programmer.

[Darvi]

IMO it'd be just easier to use maptools. I mean DG is great once you get over the interface and stuff, but for a fullblown PnP game maptools is just more appropriate.

[MaximumZero]

Just punched up the raw numbers for all the weapons and ammo. Once I get armor/accessories and medicines and whatnot done, the game should be dungeon crawl-able again, although it'll be missing a lot, a lot of stuff.

Edit: 11/29/12

Broke 50k words. Spent about an hour and a half punching in numbers for armor and rebalancing weapons.

[chaoticag]

There's always other tools to run this over too, like roll20.net if you're having port forwarding blues.

Also, good to see this is still alive and well, looking forward to it.

[MaximumZero]

Oh, it's still going. It's just going really slowly. It probably will until after christmas is over and I have time that I can use to write instead of decompress from running myself ragged.

[SilverDragon]

This sounds awesome. I would be happy to help test when you get to that point, and also posting to watch.
