able to train units in different skills/professions maybe?

Woah hey... THIS is interesting. I'm gonna think about this.

[IronyOwl]

You might want to give some thought as to how complex and how long you want the games to become. Making it more of a full-fledged tribes thing might not be a bad idea, but it's definitely the sort of thing you'd want to plan in advance.

[SHAD0Wdump]

I'm looking into this stuff, what I want is those shorter games like the first one, but somewhat more balanced. I'll also be attempting to split things into two rulesets. 1.0 will be the basic game. 2.0 will have all these other complexities, though I will attempt to keep game length short still.

[Cheddarius]

I'm not very good at programming, but I might be able to make a crude tool to help with the GM-ing, especially if stuff starts cropping up like skills.

[eclipsetail]

four 5s hunt, the others breed.

[Dwarmin]

Looks interesting. Wouldn't mind helping to develop it!
For example SHADOWdump, have you ever considered adding some random "creep" like NPC monsters, to attack the tribes-or possibly have their dens discovered by your hunters, so you can attack them at your own time. Ideally balanced, they wouldn't be able to cripple a tribe in one blow...unless said tribe was unprepared. Of course, the difficulty could scale with time passed and how much food/and or bones you hoarded-I like the idea of a big store of food attracting powerful enemies, as it discourages turtling. Killing monsters and whatnot could give you bonuses-like a Dragon's bones could be used for a powerful one shot spell, as well it's meat increasing the chance of higher level members being born.

It could be a tactical decision to either hunt monsters for bounty, or hide from them.

Anywho, signing up

I am already experimenting with OpenRPG for running live sessions of Shallow Space (with 4 players rather than 12). It might be useful for this game too. I'll have to play with it though.

[SHAD0Wdump]

Well, lets try to get this one through as fast as possible, then we can revert to much more fast paced rules.

The breeding results in a 8 and a 3.
 The hunt brings (20*2/2=20) food and (20*2/2=20) bones. And an item...

Armor of Cuisine
 Wearer takes 5 food per turn,but generates a bone each turn, when casualties are inflicted, wearer is counted as 1 effectiveness higher, can be used in a guard tower

Pretty crappy item unless you want the bones that much.

ORGY!
 You get two 10s and three 2s. Extremes.

Agh dammit as soon as I stop checking.

Equip the ninja buckler on the 7, he's now named Roland.
Equip the armor on one of the 3s.

Time to make things interesting, for better or for worse!
The entire camp goes to steal techno's food, except for one 3.
If I understand right, my effectiveness should be the base of 43 plus 20 from the item.  Multiply that times 2 and compare to his CE of 81, it's 126 vs 81.  My little python script says that gives me a 72% chance of success, and the difference of 55 is enough to get all his food.

The 3 hunts.
... and I just now realized, gets a 1/5 chance of finding another item.

[Cheddarius]

Woot

What's your one 4 going to do? Hunt?

[Rolan7]

Woot

What's your one 4 going to do? Hunt?

Oh whoops yeah hunt.
And I was mistaken I have no 4's, it's a 3 (which I have 4 of).

[SHAD0Wdump]

Firstly, the hunt brings (3*1/2=1) food and (3*1/2=1) bones, whoopee...

 And the rest of the camp goes and uses their Kobold skills to sneak into techno's camp!
(63*2*3=378) vs (81*6=486)... Uh oh...
Luckily, you get away unscathed.

It's a fair cop!  I have no regrets.
