My very limited experience with ASCII-code is that it's nightmarish, because color tags ruin everything forever.

However, my only experience attempting to create ASCII maps using a program ended in abject failure also. Take that as you will.

Well, BBcode requires messy messing with text when you want to edit it (especially messy the larger the map gets), while graphical maps require you to upload it and copy the link and such.

They both have their downsides, but I'd say they're roughly equal in how much time they take. At least I think. I haven't used text based maps for a while, but I recall it being a bit messy in a way.

Thank you, that's what I was looking for. I suppose I'd also have to take into account to difficulty/time of transferring the editable graphical maps to adwarf and back (if that's possible). Maybe dropbox could be used for that, but it'd still need an imgur upload...

Adwarf and I are going to be co-GMing a hilarious yet lethal RTD.

Oh God what? Can I voice my strong approval and feverish anticipation of this as an idea?

Overall sounds like a solid concept.

Thank you.

any proposed similarities.

More the similarly simple system than anything else, there will be no Nazis, sports underwear fetish, or… a third thing that I haven’t thought of yet. Complicated stats? Russians?

Except that I hope this is ever so slightly more serious than Bowienauts

Much more serious – as serious as questing for a Magical Mandolin to save civilisation could be. Unfortunately I’m very busy today and need to update my other game first.

edit:
Ooh - forgot to say. The idea of adding words to your class description was a kind of prestige class simulating kind of thing (will influence the choice of skills I do for you) and I guess a 0 word class would be a sub-peasant or something. Or a toddler.

Could having the name "Wile E. Coyote" and the class "Super Genius" lead to never succeeding in anything but starvation?

[lawastooshort]

I'd probably object that "Super Genius" doesn't sound very generically non-minimalistically medievally fantasy, so we'd probably never know.

Would anyone be interested in this madness? Each player can post for the spot they want, but do tell me exactly what you'd take. If both you and someone else want a spot, and you're OK with a few spots and the other guy only wants the one, he'd get it, but if you want that spot but would be OK with a few others, and he wants the spot but is also OK with another (unfilled) spot, he'd get the unfilled one. Basically, when/if the thread comes up, post in order what you'd like to be, and don't include things you don't want to be, and the GM will find you one of those spots. Probably. If two people want the exact same spot and only that spot it will be first-come first-serve and the second guy just won't get in.

Very interested. Pre-in if possible as a Cosmos Player, preferably Cosmos Architect, Destiny Weaver or Mother Atrocity, in that order.

I have been reliably informed that a Generic Non-Minimalist Fantasy Medieval RTD should not be humorous, particularly as this would affect its Generic qualities. I wasn't intending mine to be especially humorous, but I do doubt my capacity for all-out intense seriousness.

I think I have to reflect quietly about a few things.

[Tiruin]

Reliably informed? I believe its better off if you go with how you naturally write it instead of forcing a style of performance in writing. You can write intense scenes la, given that they're mostly mixed up with humor, its a two-win situation.

Reflect well

You have been reliably lied to.

I would agree that what you have written is probably not 100% generic, but I don't see any reason it would need to be. You're not going to drop the mandolin idea or class mechanics because that's not the average quest item or ways of classing people across the sampled fantasies, right?

And besides, I dunno what your experiences with generic fantasy are, but mine frequently involves players. That stays real serious all the time!

[Dermonster]

If anything I'll Make it humorous.

[Digital Hellhound]

I can reliably tell you nobody has told lawas to not run this game (if anything, the opposite). There was some pondering about what constitutes a generic non-minimalist medieval fantasy and the fittingness of his idea into this very complex and very specific niche.

[Tsuchigumo550]

It's up, post your sheets

Humor is something to not have an excess of, but also something that's good to not have a shortage of. In my opinion. While you shouldn't make it so silly that nobody takes the game seriously, a good dose of humor could improve the game IF the setting allows it.
