Its 6 weeks of real life time to ascend, correct?
Since you started the game, and between each ascension, yes. ^^ Among other things, it means that people have to be committed to the game and stick around if they want to be stronger. ^^
Alright, I noted my start date, and date of ascension in my profile to help remind me.
Erande has been here for a bit, but mostly he lurks. I plan on continuing the story of Kargoth's journey to the South, as it were, when I'm less slammed at work.
And Yidhra will just hope that somebody gets her jokes. XD However, I do plan to issue a Decree eventually... perhaps something along the lines of "Except for Death, Mortals do not have Destinies".
Except, of course, for the little detail that one could argue "destiny" is nothing but the inevitable result of each individual's actions, so if people are going to do something anyway, then they really are destined to do whatever they end up doing, so a decree like this is functionally meaningless and has no effect at all... XD
I keep expecting Yihdra to issue this decree: "Everything you know is wrong, black is white up is down and short is long!"
Yidhra: And everything you thought was just so important doesn't matter~
I was sort of intending Melehan to have been an ascended mortal himself, having originally been an undead-hunting paladin in life.
I plan to do a cosmic decree myself, one which is perhaps the fundamental driving force of the universe: THE CAKE IS A LIE!
That site is really cool Jezebelle, is that for you or can we add everything to it?
actually Ilja put it up.
If you watch some pages back you can see how to get access.
Hello? Anybody home?
I am! Was a bit busy yesterday. ^^
I'm always lurking. Guess I need to make my "one to grow on" post. Look for that later today.
Still trying to figure out what Melehan should do next. Halp pleez!
Do something that would encourage lawful societies in the world?
Or discreetly encourage chaotic societies, because judging would probably be much more interesting if people didn't live by rules and you got to decide how to judge each soul based on its own actions.
Or both. XD
Yidhra, I love how apathetic your worshippers are.
"there's the crazy thing our goddess made us! we should"
"put it on a pedestal!"
"wait, what?"
"ya, do you know what it does?"
"I have no idea. You?"
"Not a clue. So let's put it on a pedestal and name it something artsy."
....................
I imagine the conversation went something like that.
Muwahahahahaha~
Yeah, they're a pretty chill lot. XD They've long since given up trying to comprehend their goddess, so now they just roll with it and don't worry too much.
Still trying to figure out what Melehan should do next. Halp pleez!
"Kiss me, you fool!"
in the words of the immortal Takei "OH, MY!"
Hitting on Melehan after our date? How could you?
I know Azdan has some problem with relationships...
But going to see an old lady die is kind of a lousy date.
Typical woman.
Sorry.. I thought "the eternal feminine" was enough of a warning sign.
And believe me, you won't like to see her on that time of the century.
yuk yuk.....YUCK. =P
This is funny, I have a kid(Sorta) with her, which is an advantage I would say!
I am torn between making some awesome weapon for myself, or creating Titans....hmm what to do.
If you have any question or for every discussion for my latest weave plane/cosmic decree.. feel free to do it here.
I have been reading this from page one and now I have like three or so pages to go until current. I just want to say, wow guys. Great jobs!
I'm unsure if a declaration like "Any mortal who dedicates their life to serving a particular god gets to bypass Melehan's judgment system and goes straight to the court of their god" would be a decree or something. I'm still technically a fledgling as the majority of my actions up to this point have been related to domains I already have, since I needed to get the whole afterlife thingy set up, and so I haven't had any real opportunities to expand my portfolio.
well. if you intend to enforce that, you don't really need it. you simply redirect the souls as soon as they come to you.
Jez, I am not ignoring you, just trying to think of my response. Will probably post it up tomorrow.
I wanted to try combat both because It felt the right occasion, but also because it's one aspect of the game that is completely untested.
As such.. as sson as we tried the first problem came out...
I quote the rules
During each round of combat, you roll all of the dice for your attack and defense, and compare the numbers to your opponent's rolls. If you rolled more attack than they did defense, then their HP takes damage. There is a 2 damage minimum.
Since it says "If you rolled more attack than they did defense, then their HP takes damage." I assume the 2 damage minimum rule applies before comparing attack and defense.
So if I roll only 1 attack dice and comes out as a 1(or if my opponent has abilities like divine beauty that removes dice from my attack) I still have an output of 2 damage against my opponent defense. (which means that unless your opponents rolls very badly in defense or has no dice to roll at all, those two damage are probably going to be absorbed by defense)
Also I fail to see anything about regaining lost hp.
Maybe the hp are meant to last for just one confrontation.
So every battle sees you at full Hp no matter how many battles you sustain.
But I think is more fun and more logical to assume you regain some hp during rollovers.
In that care how much?
All of it? Just a little bit? is that influenced by your rank?
Anyway if we accept the rule "regain hp during rollover" I would add the little clause "only if you are not currently fighting".
Otherwise people may recover hp faster than they lose them.
What do you guys think?
I'm preeeeeeeetty sure that you're meant to have full HP between battles. ^^ Unless, I dunno, somebody jumps you literally as soon as the previous battle ends or something.

Yeah I'm sure that's what is intended.
But my fundamentally backstabbing nature suggest that the latter hypothesis would be much more fun.
Or it could mean that you can't deal 1 damage. I.E if you roll 14 atk and I roll 13 def, you hit for 2 dam even though the difference is only 1.
I'm still here btw. Work has just been crazy for the last couple of weeks.
I'm here as well! Yidhra's mostly just sleeping, but I'll probably pick things up a bit once she rises another level.
Still here. I just got a new job, and I've been very busy.
Also here, just a bit busy as the summer hits.

I'm sorry, gang. My free lance schedule ramped up and A couple of ideas for the next two GenCons exploded in my mind. I haven't forgotten the game, I just got really busy writing for money. Dirty, filthy, rotten stinking ooh-is-that-a-series-of-Famine-ties-on-Etsy money.

You'll note, however, that unlike benny, I hope nothing untowards happens to you.
After a bit of thought, I've categorized Melehan's expenditures as the following:
AP Gains and Expenditures:
15 starting points
Create Legendary Concept (Souls) -5 AP (Repose)
Create Legendary Concept (Afterlife) -5 AP (Repose)
Weave Plane (The Amaranthine, the land of the dead) -5 AP (Repose)
gain 4 ap
gain 4 ap
gain 4 ap
Ability Gained: Crystal Seer (-5 AP) (Vigilance)
Join Pantheon (-1 AP) (The North)
gain 5 ap
Weave Sanctum (-3 AP): The Last Tribunal (Repose)
gain 5 ap
Weave Plane The Peak of Paradise and the Pit of Perdition. (-5 AP) (Repose)
Create Demigod (Artioa, the Black and White Warden) (-5 AP) (Repose)
gain 5 ap
Create Greater Life (The Sidhe): -3 AP (The North)
Form Society (Sidhe): -1 AP (The North)
Bless (Uplift the Sidhe to civilization): -1 AP (The North)
gain 5 ap
Boon (Melehan reincarnates fallen Oreads as new Narzions): -3 AP. (Cycle of Life)
gain 5 ap
Create Legendary Life (Psychopomps): -5 AP (Repose)
Current AP: 15
Would these be okay categories? With Azdan and Oenar sort of fading out of the picture due to stuff, Melehan stands to become the sole deity in the North (Steven T. Helt, if you don't want me to do this, please let me know).
Yaaaaaaay, sole deity! =D That could be interesting. Now we need someone in the South...
If I wanted to create a race that was super adaptable, able to physiologically alter its body(possibly its mind as well) to overcome challenges, obstacles and hardships, would that be Greater Life or Legendary Life?
I think Greater Life would be fine. ^^
Any critiques/criticisms of my latest grand post? I think I might finally be getting my crap together.
Always nice to see people taking a more active interest in the world. ^^ I think I'm about ready to start being more active myself... in terms of effect on the world. That aside, perhaps 'tis time to open recruitment again?
My posting may be sporadic for the next few days. My grandfather passed away last week and we're getting ready for the funeral.
just wanted to let you guys know I'm still here. I'm working on a writing piece for Kargoth plus another for one of my other games, so it's absorbing a bunch of my time.
