Anyone play PnP Strategy Role Playing Games? There's one that I'd like to show..

[geniussavant]

I'd be interested in it

So... are you going to PM me? IM me? DM one of these games? Join as an adviser on the game I am playing in? Join the 'spillover' city in the game I am playing in?

Sorry, like quite a few of the others, the operative word is Time... I'll take a few levels in Chronomancer, and then it will all be good.

RULES OF THE GAME (DIFFERENT FROM FIRST WRITEUP)
ACTIONS
-Die increases and decreases should give a more detailed formua: d3 then d4 then d5 (atypical, but OK) then what?  Note that most people would need specific die rollers for nonstandard dice.  (Standard being d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, and d20)

-"nations specials" seems like it should be "nation's specials"  Also, does this mean I can make Berserker-Engineer-Mages?

-In general, make the interface for categories more distinct.  Sample

MAGIC
Subheading
Other Highlight

-Magic: Can my mages simultaneously do one magical research project and some "big magical effect" at the same time?  It seems so!  Intended?

-"Note that mages can not be trained in this manner unless your nation possess the 'Magical Potential' specialist, and you will need to find another way to acquire new mages in game."  I don't understand this compound sentence.  Should the and be there?

-VIP Technomancers: Are these just experienced Technomancers?

-"Basic priests have not mystical powers..." I understand what you mean, but that's... awkward to hear in English.  "No" sounds better here.

-"High priests are better at all priest actions."  I think you meant to say, "A High Priest is better than a normal Priest in all priestly actions."

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
-Mention research as an action before you mention research actions.

-"Knowledge of the techniques necessary to make chemical explosives.  This is a difficult alchemical technique, requiring lots of resources to be useful." Just change the sentence as so.

-Road Crews mentions "+1 Act."  Do you mean "+1 Action"?

-There are no mention of buildings for Mages, not even Universities.

SPECIALIZATIONS
-What about overlap when it comes to areas of magic?  For example, if you wanted to make a biofuel-powered machine (using the spheres system), this seems like it's a Plant ability and a Machine ability.  And since everything takes place over time, why not declare everything as a Time ability?

Hmmm, that looks like the rules my GM is working under, not 'my' rules...

If you want to read MY version of the rules, read this:

I'll answer what I can, based on what I know of my GM's game

"VIP's" are people who are especially good at something, on a large strategic level.  Like your head researcher, who might have "+1 researcher", who provide, due to their awesomeness, give you an extra 'act' when you do a research action, and they happen to lead said action

-Road Crews is +1 Act.  That means that when you spend an ACTION (choice of what to do that season) on building roads, you get an extra ACT (a unit of progress) when making roads.  Several other techs are also implied to give +1 act at doing them... but this is not outright stated.

-The building for Mages, I believe, is the 'Hermitage' or Monastary

-The GM isn't using the spheres system for the game he is running

(I've the same time excuse)


But there does need to be something to do
with the rest of the {workday minus 5 minutes}.

Wotmaniac was talking about Intra-Party
dynamics on a different thread.
I've mentioned a cut version of Mafia Wars
and Farmville ... not that I know them at all.

idk what this is just yet, I've just started reading stuff.

I'm posting this because I'm more curious about still being one of the top posters on this board.

[veekie]

Apparently a private message was sent to pretty much everyone on the top page of the memberlist, sorted by postcount. Which I'd like to add, we'd prefer to discourage such means of getting attention.

It won't happen again...

[bhu]

omg X-Codes is back...

[X-Codes]

Fuck, I've been seen!

[Gavinfoxx]

So I want to double check and ask: Does no one want to see the private text that is my thread in the game, to see what Canjowolf's game looks like? To do that, you would have to officially join as a player, and be an 'adviser'.  Anyone interested?

[Gavinfoxx]

Hey all! I found a GM willing to run a new one of these games, so if you want to get in, check this out:

Also, he's looking for co-GM's as well.

This has a very "Birthright" feel to it.

Which is cool, cause I liked Birthright.

So are you going to apply?

At the moment I'm going to have to pass unfortunately. If the noose loosens up, I'll see if I can squirm into another game.
