RP General Discussion

I kinda get that. So the combat sequence entire would be composed of several smaller fights, but it wouldn't be a matter of slugging out damage until one person goes down.

I'm guessing we'd choose our abilities/powers based on whether or not we're better at massacreing a small group in a single roll or something along those lines.

Well, it would require a bunch of adaptation, but I would imagine powers would be somewhat less formally described than at present.

I can definitely see that. The shift would be more towards the game as telling a story, than the game as numbers hitting other numbers.

Yup. Well, there are always some numbers as you need some measure of conflict resolution, and reacting to something that failed is as dramatic as reacting to success, and the element of uncertainty plays out well there.

But the numbers can also get in the way, and anything that makes things easier to run these days is a good thing.

I also feel that, as players, we've gotten less descriptive with our actions based on the whole 'just make the roll' mentality.

I've just never been very good at describing stuff like that myself.

Rand, just make the roll.

Jordan. Update. I'm bored at work 😛

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in a galaxy far, far away from a long, long time ago! 😄

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Sorry for the inactivity, Retro players. I'm starting finals and hardly have a moment to sleep between studying, class, and work.

You're alive!

Sounds fun (except not really).

Totally a reasonable request! I'll do it tomorrow.

My first fight. Please give me pointers if you think I need them.

Alright, holidays are here. Busy with work but school is out. Will be trying to update regularly.

No birthday wishes this year? Tsk tsk, guys...

You already got them elsewhere, nerd.

Anything planned for us for Sithmas, Rexy? Or are you going to just wrap up 2011's slow-mo gift?

What's Sithmas?

Sithmas is what we call Christmas. Usually Ush (and sometimes myself) does something cool for the players.

That being said, Merry Sithmas, everyone!

I don't have anything planned this year since last year's gift is... ongoing. I'll try to get it moving again so that we can wrap it up and get those points doled out.

What'd everyone get this year?

Haven't done all of our presents yet, but so far I got a new PC gaming headset from my brother, a really cool tea set from my sister, a very pretty bracelet from my manager, and a little bunny and a Gundam model from GK <3 My mom also managed to hide a Guild Wars 2 gem card in my stocking without me noticing - which amuses me as I'm the one that put the stockings together this year.

Also, I have today off work (my only day this week) AND I'm getting paid for it anyway, so that's nice 😄

I know GK got some cool stuff 😄
