Notes from Mod Isaac Send a noteboard - 26/09/2013 03:56:19 AM

First thing right away, this game has stats and has the RPS system, everyone got a list like this, with 0-2 as values for the first 4.

Wit:
Combat:
Stealth:
Magic:

Morale:
Place of Birth:
Race:
Defense: Choose Rock, Paper, Scissors

Morale is you starting 'power pool' basically, and for Defense you need to send into me, via NB, a choice of Rock Paper or Scissors (RPS). That will stay fixed for the entire game, though some things can change it. We've used RPS a few times before and it gets discussed generally here but we've changed it to these current stats.

Essentially many actions in this game will call for choosing rock, paper, or scissors when sending in an action. If you win you add 1 to your score, if you lose you subtract one, tie equals 0. So if you are attacking someone with a Combat of 2, who has a Combat of 1 themselves, your score can be 1, 2 or 3, and if you lose ties then there's a 67% chance you'd win. Same if they have a 2 and you have a 0, you just won't win. Though there are items and powers throughout the game that can boost scores, lower scores, etc.

So needless to say you don't want to be telling people your stats, and definitely not your Defense RPS selection. You're also all named characters, major or minor, from the books so you probably don't want to causally drop your name. That's all up to you. You can look your character up at Discworld Wiki though if you haven't read the series I'd be a bit wary of possible spoilers.

EBWOP: And Undead (Vampires and Zombies). *NM* - 29/09/2013 06:54:34 AM 930 Views
I'm only up to Pyramids, thus far Undead haven't been common in Ankh-Morpork. *NM* - 29/09/2013 06:59:32 AM 1020 Views
Maybe it's more accurate to say that they aren't uncommon. *NM* - 29/09/2013 07:56:17 AM 901 Views
Well, they even have their own bar in Ankh-Morpork - 29/09/2013 12:18:27 PM 1668 Views

I did. - 30/09/2013 08:02:59 PM 1784 Views
Hah *NM* - 30/09/2013 11:16:03 PM 924 Views

EBWOP: The victim, that is. *NM* - 01/10/2013 02:43:17 AM 1017 Views
I can confirm that. - 01/10/2013 04:00:22 AM 1607 Views
Well, that basically settles my speculation then - We're up against the Hippo League *NM* - 01/10/2013 02:33:41 PM 1011 Views
Except the pamphlet was on the victim. - 01/10/2013 06:46:18 PM 1615 Views
Or it could have been a calling card? *NM* - 01/10/2013 06:48:30 PM 922 Views
Huh. That's a good point. - 01/10/2013 07:20:17 PM 1635 Views
Who knows. It could also be completely unrelated. - 01/10/2013 10:25:22 PM 1655 Views
Re: Who knows. It could also be completely unrelated. - 02/10/2013 10:04:41 AM 1654 Views
