Heroica RPG General Discussion

[CMP]

Before Fez came out, it and HL3 were commonly mentioned in jokes together.

Difference is we still don't have any proof the latter actually exists...which is why I compare it to your quest.

On the bright side, I don't believe your quest has been in production for over a year yet

Actually, I started building sets for Flipz's quest in late September 2012.

[Pyrovisionary]

Deus Ex remake? I think that's been in the run for a long while.

I too try to make quests but I have an awful attention span and am in a dark age of lego, so whenever I plan something I'll look at someone else's quest and want to copy that. But I do have something very simple in the works.

[Brickdoctor]

So...anyone want to run through the Fields again?

[Palathadric]

...Maybe when I get back...if there's no other quest to go on.

[Endgame]

Remember when I gave 3 options about what my next quest entailed?

Yeah, you can probably narrow it down to one now.

[Cutcobra]

...Maybe when I get back...if there's no other quest to go on.

My crystal ball predicts there may be a new quest in early february...

[CMP]

I knew it. Forget Strivvi, bring on the giant killer robots!!

[Quarryman]

Was just thinking it could be fun to do some necromancy in the Fields.

[Zepher]

I knew it. Forget Strivvi, bring on the giant killer robots!!

Strivvi II: Never Forget.

Just wait like two weeks. I think we're almost done with 91 (Kint, not rushing you, that's just the general feeling I've been getting from what you've been saying!) and then all the pieces will be in place.

[CMP]

Strivvi II: Never Forget.

The most logical thing to do is add giant killer robots to Strivvi. Are you writing all this down, Scuba?

[Zepher]

Strivvi II: Strive Harder (for Robots).

[CMP]

Strivvi II: Strive Hard with a Vengeance (Still for Robots).

I wonder what the banner for the quest is going to look like.

[JimBee]

Hm, I'd be interested to know the backstory behind this... seems Hybros' very first weapon has seen quite a bit of travel since Quest #7.

Reaper’s Scythe (WP:33, damages only humanoids; suitable to assassins only; scythe)

Hybros (played by JimButcher)

Level 1 Rogue

Power: 4

Health: 7/7

Gold: 0

Inventory: Reaper Scythe (WP:3), Potion, Venom, Shovel

[Flare]

What, you think that Hybros had the only Reaper's Scythe in the whole world?

[Kintobor]

Strivvi II: Live Free or Strive Hard (with a side dish of Robots)

[Flare]

Strivvi II: Been waiting for this one almost as long as Flipz' quest

[Pyrovisionary]

Which was meant to start last may.....

[Flare]

Bricksandparts, if you use italics for descriptions and non-speech related things in your quest, I think it would make it clearer to understand. I started to get confused between your posts and the other heroes posts because of that

"Well, the Water Canteen is largely situational, much like an item known as the Amulet of the Elven Horseman, which, off the top of my head, you offered another hero about 25 Gold for.

"The Desert Cloak provides immunity to three elements. The only item you're currently selling that also offers elemental immunity is the Unholy Armor, which provides 5 SP and immunity to two elements for 500 Gold. Based on the fact that the SP: 1 Leather Armor and Leather Cap are each worth 30 Gold, and the fact that SP: 2 Orcish Helmet and Sand Worm Hide are each worth 60 Gold, and the fact that the SP: 3 Knight's Armor and Tricorne are each worth 90 Gold, I'd say that the 5 SP component of the Unholy Armor makes up 150 Gold of its price. That leaves 350 Gold covering the two elements, which is 175 Gold per element. Multiply that by three since my cloak provides immunity to three elements and divide that by two since I know you have to make a profit, and the result is 262 and a half, call it 260, Gold."

Please let Fabian be extremely traumatized by this.

Also, in-universe explanation for the delays in the Tidings letters: the strain put on the Z-Mail wards, in combination with the unexpected reaction with the time-stop and deathward spells placed on all Heroica Heroes by the Veterans, created a shockwave of Etherial energy that backwashed through the conductive conduit, retroactively delaying the arrival of the remaining responses. This, of course, is why one should never travel through the Time Vortex without a properly-constructed sentient shell, and why the Regulus clan's Planeswalking draws energy from it but does not use it as the actual means of transit (even the Aoi's tech is vastly inadequate for the construction of such a shell, only magic on the scale of the Council of the Watchful Eye could even come close, and even they prefer simple pocket dimensions for their purposes).

Or it could just be traffic on the magical airways.

Also, I noticed the SP artifact trend in the market yesterday as well, but I don't think you've accounted for the fact that Fabian just doubles whatever an artifact's worth for those sold to him, Doc - 5 x 30 = 150 gold for the SP, and 50 for each gem, x 2 = 500 for his selling price.

Except Sandy already stated that 93 takes place AFTER the letters were sent--thus, the paradox has to be introduced via the unusual use of the V-mail system and also it's a reason to have the Time Vortex in Heroica.

Maybe the traffic is really bad.

If that was the case (and I'm not saying it isn't), then he'd be doubling the price per SP that was already the same as his other SP-granting artifacts, which means he's either quadrupled the price of SP for the Unholy Armor, or he's selling all the other basic SP artifacts at half price. I did account for his doubling of price; I divided the final price I arrived at by two. I just removed the cost of the SP first without multiplying or dividing it since it was already directly based on the selling price of other artifacts.
