Heroica RPG General Discussion

[CMP]

Princess Leia, apparently. Suits her more than any defined expression, in my mind.

Dang, that face is way more rare than I thought. How the hell did I end up with two?

[Zepher]

I also have a strangely high number. Sometimes I give the other NPCs that face and chuckle to myself...

Also, Flipz, just to make it harder on you, Wren HAS gone through a costume change, and I'll be excited to see if you can figure out why and how when you read the quest. It actually relates to her character and development, though it's not a clue for the future, just a fun in-joke for myself and people who pay too much attention to my quests.

...did you use that piece I suggested months ago?

[Zepher]

No, sadly I still don't own it. Besides, this piece serves a very minor story point. It's like an easter egg for those of us with too much time on our hands.

I swear I only got one set it comes in, yet I have two...

Awesome quest so far WBD. It looks just as, if not more promising than Quest 11. There are so many different elements of gameplay coming together really well.

[Flipz]

SUCCESS!!

...in someone else's Quest. Well, I needed the puzzle-solving exercise, if I'm ever going to pitch that almost all-puzzle Quest...

That is one great game and the puzzles are so fun. If I want to be in your quest I better start practising.

[Flipz]

Protip for all puzzles, ever: if there is a physical aspect to it, building a quickie physical mockup is IMMENSELY helpful.

EDIT: I had my first Heroica dream last night! I was Arthur, and I was in a tag-team Arena duel, me and Cinna against Thothwick and Thormanil. The problem was, none of us aside from Cinna had updated our stats in months, so as we remembered the loot we had gotten and sold over that time, different attacks and gear started poofing in and poofing away--and then the Arena Masters started changing the Arena rules mid-battle. Cinna was not pleased. At one point, Thothwick and Thormanil had apparently kept swapping the Bright Armor back and forth, one second thothwick had it, the next Thormanil, the next BOTH of them somehow had it. The battle ended when both Thothwick and Thormanil suddenly remembered that they had given away all their equipment to William Harkenshire, and Cinna and I obliterated them.

My first heroica dream was about me, for some reason, fighting in quest 26. I was fighting and then suddenly the bard comes in singing a stupid song and I throw up. Then I fall in a pit thing and I land in front of a spider who attacks me, when suddenly I explode and so does the spider and the bard, who had apparently fallen in with me. Then i arrive in quest 31 and instantly find myself dying at the hands of some enemies. Then I land in the hall and my dream ends there.

[Brickdoctor]

My first Heroica dream was when I dreamed that I was browsing EB and found that Farmer MacDonauld had given me Mythril.

"Noooooooo!"

You're unlikely to go on a quest when you don't even have a suitable weapon.

[xxlrocka]

When I got a PM from rumble strike, I knew I would be picked.

[LEGOman273]

You're unlikely to go on a quest when you don't even have a suitable weapon.

"I do have a suitable Weapon. I have Draken's Fire (Longsword). The Raider Crossbow is for when I become an Assassin."

[Rumble Strike]

I know it's frustrating but I did want to take out another raft of newbies. You guys have already had at least one chance to go on a Quest. I hope you guys understand.

Makes sense to me. Interested to see how a quest will go without a healer or any ranged attacks.

[Scubacarrot]

I don't see the problem, if the battles are adjusted for that

[TheBoyWonder]

I feel like withdrawing from the arena battle, as nothing Palathadaric can do bar a critical can hurt me.

[Endgame]

That ancient dragon just won't die.

Imagine if you had to fight the entire battle with no rest breaks?

Holy-! Fift steps to cross one room?! Just walk straight across the first plank, jump to the next, jump to the end! The gaps are only 2 studs or so! Your leg is that length! Jump, man, JUMP!

The room was last occupied by a magic wielding pyromaniac that left a parting curse upon the room summoning an ethreal miniature black hole that increased the force of gravity in the room 2-fold negating the ability there after of any inhabitants to jump while occupying the room.

A sensible explanation.

[Zepher]

Another reason to not like mages.

On a side note, Flipz, perhaps in the future it would be better to PM the QM your solution. I think the idea remains that the heroes must complete battles/puzzles without outside assistance, SO if you want credit for solving it, maybe put it somewhere that the players can't get to it. I assume that your solution relates to WBD's quest, as none of the others seem to be in puzzles, but I want the fun of solving it myself or not at all, so I can't check.

If you're referring to the video link he provided, it is not the solution, not to my knowledge at least.
