Heroica RPG General Discussion

[xxlrocka]

Are you two serious? Is this your idea of good roleplaying? Talking to your "alter ego" instead of the other players like you're supposed to? Not to mention that you're both basically just copycating Althior and Boomingham, only with different font colors.

I think I talked to the other players a couple other times.

[Myrddyn]

I have a question for the newer players (excluding Flipz, who I know the answer to):

Do you go back and read ALL the old quests, or do "older" heroes occasionally (or often) reference quests or events that you flat-out don't know about.

Do I read all the older quests?

Well, I've read 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 19, and I'm currently reading 4.

So, not all of them, about a third. But I plan on reading them all eventually.

Do I not know about quests that are referenced by older heroes occasionally?

Well, thats why I read the Wren quests.

[Flipz]

Duh, everyone knows that nudity is worse than all of those things combined.

*Must...resist...urge...to...HULK SMASH!!!*

Yeah, the general hypocrisy of that sort of position really irritates me. If anything, nudity should be on the low end of the scale, not the top. (I know you're just being sarcastic, there, though. ) In any case, this isn't really the place to depate such things.

Try talking to the others more often. Formulate plans, battle strategies. Comment on what is being found in the mansion, not just inside your head but to the other party members. Speculate as to what this stuff means. Pretty much the only person doing this consistently is Myrddyn.

Yeah, Quest 4 is indirectly a part of the Wren mythos, because it introduced the Lion Knights. Quest 17 is the sequel dealing with Quest 4's end, so I would recommend reading that next. Quest 20 also has ties to Quest 17's events, but it isn't majorly linked.

Wait, what?!

Or do you mean Quest 30?

[Zepher]

How does Quest 20 tie into Quest 17? I'm afraid Quest 20 is not one that I'm too well versed in. I too should probably one day go back and read a few of the Quests I'm more spotty on.

I'm just asking because at this point, if a new player were to join, they would have 32 quests to read to catch up. That's a lot, and it must be interesting to these people who didn't live through the quests to go back and see them after seeing them mentioned. For example, to some players/spectators who are newer to the game, Gurnam and the Maa'ri ranger may be totally new characters, whereas "veteran" players would know them and understand Haldor's interaction with the latter.

Either way is interesting to me, also, which is cool. One way the Maa'ri is a returning character who we cheer to see again, and the other way, you learn something new about Haldor, and know that there is so much more to the characters (as is true with real people) than meets the eye.

This is exactly why I wanted summaries for each quest, but everyone back then did not want it... As for the returning characters, thats why we have an awesome NPC index .

[Rumble Strike]

How does the Asleep effect work? From the description it says you wake up if you are attacked OR roll 1, 2, 3, or 4. But 5 and 6 are damage (being attacked). So how do you stay asleep?

If you are asleep, then you can't attack, and therefore not roll damage or special damage, the roll is not an attack roll, but rather a wake up roll. If I understand it correctly, that is.

[Rumble Strike]

Right, got it now. Thanks Scuba!

[Tanma]

Wait, what?!

Quest 20 ties in because De'kra and Arthur kept sending each other messages about the siege at Quest 17. It isn't really a part of the mythos, but it offers some side information and a different perspective.

[Sandy]

Exactly, it's a wake-up roll. The sleeping hero can get attacked for example by a Free Hit or an area-of-effect special, and wake up because of that.

Oh, wait, I remember. Quest 20 Missing Minerals. The Journals between Arthur and De'kra.

Honestly, I'm having a hard enough time keeping up-to-date with the present quests, but I'm succeeding thankfully. Most of the quests that were going on when I joined I also read. I do intend to read all of the past ones at some point, or at least fly through them. Sometime when I've got a lot of time to kill.

I've read all of them since the begining, why quit now?

Should I consider giving this game an R-rating?

Didn't it already have one?

[K-Nut]

Should I consider giving this game an R-rating?

Nah, just give Chapter #27 an R rating.

[Chromeknight]

Nah, just give Chapter #27 an R rating.

What about half naked Haldor roaming the hall or Thormamil?

Or Sarick or Nagure, although they're not human, they're still naked. Or Skrall who at the very least is also topless. Namyrra's not human either for the record.

Finnegan doesn't wear clothes either, but does that mean he's a naked aura? What does that even mean?

Where does all this nudity end?

And no, I'm not being serious, nor do I have any problem with nudity, non-human or otherwise.

[Waterbrick Down]

I'll have you know, Skrall is wearing a very nice leather jacket made out of orc capes thank you very much.

[swils]

Hey now, Thormanil pays special care to keep his unmentionables out of harms way which, fortunately for the more innocent members of the Hall, means that they remain comfortably in his slacks! The rest is just eye-candy, and the other heroes should be thankful for such a treat!

[JimBee]

To members of Quest #29: How are you feeling about the pace? I know I update more than once a day, but I don't want to advance the quest too quickly. For situations like now, all members of the party can participate, there doesn't have to be just one person talking or doing an action.

The pace is excellent. It's just one of the things I'm enjoying about the quest.

[Darkdragon]

Some heroes like to stay clean

[Brickdoctor]

Is the first picture of the bathtub in Q27 also the first appearance of Modulex in Heroica?

I think so (nice piece use, darkdragon). I wonder who will be the first to use Duplo.
