Zepher Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Here is, in my opinion, where we should say "No." It's in interesting idea, but Steampunk just isn't my thing. Then it wouldn't be Heroica anymore. But if we keep it fantasy, I'm okay. Here's an interesting thought, one of the heroes is so lucky and has nostrums and loaded die and everything, that in the final battle, he doesn't get KO'd. I'm sorry, I'm just spit-balling. You're right, maybe steam-punk wouldn't be fun for everyone. I'm a Steam-Punk addict, but I do understand. Still, I'd want to see the landscape changed in SOME real way. Again, year and years away, real time. And yes! That would be the idea. I wouldn't want all the heroes to die. Just if you got KO'd, that would be it. It would add a real challenge to that final quest, and would let those who wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. When your character is playing for real permanent stakes... that changes the game. Boomingham would be way more likely to revive a friend if the consequence was them gone as opposed to not gaining half a level. And you'd also play the game differently. I always like seeing who comes out at the end of an epic fight in movies. The rag-tag gang is always more fun to see than everyone. Maybe one character would lose all their friends, and maybe Althior and Alexis would come through totally fine. It would be the ultimate final Role-Playing experience for the heroes to deal with real death, while still a majority of them surviving. Think Serenity or Game of Thrones. I still want to go on a Wren quest Zeph. There are four spots. Quote

Landscape changing- I totally agree!!! The world could be turned into a wasteland or something, or at the very end, a wizard makes us go back in time. Oh a better idea! Then when back in time, it is during the orc wars, and are new/old heroes were soldiers who fought against the orcs. My only problem is, I'd like to keep my old character. He wouldn't have to have the same name or level, but just his story be almost exactly alike. Everyone buy lots and lots of Phoenix essences! Quote
TheBoyWonder Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I love Zephs Idea for Steampunk Heroica. Quote
The Legonater Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Yeah, I got the hint, it's too bad, would have loved to have you around. You best come back for the final Wren Quest though! I definitely plan to! Quest 19 was the most fun I've had on a quest so far, and I wouldn't pass up on a chance for Dyric to come face-to-face with his arch-nemesis again! Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Endgame, that's a, um... very lovely sun you drew. Callmepie, that's hard to pronounce! Edited July 17, 2012 by Capt.JohnPaul Quote
Pandora Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Zepher, please can we have some better dice? Pwease? Quote
Zepher Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Zepher, I absolutely love Boomingham. Hehe, I do too! He's a lot of fun to play, and I actually know him at this point, which is really fun. I want to be a writer, and I've never spent a year with a character before, so it's been quite an exercise and experience. Zepher, please can we have some better dice? Pwease? We'll see what Orang and Amphibiannoc have in store for you. Quote

Speaking of writing, that's another way we end with a bang whenever Heroica ends in a very long time. Each quest is a different book. We had this discussion awhile back, it would be pretty cool. Or maybe each character has their own book? Quote
Rumble Strike Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I think Sandy has a lot of plans for the main Houses that we are yet to see. They post a lot about 'storylines' so I think the main narrative thread will continue for a while yet. Plus there are the great QMs with their ideas, and I have an idea I am working on, and I am also currently trying to brainstorm ideas for the conclusion of the Sorona/Haroka situation as I want to have a very solid idea of where I want it to go. Can't really wing an ending! Quote
K-Nut Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I've been bugging K-Nut for days trying to get him to post. I have the whole post written, I'm just too lazy to copy and paste it. Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I have the whole post written, I'm just too lazy to copy and paste it. And you wonder why your relationship is failing. Quote
K-Nut Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 And you wonder why your relationship is failing. Please, that's an in game relationship. This is just me torturing Masked and enjoying it. Quote
Endgame Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I'll have you know my depiction of the sun is the most accurate one ever created! It is a gorgeous work of art and should be treated as such! ...okay, I drew it with the circle and line tool and didn't bother fixing it... Quote

That actually is pretty clever. Quote
Jebediahs Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Is the damage dealt by the poisoned and badly poisoned effects affected by SP & row? If you're poisoned in the front row can you step back the next round to half the damage? Quote

Waterbrick Down Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 From my understanding, poison is always 1 damage and deadly poison is always 10 damage. SP and row are not taken into effect. This kind of makes sense due to the fact that position and armor wouldn't help you against something that is attacking you from one's blood stream. Quote
Jebediahs Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 That would not make any logical sense. I can write to make sense of anything. Quote
Endgame Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Hey, does anyone know what happened to LEGOman? His PMs, avatar, and signature are disabled. Plus, his status says "Mommy busted me and I can't play LEGO Mafia and Roleplay games anymore." Can anyone shed light on this? I'd hate to have to get a new player in 36 so close to the end and when Daxus was so active and contributive. :frown: Quote

We all should've believed Monk Pretzel when he said bad things will happen to thieves. Honestly, I don't know. What would he get "busted" for? Quote

Capt.JohnPaul Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 I have no idea. he was just on, but he just searched something for a little bit, then logged off immediately after. Now his status is gone. Strange. Quote
Endgame Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Now his status is gone. Strange. At this point, I may have to make Daxus as an NPC. Brining a hero in the aptly named "Penultimate battle" would be silly... Quote
