Heroica RPG General Discussion

[CMP]

There's around 20+ heroes out in Quests right now, the roleplaying will definitely pick up when at least the Dastan trilogy is over. That's 15 people right there.

Had you decided on this strength for the death progg before we entered the chamber? I am just imagining what would have happened if our fellows hadn't taken the meads.

If I seal him, it would only last for one turn, correct?

[Waterbrick Down]

One of the favorite parts of Skrall is that normal weapons are rather toy-like in his hands, thus a sword becomes a dagger, an axe a hatchet, so I envision his Hunter's crossbow as a one handed pea shooter and his Heavy crossbow built for an Ogre. I'm waiting for a smelling salt so Skrall can engage the enemy duel wielding crossbows.

The Death Progg's level and special attack strengths were fixed with very little wiggle room, but his HP would've ranged anywhere between 370 and 600 depending on how much mead/smellingsalts/nostrums you chugged.

EDIT: Also, hopefully I didn't make the death progg's second reveal (that he is a prince) too melodramatic.

TheBoyWonder- if you dare scare me like that again, I will deduct all your experience.

Really, that was scary.

[TheBoyWonder]

I told you I was going to scare someone this quest!

[Capt.JohnPaul]

*groan* Oh.. don't tell me you edited your post to turn the color red!

"THEN YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO DIE."

Someone likes The Dark Knight Rises.

[TheBoyWonder]

Yeah, watched it on Thursday, just had to include that quote, it was too good to miss.

And it's not red, red was so last character. It's brown.

[Sandy]

Sandy, would a pistol be counted as a handcannon if I rerolled a character using a pistol as his weapon ?

No, I'm afraid pistols are not viable to the setting of this game. And why do you want to get rid of Mizuki so early? There's already a serious lack of female characters in the game, it would be a shame to see one switched for another male...

It's up to you, of course, but no gunslingers, please.

[TheBoyWonder]

So happy I got chosen for this quest. They would not be getting anywhere in this interrogation without me!

Nor would they have any gold. You're an expert gambler.

Maybe Lycan is James bond....

No. James bond isn't as lucky with the ladies, or as good at scaring the living daylights out of people!

Reference on purpose?

Strange coincidence I think.

Did anyone get the meaning behind Lupus Dean?

No. Though for some reason I may figure it out later on.

[TheBoyWonder]

No. Though for some reason I may figure it out later on.

Lycan is short for Lycanthropy, which is Werewolf, Lupus means Wolf in Latin, my previous characters Luc and Leo, had a wolf.

See? It all ties up. Add the fact they all begin with L.

For Monk Pretzel's reference: TV Tropes Link.

Also, Doc, out of curiosity, did you use Hexographer for the hex battles? I've been playing with it, and it looks like a LOT of fun to work with.

[Endgame]

Goddarnit Pretzel stop undermining my big bad boss monsters. I spent an hour and half building and editing his pictures! :cry3:

No, but really, what you are posting is some really rivetting stuff. It's allowing me to develop the death progg farther then "rawr I'm king of the enemies you've fought i'm gonna eat u rawr."

No, I Googled for images with the words 'Hex Map', and I found a vector graphic of tiled hexagons. I put it together with the background from the map of Bric'Bay Fort and some Tolkien-style map brushes in Photoshop.=

That's now my favorite site to visit. Tv Tropes are da bezt!

I've learned from Wren and Loren that it's impossible to out-orate NPCs. From now on, Arthur will find other ways to display his wit and arrogance. :P

[Darkdragon]

Badger questies: My posting abilities very unreliable here in NYC, so instead of mangling the post I've decided to wait until I get home. Sorry about tthe unexpected delay.

[Myrddyn]

@Endgame: Just clarifying "You hear that, other heroes? This monk here is fine with letting me leave and come back, as long as he gets his paycheck! How noble! How holy!" - does that mean we can avoid the final battle, and still get the reward?

@Sandy and Zakura: What about flintlock pistols? Or Terry Pratchett-style pistol crossbows.

[Tanma]

I am going to have to destroy my old battle droids. Everywhere I look I see Chimera Guards multiplying snd resurrecting. All with hideous soulless eyes!
