Heroica RPG General Discussion

[Scubacarrot]

I don't know if you are having a bad day or something, but your behaviour is getting obnoxious. Please knock it out before anyone takes offense.

You are entitled to your opinions, but please don't present them as the One and Only Truth.

If anyone is offended, I apologize, not my intention. If I present something as the one and only truth, I am not (100%) serious. The second thing you are quoting was clearly a joke, there is no way to play a game wrong. If you enjoy it, that's great. Often it's even more fun to not play certain games as intended, and I do enjoy breaking games, if you will. I am not bashing on anyone that enjoys the fields or anything, I'm just saying, it's not for me, and I wouldn't like to be obligated to do them in order to keep up with others, but for the rest, it's all good.

No bad blood anywhere, everything's fine, with me, anyways?

[Flipz]

Scuba, I present this video to you and anyone else interested in the issue, and then let's drop it.

My final thought: Doc, Pie, and Sandy are all masters of this.

[Dannylonglegs]

I'm a little confused as to how or why Sorrow is in an extra fight... but I assume it will be explained?

I don't think it needs an explanation, but if you want one, look over any of his Quests.

What is this Heroica player's obsession with Tv Tropes. I've seen like 4 links to that website today!

It's amazing? It's like Rick-Rolling but you're trapped all day!

Seriously though, I've been compiling a list of tropes to which my villains comply that I plan to post at the end of the Quest.

It's a very relevant video.

[Brickdoctor]

First, let me just say that I find this discussion not offending, but hilarious.

Actually, I would not be opposed to the proposition of non-Guardian Fields enemies dropping nothing but consumables. I'm in it for the XP, and there's already the opportunity to trade GP for some very decent loot. The Fields are for players who just want to do battles and level up; and any loot dropped by enemies is just a nice bonus.

And contrary to popular belief, I do now have ideas of how I want to roleplay my characters (I didn't when I started playing.); I just choose not to do it with Docken. I do plan to do more roleplaying and less min-maxing with my second character.

I will freely admit, my character idea for Carly Swift didn't really blossom into what it is until I saw Flare's NPCs. My roleplay guide for her basically reads "what would Flare do? + sing parodies of the most awful pop culture songs possible".

...aaaand now you know where I got her name. Was going to wait to do that. Ah well.

I think he was referring to my quests.

Speaking of which, despair, 48ers! The time for a new round of the battle to be run has cometh!

Yes, but mixing QMing with player experience... I don't know, not really a fan.

And from this I have learned that there are only 2 combat systems that I enjoy.

1. Heroica. Because It's the thrill of the roll of the dice. It's exciting to see if you rolled special damage or Shield. Whenever I'm on a quest I usually wake up to see that the Qm has updated the battle and I look to see how I did and I excitedly scroll down and whatever. It's like christmas for me...

2. Assasin's creed. I Don't know why but It's awesome.

I can see that Flipz's quest is going to be awesome.

...? I'm a bit confused as to what you are referring to.

Who's Carly Swift?

"This show just got interesting."

"Erm, forgive me for asking, but...who are you and why are you judging MY show?"

"Are you batty, old gnome?"

"Halfling--"

"Whatever. I've been singing here since Grogmas, after a chance encounter with a heroic force led from my life of hopeless poverty to my meteoric rise to stardom!"

"Whoa-whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...Didn't even have to try; I'm always a good time! Whoo!"

"You know me, Pike-man, my man! They all do! I'm the greatest star Olegia has ever seen! I'm....Carly...Swift!"

"...oh dear..."

Ladies and gentlemen, Carly Swift.

Oh, and for the record, Carly HAS indeed been around the Theatre since Grogmas, there is at least one Hero who has had an interaction with her around that time.

[Cutcobra]

Who's Carly Swyft?

Carly Rae Jepsen + Taylor Swift= Carly Swyft .

Oh, her! That makes sense now.

You're in for a surprise if I ever QM you.

I was thinking "I, Carly," but that works too.

~Insectoid Aristocrat

[Flipz]

Ooh, if Jun equips that Noble Mask, does that mean he'll gain 108 Gold at the end of the continuous battle?

[Cutcobra]

Now I just can't stop thinking of "Hey I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, Z-Mail me maybe "

I would QM one day but me and maths do not get on.

Think I've got a slightly better revenge card in my hand, but I won't be able to play it until my third or fourth Quest (due to having to set up NPCs and story and mechanics and the like). And unlike most "QM revenge schemes", mine will not only be revenge, but it will actually be mechanically fair and necessary AND will make perfect sense WITHIN the storyline!

...that and mine will make all parties involved incredibly happy; they will get their megablocks kicked, and they will ENJOY and be GLAD it happened.

I would QM one day but me and maths do not get on.

Me and maths get on fine, I just don't have the time to build.

[Pyrovisionary]

I have created my second character in Lego form already . Absolutely pointless seeing as I doubt I'll ever get to level 50.

I am ok at maths and have all the time in the world. But No camera

That's what roommates are for! I don't even remember how much Lego I've put on his poor Camera.

Good idea, though it won't be an NPC who gets any gold. :P

I suffer from all three; plus a lack of bricks.

You forgot "immune to all damage". What's he drop.

See, that's what I'm saying. Not a fan of random "hey, this guy deserves an extra fight because of his QM style", but rather "this guy deserves an extra fight because of his QM style... here's how it makes 100% sense in the story" should be employed. But I don't know how Flare did it, so perhaps it was motivated.
