Was the original god of storms anyone important? Otherwise, I could let it go... :P And Safey, who are you talking about? Because anyone who has god status can attend a Godsmoot. Whether or not anyone listens to them is another issue. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. Posts: 4130 | Registered: Friday, March 26 2004 08:00 |

The weather balloon RP should probably make an appearance, and I really like Dintiradan's siege idea. -------------------- TM: "I want BoA to grow.

Which is completely acceptable, really. I'd like to get a nice, quick RP rolling for once... MoS was the last good one, and it was only finished with several month-long gaps in it. The trouble is everyone starts writing novellas after a while, and then people stop participating in a timely fashion. MoS only worked because the players hit a very strong collective vibe very early on, and because we really, really, really wanted to finish the thing. That's why I liked the Avernum Reloaded RP. People were participating, posts were usually fairly short, didn't guess too much about others' characters, and posts were frequent. Then TM let a bunch of rakshasi loose and everyone dropped before a few of us could put together a reasonable plan. Sadly, this is why I think Legends of Divinity can't really work that well at this point. Characters have come and gone, there are too many really long posts mixed in with short and stupid posts. Players have popped in and out (I am part of this problem, as is ET for other reasons), and it's developing gaps worse than anything MoS ever had. This is also why I think the Down to Earth RP didn't take off... far too much exposition, too many limitations to let the new people prone to powergaming in (thankfully some of them can be saved before going insane, as Zephyr's character Caecus in MoS did). It would've been cool, but it was too limited to attract anything but the more experienced RPers with more real-life time commitments. Anyway, a Dikiscript-esque RP is the last thing we need here. That would entail lots of short, insubstantial posts with too much meta-gaming. Zero exposition (how would we pick an opening narrator), nothing at all to stop powergaming, and people would get angry and lose the group-mind far too soon. My two cents, plus interest. -------------------- TM: "I want BoA to grow. Evolve where the food ladder has rungs to be reached." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Unless you want to try and play semi-realistically, there's no point to it. Though that's an interesting idea... play through a game and make sure your characters are adequately equipped, even if it means bringing junk items. Also, this topic has one of the best titles ever. -------------------- TM: "I want BoA to grow. Evolve where the food ladder has rungs to be reached." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

I'm honestly not sure we have enough reviewers at this point in time to merit a thumb system, as interesting as it sounds. I'm personally not sold on it, even if we had the numbers to make it worthwhile... I am also of the "Don't like it? Write your own." school, if only because it's so difficult to get a substantial number of reviews anyway. As for the actual scoring, I kinda like Aran's strengths/weaknesses idea. Might be because that's how a lot of my Lyceum reviews read, but yeah. I like it. There does still need to be room for a textual review and the classic "random number between 1 and 10" score, though. -------------------- TM: "I want BoA to grow.

Now, Brett's Rubric is nice and all. And it's very thorough. But if we had to slog through something like that just to review a scenario, I wouldn't bother. I give the rubric a 4.5, because it's very detailed but completely unplayable. -------------------- TM: "I want BoA to grow. Evolve where the food ladder has rungs to be reached."

I for one am personally psyched beyond belief by Jeff's policy of releasing for Mac first. It's one of very few companies that do it. quote:Actually, yes it is.
