03:12:56 syv: Would seem logical to run spessgame on account of it being numbers, while Extinction is prose.
03:13:10 syv: Ascent is additional prose, so you'd have two games in the same genre.
03:13:20 syv: Outside of that, I'm more interested in Ascent.

03:58:18 Devastator: aight, numbers it is.
03:58:46 Devastator: really, I think the rules are about 80% ready. Just need the map and to decide how many teams to go for.
04:07:58 syv: SMAC, right? Been too long for me to remember what those people represent.
04:10:18 Devastator: engineers. Just a stupidly good player running a bit of a fun game.
04:10:35 Devastator: do note that guy is insanely good at SMAC.
04:11:26 Devastator: but yeah, I think it's about 80% ready to do space game.
04:11:29 Devastator: you think four teams or two?
04:15:51 syv: I don't know enough about it to say.
04:16:11 syv: Two will be easier and more likely to succeed, unless a "team" is totally reasonable to do solo.
04:16:25 Devastator: it pretty much would be, yeah.
04:16:48 Devastator: the worry is people dropping.
04:17:45 Devastator: but ok, 2 it is then.
04:19:26 Devastator: I'll get the map together this weekend, and then I think it'll be 90% ready. Probably launch it in January.
04:19:41 syv: I could always run a team myself~
04:20:03 syv: Honestly there's a good chance I'd enjoy that more than sharing one of two.
04:21:41 Devastator: worried about player absence in Dec.
04:21:48 Devastator: I might have an OP to let teams form.
04:21:59 Devastator: if it fills up, could do four.
04:22:33 Devastator: oh, heh, forgot about this pic.
04:43:29 syv: ...Did he ask to pay the player?
04:43:49 syv: Was this him getting into a war he really didn't want to be in?
04:44:07 Devastator: Morgan was trying to ask the player for a bribe.
04:44:25 Devastator: He successfully extorted a bribe of -50 bucks.
04:44:39 syv: Yes, which would be him paying the player, no?
04:44:46 Devastator: and that's what happened.
04:45:23 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
04:47:32 Devastator: Do you want any help with combat mechanics or stuff?
04:48:12 ER: First phase, weapons fire. Roll under 80 to hit by default. On hit deals damage to enemy's hull mass, or to core mass if there's no hull.
04:48:12 ER: Damage for each weapon system = weapon system's mass + d4. Added damage increases based on on how advanced the weapon is.
04:48:12 ER: Additional systems or upgrades allow weapons to target specific systems, roll under 50 by default.
04:48:12 ER: Next phase is other systems. Who knows what they do lol.
04:48:13 ER: Final phase is engines. Allows for FTL escape or decreases enemy hit percentage. 1% per engine system mass.
04:50:10 Devastator: Dang, that's impressive.
04:50:38 Devastator: I'd probably add an extra weapon bonus if you have something well-matched, like a mass driver doing orbital bombardment.
04:51:17 Devastator: really, it looks good.
04:56:16 Devastator: It's also reassuring.. I was slightly worried we'd just like 'you hit shadow, lol' with the tech level difference. ;-p
04:57:24 ER: well, engines don't do anything first round
05:04:58 Devastator: (roll to end the game.)
05:05:56 syv: I kinda want to return to that Sekiro combat system I made, and make a game running off of it.
05:06:03 syv: Not that I have the time for an actual game.
05:06:57 Devastator: is Roll to Quest okay? I think I'll move you on next turn.
05:07:03 Devastator: I rolled for your tank,
syv.
05:07:08 Devastator: I'm afraid a 6 isn't good enough.
05:07:31 Devastator: but I think I won't update anything tonight. Save it for tomorrow.
05:08:24 syv: I mean, I like it enough to have gone wandering off to the side to find something neat.
05:09:17 Devastator: I suspect you simply couldn't ignore a cars-esque take on tanks. ;-p
05:10:31 Devastator: but yeah, don't want it to drag on, so it's probably time to get back in the wolf-saddle.
05:10:39 Devastator: who doesn't do the whole riding thing.
05:10:40 ER: we live for lore on the cars world
05:11:02 syv: Yeah, if recruiting a tank failed, I'm out.
05:11:12 syv: Asides, maybe, from accomplishing their task if they gave one.
05:11:18 Devastator: 6/12 was probably not enough.
05:11:32 syv: I think Xin can abuse a loophole of assisting Rolla's quest to get out of assisting a tank.
05:11:33 Devastator: I can shoehorn requesting tssk into the next turn.
05:11:37 ER: give him a dumb quest so that rolla can goof around longer~
05:12:14 Devastator: take a long time, go to the next area, it's all fine.
05:12:53 syv: I do wonder what the backstory on Xin is.
05:12:56 ER: I forgot, is rolla at any risk of ever dying from old age? :p
05:13:24 syv: Since his backstory doesn't sound like he's from wolfland, he's presumably already traveled a lot, but it seems like there's only one path out of wolfland?
05:13:27 Devastator: How big did you calculate the ringworld to be again?
05:13:41 syv: Don't think I calculated that.
05:13:45 Devastator: Yeah, as per lore it works that way, but I'm okay with there being workarounds.
05:14:01 Devastator: maybe there's like teleporters or the Power that Be move people about from time to time.
05:14:22 Devastator: but yeah, lore-wise it's a one-dimensional world.
05:14:34 ER: xin accidnetially used a homeward bone and went somewhere he hadn't been for thousands of years
05:15:49 Devastator: or maybe Xin arrived via colony ship.
05:15:56 Devastator: or space travel of some other kind.
05:16:01 syv: Then I'll assume when he got sent to wolfland, he checked the nearby area, saw it was cars and not knights, and thought "Nah fuck that I'll take my chances with the dogs"
05:16:31 Devastator: next land's desert.
05:19:16 syv: I guess that's why you talked about resources and us not needing to manage them to survive. ;P
05:19:44 syv: Fuel would probably be a concern if Xin *did* talk a tank into joining on our adventure.
05:20:27 Devastator: I'm not going to worry about that until things get strange.
05:20:36 Devastator: so you'll be fine in the desert.
05:20:45 Devastator: at some point I might introduce some of that.
05:22:50 Devastator: also, the cars get some more fuel from the desert. ;-p
05:23:00 Devastator: (they have oil in their own lands too.)
05:25:04 syv: Please have the cars being imperialist Americans, occupying the desert to extract oil.
05:25:39 Devastator: pshaw, they're RDS instead.
05:55:02 Devastator: also
er, are you jojoing it up in end the game?
05:55:31 ER: no, I'm just using Stand as a general term which may be worse ;p
05:56:46 Devastator: well, the only goal there I have is 'be the most murdery character possible'
05:57:04 Devastator: I think knight wants to formalize things after a few turns of rando RTD.
