Re: Option for stripping off embellishment extra descs

Alternatively, how about adding options for sale that have special appraises? Example: [##] [Price Qty ] Item [ 1] [ 15 --- ] a pinch of fine spices (generic item, no extra appraise) [ 2] [ 16 --- ] a pinch of fine spices heavily favoring anise (item adding anise-flavored embellishment) Maybe just a...

Re: Exile and its Implementation

Problems as I see them and possible solutions: 1) Enacting an exile immediately pulls the target out of play. Instate a 24-48 hour grace period before the exiled is dropped in a holding room. This echoes deadly poison policy where PCs are given the opportunity to get in some deathbed RP or to arrang...

Include a name in Departure rumors?

I enjoy the simple notifications when characters are liquidated but sometimes the message is too vague. Since all the subjects have been "Departure" I'm assuming this is added automatically. If that is the case, is it possible to change it so it says "<character name>'s Departure" instead?

Re: Exile and its Implementation

I support the idea more RP-supportive options of supplementing PC forces. Other recent changes, such as requiring an IC Event notice or a rumor if you liquidate, underscore the game's focus on story. A few changes and additions would keep the exile command powerful without risking abrupt ends to ong...

Option for stripping off embellishment extra descs

Or, "All my bacon tastes like licorice." Is it possible to code in an option for removing special extra descriptions from items? I really like the system but there are times where the appended information detracts from the finished product in my opinion. The example I'm using is fine spices. Let's s...

Re: [Poll] Plot Staff

I voted Maybe. There are definite benefits to having dedicated staff oversight for plots, foremost among them being continuity and coherency. But I worry about encouraging a culture of players who wait for Someone Else to Do Something, rather than encouraging more pro/active roleplay. Especially sin...

Re: See door durability and/or lock difficulty

MV is the mechanic we use to show a PC has invested some time or effort into something. I believe there was similar explanation behind adding MV cost to foraging or plant tending. 'freebie' information that helps you decide whether or not you're going to risk breaking your arm feels exploitable. I l...

I prefer making it a visible action over applying a random MV cost, but that's just me.

Re: See door durability and/or lock difficulty

How about appraise/inspect exit <direction> or something? Maybe takes some mv per attempt, so it's not too easy to case a joint?

I'd suggest it pull from an appropriate skill but maybe that's overcomplicating things too much.

Re: Maiming

Tattoos (permanent items) restrung as scars for missing fingers and hands, hooks and peg legs work for providing visible clues for RP partners; the onus is on the maimee to incorporate their injuries into RP. Temporary stat reductions for working overs that fall short of crippling or removing. Could...
