Re: Age Disability

A young character will take multiple IRL years to reach the age threshold. Between bodyguards, rank, game knowledge, and social capital, someone with an active character old enough to hit that threshold is already very entrenched and very hard to realistically touch. This is mixed into a situation ...

Re: Age Disability

Well, again this could be a use for my idea of using skills to retain them- but just applied to age-related skill loss, giving a way to keep them with regular practice. Except that idea (and that thread) doesn't address the idea that people literally don't have the time/interest to spend all their ...

Re: Use it or lose it

If people are thinking combat characters need a challenge, perhaps lower when those age impacts start to hit from 46 to something younger. My only concern here is that encourages folks to start their chars as young as possible (which is already pretty common) to avoid that. Personally? I think we s...

Re: Use it or lose it

I think the idea has potential to help with retention. For older players, maintaining the skills important to them will give a reason to play, and will seem more fair to new players if old players have to maintain their skills, and not simply be better than them despite never using the skill anymor...

Re: Use it or lose it

During a time we are actively looking to encourage playerbase growth (or return), I'm not sure is the best time to introduce a system that could in some ways both "punish" those who chose to keep playing (unless they chose to artificially focus on their skills rather than RP) and punish those who mi...

Re: Color Suggestions 46 color mode

I was reading the recent OOC Meeting log, and had an idea that maybe color restrings in chargen, or even outside of it and in the game, should be restricted the 16 basic colors -- leaving the new colors solely for the merchant guild. Has anyone else also been thinking about this? That heavily presu...

Re: Color Suggestions 46 color mode

I'll toss out my personal suggestions as:

CAB and DAB - Some nice red shades for all those Inquisitor types.

Otherwise I might suggest filling in the others with some pastels for various uses:

BDF, DDF, EDF, FFE

Re: Color Suggestions 46 color mode

I love the choices but yeah something (at least with the post) seems a bit off. Just want to make sure where things stand now before making suggestions.

Re: Color Suggestions 46 color mode

IMHO given the existence/use of bronze in jewelry, etc we definitely need some options for orange as well. (Also pumpkins or carrots!) Just as a thought, if we expand to using numbers as well as letters we could probably get a bit closer to the spread in the pic I posted and I think we'd have a pret...

Re: Color Suggestions 46 color mode

Just to ask the potentially controversial question could we also use numbers?

But I can come up with some suggestions. Just for comparison do we have what Xterm code the colors we have now are?
