Hi guys!

I'm the person who came here a while ago with the idea about a Greed Island-based game -- I've been writing up and revising a bunch of stuff and I think it might work better (and be much more appealing to non-HxH fans) as a more generalized original MMO style setting.

That said, here are some of the elements I'm pretty sure it's going to include:

- Nexus style sandbox: no major overarching plot, although there might be event chains and there will be quests available for characters to play out. The quests available would change every month, and might involve serious/action stuff like hunting down bandits or monsters as well as funny/cracky stuff like volunteering as a guinea pig for a mad scientist (for a set of weird temporary effects) or classic Obnoxious Fetch Quests. Characters get a "teleport ring" that can transport them to the game and back to their home world.

- No CRAU: the nexus style doesn't play well with CRAU unless we're going to open ongoing game crossovers with every game someone apps a CRAU from, and ... you see the problem there.

- Limited setting: island split into regions corresponding with different standard fantasy tropes (the "magic" region, the "wilderness ranger" region, the "physical fighter" region, etc.) with some kind of in-game transportation or teleportation mechanism to allow characters to easily interact.

- No network: a snail mail system run via IC inboxes, notice boards in each town, all other interaction is in person

- No humanization (optional size-down for characters who are normally 60 feet tall), powers capped to weed out the "I CAN BLOW UP THE WHOLE PLANET!!" stuff but otherwise not nerfed

- Quick resurrection every time with no death penalties, except that all of your clothing, armor, weapons, and anything else you were carrying will remain with your dead body (which withers down to a skeleton instantly, WoW style) and you have to loot your own corpse to get your stuff back... sometimes under the nose of the big scary thing that killed you, whoops. I know the "no permadeath" element is controversial, but I feel like in an ICly voluntary game with no IC real-world rewards, very few characters would be willing to run any risks if they know death is real and permanent. OOCly, having no permadeath or death penalties also encourages people to throw their characters into risky situations or get into fights with other characters.

- PVP elements: you can snipe and steal shit from other players because the items stick with the body.

- Freedom for characters to make big impacts on the game world: blowing up parts of cities, killing NPCs, etc.

- Some fun, cracky stuff: characters who die wake up wearing Bermuda shorts and ugly Hawaiian shirts, special holiday quests and decorations, cute humanoid animal NPCs, and so on.

(Commentary on the above ideas is highly welcome!)

Here are some things I still need feedback on, because I could go either way but have no idea how they might play to the DWRP community in general:

- How detailed should classes be? Should it be left to a handwavey "you can learn to do stuff like this in these particular places" or should there be a specific hard-wired list of classes with different abilities and bonuses available as levels go up? Or something in between?

- How detailed should leveling-up be? I was considering a Ryslig-style system where everyone gets a level up for meeting AC, and bonus level ups for higher amounts of AC, but that would require the more detailed class system and could bake in some annoying "you have to be in the game X number of months before you can do anything cool" issues.

- Should AU and canon OC characters (I'm not talking "Harry Potter's long lost twin sister Demonia Starlight Raven Potter" here; I'm talking more "OCs made based on WoW or tabletop settings") be allowed?

- Should there be some kind of IC reward system, and how detailed should it be?

- Should all the quests be things that players can actually play out step by step with a mod working as "GM" (playing the monsters, providing NPC dialogue and random events), should easy quests be left up to the players with the epic ones requiring step by step playing out with a mod GM, or should they all be left up to the players? Should mod GMing be an option for quests that are left up to players?

- Anything else you can think of you'd want to see or especially want not to see in a game like this?

no, i want people like you to stop fishing for asspats and cozies

if you really have mental illness, you're not going to reduce it to a fucking oppression card. people who do that trivialize it, and invariably they're always lining up for spots in the oppression olympics

This literally is reading like you're telling da to take op's idea for themselves simply because of some non-issue such as the gods not being fleshed out to your liking.

Ain't it the whole point of Game Ideas to throw essentially a rough draft into the air and see what kind of response/reaction it gets? 'cause it'd make sense for the idea to not be 100% fleshed out and asking for more opinion advice to go from there.

i don't know anything about what's going on, but i'm just sort of in awe of the phrase 'spiritual womb trauma'. i don't know why.

"he's an icky whitie because i say so, wah wah wahhhhhhhhh"

why should latino people have to prove they're latino enough for your approval, hm?

lbr there is a 75% chance she and pearl had fused before the answer so she prob knew what ruby and sapphire were going through on some level.

like we've seen rose a total of... what, four times? we still know very little about her, and the accounts of what she was like are coming from people who would have very valid reasons to idolize her (though out of all of them greg's seems to be the most down to earth depiction of her).

seem to be only a small road bump considering how much he worships and idolizes her still, and the implication that they fixed those issues pretty easily.

but idg your problem with this, if they weren't able to fix this problem they wouldn't have stayed together and steven wouldn't have been born. the whole point of that episode was to show rose wasn't the flawless goddess people remembered her as, and you think it's bad that she was able to change and commit to a serious relationship?

Adding to the neko atsume pile. The Room trilogy (3D puzzle games with a mildly lovecraftian plot). Candy Crush Soda Saga. Monument Valley.

Me talking about my mental illness isn't fishing for anything, and if people want to pat my ass, that's on them. If I talk about it it's to outline how fucking hard life is because it sucks and please don't pretend and shit like that.

Silence caused me to suffer. This way, I can find people who are similar, we can share coping mechanisms and we can deal with life instead of feeling isolated and stuff like that.

Suffering in silence doesn't make you a martyr or better, it just means you're suffering largely alone.

where are you guys in memes or psls? this warlock is getting lonely here.

Ingress (immersive alternate reality game that assigns 'portals' and points to irl landmarks; there are two teams that compete for the greatest number of portals and links between portals. To play you walk around, earn items by visiting portals, then use them powering up or capturing portals. It's a lot of fun. Go Resistance.)
Neko Atsume
Townsmen (simcity meets farmville)
Rise of Berk

The thing is that a lot of people only have one of those. Support network? No working medicine or insurance. Insurance? No support network you can easily fall back on that's consistent enough to count, and the medicine is probably restricted because you're probably poor and can only get the cheapest and most generic of anything. It sucks.

Doesn't mean it's no hard for you, but no, it's not a competition.

So literally anyone talking openly about their mental illness is... Reducing it to an oppression card for you?

do you have a medium preference?

just admit you want your ass patted, idc beyond a basic human disgust but don't try to pretend you're doing anything noble

i'd rather suffer alone for a thousand years than be a scumbag manipulator feeding off of people's ableism guilt and pity like you

when you do it on a public space where you're guaranteed to be petted and coddled by mindless sycophants, yes

especially when that public space is tumblr where everything boils down some kind of -ism at the end of the day

I have a few Guardian OCs exclusively in PSLs and a few canon characters who I'll be throwing into memes every now and then.

is there?

I haven't looked at it because I've been occupied with homework assignments but I wish them the best! I'll definitely hang around if they can figure out a way to pick it up again.

oh please, a bunch of us wanted murder to be relegated to extreme obscurity

don't pat yourself on the back for what was clearly a group wanking effort

did your blm rally let out early today, la'shonda?

i'm not cliquey so much as selectively prioritizing my threads because my mental problems make it difficult to concentrate, so i only keep tagging with who i find most engaging

which i guess makes me cliquey anyway, oops

you're just mad that a latin@ told you to stop being a piece of shit
