Story Post: Pre-Dynasty round table chat
Ok guys, I figured before I start my dynasty I’d pass on what I want to do and what you guys think will help out. I want to base things off of the gameplay in the old moster rancher games on playstation, with just dragons. I was also thinking to have a tournament after a set time to find our next winner. The green background color has caused me some trouble with finding my mouse, with it always changing to type icon lol. I’d change that, the header and the veto icon but.. um… I have no clue how. Anything dragon theme would be cool.

This comment is so I get comment e-mail alerts lol
Bucky:
Do you want each player to have
A)One dragon
B)A fleet of dragons
Similarly do you want the players to act
1)Alone
2)in factions
Darknight:
I was thinking one dragon to raise up before the tourny and i think acting alone is best but I’m open to any ideas you all have
Bucky:
Should combat be
A)Strategic, interactive?
B)Strategic, non-interactive?
C)Nonstrategic, deterministic?
D)Nonstrategic, random?
arthexis:
I think every player should be one Dragon. I don’t know if I like the idea of a tourney, though. A strategic model would be fun in my opinion.
Amnistar:
One dragon would make sense, we’d need an idea of statistics to track in the GDNT, using the monster rancher guidelines we’d have a set of jobs based of various stats that increase stats by a random amount, some jobs easier with lower gain, etc.
I would say instead of having a tournament at a set date, allow for each player to enter tournaments once per set time period, first to acheive S rank wins?
Darknight:
Bucky, A.
I think attack,defense and health are needed stats for sure. I like amni’s idea on how to win but never hurts to hear from everyone.
Combat I think is gonna be a build as we go thing.
Amnistar:
Oh and for those not familiar with the Monster rancher games (or those that are and what a good laugh) read this:

It’ll give you an idea of the system, as well as a fun story.
Darknight:
I get a bad link.
I don’t want to base everything off of the games mind ya lol
Bucky:
I’d like to suggest something based on the duelling rules from the First Dynasty of Rodlen. Each combatant secretly sends the Head Dragon a maneuver from a list. Then either one of them loses directly (e.g. dive-bomb straight into a fireball) or the Head Dragon rolls DICE based off a maneuver-dependent stat.

My bad, first link was an accident ><
Darknight:
amni, thats funny indeed.
And I think that would work bucky
Oze:
We could make use of the COLOUR roll in the GNDT, and different coloured dragons could have different properties.
Amnistar:
Do we have a list of all COLOURS in the GNDT?
Oze:
I was trying to look for one. Kevan should know.
vostibackle:
Could someone please unidle me?
Darknight:
I too was planning on using the colour roll. On a side note, I forget how to unidle people. Can one of you guys get vos and spike unidle?
Darknight:
I’ll prob post my AA later tonight after I get back home.
Oze:
I have unidled vostibackle and spikebrennan.
Darknight:
Epic header.
Qapmoc:
wow
arthexis:
If the idea of colored dragons is ok with people I’d suggest not having many different colors (something between 4 and 6 makes sense to me) and have each color have a specific benefit. Initially a player must pick one color and can’t change it, but there might be some way to change it (maybe a powerup?)
Qapmoc:
Question: is the GNDT staying green?
Darknight:
Can the GNDT go orange? And 4-6 colors sounds right. I’ll do a roll up for 5 colors. Love the site colors btw to whoever did them.
Darknight:
The colors I got were purple, blue, green, silver and black. Feel free to change any lol.
Bucky:
There’s also Magenta, Turquoise, Orange, Yellow, Red and White.
arthexis:
Issue with site colors: the edit button doesn’t show up for posts, that’s gotta be a pain in the a$$ for admins. Can anyone make it grey , red or orange?
Darknight:
wiki needs a slight update so my dynasty info gets saved lol
Oze:
I am the culprit for the first ‘greeny’ header and the second ‘black and orange theme’. I made the edit link white.
Tell me if this scheme is too dramatic.
Darknight:
It looks great
Oze:
With the black background you’ll have no trouble finding your mouse cursor.
Darknight:
lol thanks
Darknight:
just need to change the veto icon now to something dragon theme
