BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

My biggest problem with this proposal is that people need to plan their moves based around when the starting location is

it also just seems less fun, and weakens placing an ingress a whole lot

I would be somewhat disappointed to have my one contribution to the map outright erased like this.

I think part of the gameplay is dealing with Ingresses moving to interesting places. Obviously, I’m somewhat in danger as a result of the move, but this is the sort of thing I have to live with (and this may well have been an intentional move to attack my Sepulchre, as there were no other easy ways to get there).

Grand Sluice was chosen randomly, although I’m sure that Brendan and Clucky made a note of all the interesting possibilities when they made a self-destructing ingress in Forgotten Corridor, but it’s hard to call this really targeted.

If it’s bad news for anyone, though, it’s Bucky; at the moment Richardo cheesegraters himself over Grand Sluice two or three times per run, with slender odds of escape…

sure but there are two rooms around it people can add to help deal with that problem. and even more around the underwater cavern that can help him completely escape.

I think the rules are robust enough we can at least give them a chance to fix this problem

Put it this way: I foresaw placing “Richardo moves to a random location” effects as one of the best ways available to attack Sepulchres. lemonfanta spent much of her Puissance on Secret Passage Maps recently (and they did indeed have the desired effect of attacking Sepulchres). The “random ingress” is just another way to do that.

I’ll have missed any Slack chat, if this came out of something there: what is this proposal meant to be addressing?

Nothing more than the a grand sluice being a somewhat unfriendly place for Richardo to pop out

Note that Richardo doesn’t suffer the effects of the starting room unless he moves out and back in.

I just noticed a typo in this proposal that means that it doesn’t actually amend the rules; there’s a typo in the text you’re matching to determine which part of the rules get changed, so it can’t find any text to append to and doesn’t work.

That typo is actually present in the ruletext (I copy-pasted it) but given that I can correct typos in both the ruleset and this proposal freely, I shall do so. Thanks!

Having said that, Creature Feature is going to make this unmatchable, so s/k.
