BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Not super against this mechanically, but if you think about the lore I’ve set forth, it doesn’t really make sense for a bunch of greedy realtors who just paid their soul to get into a contest for loads of money to work together to try and sell houses.

If you can provide some solid lore reasons why they would, I don’t have any problems going along with it.

Teamwork makes the dream work. You can sell more houses with friends than you can on your own, and then when the time is right you can stab your friends in the back as well.

Alright, fair enough. Seems reasonable, but as per the recent discussions on discord firms should definitely not be made too strong.

Is this the public pooling restriction? If so it should probably just include that, with a mantle-pass stipulation and all the other bits and bobs.

this is intended to be an avenue (heh) for pooling, yes; but given the open discussion around pools and mantle passing I don’t want to include any of those stipulations here

I’d personally rather see this work as a “you work together until it becomes optimal not to” rather than a “you work together until the end because you can win together”

I think I’d rather mechanically discourage pooling than encourage it. Personally I feel like this could easily end up as “you keep working together because you have developed a certain inertia and suddenly going solo isn’t likely to improve your situation”. The more mechanically important it becomes, the less likely people are to ditch firms. Unless we build in some kind of system that progressively undermines them the more powerful they become, which could actually be interesting.

This is fun stuff, but I’m going to try to steer away from exercises in team-building this early on, in line with redtara’s comments.
