Proposal: Point n’ Click

Times out 2-7. Failed by Brendan.

Create the following rule, called “Storage Room”, with the subrules “Items” and “Inventory”:

Each Zone by default has a subrule called “X Loot Table”, where X is the name of the Zone. Loot Tables are never Zones. Each Loot Table contains a list, which defaults to empty. Each entry in a Loot Table’s list is referred to as an item and must be in the following format: “Name (percent)”, where Name is the name of an Item and percent is a number between 0 and 100, non-inclusive. The sum of all percents in a single Loot Table may never equal more than 100.

Items:
The following is a list of all Items which may appear on Loot Tables and in Inventories. Entries on this list must be in the format “Name: Effect”, where Name is a term which describes the item and Effect is what that Item can do. If there is ever an Item which is in a Loot Table or an Inventory which is not on this list, that Item is removed from wherever it appears.
Flashlight: No Effect
Toolbox: No Effect

Inventory:
Each player has a publicly tracked Inventory. An Inventory is a list which may contain a list of Items, and defaults to empty.

 

Setting up a framework for a major mechanic: each zone will have different loot tables, with different reasons to go there. For the most part the pre-filled items are just placeholders until it’s clearer what mechanics there will be for them to interact with.

for It’s kind of pointless until someone implements a way to actually roll for items, but I still think it’s a good framework.

That was my whole intent. I wanted to make sure it got into the game, so I didn’t want to wait until other stuff was established, but that meant I didn’t have anything to directly tie it to yet.

On the fence. Cool idea but it could get extremely complex, making it crunchy and housekeepy. Not sure whether or not that’s what we’re going for this dynasty.

Actually, CoV against - every rule and subrule having a subrule called Loot Table is going to make the ruleset unwieldy - I’ll take a crack at something similar though.

against Yikes, you’re right, Josh. The idea is actually pretty great aside from that I think
