Proposal: Urban Clearance

s/k, failed by aaronwinborn

[ Cutting a lot of fluff out of the City rule, and wording the automagically unspecified “monsters must start in an outer region” mechanic in a workable way. ]

Reword “The City and Neighborhoods” to:-

The City has a number of Neighborhoods, each having a Name, a number of Buildings, a Population, and a Patron. This data is tracked in the wiki in a page called “The City”.

The Patron of each Neighborhood is a Kaiju God. If a Kaiju God is not the Patron of a Neighborhood, they may add a new Neighborhood to the wiki with a Name of their choice, and themselves as Patron. They shall then roll DICE10 twice in the GNDT - the first die roll is the number of Buildings in the Neighbourhood, and the second die roll should be multiplied by the first die roll to give the Population of the Neighborhood.

If a Neighborhood has zero Buildings and zero Population, it is considered Destroyed, and should be flagged as such in the wiki page.

If “Monsters may come from Limbo, but they don’t stay there” passed, add the following to “The City and Neighborhoods”:-

Three Outer Regions exist - these are Neighborhoods, but have no Patron, Buildings or Population. The Outer Regions are The Skies, The Sea and The Farmlands.

In the “Monster Mash” rule, remove the paragraph starting “After a monster is completed…”, if it exists.

Add a new subrule to “Monster Mash”, called “Movement”:-

Each completed Monster may occupy a Neighborhood - this is tracked in the City wiki page. If a Monster is complete, has three Attributes and does not occupy a Neighborhood, then any Kaiju God who contributed to its creation may change its location to one of the Outer Regions.

Any Neighborhoods with Population values shall have their Patron set to the Kaiju God who named them (which can be determined via the wiki page history). Neighborhoods still named after Kaiju Gods shall be erased.

I’m wary of tracking the Patron of the Neighborhoods.  We’ll have to be careful to make any rules giving benefits or penalties to the Patron of a Neighborhood balanced, especially since the bulidings and population are randomized.

I suppose it is a fixable mistake, but you’ve inadvertently changed the formula for the initilization by a factor of 10.

Excellent job cleaning up the language, though.

It was intended when I wrote the rules, that no Kaiju controlled a neighborhood in any way, but there should be one for each Kaiju.

The formula needs fixed back.

Before I read this, I made a post that let all makers of a monster have a say, but the initator of a monster (Kaiju who drew top part) makes the final decision. I s/k’d it since this seemed to fix most things already.

Everything else is good.

But against  until formula fixed.

Fair call on the numbers.

Patrons just seemed the easiest way to keep the number of neighborhoods more or less the same as the number of Gods, and to let each God name one of them. If everyone is against the idea of neighbourhood ownership mattering (and this includes me), then any proposal to assign a game effect to patronage would be voted down.

Self-kill, anyway, because we apparently get to do the annoying “repropose but with minor changes” thing these days.
