ShogoMaki on War of Hearts Rework

Mon, 15 Sep 2014 16:45:59 +0000

Hey, so War of Hearts is going through hopefully it's finally rework and it looks like it will be that way as well. While I'm changing, adding, and removing things I would greatly appreciate any feedback that way this can all be done at once. I created a specific thread (here) for this discussion. I've done a little, but enough to show how things will be going to start.

New Stat System.
The stat numerical wise has been greatly reduced to fit KH more. Where people started with 40 total starts they now start with 15. MP is more in line with KH1 with starting numbers being 2-6. While not exact it will make mages more accessible. HP is now 20-40 instead of near 100 so also more KH. Starting stats are now determined by class as well as stat growth. Traits will be staying so members can customize stats that way. One other big change is agility is now removed. While not part of KH statically, it was somewhat determined by the player so I added it. Agility was a somewhat complicated system so having it gone should greatly help. I'm hoping lower numbers, no agility, and less %s the stat system will be more accessible.

Classes.
Classes have been simplified and expanded. There are now just 3 classes, fighter, defender, mage. Rogue is gone because agility is too. Specialization are removed as well. As they were, they served little purpose once I took out the proficiency system so removing them helped a bit. The expansion comes in as they now have more offensive abilities. I originally took them out because I wanted members to make custom ones to fit their character. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the custom ability system, but now each class will have about 10 abilities. All now actual KH abilities, or based off them.

Weapons.
These will not be as uniform as they were. Exactly how I'm not sure, but all weapons will stay with possibly losing light armor since it was based of agility. I may also add a second weapon for mages, possibly wands, so they have some choice. This is still very much in and air and will come later, but just keeping people informed for any ideas they may have. The main thing is not all weapons will have as many options and more expensive based off cost. I'll probably have a system of Weapon Stats xX = munny cost so that there's a balance there. Custom weapons are already available through synthesis.

Abilities.
I'm a huge can of making custom abilities, I have a website full of custom abilities, mainly jutsus. I've probably spent more time on them than actually roleplaying so I brought that to WoH, probably unfortunately. For now, I'm going to be removing custom abilities until I can come up with a system for when people can make them. That is the reason why I've added offensive abilities from KH to the classes and possibly elsewhere. Advanced abilities will be gone for the most part as it was mainly stuff I made up based on FF classes that KH characters fall into.

There's more, but I don't won't to clutter this post anymore. I would greatly appreciate any feedback, especially those interested in rping KH, because I'm not just making the site for me, but for all of you as well.

Sure! I have to write an essay for school tonight, and I need to make a reply over in Eternal Gaze. After that I'll post a mini design doc.

I'm happy to hear that you're interested!

More or less along those lines, yeah. If you're looking for a more specific example, I'm taking a lot of beats from the Wizardry, Might and Magic and Ultima series, namely the older ones. Form parties, explore dungeons, fight monsters, but with the added kick of a message board RP so there will be character development and storylines going on that aren't being run by the mods. There will be events too, of course! In addition to standard dungeons there will be special events that can reward powerful artifacts or legendary classes that can only be held by one character at a time. There will also be party-to-party conflicts (or even conflicts within parties), especially over said special events!

Basically, I'm really hoping to create as balanced a game as I can that will please as many people as possible while still having the unique vibe that only those old games had.

Sounds really good I'm not familiar wuth dungeon crawlers from the 80s/90s but love recent stuff like Diablo and Dragon Age. Is it something along those lines?

Hello all!

This is a brief interest check for an as-yet unnamed fantasy game I'm working on. It is based heavily on old dungeon crawl computer games from the late 80's and early 90's, updated to be fun and accessible to the message board RP crowd! It places a heavy emphasis on character customization; As of right now there are six racial classes, six base classes, and you can even take levels in multiple classes to unlock powerful advanced classes, of which there are currently 12! Wiith an ability to switch out classes as you master them and continue gaining levels as long as you want to, the potential is nearly limitless. There is also the possibilty of more races and classes being added to the game before the site opens, and even in the course of play.

I've tried to break a few of the typical fantasy molds without simply flipping and reversing the old tropes, and hopefully have created a fun, unique take on some old ideas. If you are interested or have any questions, please feel free to post in this thread! I hope to have a system and the introductory adventures ready to go within a month, depending on how much time I have between work, social life and classes. Mostly I'm just wanting to gauge general interest at this point.

I'm starting a very rough recontruction of Eternal Saga using IPB software.

Right now it's pretty bare, as I'm still getting the hang of working with IPB themes as well as trying to find a theme I like. I have one there right now that's fairly simplistic and could be good as a skeleton to start putting content up. Quite a bit of content was completed with the old site back on CPN, so I have plenty to work with.

The IP Content feature really makes the software a lot more robust and RPG-friendly than you'd initally believe. It's a relatively new feature and one that's pretty kickass if I do say so myself. Let's you easily create pages right into the theme that are easily accessible via the nav.

So I suppose if you're interested you can bookmark the page and watch any progress I make. And if you're that interested, badger me if it seems like I stop.
