    Re: When the world was young... —David Eaton
   So, just cuz I found myself wondering today... Game rules quickie summary (I think): Things we're decided on: ===...=== - Tek Level 2 (Medieval) - April 27th, 2003, Jonathan's place - Shaun & Wayne vs. Joe & Jonathan vs. Dave & Dan & Jenn - 1000 CP (...)

        Re: When the world was young... —Shaun Sullivan
     (...) Hmmmmm. I'd been thinking 1000 CP per player ... do we definitely want to avoid this? On average, this would still come to at most 100 troops, assuming you had all regular troopers. Throw in heroes, horses, catapults, ballistae, siege towers, (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

      Quoting Joe Comeau <joecomeau@earthlink.net>: (...) Drat! Guess i better put these away then. ;) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
    
         Re: When the world was young... —Shaun Sullivan
     (...) Just to be a royal pain, I'd forgo this caveat altogether. 1000 CP per player. If other people decide they can play (Hendo ... where are you?), then they can add another 1000 CP as well. The unlucky team is the one that doesn't have as many (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

         Re: When the world was young... —Lindsay Frederick Braun
      (...) Wow. I've been watching the deliberations, and I only wish I could play. Nuts. Would someone please name a horse, a tree, or a ballista (or a ball of flaming pitch, if you're so inclined) in my honor? That way I can be there in spirit. best (...)

        Re: When the world was young... —Wayne McCaul
     So, Shaun will lose? Then, by association, Evil Wayne will lose. Evil Wayne cannot lose. Evil Wayne, who, apparently likes to talk in annoying 3rd person, will not simply stand aside and allow the forces of good-and-just to turn his team's troops (...)

        Re: When the world was young... —David Eaton
   (...) Hmm. I kinda think if the SP's come out of your team's rations, people will be less likely to go scattering cool objects across the board. Plus, people would know in advance what *their* items did and would be less/more likely to pick them up (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

          Re: When the world was young... —David Eaton
      (...) Works for me-- I had been thinking we could just have a CP pool for magic items, but this works just as effecitvely. Each team makes 5 to 10 magic items, none of which can exceed 20 CP? Sounds ok to me... Maybe we can play around with magic (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

          Re: When the world was young... —Wayne McCaul
      (...) I like the idea that all effect are still possible. Adds sort of a Schrodinger's-cat effect to the trooper who picks up an item. The only thing is, doesn't that mess up the point spread? You can't construct items if you're assigning random (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

         Re: When the world was young... —John P. Henderson

        Re: When the world was young... —Mike Rayhawk
   (...) Why not set it up with two potential effects for every item, one negative and one positive? When you pick up the item, a roll of 1-2 on 1d6 means the item is the bad version, otherwise it's the good one. That means no one will have an (...)

        Re: When the world was young... —David Eaton
     (...) Yeah, I'd kinda like to go this way more or less-- IE it's possible that 3 people bring gems (say) that all do negative things. Hence, people know "uh-oh, gems suck!"
