  Re: When the world was young...
 
(...) 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...
 
(...) Well, I'm a total newbie when it comes to comprehending the technical details like CP here. And maybe this idea has already been brought up. Correct me if I am wrong, but the problem is that we want magic items that get tied to the unit that (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
 
  Re: When the world was young...
 
(...) 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...
 
(...) 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...
 
Alright you people have way to much free time at work so I'll post something quick before I get to far behind. Summary: -Each team has ten magic items (number them one through ten) -30 suitcases (small container) are placed on the field randomly (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
 
  Re: When the world was young...
 
(...) 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 (...) (22 years ago, 10-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

  Re: When the world was young...
 
(...) 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!" Originally I had a whacked out, but intensely random concept whereby: You (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)

  Re: When the world was young...
 
(...) All right. At the end of the day, we're going to need to lay out some step-by-step instructions as to what each team has to provide with respect to the random magic items. I think we've all got a handle on how the teams' starting magical (...) (22 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.org.us.nelug)
