This seems really interesting and I would be interested.

Make that two for Victorian

I am good for just about anything. That being said I will not play as a teletubby rofl.

Ooh Ooh Victorian Teletubbies!

I kid of course. Alright, I think ima go Victorian. So how are we on Steampunk/Tesla Punk?

Most Likely For steampunk / It is Decidedly So for Tesla punk.

Action - "I try to land the biplane now"

8 Ball - "Don't count on it"

What is the difference? I have never heard of Tesla, so to google I guess. All that being said I cannot even remember all the possible answers in a magic 8 ball lol.

Isnt it just a D4?

What, yes no maybe ask again later? Wikipedia says 20 possible answers suggesting a larger then obvious die or multiple dies in the ball.

Different balls have different answers - the original one had 8 sides, later ones used more less sides depending on what it was made for and who made it.

One is steam, the other is electricity. Granted since it'd be Tesla-punk it wouldn't be strictly the technology he actually worked on. There might be stuff like 'Mag-Lev' trains that don't go on rails, rather levitate over ley lines. As an example.


Pretty sure the one through the dice roller uses 20 answers. That's the one I'd be using for the game anyway. Speaking of which, if any moderators are watching this, is it actually possible to configure the diceroller to only use the 8 Ball?

Worst comes to worse write up a list of answers, and roll, improvised list woot!

"It is certain"

In other words, yes, it is possible, just like setting any other kind of special roll to be the default.

Turns out you can configure the dice roller to do it :D

Alright, so one teensy last question: Rating... What do you guys think. It's very difficult for me to run a game that's not adult, but I could see it for this particular one depending on what the people want.

In reply to steelsmiter (msg # 23):

I'd be quite happy with mature or adult.

I would not join at adult.

Afraid I too am withdrawing my interest, but not because of the rating.  Just haven't as much time as I thought.

Well, like I said, for this one I could actually see a non adult rating. It just depends on themes we want to explore for what the rating will actually be. There's the more dark social commentary victorian, and then there's the lighter 'oh neat! look at all the gadgets'.

I wouldn't mind either one. If adult is more comfortable that is fine with me. Some people will not join adult games no matter what though. It's really up to you.

I feel your pain, I would love to hand off a game to someone, it might get deleted though. Right now I do not think I can run a second game on top of everything.

As for age rating, I really do not care, just depends on why it would be defined as adult I guess.

In reply to Merevel (msg # 29):

Not for any particular intended content, rather the ability to avoid worrying about censorship.

I can live with that. Right now in my pokemon game I almost went adult. But I felt mature could handle my intent well enough.

I prefer to let players imaginations fill in the gaps so to speak.

Well, at the moment I'm researching victorian lingo to incorporate into the mix. Still there's potential for enough to slip through mature's probably good enough.

Sorry it's taking me so long to work up the game guys, I'm trying.

take your time, it will mean you are more likely to stick with it.
