Hey styg, know you're busy an all that, but do you think there's any chance we could get some if not all the wonderful, claustrophobic, cluttered, or downright mystical songs that permeate the areas in this game? One that come to mind are the caves just south of SGS, which have some pretty good ambiance to them.

Suggestions / My beef with 'psychokinesis.'
« on: August 03, 2013, 07:56:20 pm »
So, 'psychokinesis', a name which makes little sense to me considering it has to do with projecting physical attacks, has the description of
'the ability of the user to project mechanical attacks, as well as emit electrical currents and project electromagnetic fields'
Which is bull. The first part is fine, its all well and good, you can use psi powers to project your fisticuffs, but the electrical currents and electromagnetic fields part is where my beef resides.

Which brings me to what my beef is: 'The hell do you mean emit electrical currents and EM fields?'. When I built my first psi character, I saw that and was like 'electrical currents? electromagnetic fields? hells yeah! i'm gonna be shooting lightening at fools!' I was sorely disappointed to have sunk 15 of my precious skill points into psychokinesis, only to be punching people from far away, which in of itself is cool as hell, but not shooting lightening from my fingertips by a LOOOONG shot.

Don't get me wrong, it's a fine school of psi powers, but the description is just misleading, all I would like is for it to be changed to something closer to the truth. I mean, its not a stretch to say 'the ability of the user to project mechanical attacks, as well as emit psionic armor and produce walls to block the enemy.' Which is EXACTLY what the class does.

Sure, you can do that weird shield thing, and the psi wall thing, but thats not electric currents, nor EM fields. For one, an electric current wouldn't do jack shit to block a lead projectile, it would only make the bullets both shock AND put holes in you; for two, an EM current wouldn't do that either, nor would it block toons, like the wall does, because lead, which is what bullets are made of, is NOT magnetic.


Thanks, Jeff.

Suggestions / BACKFLIPS AND UNICORNS AND BROADSWORDS!!

OK OK not those things PER-SAY but a dodging mechanic, like how in say... Dwarf fortress, someone fires a bow. an arrow isn't SLOW its not a speeding bullet either. so you have a (low) chance for it to miss, and a (skill based) chance to dodge away like the awesome Neo-Esque bad-ass you truly are. something like that based on how fast an attack is, like melee and far away-ish crossbow shots. things like that

and not unicorns PER-SAY but somekind of mutated wildlife that are more iconic. sure theres the rathounds and the burrowers, and the cave hoppers. but what else? the fallout universe had brahmin, bighorners, deathclaws, cyotes, radscorpeons, giant spiders, AND the newest one, new vegas, has added a ludicrous amount of plant life as well, PLUS a huge amound of enemy HUMAN factions, raiders, the masters army, powder gangers, the legion, the NCR, etc. and then theres still the securitrons and whatever else robotic. and thats just one game! this game is a mash up of 15 other sub genres and takes from so many more in spirit, you'd think there were more than large rats and evil slugs to pump full of lead.

and not broadswords pe- actualy broadswords is good! becauase i was gonna say something in between a GIANT SUPER SLEDGE  and a dinky ittsy bittsybaby boo little knify wify and a broadsword fits the bill pretty ok! i mean the other weapon types are well fleshed out. the guns have high powered sniper rifles and dinky baby 9 mill pussy guns. the psy powers have mind rape, then SUPER HOLY FUCK SHIT ASS OH MY GAWD IM MEEEELLLTINGSMAAAAAAASAJSASHDBSH... come to think of it the psy powers could use some balancing too... hmm.... anyway thats my ideas.

« on: February 02, 2013, 05:13:25 pm »
it appears the forum has a pretty bad bottfestation i found out about the accountlist feature; the first 3-4 pages are accounts that have bogus websites and contact information, and are all !abdjflskjbfa type deals. just to let you know.

Other Games / Forum game : Random rpg, now with more betterness
« on: January 17, 2013, 10:11:38 pm »
Hello and welcome to IGT with me! Jeff. in case, you know, you couldn't read the name tag or anything. so, just to lay down some rules here's a list.

1:!!FUN!! is happening. as it ALWAYS does. we could discuss the !!SPECIFICS!! of !!FUN!! on a later date. but for now, doen't worry about it.
2: i am the DM here. that means i have secondary ruler-ship over the thread. Styg has the wheel, i'm holding map. if someone particularly pisses me off, then so help me, i will open the can of verbal woop-ass and apply elite liberal justice!

3: this isn't a damn college course of Norse/Slavic/pre-Jesus history, its a forum game. great discression on the part if the viewer is needed. There WILL be inaccuracies, there WILL be miss spelled things, and there WILL be liberal levels of meta shit going on. its part of the atmosphere, embrace it!

5: DON'T CORRECT ME! EVER!


---------------------------------------------
now that, that's over i can lay down some game rules


1: submit a character profile like this

NAME:

AGE:

SKILLSET:
you can now put points (5) into any of these given skills!
cookin'
wrastlein'
fightin'
cuttin'
bashin'
hackin'
shootin'
archerin'
each should be self explanitory, cuttin is fighting with edged weapons, bashin is fighting with blunted weapons, hackin; with axes, shootin; crossbows, etc.
RACE:

START GEAR:



axe + chainmail
or
sword + chainmail
or
bow + chainmail
or
tools + bag

---------------------

any given stat  with any number of points, you dont HAVE to choose a the 'appropriate' pack as your starting items, you could get the tools, bash a bandits head in, and steal HIS sword! its free flow story here!
----------------------------------------------------

ok so more than likely everything about this topic will fly under the radar and no one will do anything here, but on the off chance that you do somehow find this and enjoy it, then holy shit im famous. but other than that, this will be illustrated with MS paint and awesome stuff will happen (mabye)

ok! so i recently had a falling out with my girlfriend that has left me in a veritable PIT of self pity, tears, and not a small amount of hard liquor. i don't really know what i did, or how it happened, or even why i did it, but now my significant other has just become my 'other' she won't SPEAK to me, she won't TOUCH me, she won't be AROUND me, and she can hardy even LOOK at me! halp!
