Ok, tried this last week and fell short by one player, going to try one last time!
---
Trying this board out for the first time and setting up a mini-quest that will eventually become a more refined quest!
Looking for 3 players to test out how it plays. First 3 to respond that they want to play will be Red Player, Green Player, and Blue Player, in that order. Do a 5d5 roll on your opening post, it will be your starting HP.
The goal is to escape the dungeon (land on the box where the yellow arrow is on the map). You do not have to kill anything to escape and win the game! However, if you leave the dungeon too soon, your fellow players may have a much harder time escaping themselves.
Movement:
Once the game starts, you will each be taking 1d5 rolls (First Red Player, then Green Player, then Blue Player) to determine how many spaces you can move. So first Red will make a post (with the 1d5 roll) stating how they would like to move. For example, Red might roll saying "2 up, 2 right". If Red rolls a 3, he will move as far as he can along his intended path (2 up, 1 right). If Red rolls a 5, he will move 2 up, 2 right, and simply stop after the 4 paces he intended.
There are 4 enemies lurking about. 3 are the sentinels, who aren't as powerful as the boss, but are excellent trackers and will hunt down the player that matches their color right from the start of the game, as efficiently as possible. If a sentinel's target is no longer on the board, it will go after the player that is closest to them instead. Sentinels each take a turn rolling to determine how far they will travel towards their target (also 1d5 rolls). After each human player makes their moves, Red Sentinel rolls first, then Green Sentinel, then Blue Sentinel, and then finally the Boss will move before it is Red Player's turn again.
The Boss is the 4th enemy, and he will only target a player if they are within 10 spaces of him. When no player is in range, the boss randomly roams one tile at a time, and will do a 1d4 roll to determine the direction of roaming (1 moves up, 2 moves right, 3 moves down, 4 moves left - if it leads to an invalid space, he will stay still). When a player is in range, he will move 4 spaces every time, towards that player. The boss will prioritize his target based on whoever entered his range first (or next, if the first player is no longer in play)
(1/2)
>>
Combat:
If an enemy occupies the same space as you, you enter combat mode! You cannot leave combat mode until there are no enemies left on the tile. Players may assist one another and join into an existing battle. Each player and each enemy can only make one attack per turn. Players start with a base attack of 3. When in combat mode, instead of rolling to move, you are rolling to attack, so roll 1d based on your listed base attack (so if your base attack was 6, roll 1d6, if it is 10, roll 1d10, etc) and state your intended target if there multiple enemies on a tile. When entering combat mode, enemy stats will be revealed. Sentinels roll 1d, boss rolls 2d.
Pickups:
There are pickups across the dungeon. See the map legend to identify which does what. Players take a pickup simply by passing through the space that it exists on. Enemies do not take the pickups, but can pass through the spaces as well. Pickups activate immediately on contact. Enemies have a 1/2 chance of dropping a pickup upon death (Players drop nothing).
Ready to start once I have 3 players!
(2/2)

Extra notes that came up in the thread last time:
- Nothing moves diagonally across squares, this means for the sake of grabbing the bosses attention, if were in a diagonal square to the boss, you would be considered two spaces away.
- No friendly fire, but I will leave it open to everyone if they choose to help or abandon their teammates.

This looks like it'll be fun, so... how many of us do you think will survive

Hell, why not.

First playthrough, so we'll find out! I've established the enemy ATK/HP already, so I'm not going to cheat and raise or lower it. Team work may pay off.

Awesome. Let me try shifting into game mode here.
The Red Baron has 14 HP and is ready to begin.
The Green Hornet has 16 HP and is ready to begin.
Blue Player is still available.
>>
>>160439
Alright lets discuss tactics for when the game starts. I say we go for the damage boosts straight ahead of us then group together and try to kill the sentinals one at a time before they can group up.
>>
Rolled 3, 4, 3, 4, 2 = 16 (5d5)
What the hell, I'll claim blue it was 5d5 right?
>>
>>160446
That seems to be relatively optimal, but the sentinels only group up if we group up, so clustering early on might be counterproductive depending on movement variance.
>>
>>160447
Welcome! Yep, that was it. Do you have a nickname you want to set? Otherwise I'll be referring to you as 'The Blue Player'.
>>
>>160457
It could work so long as the sentinals aren't to strong, if it doesnt work we could just scatter and hope for the best.
>>
>>160463
Considering the naming pattern so far, how can I not go with "The Blue Bomber"?Totally not a reference to anything at all.
>>
>>160469
I had that name in my head, so glad you picked it!

--Starting Game--
The Red Baron, The Green Hornet, and The Blue Bomber awaken in a dungeon, with not much memory of how they got there. A distant light holds promise for escaping. One thing is apparent to each of them- find a way out as quickly as possible.

Idea: we clear the top, and one of us grabs the speed boost and leads the boss monster on a merry chase while the others grab the defense and attack powerups. Alternately one of us leads the boss in a circle while the other two get out, then they leave too.

Also wanted to note this- whoever lands on the space of an opponent first gets the "element of surprise" and thus the advantage of first attack (works both ways).

I've been watching this go on and it seems really cool. You don't mind if I watch this out right?

It's partly that the risk is blind. We have no idea how tough the sentinels or boss are as of yet, so there is no profit in betrayal yet. If we knew that stealing powerups instead of sharing them, and sneaking around our allies gave us a fair shot at the Boss monster some might be tempted to do it.
Blind risk makes it not worth the risk.

This turned out great guys, exactly what I was hoping for.
I'll be checking in every once in a while tomorrow and update if you roll, the nice part about this being a turn game and a slower board is that we don't have to necessarily all be on at the same time. If we start to notice that we're all on, we can do another quicker session like this one.

Just put a # after your name in the field and then type in a password.
If you want, you can use ## instead for a secure trip. It really shouldn't matter too much for this quest though.

night guys, and thanks for playing!
>>
>>161469
See ya later OP. Thanks for the game so far. It's been pretty fun.
>>
I'll be up for a bit still so I'll go ahead and ask now. How do you guys wanna handle the boss, assuming that we make it there? It would be ideal if we can grab the rest of the powerups before we face it but I don't know if we can guarantee getting them all. I also don't want anyone facing that thing alone if we can help it.
>>
>>161483
My plan is we try and get the buffs but if the boss aggro's on us just have the person with the most health tank while the rest beat on him.
>>
>>161469
dude just saw this thread and
it is possibly the best thread at the /qst/
>>
>>161483
At the very least we know what his movement range is pretty definitively. We can exploit that. Just remember that he's going to target whoever enters his range first.

So, for the boss fight... that one power up lets blue double his damage output. If we let blue nom that last powerup, then instead of contributing +2 to attack it contributes +4.
It'll be a real trick though to use speed to keep the boss tied up enough for blue to get the halved damage thing too, but I'm willing to try with the super speed.

Right. So an optimal hit is this: the person with the highest health plus the buff jumps the boss. Everyone else also jumps the boss. We pop the boss.
Alternately we just go with the "lead the boss on a wild goose chase" routine if we don't have enough hp to face off against him

The Prism Crystal flashes at a faster pace, and now appears to be flashing in a pattern. It can be studied through applying controlled amounts of resonating energy in the same pattern it is flashing - however it is a very volatile artifact.
Instead of movement, The Blue Bomber may take a turn to study the crystal, performing a 1d3 roll. A roll of 1 will under-resonate and create a loud screech, possibly drawing unwanted attention. A roll of 2 will create perfect resonance and will reveal what the crystal does. A roll of 3 will over-resonate and destroy the crystal.
Otherwise, The Blue Bomber can take a usual 1d5 roll for movement.

This was definitely entertaining to watch, just as an observer. I debated giving some suggestions, but figured it'd be better left up to you three.

>>166424
I'll mention it in the epilogue, but basically to enhance it to something bigger and add different game elements, although the format would have to change a little bit for it to move along
>>
>>166428
Thanks! I wouldn't mind having more players join in the future, would be cool to get a steady group.
>>
Speaking as an observer, why do you do strictly player limited turn times?
What I mean is - it's 1 player then 1 player then 1 player. It stretches the response area a bit, and since they all move on the same turn it seems a little odd. If it was player - enemy - player 2 - enemy 2 - player 3 - enemy 3 the format would make sense. There'd be a reason for the division, I mean.
You could have it just be [player side x], all at once, then update the map, then do enemies, then repeat, player actions in order of post.
Seems like a fun game though.
>>
Great game guys that was the best thing ive read in a long time.
Props to op for awesome game.
>>
>>167087
Thanks- I kept it one at a time so that they could interpret their actions with the most info- so lets say 2 people were going for the same power up or enemy, if one got there first, the other wouldn't be wasting their time. I do definitely agree that it makes the response time too long, and I'm going to think about the game mechanics.

--Epilogue--
The Red Baron (L3), The Green Hornet (L3), and The Blue Bomber (L3) walk exhaustedly up the steps of the dungeon exit, out into some much needed sunlight. A large, wecloming meadow surrounds them for acres. A lone tree stands beside the dungeon, and the team rests against it, their heads swimming with questions.
Why are they in the middle of nowhere?
Why can they not remember how they got there?
Who are they to each other?
Did they just meet, or did they know each other beforehand?
Are there others like them?
And what will they do next?
The Red Baron looks off to the left, at a lofty range of mountains.
The Green Hornet stares up ahead, into what appears to be the outskirts of a forest.
The Blue Bomber gazes to the right, and sees a body of water in the distance.
...
Meanwhile, in an undisclosed location, a figure leers over a crystal ball, and watches a recap of what has just transpired...
--To Be Continued--

That makes sense. Thanks. I guess I'm so used to games of this type that reading the actions of individual players is second nature.
It is a good system for making sure that everyone has the most info when do their actions. It's also just the single biggest time-sink you can get.
Cascading updates is one possibility, where you do small clusters of players with each update.
Side v side is the most commonly used format - which does lead to people missing things or stepping into others paths (or friendly fire).
I think the best way to do it would be to disregard posting order. If it's not [Red] then [Green] then [Blue] but instead updated in terms of order post here on the thread you get speedier updates without waiting so much for one specific person.
