I like Crystalids/Tundra. We agreeing on this?

Tengu Volcanoes.

Right now it's tied between Slimes and Crystalids. Need a tiebreaker.

>>45683075
Slimes, because they'll have interesting challenges building up a civilization.

what will be the slime play? i think we could burrow to the core with the crys 4 warmth & sexor?

Tundra crysalids just think we could be Canadians and export snow cones and stuff

>>45683075
Crystalids

>>45683105
I'm happy to go 4 slimes aswell

>>45683105
And for location, either island or floating island (the latter as long as it has lakes and waterfalls that go over the side).

I'm good for slimes too.

Alright, so we're slimes. Where do we live?

use the falling water 4 exclusive transport?

>>45683075
Slime iconoclasts: let's try to go against our nature and build up tools and technology.

Volcanoes/Tundra?

>>45683168
Nice idea; we have enough affinity for water that we could potentially go back up the waterfalls to reach floating islands from the ground.

>>45683184
Slimes hate fire; volcanoes seem like a bad idea.

We need water to reproduce; let's go somewhere with plenty of water available.

>>45683218
Volcanic Slimes, we can overcome our fear.

It's water = easy game fire is hard/lulzy, although a salt lake or something nearby could function as spawning pool?

we could start out like a haunted hot spring that murders sexing teens like the St. Helen? one

>>45683278
Interesting. How about a volcano with some hot springs available, then? So we have water, after a fashion, but the heat is unpleasant and limits our ability to use it.

>>45683312
>>45683316
How about a Desert Oasis, with volcanoes in the distance?

>>45683340
Not bad. Gives us some challenges to overcome if we want to expand past the boundary of the oasis into the burning sands.

>>45683340
yes please handicaps galore but we shal overcome

also, are we fighting the other races?

>>45683340
So Desert Oasis with neighboring Volcanoes? Are we agreed on this?

Nah, not at the moment.
>>45683439
Yes.

>>45683418

Not unless they try to start something. Slime diplomacy sounds fun. We'd have to overcome preconceptions of non-sentience, but we ought to be able to ally with other species.

>>45683439
>So Desert Oasis with neighboring Volcanoes? Are we agreed on this?

Reef Harpies. They're basically horrific penguin monstrosities.

>>45683583
Too late man.

Since there was so much interest in the Crystalids, perhaps we might come across them as a potential ally? They seem like a good fit for the desert.

Two things:

1. If Desert Oasis is what we're doing, I vote for cactus Treants.

2. How does one run these kind of threads? I wish to run one someday.

The Desert. A hot and dry environment where few can survive without the right tools and traits. This is where the Slimes have evolved, near the most important resource a denizen of the Desert needs. An Oasis, filled with Water.

The Slimes are able to reproduce by using the water from the Oasis, and biological materials. Currently, the local cactus species is being used as the biological focus.

The heat of the desert is disliked by the Slimes, and is barely tolerated. This will have to be fixed soon, else we may not be able to leave our oasis.

That's something we might discover when exploring. We don't need air, and we like water, so we could dive down in the oasis and figure out the source.

How are these threads run just out of curiosity? I'd like to do my own sometime. Do I need a special PDF? What's the system?

>>45683766
75 is a good number. Not a bad roll.

The Slimes agree that the surrounding area of the oasis must be explored, and a group of 5 slimes are sent to see what is near the oasis.

The Slimes find a small oasis, as well as a cave and some desert trees near the oasis.

>>45684051
Tge pic in the OP is used to choose the race and location of the civ, and the bonuses/penalties are usually kept in mind by the CM (Civ Master)

Actions usually use 1d100 rolls, and the CM could be strict or more lenient with how hard/easy certain actions are, 1's are usually complete failures, 100's are usually success beyond measure.

The CM chooses what actions are available, and has to remember the one most important rule to any game, and that is:

Have fun.

Hope this helped.

Slime Civ Guy said he was taking the first roll for the selected choice. And even if your 87 had come first, it wasn't rolled by the board.

>>45684148
84, nice.

The Slimes have decided that building a membrane to shelter the Oasis is a neccesary plan, and five slimes begin using their own biomass as tools for the membrane, enveloping the oasis in Slime, this acts as a shield, so to speak.

How does slime consciousness work? Group consciousness with shared memories and self, or individual consciousness?

If the latter, recognize the sacrifice and mourn those who protect us.

Then explore underwater in each oasis.

I really enjoyed that one Necromancer civ/quest that went from the old guy to the young girl, Octavia. The Master was one of the funniest guys I've seen "live" on this board.

>>45684501
The Slimes use the water and the biological materials gained from absorbing things, such as the cacti near the oasis. It does not cause a noticeable drain on the water.

>>45684538
theyr not dead right? just really flat?

>>45684533
Since only the first roll matters, you only need to roll if nobody has rolled for that suggestion yet.

Interesting idea; that would mean we haven't so much "lost" 5 slimes, just that they're currently busy.

Some of them are. http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Ogre%20Civilization%20Quest for instance.

>>45684538
Currently the Slimes have a pseudo sentience, in which the group as a collective share minds, they have not yet evolved singular minds.

Think the Geth from Mass Effect, the more there are, the smarter, at least until we evolve individuality.

>>45684555
>>45684573
Correct, they are not truly dead, just not available to use. The Slimes have bonded together to form a protective membrane.

>>45684549

Exploring our Oasis already got a much higher roll. I do however, support that as the next move.

>>45684630
Awesome on both counts. Let's make sure we keep the shield slimes well-hydrated.

We're going to explore the water of our Oasis, correct?

>>45684646
i'm forgetting about the exploring, getting the new ones to explore the oasis next?

>>45684664 thank you

Guys, I'm going to eat supper with friends right now. It'll be quick, but I suggest our move while I'm gone should be to appoint a specialized slime as our "queen", who will be better at producing slimes in mass numbers.

>>45684684
Yes, let's do that.

>>45684754
I don't think we should conflate spawning more slimes with ruling; let's not have a "queen" or similar. But by all means, let's assign a few slimes to consistently spawn a few more slimes per round

>>45684684
Think so

>>45684754
That ain't a bad idea - maybe create it by merging 5/10 slimes together and letting it live in the depths of the oasis?

>>45684803
yeah, lets have a 'spawner' instead

>>45684754
Alright.

>>45684803

>>45684829
Agreed.

>>45684807
>That ain't a bad idea - maybe create it by merging 5/10 slimes together and letting it live in the depths of the oasis?

Sounds good. How many slimes would it take to consistently gain, say, 5 slimes every round?

And how many slimes can this oasis support? We don't want to grow past our means.

>>45684478
71, that's not bad.

The Slimes feel as if exploring the water beneathe their oasis a good idea. Several slimes go under to see that there is nothing but water, and that it is quite deep. The Oasis could easily support more slimes for a long time.

How fotunate.

The oasis does not connect to the smaller one some distance away, this means that if the Slimes were to expand, they would have a second oasis to live in.

>>45685145
algae maybe? look for bubbles from a hot vent where life could exist

>>45685214
This is actually a great idea - only I think those exist only on the bottom of the ocean...?

I'm back!

>>45685214
It would be really nice if we could find sunloving algae, we could grow yhem on the sand, we could use our slimes to function as growing baths?

>>45685326
but hot-vent algae also nice

>>45685304
They can exist anywhere there's enough pressure and heat from some underground source. And there's a volcano nearby... The combination of that and the oasis could definitely produce such thermal vents.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrothermal_vent

Volcanic Slimes as are endgame?

>>45685304
yeah, closer to magma tunnels/earth's core and stuff, but we can see a volcano from here right? should be higher chance of hot vents!

>>45685352

World domination is endgame- also, building shit.

>>45684971
A 14? That is not good, mate.

The five slimes sent out to explore have decided to enter the cave. Soon after entering the cave, they are never heard from again. A shame.

>-5 Slimes.

>>45685020
33+10=43

The Slimes decide to spawn more slimes. They gather enough biomass from the surrounding cacti, and begin the spawning process.

Summary: we have a shield against the sun, some knowledge of the surrounding area, a scary cave that we need to master, the possibility of hydrothermal vents, and the need to either farm cacti or seek another source of biomass (such as the aforementioned vents).
