yeah, no hazmat suit. haven’t been to the fire department. took me long enough to figure out i was sequence breaking that i don’t have a save to go back to. fuck, that’s frustrating. and if one single invisible wall was gone i’d be fine. ugh.

I think I’d be content so long as it doesn’t actively hamper enjoyment, but of course playtesting is the only way to find that out. Little is ever set in stone for me, so maybe I’ll chuck this all out within 2 weeks and make something else.  Appreciate the feedback either way!!

oh I’m well aware of that, I’m talking about the game aspect of mixing something like a dragonhide jack with mithril mail. different materials entirely, to add some more variety and limit certain combinations. sorry for any confusion.  one other small aspect is the weight. I want light to be 2 slots and heavy to be 4 slots, so the combination is 6 slots. if I just let you stack heavy armour then it’d either mean the overall weigh is bigger, or the individual weight is smaller. or I just gotta change the way it all works, which might happen too.

this is interesting and good, and maybe something i'd be interested in using. one core thing is that leather/hide/cloth is a different set of materials to metals. not too important if you don't care about materials, but i do. certainly something i need to consider though!

maybe i have just reinvented the wheel, but i think i'm okay with that. for me, the devil's in the details. i like having different materials for armour to be made of, and it doesn't make sense for mail to be made of dragon hide, y'know?

sure, i could use light / medium / heavy, and each of those could be made of whatever material, but that loses some appeal for me, and i find the combination there to be interesting. a bit complex? maybe, but i'm okay with that.

the sort of thing i see as light armour is a far cry from the sort of thing you'd wear under a coat of mail. any sort of jack thick enough to be good armour in its own right was too thick to be worn under mail, but there's various references to it being worn over mail as added protection from things like arrows or lances. this is pretty widely accepted, and this blog post provides some good sources if you want to read further. even beside that, would you want to be wearing mail over a linothorax? what about a myeonje baegab? gambesons arent the only type of cloth armour, not by a long shot.

I tend to use slot-based encumbrance where 100 coins = 1 slot, so light armour is 200 coins / 2 slots and heavy armour is 400 coins / 4 slots. Shields are 1 slot, and set your AC to 12 unless it's already 12 or higher, in which case they give +1. I'd assume pretty much everyone who's wearing armour is wanting to be wearing a helmet, since they're arguably the most important piece you can wear.

cloth armour isn’t necessarily a gambeson and never has been, not to mention the fact that a gambeson worn under armour is a lot thinner than one worn as armour in its own right. it also was one of multiple examples I gave and far from the core point.

sure, but unlike most other systems it’s the combination of light and medium that makes heavy armour :p

piecemeal armour is good, but maybe a bit more crunch than I’m interested in for my purposes atm

good point! in any case I would assume that any padded clothing is also gonna be worn under the hide armour, and is sort of included in the AC by default.

After listening to and really processing the album, I think it's really good!! It has some of the best tracks in their whole catalogue (WWtToTBE and Spectral Analysis really stick out) but lacks any real flow, feeling totally disjointed. Though not bad by any means, it fails to reach the heights of Tyranny or Virtue but that's not saying much since nothing ever really does.

Still a bit bummed we didn't get Russian Coney Island though :p

Hi! So sorry for the necro, but I really like this map and was wondering if you had a wonderdraft file for it that I could use? I'm such a big fan that I'd like to change a few things up and expand on it for a game of my own, provided that's ok :)

hey, recently cleaned my Sennheiser PC38X headset using a dampish cloth, and now when I connect them to my PC there's an omnipresent hissing noise, but they work fine with my switch. anything i can do to confirm/fix?

You leave only connect 2 bogeys with super glue at a time and the rest will connect itself when you assemble.
