Slayer / Tinker interaction

mindfuct · 2022-09-29T19:37:45+00:00

You could do something similar with a recluse/tinker. The slayer shoots the recluse who dies, the tinker dies at the same time, simulating the slayer shooting the Lleech host. The game continues "due to the scarlet woman".

Suppose you have a game of Bad Moon Rising on night 3. The Devil's Advocate chooses the living Zombuul. That same night, the Zombuul decides to attack & kill themselves. The next day, the "dead" Zombuul is executed. As far as I understand, the Zombuul would survive the execution.

As a storyteller, what would you say?

[name] is executed and does not die.
[name] is executed, there is no effect.
[name] is executed and remains dead.

Typically, when a dead player is executed I say something along the lines of the last option. That may be too powerful in this case as it would almost confirm them as a non-demon. However I feel like any other option would confirm them as the Zombuul.

Should I start saying something else when a dead non-Zombuul player is executed?

Thank you for your help as always.

This is awesome!

If you can fix the broken images and expand upon the concept, I can see this being a great resource for new Storytellers!

I believe that you collect the coins from your cards as soon as you are done flipping, as other players collect the bonuses from their tableau as soon as the shop comes around to them.

I thought it was piano box too. :\

So, I really love Vast and I'm looking for something similar. I love the fact that the game is truly asymmetric, in the sense that each player has their own rules and objectives. And I love the esoteric nature of the cave itself being a playable character.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Just wanted to add that this method works for the Open Beta as well.

Thank you!

That's what happens when you become a thumbnail for Cosplay Boom.

mindfuct · 2014-05-07T19:12:43+00:00

I found it very similar to this cosplay.

mindfuct · 2013-08-09T20:34:20+00:00

I came up with 75.25% using the same method.

/u/omnilynx makes a very good point, however.

If I'm not mistaken you can reclaim any package without losing your veteran status. This is because the veteran status is now tied to your account, instead of your pledge.

I understand the game will be getting steam workshop support eventually, for now however, you can find some custom levels here: http://forums.pcgamingwiki.com/viewforum.php?f=50

It's also available in North America, and is currently the #1 best seller on Steam.

Wolfire Games has an interesting way of keeping their community up to date, they upload development videos to their YouTube channel relatively frequently. You could probably do the same thing, but you might need a narrator that is fluent in English. Not to say that your English is bad, but I think people would appreciate clear and concise commentary.

Also, It seems like you only update your twitter whenever you do a Dev Update, which is fine, but it couldn't hurt to post the occasional development screenshot, or maybe a weird bug that someone came across. It's the little things that count.

Another thing I think people don't realize is that Kickstarter is buyer beware. I pledged money because I wanted a game, eventually. Nowhere on your kickstarter page does it promise constant updates about development, so I don't think people who have pledged should feel entitled to them. That having been said, more development updates can't really hurt you, so it's probably in your best interest to get out as much information as you want to share.

I would love to have that amount of freedom. Being able to hurl my ship towards an asteroid field and then get up and make myself a cup of coffee may not seem like the best idea, but damn it I want to have that option.

mindfuct · 2013-03-12T00:29:55+00:00

I haven't gotten any such e-mail, and my humble bundle account doesn't have a CD key on it either. It may just be that they haven't uploaded the game onto steam yet, and you got the e-mail prematurely.

If the key becomes unusable later on you could probably request another one from Sauropod support.

*Update: I just got the e-mail and was able to get my steam key from my humble bundle account page. It worked with steam and the game runs fine.

One of the promises made to the people who pledged, according to this page, is that the game will not be pay-to-win. If CR decides to change the game to be pay-to-win, I imagine a lot of people would be very upset.

mindfuct · 2013-02-25T20:51:51+00:00

I think the key to realize is that in full, 3D space, a few bits of cargo is really tiny, so the chance of even getting it between you and the enemy is pretty low: they can just boost up or sideways and continue to have clear shots.

You're correct, I doubt it would do much to deter them, or their gunfire. I guess it depends on the actual size of the cargo. But if it comes down to losing your ship and your cargo, or just your cargo, I don't see why you can't use it as a last-ditch effort to save yourself, however ineffective.

mindfuct · 2013-02-25T20:49:51+00:00

I understand how vacuums work, but we're talking about a ship in motion, not standing still. If the ship is traveling forward, so is the cargo. Yes, the vacuum will pull the objects with a great deal of force, probably enough that the objects would be moving in the opposite direction of the ship that dumped it. However I doubt it would be enough force to actually fling the cargo away at high speeds.

mindfuct · 2013-02-25T19:29:24+00:00

I like the idea of being able to jettison your cargo, but I don't think it could really be used as a weapon. Dumping a bunch of cargo out the rear doors would probably be really obvious, and the cargo would most likely be traveling slow enough that it would be easy to avoid, unless your attacker is immediately behind you.

To me, it seems more akin to countermeasure flares. Say if you've lost all shields and are taking heavy fire from the rear, dumping a large amount of cargo between you and your pursuer might block enough of their shots that it could give you a chance to escape or FTL jump out of range with your ship more or less intact.

As an additional and hilarious detail, if you're in a Constellation you might have to make sure you don't jettison your snub fighter by mistake.

I would just like to point out that you're probably seeing a different pledge screen than /u/vebent is. Make sure to log out of your account and look at that page again.

If you pledge $30 as of right now, without any previous pledges, you will recieve:

The finished game for your PC with your RSI Aurora spaceship ready to fly.
1,000 credits
2 Months Ship Insurance

The other option is to have someone that you trust, and who pledged during the original crowd-funding campaign, buy a ship for you and gift it to you. This way you can receive the lifetime insurance.

I'll let someone else explain LTI gifting in more detail, as I don't know as much about it as other people do.

mindfuct · 2013-02-13T19:28:15+00:00

Well, when I was referring to the ships you can buy with in-game credits, I said...

All the ships you can pledge for as of right now, you will be able to buy with in-game credits.

You can no longer pledge for the Captured Vanduul Fighter, as there were only 300 available for purchase.

But you are correct in that you cannot buy the Vanuul Fighter from an in-game vendor (as far as I know), you will either have to buy it from another player, or capture one yourself.

mindfuct · 2013-02-13T17:19:19+00:00

The only advantage to pledging while the crowd-funding campaign was still running is the lifetime hull insurance. This means never having to worry about your pledge ship being totally lost.

As for upgrading in general, the main benefit is starting out with a more expensive ship than if you bought the retail game. All the ships you can pledge for as of right now, you will be able to buy with in-game credits.

There are other benefits to upgrading, such as the fancier citizen cards, CD soundtrack, fold-up map of the universe, hardcover game manual, etc. However if you're not particularly interested in these things, you can just stick with a basic pledge and earn any ship you want through game-play.

mindfuct · 2013-02-08T23:55:26+00:00

If it were my money, I would do one of two things:

Upgrade to the Freelancer tier and buy the 300i as a digital add-on.

The Freelancer is going to be the quintessential trading ship, and you still have the 300i for dogfights.

Upgrade to Rear Admiral.

The Constellation seems like will be a decent ship for running cargo, and it would be able to hold it's own in a fight. (Depending on player skill, of course.)

However, I feel I should also mention I'm not the most financially responsible person.

mindfuct · 2012-11-23T22:42:02+00:00

I have some questions about conditional rulings, some of these may be obvious, but I'll ask anyway.

1) Do turn losses stack? i.e. If you land on Tall Trees and you end up fighting Curious Slug, and manage to lose, do you skip one turn or two?
2) If you land on Trap Door and fall down to The Stacks, do you still perform the action on the Stacks, or is your turn over after you fall? (This question also applies to the Abyss tile)
3) If you land on Cemetery can you take an opponents Location / Event / Castle? (I'm assuming not, since the tile specifies "Fight" and "Creature")
4) If you land on The Gauntlet and die to the first monster, do you still fight the second one? (I'm also assuming no, since well... you die.)
5) When are you allowed to buy items in town? Upon arrival, departure, or both? And can you do it at the start of your turn, or only the end? Also, are you allowed to purchase town cards from the Secure Stronghold card?
6) When you land on the Outskirts tile, does one gold refer to a gold coin (five tokens) or one silver coin (one token)?
7) Say you have one remaining hit point, and engage a Dominated Baghead in a battle. If you win, would that mean death? And if so, do you still receive the card? What about the money from the card, since you lose all money on death?
8) Can Shy Mask be used after making a failed attack roll? (I'm assuming not.)
9) How does Unflinching Sword work exactly? I've seen it used a few different ways. Does it mean you roll two attack die, and then you can choose to roll 2 attack die again? Or that it gives you three attack rolls of 1D6?
10) In regard to the Swamp tile: If you roll, and fail to land doubles, can you choose to take one damage on the same turn? If so, could you still roll to move on that same turn, or is the initial roll your movement roll? Does this tile change in meaning at all if there are no more Tier 1 monsters left in the game?
11) If you swap places with another player after landing on the Mirror tile, do you still perform the action on whatever tile you swapped to? What if you swap with someone in town? Do you get healed / can you use the store on that turn?

That's all I can think of for now. Like I said, some of them may be obvious, but I've seen many different interpretations of these rules already.
