I would also like to request a trope to be revealed in round two. Seems to be the safest point to do so.

I stupidly thought, I will have plenty of time to write while my college friend is here and I take off work. Except my college friend was here so I have written nothing.

Here's some old content I found that I'm not using:

In the distant future year of 2015, mankind has been subjugated to the tyrannical wizard robot Wizardroid. The Wizardian's Citadel of Digatar was thought completely impenetrable due to the energy field generated by the sixty four Enertron Crystals, until now! With the discovery of warp field disruptor humanity can now create portals to the interior of the Citadel.

WarpKnights is a game for two or more players. One player, the MotherBoard (MB) presents a maze of rooms for the other players, the WarpKnights, to cooperatively explore. The goal of the game is to find one of the Enertron Crystals and retrieve it and as much treasure as possible before escaping through the warp vortex. Along the way the WarpKnights must contend with the creatures that live within the Citadel along with the hazards that the Wizardroid has developed to prevent its treasures from being stolen.

Well, better be this one or there's literally no chance that I will complete my entry.

Reminder to hit me up with a sicknasty trope sometime this round, OP! Thanks!

I also want one for round 2.

Hostile V posted:

I think I'm gonna pick #3.

I wonder if whoever did that one has been reading the game series 2400.

Also I’d like to give permission to whoever picks my game to just replace my mechanics wholesale with Gnome’s Fellowship. Since you don’t know which one is mine just assume it applies to any of them because fellowship is that good.

Hostile V posted:

Not familiar with 2400, do tell.

In short the primary resolution mechanic is a single dice trinary roll.

Roll a d6 skill dice, higher (i.e. larger die) with more skill:
1–2 Disaster. Suffer the full risk.
3–4 Setback. A lesser consequence or partial
success.
5+ Success. The higher the roll, the better.

And my immediate thought when reading it was, "It would be cool if there was a 'critical hit' level, probably at 10?" Based on the way the critical hit mechanic works in PBTA.

Well, I'm having a bad week, and I thought my creativity would be completely shot. But I think I had the creative breakthrough I needed format-wise.
Specifically, Gals and Goons is going to become a belonging outside belonging game. Now I just need to do the hard part, writing.

Is your preference for us to hit the deadline or the word count?

e: I will say that with this sort of contest we really want as many as possible to get through stage 2 so there are plenty of interesting stage 3 options. The last contest I was in narrowed from 30 to 4 finishers and I’m glad that doesn’t seem to be happening here.

Hmm, well, I think I've made a conceptual error (I'm sure I've made a number since I've never worked with this system before) but it's too late to correct. I conceptualized a number of the fronts/opposing forces as facets of the status quo, which sort of makes those ones a bit samey. Although I guess I'm happy I made one for Parents?

e: I guess I'm also upset that too many of them are sort of aligned with a certain group of location, so a lot of the pick up instructions are "You go to the place"

I'm going to take 'Hostile V Second Round', which until further notice will be called Sæhrímnir.

My plan for expanding it was to mainly add 'monster' and setting details. I think another good option would be to not add any details and instead add some brush up to the weirdness of the setting. Like twist it into something less sci-fi, and more explicitly psychedelic?

Just to clarify, does this mean this can still be selected, but would need to be significantly changed in order to be distinct?

I'll be rereading both tomorrow to decide.

I replied to your PM. But to answer your question (Are our concepts to alike) more directly, I think it should be fine since it sounds like you intend to pursue a different mechanical concept maybe focusing on combat some more, while I'm looking to keep the mechanics set in a more narrative space. The concept you sent me reminded me of an old itch.io video game I saw about queer folk piloting mechs made of meat, perhaps that was Hostile V's inspiration in the first place? I'm going in a slightly more 'Cruelty Squad' direction with the concept, I guess.

Okay. I'm done 'writing' and I have over 4000 words of content. But I also have 8 empty tables that I have to fill in, and the game doesn't work without them.

"Table 5: Rotting god effects"

Yeah, my formatting consists of:
a) Make sure everything is a consistent font scheme
b) Add page breaks so tables don't get split

e: 25 entries left to go.

My first round game was: "That Wizard Came From the Moon"
I think this name was later changed to 'Shadow of the Moon Wizard'?

My second round game was "Gals and Goons"

And my final round game was Sæhrímnir which was previously worked on by Hostile V.

I have PMs, this is my preferred contact method on SA, but it costs :10bux: so,
I have some public accounts I set up in order to run the Mario Maker threads in games,
You can @ me on twitter SAMarioMaker.
I also have a gmail I don't check, itsmetime30
The name on that account is Mario Mario, which is, not my real name.

Message me and I'll send you the itch.io account name you can attribute my work to, thanks.
