So Yeah, I AM in fact still alive; Her, Let's finally update
10 years ago
I've been busy, good and bad: How about a game tease
update?
=============
FIRST, A Kara Health
Report:
Well bad news and, well, more bad but fuck it.
The bad first: The tumor has struck a decisive blow.
I am now unable to walk; Time for a wheelchair.
I retain VERY minimal left arm function.
My timescale/estimate has been reduced severely.
I have "anytime now for any reason" still to a more likely
"I MIGHT make this year's end, anything beyond that's
"pretty fucking unlikely."
So let's see how it goes?
You see how badly I've given up! Finishing off writing a
game an' shit.
=============Fading Anima mechanics teaser!
==================
1) Example Character Building, Core play mechanics &
some teases of other Character options~!
OK, so!
We are a Stat pool based, die-bid match/challenge,
One-Roll system...
uh,hahaha. XD
Let's just make a starter character, gear /skill up and
show what all that gibberish means to you as a player.
1)Universal Stats = Freeflow Action.
(ALL active entities; housecat to grand mountainous
dragon, use the same 5 core Stat pools.
Might:Sharp physical force;"strong"/violent muscle
actions.
Endurance:Bulky force and size /"Weighty" actions
Staying Power.
Reflex: Speed, Flexibility,&Rapid/"Agile" actions.
Wits: Precision, Memory, timing and "Skillful" actions.
Will: 'Soul',Determination,, Vitality&Life/"Sheer presence"
actions.
Allowing YOU to play pletty much anything you can
imagine as a character. (Systemwise. Fading Anima has
more structure, even "classes" kinda in Factions if you
want 'em, but still. Lemme preen a lil x3)
Okay~!
We have our stats. Now, our actual dice and how they
work.
In Fading Anima, our "Character Points" are called
Vibrance. "VP", as a link to our core lore theme of a
struggle between Vibrant Colour&Light vs the Withering
dark. ALL THINGS have a vp value, from skills to gear,
etc, letting us customise it all!
=====STARTING OUT======
We roll 10 sided die, giving us a roll range of 0-9.
In WA,Our baseline "Pure average Person" is actually
ever so slightly below pure average in stats.
EVERYONE GETS THESE FREE;
======
20vp
Mgt:4
End:4
Ref:4
Wit:4
Will:4
Move them around some to better define your strengths
and weaknesses, but these 20 can't be spent elsewhere.
TWO STARTING PATHS,
======
Neni the rather itty bitty, hella clumsy humble skunk
anthro peddler with a sharp tongue when riled and
surprisingly stout back who woke in The Haven after
hitting her head while fleeing a strange pack of freaky
monochrome wolf monsters.
20vp
Mgt:2
End:5
Ref:2
Wit:5
Will:6
Everyone gets 15 "freevp" in Starter gear,(It's craaap gear
that needs to be replaced asap is all.) then 10vp to
spend on Skills and other stuff.
Neni decides (Probably correctly) her life expectancy as a
main warrior is one crunch.
She's gonna focus on FieldSkills, sneakily/safely
exploring and gathering/crafting while others kill the
nastiest baddies for her; Then she'll carefully stealth up
and go out and sell them the stuff she's crafted right out
in the field now and again to keep 'em clearing new
spots for her to gather better fancier treasures and
ingredients to spruce up her stock. =P Everyone wins -
especially Neni, she earns extra Risk(the "xp" system in
WA) for being out in the field and vulnerable alongside
the fighters(Anyone a monster targets gets its Risk
award when it dies, no competition/Killsteal shit here,)
on top of her normal gain per transaction!
Neni

Neni's chosen 15"freevp" of Gear;
Weapon:
starter's staff(3vp)+2BluntDmg.
Armour:
starter's Robes&hood(5vp):2end,1Slash Defense
Starter's Cloak(5vp):11Ref,1pierce Defense
Starter's Pack(2vp):+5 item slots(10).
And every other point goes in her Skills;
ProspectorLv.2(2vp)
StealthLv.2(4vp)
Treasure HunterLv.1(1vp)
Armorer Lv.2(8vp)
Neni's the spunkiest li'l weapontinker! around!
======vs======
Mira Hallowscale, a rather fierce dragon anthro who came to the Castle on purpose seeking some of the countless mTreasure it's supposedly filled with, has
taken a likinng to the skunk. Bodyguard already!
Mira's all stats/action with a clear plan: be huge, kill
lots, but also focus on being rich.
Pretty classic dragony!
. As long as Neni can provide the gear she'll invest in it
and bring PLENTY of power to it.
Plus she's an absolute TANK.

Her choice of gear goes the only way it can.
Starter's battleaxe(9vp):+4slash,+4crushDmg

Skills, too.
Cash MagnetLv.1(3vp)
WealthyLv.1(2vp)

Now, how do we PLAY this mess?
It's pure RP until you click "WARPG:on~!"
If you're inactive you can't interact mechanically with
scripted stuff of course, but you can freeform
RP/explore the build!
OK~!
Let's roll(Some dice =P)
First, we declare our RP action, and bid our dice into a
roll pool to make it happen~
Our first (very silly) "combat" is the result of another PC
badmouthing Neni: He's marked for PvP, so Mira decides
to turn that on and punch him in the face.
This is a Might based/violent action at its purest, so we
bid dice from Mira's Might pool first.
Mira

Gin
Mgt:4

Ref:6

Gin REALLY needs to watch who he smarts off at.)
Mira bids 4mgt, making the roll 4d10.
Until the end of the scene,(in this case, our little
fistfight,) she can't use these 4 die again for anything.
Gin's still a cocky shit; "I'm way too quick and sly for
that!"
So Gin adds 4Ref and 5Wit to his default 4d defense
action of 4end: shake off getting punched in the face by
Mira =P), bringing the pool up to 13d total! Defender's
limit caps the bid, "Hmph! so we roll!
So it's
Mira; 8,5,7,5
======vs======
Gin;1,5,4,0+4,3,3,6+5,4,6,3
Each of Gin's die that is higher than one of Mira's can be
used to eliminate it.
So, 8>0
Howexer, Gin can't beat another 7+, so let's say she'll
still juuuuuust manage to bop him in the nose for 1mgt
damage. Or she can match his bid die and see if she gets
a better result...
Gin's attitude infuriates Mira to no end: She's
DETERMINED to crush him now. CRUSH, she wants it to
HURT.
So,she throws all her weight and determination in beind
it suddenly to catch that cap;
4mgt, +5end,+4will
She can use whatever, but only up to the bid cap
now, Mira; 8,5,7,5+7,0,9,5,1+4,2,6,8
======vs======
Gin;1,5,4,0+4,3,3,6,4+5,4,6,3
RESULTS
Mira's: 8,5,7+7,9,6,8 all break through.
==============
Gin's been preetty soundly crushed! 0vs0 is at least
defender's tie? But Gin's just been SOCKED in the face by
Mira for 7mgt damage while mouthing off.
With a friend like that?
Neni's gonna be just fine: and they're both gonna be
rich~!
===============
Other Mechanics teasers:
Field Skills&Gathering:======
Neni's ProspectorLv.2(2vp)
StealthLv.2(4vp)
Treasure HunterLv.1(1vp)
and Mira's Cash MagnetLv.1(3vp)
and WealthyLv.1(2vp)
Are all "Field" or "Gathering" skills. Always-on effects
basically.
Prospector will make harvestable gathering spots spawn
in places, and the level will help her get better stuff from
them.
Stealth will hopefully make monsters ignore her while
she explores.....
Treasure Hunter increases the chance of spawning
Caches of various stuff, cash to weapons, even items flat
out worth bonus VP.!
Cash magnet gives Mira an extra cash drop roll any time
she gets one, and Wealthy is steady periodic income!
======
Crafting:
How does Neni earn VP and make bank?
Using Components gathered to modify gear, which she
then re-sells,and earns Risk from making/when other
players assign VP to make them permanent&level them
upfrom there.
Armorer effects the level of parts&materials Neni can use
in gear pieces, decreases how much they cost to make,
and as she levels it, it gives her access to more
appealing special stuff, like magic weapons and even
PC-Made only special weapon traits~!
What kind of character do YOU intend to play?
===============
So.
Questions, comments?
ALSO, AN IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
I AM HIRING!!!
ARE YOU A SECOND LIFE SCRIPTR?
CAN YOU MAKE SL SCULPTS AND MESH?
LIKE TO EARN A COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS?
YOU HEARD ME.

YOU HEARD ME.
Will someone be taking over control of your game after...your time? Would you be happy if we continued going on playing it after as well? Hell for rules/story of the game I'd make Nyx a Goddess of entity that always remains or something heh, never forgetting. Always keeping you around. ^^
Either way...regardless of this whole shit trying to get you down, I hope you've managed to find the happiness you've wanted to hold onto throughout this time.
I wanna get the rules up online in a .PDF with some art or something and stuff: We're just focusing hard on the SL stuff first! :heart:
Regrets, however, are like rocks: if you can manage it, try to empty your shoes of them when you can; Nice to meet you. Keep on dreaming.
Like the game concept so far. Still totally need to find time to chat at you and mousie.
Glad you like the sound of the game!
I have rudimentary sculpt/mesh experience, however. Depends on what you wanna make.
I go by Maloo Eliot there.
Otherwise, it looks like a fun base to start off with, with a lot of room for future development.
Also, glad to see you're still at it, keep fighting you big, loveable monster!
