Adult: GUCK Development Forum again

[Sorn]

Quick Site FYI:

I am working on a new design right now. It is going to be somewhat streamlined, as we have a ton of stuff on there that's rather dated.

So, I'd like some feedback on this idea for a status page... We currently have an online version of the guide, which is a hodgepodge of different versions and editions. Instead, I propose a page that has a chapter list, which in turn links to each chapter as we get it done. There'll be a column for each chapter that tells when it was last updated, state of completion, etc.

Any thoughts?

You could make a "things done" section and an "under development" section. Just a thought...

We'll talk about the campaign setting once the GUCK rules are done

I'll try to rewrite a version of my complied file in a PHB-like format. Chapter 1, character creation, chapter 2 races, chapter 3 classes, chapter 4 skills, chapter 5 feats, etc. Most chapters will be empty at first though...

Bastoche... that's pretty much what I had in mind.

While I wait for the site download to finish, I am going to go through a couple similar books and see how they are laid out. Reason being is that for the GUCK, the skill section is a lot more important than the race or class section (as both of them depend on the skills). Maybe the splatbook layout will be better for our purpose.

This section will be my first priority on the site, so I should have something in a few hours.

I would make the skill chapter somewhat limited and make a chapter analogue to the combat chapter where most details about the mechanics would be put in. So in the skills section, I see only a few pages. An entry about prowess, new use of old skills (seduction anyone ) and things like that.

Then in the "congress" chapter it would be explained as a turn based mechanics just like the combat chapter of the PHB.

I see a feat chapter and a chapter analogue to the "martial arts" chapter of the oriental adventures called, guess what, carnal arts. What do you think?

Thanks Sorn. I haven't the need to put these into a Javascript though. There is no chance of a person with even a Prowess 8 really getting a character Lustful. So, no Javascript unless there is a big call for it. Glad everyone likes the revision.

I agree with Sorn and Bastoche on the chapters index. It might be difficult to split up the prowess run downs from the skills, but I think it can be done. I'll get started now.

As for new skills though... I think the skills section should be mostly about new uses for old skills (I still haven't heard any feedback on my seduction new use mechanics). And I want to go on record for saying this now. I do not feel any new Skill besides Prowess should be added! That's right, I don't think we should add a seduction skill. Seduction should be covered lightly by the pre-existing skills (such as Bluff and Diplomacy) which are more than capable of handling the function.

Edit: th above wasn't an attack at anyone. Just wanted to get that out in the open.

The new site idea sounds wonderful.

Heh, what's in the Equipment section besides clothing... <evil grin>

I absolutly agree. But, while not exactly new skills, craft(sex toy) and profession(prostitute) are two examples of things that could be covered in the skill chapter. In oriental adventures, there is only one new skill. The chapter has ~3 pages. The soft-focus version of the prowess check could be explained there only.

Appendix I: Plane of Lust
Appendix II: Rules Summary


Some of these things might be dropped, like New Uses for Existing Feats... don't know if there will be any.

I agree with not adding any new skills besides Prowess. If there was a Cha-based skill like Craft or Profession, I don't think we would even have Prowess as a new skill.

As far as equipment goes, there's a list floating around somewhere that has a bunch of new items, mostly mundane sex toys and sexual accessories (chastity belt, better beds, etc.)

Site: I am battling with Dreamweaver to get the new design straightened out, and as soon as I am done, I'll let everyone know.

Read: <13/<16 -- 13 / 16 -- 26 / 32 --- etc..

Breast Sex is missing. I'd put it under Caress as it doesn't do much for the women (so I've heard, I can't manage it myself with much success).

Well ok for now on the location for breast sex. For the female it would be alot of mental arousal for her end of the act.

I'm not familiar with Frotage... ?

I have more than likely mangled the name it is French name/term, it is sex similar to breast sex but uses the cleft/valley? between the cheeks of rear end. THe male gets most of the enjoyment.

<snip>

I've never heard of Flamenco music by the way, hate whips, and fine leather to be a little harsh... <giggle>

OK I more than likely miss spelled the name. Spanish music involving a classical guitar, lady who dances by stamping? her feet/shoes, and has hand castanets providing counter point to the sound of the shoes striking the floor and the guitar. Generally the audiance claps along with the beat of the music.

I like the idea of the online verison broken down/linked into chapters. It will make if more clear to those who have joined in later rather from the beginning.

Sorn, I think your layout rocks!
