Battle Royale of the Gawds continuation

Good god yes. My character sheet is mess. Just about every stat has a slash or parenthesis seperating normal and AMF values. Now I've also got temporary mods. For characters without AMF stats calculated, doing anything in the field must be a chore.

But just because people are totaling things up, doesn't mean that they do it correctly. I'd rather have someone be double checking all the moves to prevent errors, even my own.

Exactly. I have to doublecheck all figures especially because a lot of figures are affected by the spells and powers of the other person like protection vs X spells for example. I know that at least one or two melee attacks have hit or missed because of a protection spell.

You know, no one's linking to the site. If any of you want to see more of these kind of events, you should show them around to give other people an idea and hopefully inspire more games like this

And as far as linux for graphical stuff, yeah it's a bit on the low end considering this but if you know someone that is good programming or whatever they can make a good one I'm sure.

It's called the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program). There is also a version compiled for Windows as well as one for the Mac.

I don't even bother with Photoshop anymore.

ps - I've been reading the game for the last couple of weeks.. it's fun! It'd be even more fun if they were in about a tenth the space... *wink*

i tried using the Gimp for quite a while... in my opinion, The Gimp is too gimped to be of all that much use.

The only people I know of who recommend The Gimp over Photoshop are people who were not power users of Photoshop and other software of its calibre in the first place, OR who are diehard advocates of open software regardless of qualitative differences.

Uh... back on topic (sort of)... clockworkjoe, how easy was it to learn Movable Type and to set it up for your GoD?

Using movable type is very easy to pick up, and doesn't require much in the way of HTML unless you want to change the appearance of the site.

Installing it should be easy but I was too busy to figure it out so I just paid the people at movabletype $20 and they installed it for me.

The movabletype forums are very helpful and answer questions pretty quickly.

And for the record, gimp is nowhere near photoshop unless you just want to make images for the web and real basic image manip stuff.

Hey, Clockwork - while you're around. I've asked in each of my last few e-mails if there's any way for my character to know how long that force region around me is going to last. I figure it probably gets forgotten about, 'specially since you have to work on the god's actions directly after mine, but if you could let me know one way or the other, it'd be great.

Ah, well. I don't mind asking this here, 'cause it's pretty general, and I'm wicked tired, so I'm not digging through books to find out... someone know if one can teleport/dimension door/other-movement-form out of that thing? Or am I almost as stuck as Reaper?
