New Game of Death: Battle Royale of the GAWDS

[reapersaurus]

Little known fact, the Dire Tiger was supposed to be named Stryper

To Hell with the Devil, baby. *shudder*

In the dungeon game of death, my cohort even had an animal companion. Little known fact, the Dire Tiger was supposed to be named Stryper, but clockworkjoe demanded that in order for him to allow the Dire Tiger in the game, it had to be named Mr. Boots.

I'd then want a LEgendary Eagle named Winger.

And How about a Legendary Constrictor, who happens to be Albino? White Snake.

Okay, I'm digging up the old games:

Game of Death 2:

I've bumped the open threads as well. Amazingly, the maps still work. I couldn't find the first game since it's so old.

Not a Constrictor, but a viper, who's fangs drip Poison.

But I'd rather have a female Great White Lion animal companion - quite the Vixen.

About the critical hit issue:

I hadn't decided on a policy regarding how to describe critical hits when I started the game but I have figured it out now.

The policy is like this:

Joe attacks bob with a longsword 3 times (natural attack roll 3, 19, 20 result miss, hit, critical damage 10, 15, 15 total 60)

Joe missed with a 3. Joe hit with a 19 but did not confirm the crit. The 20 was confirmed and was a critical hit. Whether bob was immune to the critical hit is not public information

So, some of the hits in the past were not displayed correctly. However, I assure you that damage for each hit is absolutely correct and is not a screwup. I took into account each player's defenses and offensive capability very carefully.

I finally got time to read the GoD 2.

Man, there's some hilarious stuff in there!

Some classic quotes: "I told you stepping on halflings would bring bad luck."
"Wow! That Garion is just being an ass-kicking machine!"


Now I know what the monster in the wheat field is...

..... ELF 22!

I just hope to hell I don't get "envisorated" like poor Meme.

Yup - GoD2 was real fun to be in (I played the harpoonwielding rat-man). I wonder what having their followers pushed into "Walls of Fire" by my "Repel Wood" spell (from a "Purple Ioun Stone") that covered almost the entire top half of the arena, did to the reputation of Dabbil and Meme among future followers.

But this one looks fun too. Just you keep the action going, then neither I (nor likely the GAWDS) will be bored.

A pity I am so bloody slow when it comes to cook up a character, 'cause I would have enjoyed participating in this fight.

Hey Clockworkjoe! If you need someone to run a monster or something for you, just tell me. I seem to be following this thread almost as if I was participating anyway. You're doing good!

a thing i noticed when reading it well into the morning today....

it took 3 months+?!!

Gads, I hope this one doesn't take half that long....
When do the turns start speeding up - probably when people start getting killed, right?

Yeah, I figured this to be a long term project when I began. On one hand, level 15 characters can do decent damage, but on the other they have access to heal spells and the like.

let me put in the insane idea that grants you 2 solars to gate in at level 15 or two black slaadi.

Go divine champion and take gate as your 9th level godly gift and you get gate at level 10 once a day anyway. Gate in two Black slaadi, sit back and relax

But that kinda would ruin the game.. That combo makes everything else seem stupid at level 15... (IMO)

Very cool game btw, just read through the 9 pages and I'm starting on the previous games. I like it alot =] I'll be watching! Seems promissing!
