Now, we... I don't know.
Uhm...
I'm gonna think about that. Maybe we should decide if we want the GM's to be present in the game as those fancy little tech-fairy thingymajiggers? That was mentioned as an idea earlier, was it not?

Imma be a Tech Fairy if you like it or not. I was more referring to the fact that half of the DMs don't want the Mixed setting.

I don't like the mixed setting because it sounds either "All magic, no technology" or "All technology, no magic". And if you're something in between, well, better find a small village or something. At best.

Uh, did you miss that part? I've been running with that all along.

Perhaps the tech/fairy status could vary depending on whether you're in Majyykland or Gearsteamyplace.

Like, tech faction gets hovering drone DM's and magic gets annoying glowy wis- HEY LISTEN HEY LISTEN LOOK LOOK HEY LISTEN LOOK HEY LOOK LISTEN LISTEN HEY

Maybe some of the folks are explorers/envoys from a high-magitech plane/world/place, who've wound up not only in a lower-magi/tech sector than they expected, but in the middle of the war? Both sides will want their trinkets for their own efforts, and want to keep them out of enemy hands.

Ed: Or maybe they've gone back in time using powerful magitech in order to try and stop the war somehow? Maybe they arrived later than they anticipated, and have to wing it!

Just throwing out ideas now.

This.


But now that we have nailed down - Dice, the setting and the overall campaign goal, we have one final remaining port of call.

Game mechanics.
Dun dun duuuuuuuuuuun

We might aswell nail down health first, then work our way to inventory, combat, skills and what else.

The problem with figuring out health strictly is that it ties a lot into combat and items. How much health do you have? How much can you lose with an average attack? How do weapons behave in such circumstances? How do dicerolls factor into damage, if using a standard d10 RtD system*? How does armour reduce that loss? Can armour completely nullify very weak attacks, or will there always be the option of pinging someone to death? And so on and so forth.

*As opposed to the World of Darkness/Exalted-style "challenge" system I'm using in the Adventures of Ulysses game.

It might be worth considering the use of the Forum Games IRC channel to discuss this in real-time.

Timezone shenanigans. That mashes up real time discussion.
