[Lord_Iggy]

That sounds good.

News: If my brother gets off the main computer I could have the races minus ability lists for now up tonight! If not then tormorrow morring! Next I will do rules for professions and then magic.

 

[Vertinari118]

I done it bang on midnight as well, what day is it when its midnight? Anyway I hope you like it as I said before this is all WIP and the ability lists for each race have yet to be started.

EDIT: I have some stuff I wrote on Gods awhile ago do you want to post it? Its not quite finished about 20 mins. The Gods described are like the Valar from Tolkien they are the most powerful spirits after the One and the Shadow. Minor Gods or Maia will come later but they are a lot of these!

Map is up. I have to ask is anyone following this? I ask because at the moment I feel like i am speaking or writing to a brick wall. Am I really so good that I have stunned you all into silence or is no-one interested anymore? I will suspend development until I get some feedback.

Dibs on the giant sunny-side-up to the south. The Great Kingdom of Humpty Dumpty will rise up and conquer all the sunny-side-ups in the world. Whoever claims the one to the north, beware: We're coming for you!

Scathing criticism: The map is a horrible affront to all that is good and beautiful in the world.

Constructive criticism: It could use a little—oh, alright, I won't lie to you—a lot of work.

sunny side up? anyway the face in the top left is amusing

 

[Symphony D.]

sunny side up?

He's saying it looks like a cooked egg ("sunny side up" style). The desert's the yolk.

Ahhh I see it. never heard it called sunny side up though, usually just called dippy egg is it an American expression?

 

[Vertinari118]

Well sorry I did say I would need help with the map! I did that in paint and I don't have anything better to do it in (the paint that ships with windows). If you are volunteering then I will tell you want I want! Is everyone, who follows this o.k with the races?

EDIT I just realised that the original starting post in which I did request help was deleted by me hitting the cancel rather than then post button. I would now like to request some help or even just advice regarding maps. Sorry for snapping.

 

[Symphony D.]

is it an American expression?

Guess so. Wouldn't really know, personally.

 

[thomas.berubeg]

the races look very good, though i don't see why you're not allowing Bird wereanimals... or at least a race of flying people

 

[Vertinari118]

I never said you could not create an avian race but I am just struggling to see how a human or humanoid could get use to transforming into a bird! A bird is completely different to a human so how would a human body be able to change to the body of a bird! Thats why (for now) there are no werebirds.

From Wikipedia, the publicly-editable encyclopedia:

• Over easy', also called 'runny' — cooked on both sides but yolk is still liquid while the egg white is thouroughly cooked. This is occasionally called 'sunny side down.' These are also commonly referred to as 'dippy eggs' or 'dip eggs' by Marylanders and by Pennsylvania Dutch persons living in southern Pennsylvania, mainly due to the practice of dipping toast into the yolk while eating. Also called 'treasure eggs' in southwestern Pennsylvania.
• 'Sunny side up' — cooked only on one side; yolk is liquid (the oil or fat may be used to baste the sunny side, however.) The egg white is often still rather runny as well. This is often known simply as 'eggs up'. Covering the frying pan with a lid throughout cooking allows for a less "runny" egg.

Haphazard bolding by me.

Anyway, no offense meant, Vertinari118, I just wanted you to know that I dislike the map a lot. I'm guessing it would help if you looked at existing maps (the world maps, the one in GodNES, the one in kkmo's NES, the non-earth maps) and look at how stuff are.

On the bird thing: Is there magic? Come on!

 

[Vertinari118]

And how I beg you are humans meant to grow a beak, hollow out their bones and grow feathers?

 

[thomas.berubeg]

and how are humans meant to Channel divine power, change into bears and wolves, and act on stuff at a distance?

 

[Vertinari118]

Magic is different. Lycanthropy is not magic it is a disease no-one knows how it works but some of the world's most powerful mages have tried to reverse it no-one could so it is either caused by magic far beyond mortal means or not magic. You can polymorph into a bird as you please.

 

[flyingchicken]

Hello? Is this a fantasy setting or some weir fantasy parallel universe where people an throw fireballs around out of thin air (or some hackneyed "alternate dimension of fire" or some other equally convenient explanation) but can't grow beaks, hollow out their bones, and grow feathers?

A wizard did it. A wizard did it. A WIZARD DID IT.

EDIT: So in your little world lycanthropy isn't "conventional" magic. So what? It's still magic! But if you want to put a little rule where people can't turn into birds, it's perfectly fine. It's your brand of magic in your setting. I'm done griping in the context of typical convenient-explanation-plot-device-magic.

 

[Vertinari118]

Fine have them if your going to be rude. Forget the arguments and ideas I had!

 

[thomas.berubeg]

I was just wondering... I'm going to play this, no matter what.
