Frankly, we've got so many threads now that it's getting difficult. Therefore, this one will serve as the main "hub", I encourage you to favorite this one over the others, because I'll post links to all the important ones here for your convenience.

This thread will also serve as the main discussion board for anything you want to talk about in the game, no matter what. Rival teams can even feel free to antagonize each other here, in character, if that's your thing.

Finally, I'll also be posting my "queue" of intended changes here, stuff I'm looking to add, remove or tweak. That will allow for public comment on each of the proposed modifications. It will also allow for you to offer any suggestions or feedback you might have. I value your feedback very much, the game is about all of you.

Without further ado, here are the links:

That is getting huge! What about making the list of the players who ever participated in Adventures in Vue?

I have that on the blog, but if you think I should add it to the top post in this thread then I will do so.

I, too, would recommend a thread with all of our character sheets for easy access.

Oh, you think I should make a separate thread with all of the rosters and a link to each character sheet on the blog?

Or are you saying there should be a separate forum thread for each character, where I can update his/her character right here on the forums?

Probably just one thread with a link to all of our character sheets + rosters. We can discuss the intricacies of each character (skills, items) in their respective threads. A thread for each character would just take up space.

Agreed. I'll do that then.

One thing I was looking at in concern with weapons specifically is this.

Melee vs Ranged;

As it stands right now it's somewhat confusing. A long sword has the same range as a short bow, and a sling has just as much range as a long bow?

My suggestion is this;

Longbow vs Short Bow vs Sling vs Darts

Longbow, Short Bow and Sling all have a range of 3
Darts with a range of 2.

Longbow -1 damage, -15% dodge modifier, range 3
Short bow -2 damage, -10% dodge modifier, range 3
Sling -2 damage, No dodge modifier, range 3
Darts -0 damage, No dodge modifier, range 2

What this does is keeps the bows at a distinct advantage over slings and darts in damage dealing, yet the slings and darts have a defensive advantage due to them being 1-hand weapons and able to equip a light shield as well. Additionally it helps with the range issues without pushing them past the 3 range mark.

As for melee;

I personally don't think any melee weapon should have a range above 1, but they should be more powerful than melee. The longsword should be dropped to range 1 but add a -15% block modifier to it and give it a +2 damage modifier. This puts it behind the mace in raw damage, but more likely to do damge. The Quarterstaff, dagger, shortsword and mace seem good as is, but with the proficiencies perhaps should add additional damage to them. The other option is to give an across the board +1 damage to all melee weapons.

Maybe just shortbow should have same damage as longbow, the only difference would be the range?

I just wanted to say for now, that I have seen both of your suggestions and each of them make a great deal of sense to me. There are certain things that I've completely tripped up on here, and they are now clearer in retrospect.

I could write a long response but instead I will begin working on potential changes for the next set of games (after these). When I've finished the changes I will post them and we'll put it up for discussion/voting.

Can we trade unused potions from the last battle? Sly had 25HP one and Exile had 10HP one.

But won't they want those in their next battles?

I was wrong, Milkman had the 25HP potion when the battle ended and Sly had 2 5HP minor potions created by my ability. That means that Milkman should still have the potion in his inventory. Anyway the ability to transfer unused potions, if the person who is currently holding the potion, should be a nice thing.

I am going to suggest a Mage Warrior subclass for the warrior. A Warrior with limited use of basic mage spells. A Shadow Knight to match an opposing Healer/Buffer?

And For Mage. Why not have Elementalist? You can use a Conjure Elemental Spell for each element.

As a second option you could use Conjurer. Summon allies to aid you in battle.

Those classes sound cool, however they also seem really hard to balance, especially the ones that can summon.
