Roll

No update today, I went to bed at a stupid damn time and now I am paying for it with terrible tiredness.

Don't worry, this is still alive, just two things have happened recently.

1. I seriously re-evaluated some parts of my life.
2. Europa Universalis 4 came out. I mean, sweet jesus.

I'll probably update tomorrow, don't worry. Even if the worst does come to pass, and this does die, I'll probably resurrect it eventually. Hell, I've got a few plans in the works for a few future RtDs that, if this dies, I'll guarantee everyone in this at this moment a slot.

Which means those RtDs would be full from the get go. Here's my ideas, if anyone is curious.

1. Roll to Space : You might've seen this one being posted in the FG lounge. I've avoided adding complex rules to it, but I think I could make it work.
2. Aftermath : Post apocalyptic RtD with all the fun that entolls, with a focus on vehicular combat. You'll be able to do generic post apocalyptic stuff, like tie yourself by foot and arm to the side of a buggy to add an extra person slot.
3. As yet unnamed fantasy universe : My take on a fantasy setting, with a focus on elementals, dragons and a war between the gods. And a few surprises I have in store...
4. Roll to Godge : Mostly planned out as a way to let my players have their ball and play with it. They are deities in service of the Supreme Lord, tasked with building a solar system and all the life that'd live there. Cue interplayer warfare as they strive to gain more power from more worshippers. What these worshippers are is up to the players.
5. Another strategy RtD in a fantasy setting : The players are dragons. Enough said. But in all honesty, this would take the basis from Destiny, shift it over to a fantasy setting. In it, the players would be dragons tied to a specific element or concept, like Earth, Fire, Water, Air, Life and death. Aswell as others, like knowledge, time and whatever else I can think of. This is the best bet incase Destiny fails, since it's the same mechanics, but simpler since I don't have to deal with as many variables. The players would be able to level themselves up by developing their civilization and getting abilities from three power lines, Offensive, Defensive and Civilization. There would also be some base level variations depending on what dragon you have chosen. Picked death? Well, your people are undead. They don't consume food, but they can only grow their population by raiding other settlements for victims.

So yeah, don't worry too much about Destiny. I plan to keep it moving but if it does fail, either due to a lack of momentum on my part or due to a lack of actions, I've got other ideas on the burner.

we are literally half a month in

now is not the time to lose hope or question the established order!!!

It's not over till I say it's over, damn it.

If all goes according to plan, update tomorrow.

EDIT : Damn sleepless nights. Saturday is now update time.

Alright, well, this is going in hibernation. I picked too grand a project and even then added too many variables to keep track of. As such, whenever I start a new RtD, probably from that list of ideas above, everyone currently in play here will have first crack at character creation. That, I hope, makes up for the failure of this RtD. One day, I will revive Destiny and it shall arise from the ashes like a phoenix, but till then, it shall slumber.

EDIT : If anyone wants to cast a vote on which RtD idea they want to see be done, feel free to do so.

I vote #5. I wanna be rawr dragon.

Post-apocalyptic.

Roll To Space or Post-Apocalyptic.

This was somehow expected.

Well I am pretty sure I mentioned that it was going on the back burner in the steam chat earlier due to my own personal lack of experience with game mechanics. I need a simpler project to gain the required skill to thaw out Destiny.

God damn it guys, vote. I can't proceed without at least the majority of players voting. That means four of you. Till then, no further RtDs from me are on the way.

post apoc.
