  • Welcome to Wintreath's first game of Arena with a specific theme.  This has the theme of Marvel and DC comics.

    To see how previous games of Arena worked I suggest looking at these links: the very first game, the first team game, the player vs monster game (each move is publicly stated in this game in the traditional form plus the NPCs in this game behave like the monsters in that game), and finally the most recent team game.

    Because the background explanation for this game is very long I will be snipping it and linking the other thread where it is. 
    Rules and Structural Explanation
    Notable Differences and Similarities to other Arena games aka please read through the rules even if your have already played before as there have been a few changes most importantly:This is another Team game because that seems like it would work better but this will also resemble the Player vs Monster Arena game at the same time because teams will be composed of both players and NPCs.  The other major new addition from this game (well NPCs aren't really new but this usage of them is) is Team Attacks.  Almost all of the characters have a Team Attack (playable and NPC) but two don't have them because they aren't allowed to be on teams for gameplay purposes.  Team Attacks have a 10 turn cooldown and can only be performed if all of the players on the team are able to perform them and agree to perform them.  NPC's won't be able to perform their Team Attack on their own but they will perform them with the rest of their team.  They will be able to perform them if they are the last players left on their team though.  Team Attacks can only target a single team.  The only potions available in this game will be health potions.  They will also be able to heal 15 damage and remove all status effects however they will only be available at two (or three) times in the game.  The beginning, and after the first and second 25 turns.(so the start, 25 turns, and 50 turns into the game)  There are no stances in this game so don't worry about that.  I just realized that I completely forgot about offensive and defensive stances :)).

    The Rules
    1. Before the game starts, players will sign up in this thread. Each player will choose a character.  I will assign teams.  After teams have been assigned, come up with a team name.  That is how the teams will be grouped.  Teams can have a maximum of two players and two NPCs for a maximum of 4 characters on each team.

    2. Spectators may place bets on players at this point like so: Team Name: Wager. Please open an account at the Bank before betting. When the application period is concluded, all bets will be locked in.

    3. All players will begin with 120 health(except Cyclops and Havok but that is explained later).  Players can not be healed above the 120 health maximum.

    4. At the start of the match, the Host will perform a 1d20 roll for initiative for each player and a roll for each NPC, determining the combat order for the first round. If there are equal initiative rolls, additional rolls will be used to determine who comes first. After the combat order is determined, the Host will post for all to see.

    5. At this point, the Host will ask for all players to PM what their actions will be like so: Action, Target (if applicable), Potion Action (if applicable). Players will have roughly 48 hours at the start of each round to post their actions.

    6. Each player’s action will literally occur in the combat order (unless affected by changed initiative from certain abilities). For example, if a player is going to perform a block, but another player with a higher initiative attacks them first, then the block will not reduce any of that damage as the blocking player had not acted yet; however, if another player with a lower initiative attacks the blocking player, then the damage will be reduced as the block had by then already been performed.

    7. There are four basic actions: attack, block, use an ability, and scavenge potions. Only one action may be performed per turn.
           a. The regular attack is a 2d6 roll, which the Host will perform.
           b. Blocking reduces all damage targeted at the player by half (rounded down). Blocking will last until another action is performed on the next round. Players may not block two rounds in a row.
           c. Each character has a different special ability which only it can perform. Unless stated otherwise, each ability can only be performed once every three rounds, and each ability has a separate cooldown. For example, if a player uses one ability on round 1 and the other ability on round 2, they may use the abilities again on rounds 4 and 5, respectively.
           d. Scavenging potions allows a player to collect all unused potions from a single dead player target.

    8. There is only health potions.  Players can only have 1 potion at a time.  On Turn 0, Turn 25, and Turn 50, a single health potion will be given to all players and NPCs.  Any potions given to players who already have one will be removed from them and set aside enabling them to be scavenged.
               a. Health potions heal the player for 15 damage and remove all status effects.

    9. Potion actions may be performed separately from the regular actions (attack/block/ability/scavenge). They are performed immediately before the regular actions. There are two basic potion actions: consume potion and pass potion. Only one potion action may be performed per turn.
           a. Consuming a potion immediately gives the player the benefits of the potion, which lasts one turn.
           b. Passing a potion allows a player to pass a single potion to another player as long as the receiving player has an empty potion slot. The receiving player may consume the received potion as soon as their next turn. This means if a player passes a potion to another player with a lower initiative, the receiving player may consume the potion on that same round.

    10. If a player does not perform an action when they are capable of doing so, they will receive 1d5 damage. Each subsequent turn of inactivity will increase the die by 5, meaning the second turn would be 1d10, the third 1d15, etc.

    11. The results of the round as well as the combat order for the next round (determined by new initiative rolls) will be posted by the Host at their discretion, though in a timely manner. The process will repeat until only one team remains.

    12. At the end of the battle, the winning team will receive their prizes, and the betting spectators will either gain or lose credits depending on their wagers. This will all be recorded in a post at the Bank, and the relevant Bank accounts will be updated.

    Characters
    I came up with these abilities and Gerrick reviewed them.  I will answer questions about balance and feedback would be appreciated.  Keep in mind that not all of these classes are fully balanced which is partially by design because of the Team Attack aspect of this game.  I could see some problems if everyone was equal when they performed their Team Attacks so some are somewhat weaker and others are somewhat stronger but generally not by much.  I also made some effort to mix somewhat obscure characters with the well known ones but some of the more notable omissions I simply couldn't think of moves that were different than already existing ones.
    Marvel Combatants
    Mister Sinister
    Molecular Manipulation: Sinister alters his body causing a random effect for one turn.  Has a three turn cooldown.

             Internal Transmutation: Decreases the amount of damage received by 3.

    Clone: The chosen clone attacks the target or group of targets.  No individual clone can be used twice in a row.
             Riptide: Deals 2d5+3 damage to all targets.  Anyone who takes more than 7 damage from this attack has their next initiative value reduced by 5.

    Team Attack Uncontrolled Blasts: All opponents take 3d3 damage.

    Get ready for craziness, hijinks, and violence.

    This is a team game but a maximum of 2 players can be teamed up for a maximum team size of 4 (NPCs and players are randomly assigned to teams.)  This game will continue the rolling for turn order of earlier games.  My dice rolling will be done online or on Discord (or both).

    This crossover so far hasn't been much of a crossover in terms of chosen playable characters but we will see if anyone chooses characters from the other franchises.

    Notification for the players who have already signed up for this game:
    @Gerrick who chose Ruby Thursday
    @Wintermoot who chose Namor
    @Hapi who chose Scarlet Witch
    @taulover who chose Wasp
    @Red Mones who chose Magik
    @ogunbiyi6422 who chose Animal Vegetable Mineral Man

    Signups are still open at least for this weekend for anyone else who wants to join.  Each person can choose one character while chosen characters can be changed.

  • Seeing how all of the players who pre registered are in and have chosen characters, I will leave signups open until August 25 around 6 PM Pacific Time give or take a few hours.

    Right now it looks like there will be 3 pairs of teams with whoever ends up being their NPC allies.


    Anyone who does want to join, make sure to read through the rules and keep in mind how active you might end up being because while the rounds last around 2 days each, there will probably be a lot and you take damage each round you are inactive (how much potential damage increases with each inactive round).

  • Well it's been long enough.  Time to at last get this started.  I will be doing the team placement (players and NPCs) dice rolls on Discord using Sidekick.  I just need to decide how best to do them so that they are random.

    So there are 9 NPCs and 6 players with there being a maximum of 2 of each on a team.  There won't be NPC teams in this game just mixed teams.

    Snowflame
    Animal Vegetable Mineral Man @ogunbiyi6422
    Ruby Thursday @Gerrick

    Team 2
    Wonder Man
    Red Tornado
    Scarlet Witch @Hapi
    Namor @Wintermoot

    Team 3
    Plastic Man
    Copycat
    Wasp @taulover
    Magik @Red Mones

    This took so long that I am not going to show images of my rolls.  What I did was using the Sidekick bot on Discord, I started off with 1d17(17 characters were eligible as NPCs or chosen).  I rolled 11 times before I examined the number pattern results for each selection.  There were plenty of times where rerolls and extra rolls due to mistakes and ties were required.  The number system I did was made by alphabetizing the two groups separately and then numbering the eligible characters in reverse alphabetical order alternating between the two groups with Marvel being numbered first.  This meant Wonder Man was first on the list and Copycat was last (there were 5 NPCs from DC and 1 chosen character while 4 NPCs from Marvel and 5 chosen characters so once DC ran out for the list, the rest of the Marvel characters were added in the same reverse alphabetical order).  After a selection was made, the dice lost a side on its roll until the last roll where Magik was chosen by the results and Wasp was the one left over to finish the last team.  The number that was most frequent was the one that was selected to be placed on the team, the NPCs were chosen more often than Player characters not surprisingly.  It wasn't until the fourth set of 11 (or more) dice rolls that the first player character rolled a majority: Animal Vegetable Mineral Man aka ogunbiyi.

    I will send out PM group chats for the teams so that you can strategize and plan and chat before I officially get the game started later today or tomorrow (hopefully soon either way).

    Also here is a movelist for all of the players and NPCs who are in this game.  This will make your planning easier most likely.

    Movelist for all of the Relevant Characters in this Game

  • Sorry about that.  I have a larger than expected pile of work to do earlier than I expected plus I am confused by the school websites I am dealing with.  I will get this posted once I actually compose the introduction and beginning.
