Heritage Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 (sound of a toilet flushing offscreen)Ah, sorry, what's going on now? (zipping is heard)Yes, of course, the great and powerful Whistler - let me get right on that... ::blush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezekiel Posted November 7, 2004 Share Posted November 7, 2004 Note in case you're waiting for me to post. In my last post I said that Banshee would be flying to the house so I'm waiting for her to get there...(Just didn't want to hold up the game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asbjørn Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 There's a glitch in the A! rules that has occured to me again while playing the Watchman. Some or all of you might have thought about it before, but I'll go ahead and point it out anyway.The Watchman - obviously - has the Steely Gaze knack and therefore has a pretty decent Intimidation pool. That in turn requires a decent Appearance, which - as we all know - says something about how remarkable and noteworthy a character looks regardless of actual attractiveness. Now, Disguise is also an Appearance based ability, and here's where things stop making sense. In the A! rules, the more remarkable and recognizable you look, the better you are at disguising yourself. ::wacko Personally I've always found the attractiveness approach to appearance to be better than the A! approach. The way the rules are they're well suited to the Intimidation ability, but more or less completely incompatible with the Disguise ability. Had I bothered to change the system I'd probably change Appearance to the classic ugly-to-gorgeous-scale, and move Intimidation to Charisma and Disguise to Perception or Wits.

ProfPotts Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Yes & no.Appearance isn't just about what you look like - but about the sort of first impressions your character tends to make. It's, like all the Attributes, a quite abstracted Trait.Also the way Adventure! runs Appearance means that you can have classic characters like the Red Skull, Darkman, or Dr Phibes who have hideous features themselves, but also routinely disguise themselves perfectly with other faces.Even if you ran Appearance as in other WW games you'd still get a situation where a dazzlingly attractive person has an easier time disguising themselves than a plain-looking, average Joe. Unless you want to alter the Disguise rules to run off another Attribute, or somehow work better for people with an Appearance of 2 (average), then it's always gonna' seem a little illogical.The best way to look at it is to think of Appearance as not just facial features, but as poise, mannerisms, & all those other little things which make an individual striking or not. A beautiful woman who acts shy & nervous all the time may well have a lesser Appearance than one with the same facial features who knows how to really 'work it' (as the young people say these days ::tongue ). Obviously a character who has a better awareness of their own mannerisms & how to use them to their best advantage is gonna' be better at Disguise.Hope that helps with your internal game logic issues! ::tongue ::wink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProfPotts Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 It always surprises me that people are so keen to play Adventure!, then the game goes so slowly...

Heritage Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Sorry to take so long, guys, but I do have one question: what of all the action upstairs would the Whistler hear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfPotts Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Nothing yet - he's good, but there are several floors worth of party between him & the guys who are trying to be sneaky. ::ninja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just like an end of season dramatic ending...see what happens when the new season starts in August! ::wink Course, when ALL episodes are like that, it can get a bit irksome...I just want to know what'll happen if banshee bashes the glass head...or if the Viking will jump her in time...
