I’ve got lime green selected by default.
I just thought of a basis for another Arena game.
You pick preferred numbers for your ability similar to how Alpha Commando did it, but instead of an ability, you are designated a pokemon. Scavenge items are pretty much the same shit but themed. Medicine=Full Revive etc etc. You also have a level and specific stats. Which stats there are is up to the GM. There are Wild Pokemon in the arena to fight and gain exp from. After a certain level, you evolve to the next pokemon with stat bonuses fitting appropriately. You can also try to scavenge stones to force your evolution, but they arent available until after phase 3, and they are a percentage chance for for successful scavenge attempt. You aren’t guaranteed to get. As you level up you also gain new attacks/skills.
Damn near handicapped pokemon shouldnt be an option. Anyone who gets magikarp or ditto is pretty much guaranteed to lose for free. I’m sure there are also a lot of other thigns that can be factored in, but I’m just throwing out the idea. If a Diablo game can happen, so can this. I think it would be even simpler.
Yeah my concern with Diablo arena is it might drag on too long…
Here’s a couple of Arena ideas, more vanilla styled:
Escape From New York
Soul Calibur
On a side note, the guy presenting this video looks like a total… martian.
That video was surprisingly well done, particularly the animation.
Pokemon Arena sounds pretty cool.
I thought of another potential mechanic while lugging around junkmail today. When attacked, you enter a set battle phase until you either escape(another chance action) or a player dies. Additionally, you cannot be attacked by more than one person at a time. If more than 1 attacks you, the first person to have submitted the action gets it. The others get a place in the writeup as having been bullied out of the way or something.
Another action will be “Pokemon center”. Upon submitting this action, all attacks against you for the phase are avoided, and all your health and power points for attacks and skills are restored.
EDIT: To discourage constant regeneration, and encourage proper scavenging, Poke Center should have a 2 phase cool down. So if you use it phase 1 for example, you could not use it again until phase 4.
Thanks for stealing my arena idea Gamer.
Somehow I figured if anyone was going to run a Pokemon themed Arena, it’d be Bious.
Guess that leaves me to run my Sailor Moon themed one.
I call dibs on Tuxedo Mask.
I’ve got an arena game I would like to run. how do I get into the queue?
Post to be made soon…
:tup:
Just tell me the theme and the general time you’d like to run it if possible, and I’ll put it up for you.
K, the theme is just a sci-fi fantasy theme based in the world I created.
Or Superheroes if @Angelpalm is going to help with it.
Either way. It’ll be dope.
Let me figure out a few things and I’ll get back with ya.
Thanks :tup:
Okay I’ll put you down as “Manx Sci-Fi” :tup:
If it makes you feel better Bious, I don’t intend to GM the Pokemon game. I just had the idea and thought I would share
If somebody is pretty hyped about their arena game, and wants to run the next one, I’ll give up the next spot. I dont think either of mine are really in a good spot yet.
I was pretty jazzed about the naruto one actually. I’m guessing your still ironing that one out huh?
I fleshed out the roles, that one is definitely better to go than Diablo but still needs some tweaking, so if somebody else has one ready to go I dont mind stepping aside
having 1v1s for round 3+ doesn’t really work, so I need a third stage that nobody would really expect : )
