Ironfist56 got a reaction from Legoland99 in Weird text adventure thing
Hey guys. So I recently created my own weird version of Roll to Dodge, it's kinda complex and stuff (so people have said) But I've had no one to actually try it with yet. Was just an open invitation to see if anyone would like to give it a go is all. Just make sure you're a good balance of silly and serious, so you can appreciate the game the most. It'd be best played on some kind of instant messaging platform but I could try and make it work on forum posts too.
Here's the power point with rules etc on it. Also feel free to give me advice on how to streamline it and generally make it better. Do note it is meant for fun and not to be completely serious. I'd be the writer and you the player, but don't mind switching roles every now and again. Mainly the writer to improve my own writing abilities.
Link to the Powerpoint.

I do have a specific idea yes but happy for it to be adapted, would you mind dropping me a message if you're interested?

Ironfist56 got a reaction from Strats in Metalworking *spoilers*
Shields are relatively easy to make, I mean my dad casually crafted a really sturdy wooden round shield in the garage with a wooden pallet, a strap and a cabinet handle a few years back. Swords would be fantastic, although admittedly brittle and not very effective if made by a casual dude. Spears and clubs and stuff shouldn't be too bad though, sharpen a sturdy wooden staff or somehow sand down a metal rod or something, or securely fasten a knife to the end etc. I'd love shields though

Strongly disagree with this. Swords are really, REALLY old weapons. One of the oldest. I won't bother quoting bits from the article, but Wikipedia has an enormous and well-sourced article on the history of swords. They arose independently in many different areas of the world, and are made of many materials. A sword is really quite a simple weapon: it's a big knife with a grip (big swords have a bigger, 2-handed grip), and perhaps a crossguard. They're good for cutting and thrusting. It is the simplicity and versatility that makes them popular weapons. Some swords are quite specialized (I don't think the player should be crafting katanas) but a basic sword is very much within the range of a simple metalworker.
There is a series of novels I am fond of referred to as the Emberverse series (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emberverse_series) which concerns the modern world after an Event, which renders all high-energy-density technology and media inert. Gunpowder, electricity, batteries, even the steam engine stop working. The laws of the universe are altered, forcing humanity into a pre-industrial situation. This necessitates the creation of feudal weapons and armor, including swords. The swords in the first novel are crafted from car leaf springs, straightened and sharpened. There is no casting involved, and it's a really elegant solution to the problem. I'm not saying that's the way to do it in-game (though I think it's a pretty good way), but it is one way to make a reliable sword out of pre-existing materials.
There is no reason, beyond obdurate denial, that swords would not be a first-choice weapon in the post-apocalypse. It's one of my main beefs with The Walking Dead, in fact. A knife to the head is fairly ridiculous; it's just not easy to drive a sharp blade through a skull. A sword or a staff, now THAT is a good melee weapon when one bite means death.

spears are nice but they are stab weapon, if you miss the head you might be in truble. With sword you can cut off limbs.
swords are not hard to use, its like axe with a bigger "sharp edge" or bigger machete.
I agree that they are not easy to make but a good sword would be a good weapon in Zapocalypse.
And its not only my words based on tons of rpg experience, I was part of medieval reconstruction group for few years. Its not that hard to learn how to use swords.

You see a buttery little puff of corn. It looks delicious.
>Eat Popcorn
Somehow, the delicious little puff turns rogue and gets lodged in your throat.
>Panic
You flail your arms about while trying to scream loudly.
You can't stop coughing.
>Cough
You can't stop coughing.
You have died.

Ironfist56 reacted to Rathlord in Musical tastes
Personally I'm a massive fan of anything that's rock. Anythinggggg.
Also like subsets of pretty much all genre's, although there's no country music that I like and very little rap.

Ironfist56 got a reaction from Rathlord in Musical tastes
How's it going dudes, Just wondering what kinda music you dudes like, get a bit of a discussion going you know.
I'll start, I obviously like Grunge and metal etc etc, as you can Probably tell from my picture and the way I speak.
Favourite bands are
Nirvana Disturbed Motorhead Muse Rammstein Tenacious D But I will listen to most kinds of music, I love 'Hey Ya' by outkast hahah

Ironfist56 reacted to Pwnguin in Musical tastes
It's hard for me to answer what kinda music I like. Especially if I have to restrict myself to only a few genres, of course there are some genres that sound better than others, generally. But it all depends on the artist and the song.

Ironfist56 reacted to Tomwa in Looking for a coder
I'd say I'm a decent coder, do you specifically want someone to work on graphics programming, game logic, etc.? Do you want any specific examples of any of the above?
Also, I'd say I'm pretty nice (I'm sure someone on the forums will vouch for me )
-
Ironfist56 got a reaction from Tomwa in Looking for a coder
We have found a coder. Any more coders are still free to apply, and we'll consider letting them on. Thank you.
Hey dudes, So me and my buddies are making a game, just started the actually making it, but the ideas have been thought out, and are subject to change, and the current coder only has very basic knowledge of C++, and would like some help on learning AND helping us make the game. If you're interested PM me, and I'll link you to the document I've created stating features etc.
It's going to be a roguelike set in roman controlled Germania, so historical, and you start of with 5 Romans, 4 Legionnaires and 1 Centurion and set in 6 AD.
-What we're looking for-
We're not looking for much, just a decent coder, nice guy/girl, not a cock that's full of themselves, if you are take a hike mate. No strict working hours, work when you want take days off whatever, we're just a group of friends who want something to do so it's not too strict. I myself, am project leader, lead lore creator etc, I do some graphics. My friend Harrison lead Graphics, marketing and music. And Inderpreet, the lead coder. Must not be racist either, that's not acceptable in our group. we are all 16 (well I'm 16 in 3 weeks) and British, but we don't mind what age/nationality you are, as long as you're a good person.
Thanks for taking time to read this, in your little application through PM, or comment it if you wish, just say-
Name:
Age:
Nationality:
Skype:
Little bit about yourself:
And link us to a bit of your past work, so we can see what you can do!
Peace.

Ironfist56 reacted to RobertJohnson in Musical tastes
Yeah, Tenacious D are really awesome...
I love every thing Jack Black's doing..
I also LOVE Jack White...
And now they have to make a band "Black & White" or whatever, and they'll conquer the entire world...
Erm, for the OP :
Almost all kind of Delta Blues (RJ my favourite, but Son House, Robert Pete Williams are awesome dudes too) Classic Rock (Led Zeppelin, The Who, Hendrix...) Some 90's east coast hip-hop (Wu-tang, Big L..) JACK WHITE (everything he's doing... ) -
Ironfist56 reacted to Keepbro in One Glaring Problem With The New Forum
Clyde
Where's Clyde
Have you been left on the side
By web devs in full stride
In a forum where you wont reside
Swept away by a high tide
I really cant decide
Whether this decision I abide
So web devs who preside
Please dont lay aside
My little friend Clyde
For I fear that if he's cast aside
then it will cause a great divide
and I cant take pride
in the new forum you did provide
and that if this small request is denied
then I will go full Jekkyl and Hyde
and a small part of my heart has died
so I if i have implied
by poor poetry thats a bit snide
then please bring back poor Clyde
and dont say that hes died
otherwise I wont ever let it slide
