ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I get the mechanical part, I'm saying that I don't think it's especially interesting, at least not enough to justify starting with the mechanics and THEN building the background. As for shifting characters, there have been suggestions but the ones I remember are for classes/talents rather than races...

I don't like to be negative, but I don't see the 'point' of the race. They're all about size because...? I'm not talking (just) about the lack lore, rather I don't get what this would add to the game compared to reworking size mechanics for everyone so it matters more. Contrast with Ogres, who are b...

Well, it does seem odd if 'luck' causes extra gold to appear that would otherwise not be there, doesn't it?

Now, there IS one Cursed effect which causes you to get less gold overall..

I have brought this up myself. With level scaling, even if limited, sometimes it's not an actual penalty. I say sometimes because the player might benefit more from extra levels than the AI (since the player is well, smarter most of the time :) ) That and, outside the ID, there is a level cap anyway...

The way I read it, a 'normal attack' is the kind you do by bumping. If you get a % multiplier from a talent, it doesn't count, does it?

Yes, it's approved. I've discussed with DarkGod about commercialising some of my T-Engine-based games before and he's been very supportive. Do be mindful of the distinction between ToME assets and the T-Engine though. ToME assets (graphics, sound, etc) are still copyright DarkGod or wherever he sou...

From what I remember halflings got a luck bonus too. Might want to double-check the .lua files to be sure, too.

Maybe they enabled the unfinished runic golem race-class? It's unfinished, ghoul start is a placeholder..

Note that there ARE penalties for fighting in low/no gravity however, so SOME effect other than air for fighting UW would not be out of place if you go with the 'consistency' angle...though it would make that zone MUCH harder (as the monsters would all not get penalties, while the player would!)

Murdering the lumberjacks should have some evil affect happen to the character, like summons a demon you cant possibly defeat, and then the Eidolon refuses to resurrect you and sends you to Hell! It's not particularly evil compared to doing some other stuff, though. So that would be out of place in...

I could have sworn that it used to be a time limit thing, if you didn't get there quick enough you'd enter to everything being dead and Ben would be gone. I'm probably delusional though. The one 'time limit' of sorts is that, the more lumberjacks survive, the more gold you get from what I remember....

Yep, hence my 'likely old' note. I doubt it's intended, though...

Nice This is looking better and better. By the way, is the wounds system explained somewhere? I don't remember the tutorial telling me about it. I also did not found that list of 'variant rules' you have decided to use in the git/hub

Another bump/necro to ask for ideas - if I can update this to fit more with 1.3, I might also put it on steam workshop.

So, are there any mechanics I used in the addon that now feel obsolete or out of place, considering the huge changes brought by the last releases?

Anyway for anyone that wants to contribute zones there's an add-on contest going on. The intent is for some of this content to make it into vanilla and there's even a cash prize for the top three add-ons. http://te4.org/blogs/darkgod/2014/01/news/addons-contest-2014 I am pretty sure that contest ex...
