How's The Game
Welcome to Cosmographia's first "How's the Game"! This is essentially an open forum for discussion about where to take the game from here and anything that might need changing. A lot has happened in the past week and going forward we feel it's more important than ever to have a discussion like this.
This is not a place for criticism of specific players or characters. This is purely about the game itself. Please save player specific criticisms for the upcoming How's My Driving. Any disregard for this or out of hand conduct will be frozen or deleted.
We are inviting not just all current players (old and new) to participate in this discussion but also past players that have left and new potential players considering the game; we encourage everyone to pitch in their two cents. That being said, since this is the game's first HTG we are currently going to do it without anon or sock journals (for future HTG this may change).
Like said this is a completely open forum. We have a list of topics we want to discuss (listed below), but after all those have gone up players are completely free to start their own threads with anything not covered by the other sections.

Like the weapon summoned can now get bigger, or you can summon duplicates?
Also should we nerf the shapeshifting? In the show the gems change shape but not color. Could make color changing an upgrade.

Whoops...

As for nerfing shapeshifting... ehhh, I think the ship has sort of set sail on that one. It's become such a big thing for so many characters already (and used in different ways too; some characters use it to change clothes, others specifically have it not do that) that it might not be fair to nerf it at this stage. Maybe just nerf the size and stuff.

Harder rules need to be in place in general

It'll be something we'll have to talk about a bit more so don't take this as the definitive final stance, but you could still upgrade a weapon power into something more ridiculous just like other power upgrades, or perhaps suggest it as one of your unique powers (since it's possible for characters to have multiple weapons as separate powers and I would personally feel better giving someone a more over the top weapon if it was earned from an event)
Like let's use the silly weapon I made up in the above comment. It could start as a normal or small chainsaw, but then an upgrade could give it the gun feature and then another upgrade would increase its size.
For characters already in game things will probably stay as they are unless a power is super gamebreaky because idk I don't think it's fair to go back now and force you to depower your stuff.

Either way, I definitely am glad to not have to worry about a possible nerf for my own character already in-game. XD She'd be very upset if her shot-gauntlets suddenly became normal gauntlets.

Would it be easier or make more sense to differentiate between say, shape-shifting and something like "height manipulation" as a power perhaps?
no subject
I think height manipulation might make things complicated. It's probably more easier to just say "YOU CAN'T MAKE YOURSELF THE SIZE OF A KAIJU" or something
no subject
/meanwhile quietly hides the plot she did last month where Yang sorta did grow to the size of a small kaiju oopsno subject

But anyway, she and Vel's holes accounted for their naturally being tiny by being big enough they had to 'grow up' a little to fit into them. So Ichigo was stuck at 45cm, and Vel's currently stuck at 54cm... which is significantly bigger than their 'default' heights back in canon without going overboard. And while Ichi got size-shifting back, I haven't planned for her to go too far beyond that. She's still treating 45cm as her 'default' for Cosmos, and mainly shifting smaller, not larger.
...Really, all she's used going larger for is to be able to do some clothes shopping. And I haven't had her go past about average height for a nine or ten-year-old child.
...If that still needs to be nerfed, though, let me know! We can hash it out in PMs or something...
