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.

Current sections (please wait until all these are up and linked to post your own they're all up now!):

Re: Proposal: Power Approval System

What about characters that really would not want weapons (can't think of anyone like that in this comm, nosiree)? I assume this is optional, but would something replace that?

[foolreversed]

No, nothing would replace it, same with any of the other freebies. It'd be your choice whether you'd want to use them or not.

That being said, remember that in SU weapon does not necessarily mean a thing to attack with. Steven's weapon is his mother's shield, which he uses to protect people. While he could use to attack as well, he (and Rose herself, who took up a physical sword along with her gem created shield) uses it primarily to deflect.

Basically what I'm saying here is it'd be a "loose" definition of weapon - whatever would suit the character best basically. Maybe a character is like Steven and just wants to protect others. Maybe another doesn't want to hurt the monsters but does want to stop them from hurting others so their weapon is a net. There's a lot of possibilities, even for pacifist characters who don't want to hurt anyone.
