Fate/NISA [Game Planning]

[Xeras]

Okay okay. I tried to come up with something... but before I really do anything I would input, so make sure formulas seem fair, and other things.

Things will be edited based on input. This is not completely done, but I want to get what I have, out.


Gameplay

I. This game will be an RPG, similar to Claymore’s Digital Devil Clash.
II. Unlike DDC, the players will not be divided into tribes.
III. Each ‘turn’ will last roughly 48 hours.
IV. During Each turn, players will have up to four actions.

A. An Offensive actions, such as attacking another player, or servant.
B. An optional action to use a command seal. (Or those without a servant can attempt to seek out a free spirit, by submitting a talk action to one of the servant types.)
C. Can vote for an information leak on a player, or a player’s servant. (Concerning the servant’s identity.)
D. To allocate any points into stats, assuming you have points to allocate.
V. Not everyone will start with a servant. (Assuming that there are over seven players)
VI. After Each Phase, Players will gain 3 points to allocate into their stats.
VII. The overall goal is to be the only one left with a servant.

and RED will increase by one point.

Typo

At the end of each turn, will you be sent your status, as well as your servants status,

You will. No will you

1d6 means a random number from 1 to 6?


1) How much HP and SP you get at the beginning?
2) If I my guess is correct, there will be 7 servants (which I assume are NPCs). So if more than 7 players play, not everyone will start with one. How will that be balanced so that both masters who receive a servant and those who don't - will have equal initial winning chance.
3) Just from personal experience, the more parameters you add - the harder it becomes. It sounds cool on the paper, but then you regret that once you actually host the game. Take that into consideration (especially the DEF and RES parameters).
There's also the aspect of remembering to include all elements in every calculation. The more you need to remember - the higher the chance you'll make a mod mistake. And no one likes those. In DDC I'm always triple checking everything because I'm paranoid about forgetting to take certain things into account. And not once the extra checking prevented a mod mistake.


And just had to say that I also once planned a FSN game... But you beat me to it

I call dibs on Ubiquitor as my servant

[ArmedDragoon]

I was disappointed when I didn't realize Digital Devil Clash was a thing in time, but Fate is pretty cool too.


Dibs on a Lancer.

[darkclaymore]

Rider as my bitch- Err, Servant please.

[Xeras]

Actually...I was thinking about doing it differently, now that I thought more about it.

Like... perhaps known partnerships...?

[lopez]

I call dibs on Assassin

But, Lopez. We all know that Any Servant > Assassin
