And… updated.

For your roll tables, please remove the anti-sprite row. That will no longer be a valid roll.

:0 Great job with all these custom dice rules!

Thanks. I tried setting it up like that before game-start, but couldn’t figure out how to make your number a miss only when it’s beneficial.

It occurred to me that triggering a team thing was going to be huge pain in the butt that I would regret for the entire campaign, so I came up with a solution that worked.

Oh, this is a really great way to go around the code's limitations! I didn't know that "natural" picks up on "content" modifications.

So… this weekend is Mother’s Day, and for me it will be especially busy because I need to pick up my brother-in-law at the airport tomorrow.

Without getting into the details of that, I will move this game forward on Monday. Feel free to converse IC amongst yourselves if you’d like.

(Also, I intend to give Pix and Pira loot after the next wave, then pit you against the Lv.1 boss. That will lead to another glitch that takes you to the game Hero Girl Sprite, where you’ll find out IC what is going on.)

Have fun! Thundra is letting somebody else react first. :D

Have a good weekend..

Thanks! My daughters rarely get to see family from "Mom’s side" of the family. For those of you who don’t know, my wife’s from Hong Kong, so visiting relatives travel over 8000 miles.

Impressive guess

Have a good weekend, Legendary_Sidekick! :D
(Pesky freedom units, making me math; great accuracy on the guess though!)

I was hoping to be wrong so I could work in an It’s Over 9000! image, like I’m being corrected by a cartoon.

But being off by exactly one mile is funnier to me. I "missed by a mile" and was within a 0.0125% margin of error at the same time.

I am amused by the bad guy prepare to die fumblings

In my head, I felt that the no-killing rule actually altered several games, as if there is such an option in every game. It’s implied that Feet of Rage had Fatality removed, so the worst thing M. Kangaroo can do to Pira’s dad is perform the Babality, compelling a middle aged man to raise his daughter all over again from infancy.

Babality is cute… but Mortal Kombat never tells you all the trouble it causes to spare your opponent in this way.

Barbaric Commando is named after Bionic Commando, which shocked late-80s NES-gamers when Zombie Hitler not only says a swear ("damn"), but his head explodes in the dialogue box when you shoot him in the face with a bazooka.

Thundra has definitely been drenched in the blood of her enemies before the switch was toggled to All-Bad-Guys-Are-Robots Mode. I believe there are many Samurai Jack episodes that show him bisecting robots and getting drenched in gratuitous sprays (read: geysers) of oil. Thundra’s game is probably like that.

I'm sorry, but this snapped me out of the moment. Didn't we agree not to bring up real world issues? Although I'm mostly confused because I thought our imaginary arcade was somewhen in 2000-2010s, not 2020s. XD
May 16, 2024 2:08 am
Oh, sorry about that! I will edit that.
May 16, 2024 2:38 am
All good, it just startled me! But on that topic, are we going for a specific time period? Or just a mish-mash of everything? :D
May 16, 2024 11:01 am
Mish-mash in the sense that the games themselves are vaguely twentieth century or the ’00s. The arcade could be closed and the game worlds took on a life of their own, for all we know! Human players no longer control the heroines’ destinies!

Just a thought there…not necessarily the official story. (EDIT - or maybe it is now. I like the idea that this adventure will lead to a happy ending, in which the heroines can travel the various game-worlds freely and safely.)

OOC:
Is there any reason I would t cast the special spells?
@PhoenixScientist, You lose the spell once it’s cast.

Something happens when you empty a wand of all its spells. (You don’t know what, but you know it’s something good.)
May 16, 2024 2:12 pm
What do you mean "empty a wand if all it's spells"?
May 16, 2024 2:29 pm
You got a wand earlier which had two spells on it:
• Embiggen (which you cast on the wingless fairy)
• Wallflower

Once you cast Wallflower, you’ll gain some kind of power from the Flower Wand.
