You make a good point.

Let’s just ditch the load screen so Luna can opt to heal now, if @Qralloq wants to. That seems to be how Ysolde thought it would work, so no harm in tweaking the rule to what players already thought it was anyway.


Update: removed "if empty"

Now I’m really glad I listened to @FlyingSucculent

Jinx powers! XD

Okay, this round you’re free to roll whatever you think works. If you have a stat with 3 dice or an action marked with an exclamation point, the odds of a hit+ are better.

Did you write Luna's song yourself, Qralloq? It's very nice! :O

Also, the battle is rapidly becoming Dance Dance Revolution. I like it. XD

I asked ChatGPT to write it, thinking I'd wordsmith the skeleton, but it was good as is.

Hmph, that's awkward for me. Oh well, guess it's easier to get fooled in the medium you aren't very familiar with. XD

Well, the fairy song is cute and it will work, but gradually (after battle). Luna’s efforts are not entirely in vain.

Let’s see how Thundra’s luck influences the round’s outcome…!

Not great, boss. Not great.

I had a thought on Cas’ miss, and what I would do if Thundra attacked. Each hit would take out a grabber, and for each grabber that isn’t hit…

…I did consider what missing all three means!

For the life of me, at 7 a.m., I could not find the Konami music for the game that takes place on LV-426, a.k.a., the doomed space colony from the best action movie ever. You know, the one where Ripley and Hicks save Newt, and they all live happily ever after with their cat Jonesy and half-robot Bishop. There is no Alien 3.

Anyway, ten hours later, I changed the music to the track I couldn’t find outside a full OST. I absolutely loved the music in the Aliens arcade game. I may be biased because I loved the movie.

The Matoroids were gross because when you blasted them, there were red gobs and metal. But they were machines, so you technically weren’t killing anyone.

I just discovered a retro/Contra clone that takes my idea and makes it way more awesome and gross—because instead of vegetable robots, the enemy is MEAT robots.

This game looks cool!

LS, do you want us to replace 🔒s with 🔑s, or just delete them on the sheet? I did the latter at first but then had doubts about which you'd prefer. XD

Yes, display the key. (Otherwise you have a weird blank.)

@Qralloq the dysentery reference made me laugh (and do a Find On Page search, since I was pretty sure I decided not to post a dysentery reference, though, yes, I had considered it).

The Polygon Trail’s name is, of course, based on The Oregon Trail. But in my head it’s also a reference to early 3D/polygon games. Whether by "early" I mean Star Fox or Battlezone is open to interpretation. (In my head, the scenery in this game is like in Wreck-It Ralph… everything looks a lot more ‘real’ inside the game.)

Also, to manage expectations…

The original plan was a five-level game.

That’s still the plan, in a way, but the number will be higher because I’m splitting a couple levels so you can level-up both before and after the ‘ship’ levels.

• Lv.4 - The Polygon Trail
• Lv.5 - Aboard Pinky again, but with a twist so it’s different than Lv.3
• Lv.6 - I ain’t telling
• Lv.7 - Retrovania

Sounds fun! :D

I updated a thread to help keep track of where your character is or should be, level-wise.

The total number of hearts, items, keys and dice should be the same for everyone. I marked a 4️⃣ for anyone who hasn’t leveled up to Lv.4 yet.

Took an ability, Cas should be good to go!
