Re: 6 Swords - Fantasy Adventure game for Amazon Echo
sounds great! Not much of a PVP person myself, but all for having a thing open for those who are with the arena. Also, like both the wish shop and the patron deity thing.
a couple of things I'd like to see though.
1. desecrated temples and such with other kinds of evil beings. I know they are all undead right now. I was just thinking various kinds of fiends such as demons and devils would also fit.
2. Abandoned wizard laboratories/towers/academies, or even lairs of evil wizards. These areas would probably need more managing to make them flavored appropriately but they would be the home of some of the more bizarre magical creatures such as golems, elementals, genies, and a rather eclectic bunch of things that probably wouldn't fit into a single category.
3. a better way to know about equipment you get. (more in personal questions below) because it is still hard for me to pin down what certain things do, especially the divine gifts which are renamed versions of other things but that don't respond to their renames.
4. non-violent random encounters: Right now, unless you are talking about a gypsy camp, whenever you try to find something in the wilds or in a dungeon, it tries to kill you. I know the old and current editions of D&D pretty well and a lot of the stuff we're fighting are good-aligned and if acting like they do in-game in the D&D world, they would either attack nonlethally or scope you out before they actually try to hurt you at all. I think most encounters should continue to be combat, but just "you find monster X, it's going to try and kill you" needs some variety.
5. an idea on how you can finetune dragon fights. You probably should up their challenge rating artificially because of the inherent difference in Six Swords and classic D&D. a. a lot of people took issue with older D&D stuff in the first place because of the frequent potential for instant kills, hence why most of that has been phased out now. 2. In D&D there are lots of ways to keep the dragons from breathing their breath weapons or you can bypass them in other ways that are not currently open to the relatively simple interface in Six Swords, thus a dragon, because all we have is the brute force option, is much harder comparatively than it would be in actual D&D. That probably would be true of other monsters too, but right now dragons and draining undead are the only ones with special abilities. (trolls have regeneration but it is relatively easy to bypass because it isn't super-strong.) (I have no experience with draining undead yet. I ran from a temple early game where there were some wights, and when I came back a couple levels later they were replaced with banshees or mummies or something less dangerous in terms of just hitting hard and having a lot of defense.
also a couple personal stories from the wilds and also a question.
1. What is an aegis of Minerva? I figure by the name it is some sort of shield but can't tell beyond that.
2. Actually found a guard tower out in the middle of nowhere. Was pretty surprised because I thought things like outposts and castles and towers were on roads only. So now I know I'll have to be even more careful to search diligently.
3. I found that that tower also sent me to an enormous castle (a giant dungeon) which I cleared in short order (It just had giant trolls which go down pretty easy for a level 8 party.) but 64,000 gold for clearing it is nothing to sneeze at. I loved the atmosphere.
4. also I was sent to a temple of Minerva. I've been to a ton of temples before but this one was entirely different. I was fighting mummies like usual as they tend to show up in a lot of temples I go to but this one had a lot of different rooms than I am used to. Usually when I go into a temple before then, they were all exactly alike, except in some of them the temple was served by priests rather than priestesses but they were all laid out exactly the same. This one had a very different layout and a whole bunch of rooms I had never seen before such as the Baptistry, the Cloister, and a couple others. Have you updated what temples can have in them recently Joquinta, (I mean in the past month or so.)
