Good point I suppose. Euthanasia really isn't as interesting as rolling a natural 20 and getting the crit needed to kill the dragon. :D

Five and a half hours into the Tale of Narvi.

We're allowed to re-use settings, right? Not that the game's very heavily setting dependent (I'm mostly adding to the mythos than taking from it, anyway; the only thing that's being kept is the concept of homunculi from Constructs of Azazael and some of the [gameplay unrelated, but explanatory for how magic works which explains why the players can't leave] cosmology).

So far the game is playable (mechanically, it's grafted into a scenario that's far from finished), has extras (maps of the airship), and a NPC named Keeton, so if I need to change the setting now's as good a time as any to rip out stuff and shove it back in.

EDIT (Status Update):

Status Log:

May 5th
11:30 AM: Begin
1:30 PM: Showered, ate, and got cover mostly done.
2:00 PM: Setting “completed”, moved on to “The Scenario”.
2:30 PM: “The Skyship” and “The Situation” complete, started work on diagram of ship.
3:30 PM: Most of the ship diagrams finished, mechanics mostly conceptualized, started dreading porting text to Scribus.
4:00 PM: Ship diagrams finished, started working on “How to Play”.
4:30 PM: Rules “completed”, as much so as they will be before I finish the Booklet of Secrets. Work begins on area and character descriptions.
5:00 PM: Completed several areas, had a stretch, posted question about reusing settings on 1km1kt (probably should have asked before).
5:30 PM: All characters named, all locations completed, finishing characters is the next goal
6:30 PM: Ate dinner, finished up half the characters
7:00 PM: All work prior to the Booklet of Secrets and Scribus typesetting done. Put off making page background, then finally did.
7:30 PM: Gave up on separate cover for Booklet of Secrets, wrote intro to Booklet of Secrets
8:00 PM: Started working on Booklet of Secrets, got sidetracked by ADOM II, died horribly in ADOM II.
8:30 PM: Got a dozen or so pages of the Booklet of Secrets done.
9:30 PM: Got all of the area-related pages of the Booklet of Secrets done, plus Kulo's dialogue tree. Still need to finish other characters' dialogues and the Endings.

3:30 AM: Only the Book of Secrets and some links in the core PDF need to be done.

I've been thinking I want to try this year's contest, but so far I haven't gotten the slightest idea on what I'd like to do.

I'm kinda bummed about that. Usually I'm full of stupid ideas I'll never do anything with, now that I might just have a way to put one to use, I'm blanking. :-x

Now call me insane if you like... but are you limited to one entry per person?

It's just I'm changing jobs at the moment, and I have a lot of time to kill, so I thought I might do another RPG over a different 24 hours.

Fair enough if it's not within the rules :P
