ale, rumors and ale again....

[peterjer]

I have given last time a lot of thinking.......
When in utt2 it will be all more harder and you will need to wait until your party members are online.....and most of the people would be waiting in the taverns......I thaught that a tavern should look like an place where strange and normal people come together to talk and here comes my point.......wouldnt it be a great idea that dms spread rumors of future events or about important changes in the tavern throw the npc in the tavern....
and another idea was to start an iligal gambling palace and a crime family my own*insert evil laugh*....... wel some like dice games for money with your emote wand or blackjack?

[Fasin]

With regard to your second remark I think thats a fine idea. As it stands the emote wand has a dice rolling facility and you could use that to simulate games of chance. theres nothing stopping you from doing that right now. who rolls the highest on a d20 wins or call out a number then roll a d6. if the number comes up you win. obviously the latter would be a higher odds affair and more likely to entail a roll-over.

theres no reason you couldnt organise games of chance in the greyflood tavern say after the arena. or in the pony with naive young adventurers that you could attempt to fleece with promises of big money prizes. :P

And if youve never been to an illegal gambling event - try you're luck at out drinking the dwarves in the Cracked Anvil, if you're lucky Gimli might show up and take all yer gold, if not you'll be sweeping the floor fer weeks!

[peterjer]

hahaha I can handle all the dwarfs...
but I really hope my idea wil come in utt2 and i hope the rumors will be too taken serious as an idea because i find it a real charastric thing to an tavern and perhaps selling food at an tavern would be an idea too.....

[ghost81]

The rumour thing is a nice idea, and indeed I've seen it happenin' the past - an innkeeper tells of a gathering, a rescue mission or whatever. However its only really feasible if a DM is online and knows what they're going to do. In this case they take over innkeepers and spread rumours. Cos the other option would be for an innkeeper to have it as part of their speech programme - which would mean constant rescripting of their speech, and probably mean Kev would have no time to run any events.

[peterjer]

and what about if players could give rumors to the innkeeper and he would spread the rumors forth.....it will cost less work for the dms that way...

[ghost81]

Surely then we're back to Notice Boards, which have already been put aside as too tricky to maintain.

[peterjer]

a new idea....animal fights with not that interesting animals but just to bet on an chicken who fights against an penguin*bets all his money on the penguin* and by the way the chicken will win...
