I have so much that I have to do, I need one thing that I want to do.
So I want to play another daemon dice game. We can do random starters or constructed or whatever you want.

I could take another stab at you Plus it would allow me to finish fine tuning the bbcode generator for dd inventory.
How about constructed? |

I could use the opportunity to steal your ideas and improve my BBCode generation too
So anything goes? I'll post an army after lunch. I need to think about this a bit. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

I've considered a mongrel and a half breed, but right now I'm digging on this Fire Daemon ability, though Blood is a close second.
For this one let's do this:
This is my Initiative Roll:
Initiative:5 Minuses:2 Targeted Minuses:0

I wondered what that foul smell was as soon as you entered the forum chamber. I should've known...
Three Minuses: three of my tentacles.
This is my daemons roll:
| Active | Minuses | Grabbing | Grabbed | Stunned | Wounded | | Daemon |           |    | | | | | | Rolled |           | | | | | |
Use this link to clone this daemon or update it or take next turn.
No recovery.
Defend:
Shield against the Stun Plus
So I will suffer the Stun ,Mouth and Stench(stun), which will be the three minuses tentacles. I guess I didn't sew them on as well as I thought. They aren't very effective.
Attack:
No minuses
Stun
Stun
Tail Plus
Stun
Wound
Wound

Start of my turn. No minuses to apply, so:
| Roll | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(Arm) |
(Arm) |  |
(Mouth) |
(Shell) |
(Shell) |  |
(Stinger) |  |  |  |  |
(Potion) |
Nothing to recover (yet).
Defenses:
Buckler -> Tail Plus
Block -> Wound
Block -> Wound
Block -> Stun
So, I'll have to take three stuns. However, your special ability turns one of those into a wound. I'll take an Arm as my wound, and my other Arm and the Shell used in the defense as my stuns.
Attacks:
Stinger
Dart Plus
Dart Plus
Stun
3 Minus
1 Targeted Minus, which I'll use on a Shield.
End of my turn.

Nice roll, if only more of my 'sweeping' would've come up.
Minuses:
Wing and then 3: the tentacle and two scythes
This is my daemons roll:
| Active | Minuses | Grabbing | Grabbed | Stunned | Wounded | | Daemon |       |     | | |    | | | Rolled |       | | | | | |
Use this link to clone this daemon or update it or take next turn.
Recover: sigh, I need to save my plus for later to avoid the wound. So nothing.
Defend:
block/block => Dart plus
Deflect/plus => Dart plus
So I suffer a :Stun,Stench
which will be the last tentacle and a tail.
Leaving a stun and a tail against you.
This is the status of my daemon:
| Active | Minuses | Grabbing | Grabbed | Stunned | Wounded | | Daemon |      |    | | |      | |
Use this link to clone this daemon or update it or take next turn.

I looked over your list of attacks four times and my eye jumped over the stinger every time.
It has to be a tail, so moving on. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

Since the Stinger got thru, it goes to the wound pool.
Start of my turn. No minuses so:
| Roll | | | | | | | | |
(Lungs) |
(Mouth) |
(Shell) |  |  |
(Buckler) |  |
(Dart) |
(Potion) |
Recovery: Use two of the pluses to recovery the Arm and Shell.
Defense:
Deflect -> Tail
So, I suffer one stun, which becomes a wound. I'll take the Arm I recovered earlier.
Attacks:
Dart Plus
Stinger
Stun
Stun
1 Targeted Minus, which I'll once again use against your Shield.
You also have a Poison.
End of my turn.

I think we are nearing the end and not in a good way for me...
minuses: shield
Rolling:
This is my daemons roll:

Use this link to clone this daemon or update it or take next turn.
Recover:
Recover a tentacle with the plus
Defend:
shield =>dart plus
Then suffer:
stringer
stun
stun
stench
poison
and I only have three body parts.
So I am dead.
*sob*
Your stench was just too overpowering.
Wanna try again with these same designs just to see if it happens any differently? _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

We will see how it goes at Gencon, but I would love to make all games two of three.
Maybe I'll get more than three turns this time.
This is my Initiative Roll:
Initiative:5 Minuses:2 Targeted Minuses:0
Use this link to clone this daemon.Use this link to take your next turn.
I also got five, so its a tie.
Here is my second initiative roll:
This is my Initiative Roll:
Initiative:4 Minuses:1 Targeted Minuses:0
Use this link to clone this daemon.Use this link to take your next turn. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

I hope going second is not whats causing me to lose, but I suspect its atleast part of it. First blood and in this case I lost much of my attack as damage.
So 1 minus which I'll take on a Scythe.
This is my daemons roll:
| Active | Minuses | Grabbing | Grabbed | Stunned | Wounded | | Daemon |             |  | | | | | | Rolled |             | | | | | |
Use this link to clone this daemon or update it or take next turn.
I got the plusses I needed, but no blocks to put them on...
Nothing to recover (yet)
Defending against(if I can read properly)
Shield=>Stinger Plus
Mouth
Stinger Plus
Stun
Stun
Stench
So I have to suffer 5 stuns and I'm poisoned right out of the gate? another short game.
Two tails (which rolled stuns), Three tentacles (that rolled plus and both minus).
That leaves for Attacks:
tentacle (which grabs your buckler)
1 minus
Tail
Stun
Scythe plus
stun
EOT
This is my daemons roll:
| Active | Minuses | Grabbing | Grabbed | Stunned | Wounded | | Daemon |        |  | | |      | | | Rolled |        | | | | | |
Use this link to clone this daemon or update it or take next turn.
Gonna be a VERY short game. I expect to lose on my next turn.
I'm discovering that I need to update the UI on my tool. or maybe rotate my table 90 degrees... my long term plan was to put both players and have it print out a 'board', but that only works for two players... hmm... _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

There is no minus against me since you took that die for a stun. The stinger that got you goes to the wound pool.
Start of my turn.
| Brad | Active | | | | | | | | | | | Wounded | Entangled | Poison: 0
Pure-Breed
Stench |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | |
Cliff |
No minuses to apply, so
| Roll | | | | | | | | | | |
(Arm) |
(Arm) |  |
(Mouth) |
(Shell) |  |
(Stinger) |  |
(Dart) |  |
(Potion) |
Defenses:
Shell -> Scythe Plus
Block -> Stun
Block -> Stun
So, I'll take two stuns from the Tail one of which becomes a wound. I'll stun/wound my two arms.
Attacks:
Stun
Stun Plus
Dart Plus
3 Minus
1 Targeted Minus, which I'll use (surprise) against a Shield.
Plus the poison and stench damage.
End of my turn.
| Brad | Active | | | | | | | | Spent | Stunned | Wounded | Entangled | Poison: 0
Pure-Breed
Stench |  |
( Mouth ) |
( Shell ) |
( Stinger ) |  |

I've decided to stop trying. The harder I try, the more mistakes I make. I knew that minus was gone, it was just a cut-n-paste mistake.
I dislike this format for online playing....
Shield is minused from wings.
other three will be: the two scythes and a tail.
This is my daemons roll:
| Active | Minuses | Grabbing | Grabbed | Stunned | Wounded | | Daemon |    |     |  | |      | | | Rolled |    | | | | | |
Use this link to clone this daemon or update it or take next turn.
Recover: Use the plus to recover a Tail.
Defend:
Stun
Stun Plus
Shield=>Dart Plus
poison
stench damage
which leaves 4 stuns.
I have four body parts.
I'm done. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |

If you had gone first, it wouldn't surprise me if you would have won. You've got a lot of offensive dice there that could put quite a hurt on me.
So, want to compare notes on BBCode generation?
For yours, I think you need to change this:
| Quote: | | Initiative:5 Minuses:2 Targeted Minuses:0 |
This is hard to parse. You need to split the parts up better. Either this
Initiative:5
Minuses:2
Targeted Minuses:0
or this
Initiative=5, Minuses=2, Targeted Minuses=0
As for mine, I am undecided how to format the die's name below the die when its showing a non-ID side. The three formats are shown here:
| Roll | | |
( Lungs ) |
(Stinger) |
Wings |
Parenthesis or no parenthesis? Put spaces between name and parenthesis or not?
| Quote: | | I dislike this format for online playing.... |
In what way? |

So the key point is. If you are overly offensive, make sure you get the first turn. So rather than those shields maybe a bellows or even more potions would help boost my initiative roll.
So this online format... I've spent a lot of time playing 'for real' and the way you get to lineup the dice makes it very easy and apparent. you don't need all these 'words' to get in the way or to forget to write down a minus or forget to take it away when you stun that die. Its just simpler with real dice and I'm stumbling over trying to format the game as a post.
My current version is based on how some other people were representing their turns. I was trying to minimized the 'footprint', that's why i put so much on one line. but then I increased my footprint with my links back into the editor...
My original goal for my online was to represent both players and format it like the playmat. thus like DragonDice we can just post 'the board' and that's all you need to know. But its restricted to two player only. maybe I should go back to that plan. Then I could have the entire turn generated via the tool and no typing of words at all.
As for yours... I think its fine w/o the parenthesis. _________________ Multiplayer Champion Gencon11/Battlefest Champion(tied) GenCon10/World Champion GenCon07/National Champion Origins05/Intermediate Champion GenCon02/Novice Champion Origins99 |
