The party at the Scarlet Devil Mansion ? Part IAn puzzle adventure board game with fixed players. Depending on the interest and my time I will play another round with different members. Maximum entry, (10) players.
Description:You have received a personal invitation from Remilia Scarlet to the exclusive party at the Scarlet Devil Mansion. Your job is to attend the party with a gift and survive it.
GameplayBy PMing me your actions. Because the game is a puzzle RPG, use your intelligence to understand the possibilities and opportunities. In the follow section I will explain the core commands.
Actions are:Move <North/East/South/West> - move to the target location. See the map. (costs time) +30min
Lookaround ? gives specific detailed information of your area (costs time) +30min
Talk <person> - talk to the person (costs time) +30min
Yes/No/choice ? conditional incase possible (does not cost time)
Use/purchase ? use card or purchase (does not cost time) ((multiple items can be in the same time frame))
Game info and rulesThe game flow as follow:
- All players start at the human village at 7:00
- Guest will be arriving between 19:00 and 20:00
- Party starts at 20:00 exactly
- Party ends at 02:00
- Each player plays this on turns. A PM means a turn. Most actions make you waste 30min in game. See the actions list which ones do.
- I will constantly update the post.
- Certain unforeseen events can delay you even longer. Dicing (2d20) can occur.
- You start with two (2) random cards. Cards will be visible when shuffled and dealt.
- You start with 100 units of life.
- You got money to purchase things only once.
- I don?t care if you PM each other for information sharing. Game is last man standing or most points.
- Each card can be played once, excluding the Invitation card. This one can be always played and will not disappear through regular use.
- Scoring is given to correct actions or events.
ALL ACTIONS ARE PMED TO ME.
!) I will announce the actions and your action will be permanent, thus no changing or roll back possible. Think carefully. I won?t help out in making decisions or giving information.
!) Please use QUOTE reply for PMs when answering a conditional msg.
Global tips- I expect actually nobody to succeed on the first run. Because the game is simply extremely difficult.
- Think carefully about each of your actions as everything you do has consequences or different outcomes.
- Each card can be used only
once (except your invitation card, this one can be used endless times) at any desired time and/or location. Use your cards wisely. As death can be just around the corner
- You might have noticed the game is based on strict time management. And some would have guessed that it is very tight. Don't waste time if you know what to do obviously. (For example too much lookingaround)
- To somewhat make it less difficult: lookaround action on the movement squares (outside human village for example) does nothing. So don't waste your time.
- Your starting point (the square you are on, which is your house) is nothing special, don't waste action commands here either.
- The order in which you perform your actions / cards can be
extremely important. Think wisely again.
- the big ? on the squares on the map is a secret =P your choice whether to move over it or not.
To clarify more on how to play:Example on how to PM me. Everybody use the same.
PM title: PATSDM (so I can know its for the game). Let's act if you are 1 square removed from Marisa's house.
[PM number 1] 8:30 (Turn #1)
# Move East
Your location is updated, your timer is increased to 9:00. Your turn is now over.
[PM number 2] 9:00 (Turn #2)
# Talkto Marisa
# Use card <card>
You combined the card immediately within the dialogue. Your timer increases to 9:30. You receive a dialogue with conditional (yes/no) info. But your turn is over so you can think and plan ahead while waiting for your turn again.
[PM number 3] 9:30 (Turn #3)
# Yes
You chose yes, something will happen. No time is added because it is a conditional reply. You will receive another PM from me. Based on this PM you can choose to move for example.
[PM number 4] 9:30 (Turn #3)
# Move West
You chose to move out of the house, timer is increased and your turn is over now.This is basically how it works. I can understand it is extremely difficult to manage for me and you. But PM method is highly crucial as vital spoiling information is received over PMs. This could mean that the last player will have beneficial advantage of information before making his/her move.
That is why I will (try) to update the map and announcements simultaneously with each turn cycle (aka when everybody has made their move)
