We already have a huge number of NPCs to choose from. What if there was a way to pull from some of the existing NPCs' appearances? Actually, this reminds me of an idea I suggested a long time ago when there was some talk from the original developer of updating DMFI: I'd love to see either a random NPC generator or a way to quickly set the sex, size, head, and hair of an NPC kind of the way we have with clothes, so I could choose, human, male, head 3, hair 11, 0.98, 1.01, 1.01 and get an instant custom-designed NPC. This is much more a DM Tool than an RP adjunct, though. Also, I would like an OOC Time Creator, so I can have more time to play. Thanks! |

The mortuary penalty is one of the biggest reasons why if both my characters die, I just log off and do something else. It's especially true for Licca (and Lucia is getting close to that point as well), as the penalty means I lose about two weeks of work leveling her. ![]() As for enhancing RP, how about something that would allow us to do a mass renaming of a big pile of consumable objects? For example, in reference to some Harmonium/Free League RP a couple of months ago, we could have something that could rename 20 quarterstaffs simultaneously to "Walking Sticks to Protest Harmonium Abuse and Criminal Activity". Or, another example for my own RP is that I have 50 foodstuff items, and I could rename them all (and edit their descriptions all at the same time) something like, "Licca's Delicious Chocolate Cake". This could be done as well for distributing copies of SIGIS for those who don't want to use the forums. By extension, you would probably need a chest object that can be used without tripping the "I'm a thief" message that can be accessed by normal players. |

A little of topic but I have a character of around the same level and I am always looking for help levelling. It means if you do die there's more likely to be someone to raise you so if you see me in game while you are trying to grind please send me a tell. |

pfft, i simply thought getting stuck in a planar prison upon dieing, with the one chance to get away without losing xp due to respawn, could be a variation on the theme, especially during those days you have no companions to rescue you and losing xp is boooooring
also, see? licca indirectly second my idea U_U |

Offtopic, but the easiest way to get your last level is not through grinding. Low level characters need jink badly, but XP is relatively easy to come by, offer them decent money for their books and trade them in. Can even lead to some RP, having players go out and collect books for you. There are also the Astral mechanical parts, but the XP reward on those is highly scaled, i think a level 29 would get about 2 XP per part... not tested it, but the formula is really unfavourable to the highest levels.... on the other hand, its really favourable to lower level chars.... how about trading mechanical parts for books? Figure out what a good exchange rate would be... 3 or 4 books per part? |

I'm trying to avoid the trap of "get higher-leveled players to roleplay more instead of grinding to level 30" discussion, so I'll just simply say that forcing a particular kind of roleplay is definitely not conducive to enhancing roleplay as a whole. As previously mentioned, it's not good to force anyone into roleplaying. (It's especially true for Licca in particular... Sensates aren't supposed to force anyone into anything!) As an off-topic aside, doing the "books to parts trade" is actually not IC for any of my characters, which is why I don't do it. |

Re: Prisons... Let's not forget another one that currently exists (as an event area) in the module: the Wells of Darkness, where ancient demon lords and other horrifyingly powerful creatures have been imprisoned for millennia. Of course, it's in the module because some players were dumb enough to want to let someone out.... which means there's a well without an occupant. Hop right in, er_nano! |

I remember the Wells plot. Excellent time. Back on topic: Used to play on Myths of Atalan years ago and they had custom stances, sitting positions etc. More than just the pc player tool I mean. They even had really great ones for weapons and martial arts. The crane kick, double fist strike, etc. It was quite useful if you were ever training someone something while the former was just much better and gave a wider range of postures. I also think an in game tool for changing your pcs description would be nice. Sometimes it takes awhile to really imagine what your pc looks like, their mannerisms and their speech. Having a tool to do this would help all characters, even if it is to add a scar from an important battle or alchemical test gone wrong. |

Credits of the creation go to Agony, I'll take the blame for poor marketing. Will have to consider some more visibility to it. |

I think that a nice bump to RP would be to have the RP XP wands work while on player accounts. Right now, I have to log out and in again to give RP XP. Someone like Licca probably ought to have enough RP XP to get to 30, but hasn't because I have not been on the DM Client of late. (I guess now I could edit the database file, but still.) What if we made RP XP tools that worked player side? Perhaps with checks to see that they are in the hands of the player they were meant for? |

Off-topic, I'm pretty sure I don't have enough to get me up to 30, but I don't think one should roleplay just for the purpose of gaining XP anyway. It would be like me quitting my job and doing cosplay for a living. As for another enhancing roleplay suggestion... could we make it so that the beds can actually be slept in, such as actually being able to have your character actually lie in bed? I know it can be done with a lot of... uhh... weird movements and whatnot, but a one stop solution similar to the chairs would be nice. Not lying down on a bed made it kind of goofy when it came to some RP involving massages, and I think Licca is getting tired of sleeping on hard benches.

I'm fairly certain lying on beds can be done. We have the animations, just the bed objects themselves need to be set so they can accept kemo animations. Cere is probably best to comment on this though. |
