RPGDL Discussion / Re: Behind the Scenes at the Duelling League: Happy Endings

« on: February 06, 2010, 06:42:55 AM »

In the beginning, it was coincidence that three particular random events occurred simultaneously in three very different worlds. Lucca Ashtear was unveiling her newest transportation device at the Millenium Fair. Lilka Eleniak was preparing a Teleport Gem for her next destination on Filgaia. And at a celebration party somewhere, Viki sneezed.

The resulting dimensional rift in the time-space continuum brought all three to a small pocket dimension uninhabited by sentient life. Surprised and distraught, the three young women set to work trying to open a portal to their individual homes.

The brilliant mind of Lucca Ashtear led them through the scientific rigor of testing various devices powered by both physical and magical forces. Lilka, though still an apprentice mage, had studied enough to break down the normal processes of magical teleportation and dimensional travel. Viki, eager to help, was in charge of making tea.

After a few attempts at dimensional travel that had only succeeded in transporting items like trees, bicycles, and an abandoned space station to the pocket dimension, the group finally created a stable portal. And to their fortune, the first thing to come falling unceremoniously out of the portal was the revered Lenneth Valkyrie, who was on her way to a time-shifted Midgard in pursuit of a vagrant time-travelling deviant. Some reports of this incident recall that Viki had once again sneezed.

With the help of an all-powerful Creation Goddess who was in hurry, the group began to open multiple portals to all kinds of different realities. While some were not so friendly, quite a few of dimension-displaced victims were quite adventurous. Exploration of the small pocket dimension began. As more and more ammenities became easy to attain, some of ever-expanding group began to grow attached to the world.

Indeed, after returning to their home dimensions for some much-needed world-saving, each of the original founders ended up coming back to the pocket dimension's tranquil atmosphere. A vacation spot of sorts for some, a chance for entrepeneurship for others. It wasn't long before the more battle-minded visitors set up a tournament, using the pocket dimension's multiple portals to invite champions from all across the multi-verse. It ended up being quite a profitable spectator sport.

To this day, Lucca and Lilka (and by honorable mention, Viki) remain the go-to experts on DL Portal Management, though with the enormous amount of technological and magical experts visiting the realm, the system is hardly ever in need of repairs. Many scientists throughout the multi-verse have hailed the DL's engineering department as a bastion of education, and applauded the use of the DL's profits from its Sporting division to fund their research efforts.

Dr. Ashtear proudly stated in a recent interview, "The only thing the organization spends more on than the Transport Research department is the DL Medical division... And when you consider the amount of casualities and creative methods of destroying eachother the Duelists have devised, the focus on White Magic and Cloning technology really becomes a bigger priority."

-Except from "History of the DL" Documentary, Part one


This is kind of how I imagine the DL... A little bit more light-hearted than most, maybe?

This sort of reminds me of Chaos Wars.   Why don't you post this on the fanfic section?

New bonus match

'Notice: Due to the success of the previous Unranked match, the RPGDL management have decided to host the second unranked match.

Unlike the previous one where a super PC is pitted against a super boss, this match will be between super PC Vs super PC. This time Cloud Strife with the cheap (and infamous) KOTR and Mime combo will be pitted against Squall with fully Junctioned stats.

We feel that the stadium needs to be repaired and strengthen to withstand the possible damage done by these two duellers, in particular, the mimed KOTR.'

Results:

Cloud shows that KOTR and Mime is superior to Junction.

Squall shows how powerful a Junctioned Character can be.

Some main-site exposure would be nice, though. Bonus match-style is go.

Don't worry the NR is back as a bonus match. 

Perhaps inspired by the unranked bonus match but The God knows best. Ask Djinnandtonic about it.

Sigh, nothing lasts forever I suppose.

Okay, what about English patched games? Do they fall into this category? I wanted to include Chaos Wars but due to the very high stats of the characters I decided against it.

RPGDL Discussion / Re: Allowing storebought damage magic in the DL

« on: November 30, 2009, 01:38:50 AM »

There has been some serious discussion recently about allowing storebought (or easily given to any PC) damage magic for casts in the DL. This applies only to damage magic, not healing, status-infliction, buffing, or other such effect spells.  The reasons behind this are multifold but mostly it represents the in-game damage scales better and allows good mages to properly shine. Some other benefits include single elemental resists coming up less often due to more damage variety and less arbitrary inflation for some casts.

I figured we could use a topic to discuss some of the points of this and what casts it effects. A listing of the casts potentially effected would be...

Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy 6, Final Fantasy 7,  Final Fantasy 8 (?), Grandia 1, Lufia 2, Mana Khemia, Pokemon, Every single last Suikoden, Saga Frontier, Valkyrie Profile, and Wild Arms 5.

Some of the biggest winners of this interp are runeless suikoden mages, Aeris, Tia, some (unranked) water type Pokemon, Relm, and others. As a result of this a lot of damage averages go up slightly so that would hurt a lot of fighters and mages with non-storebought/initial magic a little bit. It would be a good idea to collect numbers for in the future.

So feel free to post thoughts on this system and what the effects are. For example what magic should be allowed and who it makes better and by how much. This is NOT a discussion for what you think is allowed under some kind of plot claim/gameplay claim system (ala the recent GF posts or various specific materia/esper setups and so on). Please limit this to the relevant storebought/easily obtainable for all users damage magic. Note again that this is only damage magic, not status.

I second the damage bought magic, as long as the final attack + knights of the round and similar spells are banned that is.

As of now I'm playing Emulators for the bolded and underlined games; SMRPG, GBA Castlevanias, Mario and Luigi Superstar saga, Metroid Prime 3 (I finally beat it at 75% pick up) and Paper Mario.

I'm starting to feel tired of RPG's with random or turn based battles or at least one of those you hit, they hit RPGs.

It had to happen sometime. A new arena is build to accommodate the first official unranked duellists match. Due to the amount of firepower the contestant possesses the management decides to construct the stadion from some of the strongest material in the universe such as Adamantin and Mythril.

Basically instead of steel as the skeleton they use Mythril and instead of concrete they use Adamantin. Somewhat unorthodox but when one considers the reason this arena is meant for contestants who can't be judged due to their strength its understandable.

The first Match is also best describe as 'destructive.' The two contestants are Ryu 5 from Breath of Fire 5 and Ethereal/ Iseria Queen from Tri-aces games.

Both are known for their power. Ryu 5 is known for as a PC with an invincibility and powering up skill whereas Ethereal Queen is known as the super powered optional bosses of SO and VP series. Needless to say both are eager to proof which one of them is superior to the other.

At the stadium.

"So why have you decided to host this now, Nate?"

"Well, Chisato when you have some of them suddenly appearing at your office demanding this kind of match you can see how this match will generate a very handsome profit", Nate replied.

To this Chisato replied, "You mean threatening to de-atomize you?"
"Oh, hush."

"And we won't get even a cent of it right?"

"Well, your a janitor Odin. Why should I pay you even a dime? Enough of this just go cover the match will you, Chisato? Oh, and Odin," asked Nate?

"Yes boss."

"Use Gungnir instead of the usual mop. I have a feeling it will be a very bloody mess."

Result:

• Ryu 5 wins.
• Ethereal/ Iseria Queen wins.
• Draw.

Hmm you do have a point. Don't worry, I'll edit her out and replace her with the fifth Ryu  .

Update: I've edited my submission. Hiro have been replaced with the fifth Ryu. A bit overkill I know but this is the unranked division.
