Today, March 9, is my birthday. I was not able to get the game I wanted to run for my birthday together in time, so I'm just gonna run a little game.

Here's how it works. The game I'm working on is "Sylestia Clue." To play this little game, just give me an idea for how I can adapt Clue to Sylestia. If I judge your idea to have potential, you get a free breeding to any pet in my Stables that is currently up for breeding, no matter how high the usual breeding fee is.

Furthermore, once I decide how I'm going to run the Sylestia Clue game, if I actually use your idea, you get a second free breeding to any pet that's up for breeding. It doesn't have to be the same as the first one you chose.

In the second post, I will place all the ideas that have already exist, to prevent duplication. It is perfectly okay to submit an idea that is similar to someone else's, as long as the two ideas aren't identical.

Please don't post in this thread until the second post is up. You don't have to ping me when you submit an idea, but please do ping me if you want to ask a question.

Have fun! Be creative!

P.S. On my birthday I tend to feel generous, so if there's a pet of mine you want to buy, but it isn't for sale or the price is too high for you, please PM me. There's no harm in asking.

Current Ideas For Sylestia Clue

01. Have Jinxie be the murder victim.

02. Players take the roles of Sylestia's NPCs, such as--
Jaxle Juniper
Farm Maiden Rosemary
Chancellor Aedernis

03. Have players take the roles of Sylestia's villains, such as--
Elryssa the Huntress
Lord Talon
Zutherian the Arch Lich

04. Place mirrors from Aryth's Spire inside the building, instead of secret passages.

05. Instead of locations inside a building, use the areas of Sylestia: The Forgotten Tomb, Town Hall in the Sanctuary of Saerielle, etc.
--However--
With this one, how would the players walk from "room" to "room"? If you have an idea that could solve this, please suggest it!

06. The murder weapons could be avatar items--
Knife: Vorkid Fang, Desert Wanderer's Scimitar, Cicada Aviator's Cutlass ... (lots of options for a knife).
Revolver: Lupora Tamer's Hand Crossbow, Toy Squirt Gun, Archer's Bow , etc.
Rope: Shadow Thief's Whip , Cloud Explorer's Whip, or Sailor's Anchor .
Lead Pipe: Fauna Caretaker's Panpipes, Pan Pipes, or Rolling Pin.
Candlestick: Festive Candle, Lava Dancer's Tiki Torch , Arctic Nomad's Lantern, etc.
Wrench: Sylestian Engineer's Wrench, or maybe a Woodsman's Axe or Elegant Leaf Shovel , since they are also tools.

07. Instead of the "cards" showing images of the weapons, each "card" shows an image of the recipient's current Avatar holding that weapon (or perhaps of the Clue character they are playing, holding the weapon). If, during the game, the player has to show that "card" to another player, they can actually show the image of them holding the weapon.

08.At the beginning of each new turn (or each new round of turns), I use a random number generator to "roll" a number from 1 to 6. Depending upon which number comes up, I either--
1. Move all the players' tokens to random rooms.
2. Give a random player a random clue card from the deck.
3. Something else interesting.
4-6. No effect.

09. Create the game board by superimposing the outlines of "rooms" and "corridors" on a map of Sylestia, like so--


10. Players are 'Good' NPCs and there's a separate set of 'Villain' NPCs that are the "who dunnit" characters. That way no player ends up in the position of accusing themselves of the murder.

Instead of a building location, use the areas of sylestia. For example, so and so was found doing this at the forgotten tomb. Could use the mirror idea as portals for the 'bad guy' to get from place to place.

The "rooms" could be different areas around Sylestia (Faerina's Shrine, TLG, maybe even a dungeon?).
(oh, this was already mentioned)
...what about the areas in a town, then? "Jinxie was found murdered in the Arena... huh, maybe Malgron did it"

And the murder weapons could be avatar items?
-Knife = Vorkid Fang, Desert Wanderer's Scimitar, Corrupted Dryad's Hook Sword, Cicada Aviator's Cutlass... (lots of options for a knife)
-Revolver = Lupora Tamer's Hand Crossbow, or... Toy Squirt Gun? :P
-Rope = Shadow Thief's Whip, Cloud Explorer's Whip...? (we don't seem to have much in the way of ropes)
-Lead Pipe = Fauna Caretaker's Panpipes? Plain old Pan Pipes?
-Candlestick = Festive Candle, Lava Dancer's Tiki Torch?
-Wrench = Sylestian Engineer's Wrench!

Good idea, Shadow, although I must point out that, in Clue, the murderer is one of the players.

Pick a pet you would like a free breeding from.

Oops. I assumed that "areas around Sylestia" included the places inside towns, Som.

However, your idea about the weapons has possibilities. I confess I was really not sure how to proceed with the weapons. The avatar Held items do line up fairly well with the traditional Clue weapons.

Please let me know which pet you'd like a free breeding to.

Torgan Sira? :D

One of my fave Lucky boys. He's all set, Som.

Thanks~ :D

Have a world-based version and an area-based version? and Instead of cards of the rooms, have something that represents the area?

Example, Astryl's Vale has 4 main locations to it, Veridian Meadows has 5 locations (although technically there could be more due to the locations that *were* there but no longer are) by itself to it.

You could play an 'easy mode' version in Astryl's Vale, while Umbra Forest has 7 locations and would be a little harder.



For item examples, say you were playing a game in Veridian Meadows

--Esior's haven could have something like lesser snare traps (one of the first things you can buy in the game) // Newbie's Mundane Relic (one of the first relics i think you get in the game)// Standard Genetic kits (scanner/ test kits)

--trollsblight caverns could have Haven Guardsmen's relic (gotten for completing that quest)// Fluffy Truffles Band // Lady Elora's Bracelet

***Or, if you want to keep it Avatar Items, the Worn Mossy Staff is something you either did or didn't get in Trollsblight Caverns, so you could do that, and Esior's haven would be "Haven Guardsman's outfit".


Astryl's Tower would be some sort of potion, since it's one of the unique 'events' when going through there.


Or, in a Regional Game,
Veridian Meadows would be something like the lesser snare traps// one of the guardsmen's pet items // Guardsman's outfit
Umbra Forest would be Standard Snare Trap// one of the Elven pet items // one of the elven avi items like the Glaive or something
Astryl's Vale would be represented by Grove stuff/ Gladiator stuff or something.



Anyway, just my two cents and rambling.

EDIT--
Just an added Idea after i posted originally, but if everything was made using Avi Items, you could generate your avatar to have your alloted 'cards' on your avi individually before the game starts, and then when someone asks, you could 'show' aka link in a PM, the corresponding pre-genned pic.

Or, i think you could manipulate the url to show the stuff you have? Something along those lines too so you don't bulk up your actual inventory?
