Dawn of Tyrath [Play Thread]

[Lord Iames Osari]

And the DII EMME thought, and the gods were. And the DII EMME thought again, and the world was, and the DII EMME spake, and the world was called TYRATH. And the DII EMME spake again, and bade the gods go to TYRATH, and shape it as they saw fit, except for that part which the DII EMME set aside for himself.

So, here's the game thread, everybody. As the author/gamemaster who uses this world, I have decided that I will go last in the first round. The rest of you need to roll to see who goes first this round: 2d6, highest wins.

Tyrath as it stands now (area outlined in red is my private area, that only I can alter):

Roll to see who goes first, and then I'll email them the .svg of the map.

[Meynolds]

It has begun.

(2d6)[6]

[dyslexicfaser]

Sorry for the wait, I forgot all about this game.

(2d6)[6]

EDIT: Huh. And in the event of a tie?

[Lord Iames Osari]

Ummm...

Each of you roll a d20.

[dyslexicfaser]

Aye aye, cap'n. (1d20)[4]

[Meynolds]

Will do.

(1d20)[6]

[Lord Iames Osari]

Ok. Of the two of you, Meynolds will go first.

Now we're just waiting for the 6th prime.

[Meynolds]

Used all 6 points to add ~2in of forest.

I enlarged the key a bit to make it easier to use.

Hopefully, my attaching the svg file and sending it to Osari went off without a hitch.

Spent 3 of my 6 points on a Shape Land; I made a 1" in diameter island. Holding onto the remaining 3 points for next turn.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Please post a .png version of the map, too.

[dyslexicfaser]

I'm afraid I don't know how, since a simple cut/paste doesn't do it.

[Meynolds]

In Inkscape: File -> Export Bitmap, select the 'drawing' tab -> OK.

Or just take a screenshot of it. Either way works.

[dyslexicfaser]

And once I export it into a .png file? Then what?

EDIT: I'm assuming it's not Insert Image, since that says it needs a url?

[Meynolds]

Use Photobucket or a similar website (Such as Imageshack) to upload it and copy the URL from there.

[dyslexicfaser]

No dice, sorry. Photobucket says both .svg and .png are 'nvalid file type'.

[Meynolds]

.png works fine for me. All my avatars that I upload are that. Do you have any kind of image editing software on your computer (Such as Photoshop)? If you do, open it with that and save it as a .gif, .jpg or any other format that works for Photobucket.

I just checked Photobucket and it should support .png files. The full list: gif, jpg, jpeg, png, bmp.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Points (2d6=4)

Made some clarification to my private section (made it clear that there is forest in a particular spot)

Also, altered about 1" of land.

I forgot to roll for round two: (2d6)[4]

[dyslexicfaser]

(2d6)[4]

Me too. It's your turn, right Meynold?

EDIT: So, 4 plus the 3 I had left over from last turn, plus 1 for starting the turn with less than 5 points: 8 total.

[Meynolds]

I'll have a new map up tomorrow and email it to dyslexicfaser. I'm a bit too tired to do it right now.

[Meynolds]

Sorry for the delay, last minute summer homework bogged me down.

Spoiler

Enlarged the forest by an estimated 1 inch. Likely slightly more though.

[dyslexicfaser]

Got the photobucket thing working - for now, at least.

6 pts to form a 2" island above the first. 2 pts left in reserve.

Rolling for next round: (2d6+2)[9]

[Lord Iames Osari]

Just rolling at the moment; the map will come later today.

2d6 2=8 ('cause I had 1 point left after my last turn, plus 1 for having <4...)

[Meynolds]

Rolling for the next round: (2d6+4)[13] (2 left from last round, two rounds in a row having less than 5 at the end of the round).

[Lord Iames Osari]

Okay, here's the map. Sorry it took me so long, guys.

Basically i spent 6 points to extend the hills beyond my private zone and turned them into mountains again, leaving me with 2 points, a +2 bonus, for a net of +4 points for next round.

[Meynolds]

Don't worry about it, your Lordship.

I'll post something within an hour after pulling myself away from Advance Wars. Which is very addicting.

Expanded the forest about 3in for 9 points, leaving me with 4. Add in the +3 cumulative bonus for having <5 points, and I get +7 points for the next round. Roll in next post.

[Meynolds]

Points for Round 4: (2d6+7)[13]

[dyslexicfaser]

Wow, so sorry for the incredibly long wait, guys. Almost two weeks? That's ridiculous. Hopefully my photobucket and everything is working okay.

Beginning with 11pts: Gave the small island 1" of forest (3pts), the large island 1" of mountains (3pts) and then altered the weather in the northwest 1" into snowy tundra (3pts). 2 pts left over.

(2d6+5)[13] (3 bonus pts, 2 left over)

Did the tutorial I linked you to help?

[dyslexicfaser]

Somewhat. I just browsed through it, so it's all still a bit Greek to me. I'll need to go over it more thoroughly when school isn't hitting me quite so hard.
