PBEM39 Setup and Tech Thread

[scooter]

Once the current waves of pitboss signups have been figured out (PB8/PB9/MTDG) then let's revisit this. I think a lot of people are hesitant to commit to smaller PBEMs right now because they aren't sure of their participation status in the 3 big games that are forming at the moment.

Well, since you can't play as a necro in D3, I can play as one in the forums
So do we want to try this out or do a normalish one?

I'll do either, but let's try to get a roster first. So far we have:

1) SevenSpirits
2) Pindicator
3) scooter
4) ??
5) ??

Anyone else out there interested in either a pbem32 sequel or a normal game?

I'll definitely play in a pbem32-sequel. Not in a normal game though, don't want to commit to another normal game until the duel league is over. But if pbem32-sequel gets off the ground, it will be too awesome to miss

[SevenSpirits]

OK, well we only need one more for that then, let's do it. /weonlyneededonemoreteamforpb9toohmmmmm

[scooter]

Also, we got a lot of "hmmmyeahmaybe" for map maker and/or scenario creator... But is anyone interested in such a role?

We can theoretically play this with 4, but I think 5 is probably best.

(Yes, this means we'll go ahead with the 32-style sequel)

Sure, I'll make the map, once I finish the monumental task that is the EitB pitboss.. Seven, could I have your WB file from 32 to meditate upon?

Awesome, thanks. You interested in assigning the trait/tech bonus/maluses? Or would you rather just make the map and have someone else tune the scenario? I believe Krill/Gaspar both expressed some willingness to help with balance, but I'm not sure if we have any volunteers to take the lead on tuning the extras.

[Krill]

Balance in stages: make the core fo the map first then we can figure the rest out afterwards.

[Commodore]

Yeah, I'm fine with making the assignations or letting someone else call it, it'll be lurker council'd anyway. Knowing the map first helps with the trait balance (the Imp/Org seesaw the biggest).
