[Meta Thread] Dragonstrike's Pokerole Test Game: Mount Coronet Mystery

[Spiritmon]

Spirit, there's no need to keep bringing this up.  It's honestly starting to get on my nerves a little.  I know what your opinion on it is already, and it's not because you won't let me forget.  It's getting to the point where the criticism isn't as constructive any more.  Please stop bringing it up.

Sorry in taking such long time to give a answer to that post. I think I been selfish and acting as a infant towards that. Maybe I should had by this point have get over it and just try to have fun. I just imagined the Ice Temple has such cool concept (no pun intended) with puzzles and battles, and the ending was...well, not reach what I had hyped. Just Legendary giving quest, no real useful information, and thats it. Cant help but feel it was potential wasted there. I can think in at least 3 possible better concepts of encounter ending in that temple:

1 - One of the Lake Trio could be imprison (could be Azelf or Mesprit) and we release them, and they could ask us to find the other two members in other locations, with reward of items, or maybe pieces of the puzzle in this Coronet mystery. And the last one could be Uxie, with a being of knowledge answer all the mystery as a final dungeon treasure hunting thing.

2 - The Lake Trio imprison in the artefacts, without us really know it was them and figure out later in the campaigh how to freed them from their prison. It could be a interesting mystery to try to find it.

3 - A projection of the Legendary Pokemon, warning the party about the darkness who is lurking inside Mt. Coronet, leaving a deadly feeling about what the hell happen or something like that.

And all this is just three of the solutions who could the Ice Encounter way better. Or even reward some of us with items who could really useful like: A item who can raise a Ghost HP, a Mega Stone, or whatever. So forgive me if I felt bittersweet about how things turned out. And I still pretty grumpy around the ending of Skull Ruins, so I felt fearful of this campaigh walking in the same path too.

But dont worry. This was the last time I will mentioned that. I just felt the need in adress why I been upset about...everything in this campaigh, and maybe acting as a jerk player. *Sigh* I admit I maybe be acting as a jerk, so, sorry about that. I promise at least change my behavior and try to have more genuine "fun" instead of just complain. Is the first campaigh you are GM in these forums, so I should be more...supportive.

Dragonstrike, could you confirm the piece of info about Curie and if this campaigh is in the timeline? If not, I will make the necessary changes in my post.

The events of Uranium are unaltered in my game.  Some misc. pieces of info related to the specific topic:

- Nuclears are generally confined to Tandor due to how dangerous they can be.  Tame ones may be taken outside of the region with special permissions, but such occasions are rare.

- Curie's true identity is not currently known to the general public due to the circumstances surrounding them.  There are those who have attempted to dig further into the topic to figure out who Curie is, but almost, if not all, of those attempts haven't succeeded as of yet.  If someone's figured it out, they haven't released that information.  (As such, calling Curie a 'he' is entirely in character)

If ya have other questions, let me know.

Also, sorry once again for the delays.  I've come down with a minor cold after being among countless people for a week and am not feeling great.  I'm aiming to get a post written tomorrow since I'm starting to slowly feel better after the last few days, though.

No problem mate. Take a rest, recover your strengh and then only come back when you feel better alright? No need to beat yourself friend.

(Ahem, the training session was in day 3, since Kogeki was awake and the training session was after the conversation with Kee, and I still have one encounter left. I would like to stick with that please.)

(Training session like I described Dragonstrike)

Last I remember, Kogeki already did 3 encounters on Day 3, @Spiritmon.

- Ursaring
- Multi Battle
- Wagon Search

Last time I checked, there wasn't a limited of encounters.

But for God sake...Then Kogeki did his training session with his Pokemon before depart. Just give Kogeki -2 disavantage of Dex in the next encounter, and to at least give me the chance of another encounter. Can we continue the training session scene or not?

[Spiritmon]

So...is this training gonna happen or you wait everyone to choose the paths to where everyone will go?

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

For heaven's sake people, please don't argue about something like a training session now; that's not worth any drama.

- The upper path is two encounters instead of one before you reach Mt. Coronet, but has no innate Dex penalties.

That's the path I prefer for us to follow as a group at best because splitting up to explore both paths just screams for trouble befalling us.

Given that I already said it wasDay 4 before you said anything about the training session and you had taken 3 encounters already during Day 3, Spirit, I'm gonna have to say there wasn't any time for a training session at the end of Day 3.

I know you're trying to keep things active, Spirit.  I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I'm also trying to carefully regulate the number of encounters and the difficulty of them for this mostly linear prestory.

Fine. Then forget the training session then. Screw this then.

Done. My post is done, and my decision made.
