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

[Dragonstrike]

You have a point, but I still reserve the right to speak up about the design choices you made. If I agree with something, I'll let you know and why, but the same is true if I disagree with something. If I refuse to do the later, then stuff that negatively impacts my experience will not be addressed and brought to your attention, which means I suffer in silence and have a poorer time overall. This is your game, so you have the right to do as you wish with it, but if I find something you done to be disagreeable, I will let you know about it straight up without dancing around how I word my response. 

Be that as it may, I won't complain about your approach to Weather anymore. I've spoken my piece about it, and like I said I will live with it. I'll also point out that I was not object to realism be used in general for the entire game, but rather to it being used to arbitrarily (in my opinion) restrict Moves and Abilities. The Pokemon World is inherently a blend of realistic and unrealistic elements, so asking it to be divorced from realism in your campaign is entirely unreasonable and stupid, and that was not what I was suggesting with my complaints.

I'm not exactly in a position to say you shouldn't.  Otherwise, I'd be quite the hypocrite, now, wouldn't I?

Yeah, I mostly stated that because I knew already what your stance on the weather thing is already.  And yes, I'd very much appreciate it if the complaints were kept to a minimum, at least as far as that specific topic is concerned.  Mostly because you don't know the exact extent and nature of how I'm handling it quite yet (I promise it'll (hopefully) be clearer when we get to my main game.)

IC, everyone knows weather doesn't necessarily work in unfavorable conditions.  But there's also room for strange things to happen that normally wouldn't if the conditions are suited for such things (Randolph's already seen the connection, too), given the exact nature of the game I've set up, and it's something I've demonstrated in Kogeki's backstory already.  Make of that what you will, as that's really the most I can say without giving away the answer outright.

Now, for clarification purposes...is Randolph going to spend his first encounter looking for parts for the mechanical prosthetic? The neuro sensors in particular would definitely take an encounter to look for since they're rare items.

Or is Randolph going straight to the Snowpoint Temple (bringing along whoever else wishes to come) after leaving the Center? Depending on what the rest of the group might want to do, putting that off might be something to consider.
