Nice to know you're proceeding ahead with
the Uldeseen Project! (I'm still wondering
if you read my DraKen page? There's some
interesting ideas there, and it could easily
integrate with the MM.)
Here's a few reasons.
Characters can interact with NPCs in merchant
shops to purchase supplies. (given they're
supplied with X amount of funds), and then
can proceed as they see fit. Purchases can be
made by trading equipment scavenged from
defeated enemy forces, or the occasional
reward reaped by completing missions or
prompts successfully. They would range from
the usual, like escorting a merchant to a
colony, to the asinine, which can range to
picking a cat out of a tree or acting like a
chicken before the mayor. (on national avian
appreciation day, of course! :)
Since stories will simply be chronicled
according to pictures, etc, this should
work very well with the scenerio process
and maps. (assuming each player builds a
city with MM structures, then assigns
them a position on a map. Players than
traverse about the map, moving in small
sectors at a time.)
Let's assume one of these grids would equate
to a full day's (or weekly) travel.
Movement would vary depending on mode of
transportation, so I would say between one
and three grids.
For a situation where several parties
happen to encounter, they would all be
notified of the situation, and then each
faction would be asked to confirm their
choices, which would be forwarded to
the other parties. (for the sake of
accurate reports.)
After receipt of the other parties
decisions regarding the conflict,
each party generates a report of
the events that happened, according
to them. (since I don't see much of
a way actual battles could occur on
lugnet.) After all reports are
submitted by the parties, the moderator
then reads them all and decides which
makes the most sense. The victor can
remain at the spot or move, while any
defeated parties fall back to their
previous grid.
A final report would then be issued by
the moderator to estimate what actually
happened, according to his judgement.
