[edit] Stuff Exported From the Forum

[edit] First Post

I am going to attempt to create a web app to track many aspects of the game. The main role play element will still be on RPoL, as well as you giving me commands, but the character sheets and such would effectively go to the app.

(-:

The first thing to do is to figure out how to model everything, I am going to start by listing categories of items/things that we deal with in the game.

 Energy
  People
    Races (population)
    Skilled Workers
    Teachers
    Priests
  Monuments
    Temples
    Statues
    Other things
 Effects
  Miracles
    Instantaneous
    Slow effects
  Longterm/Permanent effects
 Locations
  Cities
  Landscape features
  Other places

Monuments

Monuments are things that have some effect on game place. The biggest effect that will need to be tracked in the app is that most monuments will do one of three things. They will boost produce energy, store energy, or have an upkeep.

An objecte will effectively never both have an upkeep and produce energy, because one will effectively negate the other (or they will zero eachother out).

An object usually won't both store and produce energy. Which is more important, is up to individual style.

Current Character Sheet layout

This is a good place to start with modeling the new character sheet.

At the moment, each sheet has

   I.  Fellowship Summary
       A. Total Fellowship (population and power produced)
       B. Total number of "Normal" followers
       C. Special Followers
       D. Priesthood
  II.  One or More cities/Locations
       A.  Location Name
       B.  Summary of Followers for that Location.
 
 III.  Summary of Monuments and Special Locations
  IV.  Summary of Storage
       A.  What objects are used for storage
           1.  How much energy does each contain.
   V.  Special Items that don't fit elsewhere
  VI.  Summary of power income,  upkeep, and storage.

Part of the process of creating the app will be to unify the character sheets so that they all have the same format. They may not all have every element, but if the element is there it will be in the same place on every sheet.

I will probably also group cities/major locations more tightly so that monuments inside of a city are listed with that city, and not just the population.
