@Gathers: yes, the way Rescue works is a bit tiring for the people, so I'm thinking to change it the following way:
Rescue: The skill user can declare explicitly
(=only by name) another player who they wish to rescue. In case this target player is about to step/spawn on a mine
or a trap, the rescuer saves them, moving both of them out of the map. The rescuer gains 1XP for rescuing another player and is also able to perform their regular action for the turn.
In case someone else is in trouble but the declared target is not, then this other player gets rescued and the ability goes on a 5 turn cooldown.
The player can change the rescue target each turn if they wish so (else it remains the same), and can also declare if they do not wish to save someone else (to prevent leaving map).
Limitations on the Rescue skill:
- You cannot rescue someone from a fight or from situtations that are not deemed life threatening.
- The rescued and the hero can not respawn in the same turn if there is no waiting list.
Please tell me what you guys think about this. I think it would result in a much smoother gameplay, but I'm open to any objections / opinions this change would raise.
Once I get the time, I will organize the skills, abilities and whatnot into the resources thread. Until then, please accept the mess and look up the new things in the recruitment thread (pages 3-6) mentioned in the OP.
ART RELATED 1: I opted to use roman numerals on this map, as it seemed to fit the ruin/crypt theme better.
What you might uncover on this map: I = 1, II = 2, III = 3, IV = 4, to avoid confusion. Uncovered numbers are told in the regular arabian numbers in the action description below, though.
ART RELATED 2: Shiny has a mask and Tries has a battlepaint, please tell me if you want it to visibly appear somehow on the character image in game.
Turn 1
The giant looks down at the inquiring goblin (
Flags Mines).
- Well, as a matter of fact, I indeed have a pretty heavy hammer. But I think four of you can lift it and move it at least one tile per turn, more if all of you are faster than that. Oh, and I doubt this would stop you from doing whatever (main) actions you would do that turn. Now, off you go! Shoo!

And so the goblins enter the map.

Stumbles uses his Visions on G2 (which is a
mine), successfully combines it with the +1 tile on E2 (which is a

4. The neutral tile seems to have gotten exhausted by this combination, though.
