Ebola Monkey Hunt
From NWN1 Custom Content Guide
Contents |
Overview
The scent of bananas and death lingers in the air. You step past the remains of a fellow researcher. A large disease-ridden monkey comes barreling towards you, followed closely by one of your colleagues. Only one question remains... Which one do you shoot?
Goals
Capture four monkeys, one from each of the four sites in the lab before your colleagues do, and win the hush money-er, I mean research grant.
Rules
Original Board Game Rules
(TK: I know I got some things wrong here, I'll have to get the rules from my friend Kylie since she's the one that owns the game)
Roll 1d6 and move that many places (or less if you opt to). If you roll a 1 or a 2, you get to pick up an action card (as a fairness balance, the idea is you don't move as far because something caught your eye).
You can shoot another player by rolling a 1d6, where the difficulty is the number of squares away the other player is (i.e. if he is 4 tiles away, you have to roll 4 or higher). You also start off with 3 darts. If you are hit by a tranq dart, your suit is considered "Punctured" and you can be suseptable to viral infections, you also lose a turn since you're in La-La land. Getting a suit repair kit or returning to the "Cold Zone" repairs it, at the cost of time spent.
You can only capture a monkey if you land on the monkey square exactly. If you are carrying a monkey back to base, and are tranquilized, if the monkey is not recaptured in 4 rounds, it is considered gone (wandered off).
Modified NWN Rules
Obviously since NWN is real time and not turn based, we'd have to change some things around.
Players: Obviously to make things balanced, we'd probably have to set up some scripts to drop everyone's stats to be the same. And remove any feats for hit and save bonuses, etc. to level the playing field.
Randomly place some placecables around the map where you can get power ups, dart refills and the like.
When capturing a monkey, instead of being in your inventory perhaps making it so you lead the monkey out with a banana?
Creatures
- Monkeys!
Tileset
- Bio laboratory
Placeables
VFX
- Viral Outbreak (Make a cool skull effect out of green particles and have it break up?)
Ideas
- should probably design a working version of the mod before starting on content
- hilarious death animations
- healing watercoolers that you can infect with ebola
- <bat> have this vision of hooking up a guy in a haz-mat suit to a high-pressure air-hose
- could do the whole buttmonkey thing, some alienesque monkey subspecies that lays its eggs inside people. PC gets infected, has to make his way to the nearest w.c. Cue groaning sfx when the door is closed. Monkey escapes out of the door. Time limit to get there or you explode in a shower of tiny monkeys.
- security cameras that allow you to watch the other players. Could probably make them track player movements too.
- players cant hurt each other, they can just use weapons that put them to sleep, paralyze, etc. And maybe use a knife to cut open their suits, but they can only die from ebola virus. So basically, they are good until their suits mess up
- and tranq darts put small holes in the suit, making it a small % chance of being infected. but say someone comes up and slashes the whole back of the suit open. Then you walk down a corridor with disolved bodies of ebola victims/lab assistants and you have a 75% chance of dying immediatly from exposure to the virus
- monkeys run up and attack you, tearing up your suit and scratching you, pretty much instant kill, so you almost have to sneak around looking for them, because if they get you first, you've had it
- and with tranq darts, they take 2 rounds to put you to sleep, but you are slowed. So essentially, you could tranq a monkey, and then it would start chasing you and you would have to run before it kills you
- how about being able to place a trail of irradiated nuts that the superpowerful ebola ape will follow, like waypoints
- he levels would have to be littered with the corpses of your half-dissolved ex workmates
Players
- Biohazard Suit, PLT so people can customize their colours and be uniquely identifiable. (muaahahaha)
- Dartgun weapon (modified crossbow)
- Tranquilizer dart (modified bolt to have the feathered plume)
