Jozef's Inn ~ Ye Ancient BoBS ToO Drinking Hole

[Ross Fisher]

Welcome to the general discussion thread. Feel free to get weird with it!

This thread should be "pinned".

 

Good idea and interesting game.

 

1.     1. Construction time?

 

 

Chapter I: "The Return Home" Entries will close and voting will open on Monday 3 November.

 

Chapter I: "The Return Home" Entries will close and voting will open on Monday 3 November.

 

The Challenges

Every other month, players will be given a prompt. You will then have until the end of the month to build a Lego MOC in response. Digital or physical, large or small, purist or third-party, legal or illegal; we don't mind. If you put something together, you're good.

 

My criticism concerns the construction time. I only see 30 days.

 

2.     2. BOBS TOO?

 

 

Will BOBS TOO replace regular BOBS and will there not be an Era III?

 

Firmly no. Era III is still in the works. BOBS Tales of Old is a side project, an escapade into an earlier time frame of the BOBS setting.

It is not meant as a replacement whatsoever. More like an expansion pack in game terms, bringing something alternative and new.

 

What happens to BOBS TOO when BOBS Era III is released?

Thanks! I hope you are intrigued enough to join .

We didn't pin this topic, because we didn't want to have too much pinned topics at the top of the forum, like it is with BOBS currently.

All regular questions can also be posed in the Introduction topic. Jozef's Inn is the equivalent of José's Inn for more loose banter, hence is why it isn't pinned.

The reason for the limited construction time is that we don't want the Challenges lasting too long, as not to lose momentum and keep it moving forwards.

What happens to BOBS TOO when BOBS Era III is released? 

Currently, we have envisioned it as an interim until Era III, but the setup is easy enough to keep it going concurrently with Era III if there is still enough interest to do so. They are different settings and while there is an overlap in demographic, some will understandably prefer to build in "future" pirate BOBS full-time again.

This is correct. I guess with more time, players could build more impressive responses. Likewise, less build time would limit what they're able to do. One month felt like a reasonable compromise that allowed us to keep running prompts at a good pace, telling an unfolding story.

That depends on how well this game goes. The more popular it is, the longer it is likely to survive. Successful elements might rear their heads in BOBS. There's a good chance that stories we write here will officially become part of the lore of BOBS.

Unrelated: Has Corrington ever been linked with Clay Moorington? I feel certain there is an association back in their history...

I like this idea... the Arthurian myth was dusted off and renewed through the clever and witty LEGO lens. And now, let's turn back the clock for the Nexo Knight concept. 

What a pity, I just signed up with Mogholay

Don't let it stop you. Most of the Faction challenges will let you build in other nations. 

And yeah, I like the idea of the Nexo Knights being an Arthurian Myth. One day these heroes vanished into thin air, but legend says they'll return when you need them most. 

I'm also the guy who put Ninjago into the main BOBS game, so this is very on-brand for me.

Omg... some month away from the forum and there is a new roleplaying Game .... And wow what a nice one!

I'm very interested. =) Is it allowed to build digital?

 Nice! I think when i join, there will be both Digital and real. I have a lot of Minifigs for that time period, but not much Buildingstuff for Buildings/Ships/Landscapes

Great! Like Ross said: any Faction in particular you are keen on?

Don't worry about not being able to build big stuff in real bricks, like I said: all types of build are welcome. I'm usually also only able to build smaller stuff.

If you want, you could still do an introduction build for Chapter I, even though the voting has ending. It's still a nice way to start of. A second Challenge will come early December.
