Fireworks

Postby Rossato » Thu Nov 15, 2007 9:28 pm

I saw that it was suggested before, but I think of something different.

It would be nice if we could do fireworks solely to RP purposes. Like a one-shot musical instrument. Then, with different resources, different colors. Like, magnesium is white, copper is green, salt is yellow, etc. So:

"you see blue fireworks popping in the sky"

Maybe, if people want signaling, fireworks could be heed inside buildings, (of course, not with the color). Plus, you could see it within a radius, like when traveling and near the town.

But the primary objective is party RP, not alerts and signs.

I second this, it would be interesting to see what different societies use them for. The code couldn't be any harder than musical instruments.

I do think you should be able to see who used the firework if you're outside in the same town.

You see X lighting the fuse of a rocket.

Hmm, could you tell from the top which rocket has which coloring agent? It would be rather interesting if all of them had the same inventory/on the ground description and the coloring ingredient would only be mentioned in the project when it was made. So it would be a surprise which color you're going to get, unless you make one at a time and don't let them mix in your inventory.


Off-topic: bonfires would be also nice for parties.

Would be a far less expesnive method for signalling atacking troops or on the other hand calling for reinforcement to break a seige then the radios.

Plus there there would'nt be any information being giving away like on radios, since those could have predetermined meanings to certain parties. They could be secretive signals between towns and people.

Sure people could find special uses for them but I'd imagine getting the resources might require quite a bit of traveling, and also this sounds like something that could use the apothecary table.
