Custom Reception Talk Thread

[Infolane]

Noticed there's some people using the general invitation thread to post and discuss their ideas for custom receptions beyond the scope of general invitations- and given the full release is scheduled to give us workshop support for custom receptions, why not have a dedicated thread for this stuff?

Whether you want to share vague daydreams and concepts or have plans to actually implement your ideas when support is added, it's all good fun nonetheless.

I'll kickstart this from the comments once I finish writing this down

[Infolane]

Let me get this started with a little reception that adds to the city's ecosystem:

Athena Office.

Athena is an associate of Zwei office specializing in the protection of schools and their students. That is because Athena office started out when school teachers from the backstreets decided to take the protection of their turf into their own hands. This ultra-fine scope of what they do has generally allowed them to be more charitable than your average office, but if you need anything other than their advertised services you are ♥♥♥♥ out of luck.

Notably, Athena Office has a presence in many districts due to the nature of their work, with a main office located in a nest. Problem strikes after the Crying Children incident happens to destroy that main office along with everything else it did to that nest, leaving the many branches of Athena scrambling for what to do and answers as to what happened.

Which leads them to where the answer lies: The Library.

One of their teams that had, some time ago, lost contact with Zwei during a critical defense mission (that was following the anihilation of Section 6) can be called forth with copies of: Unstable Book of the Crying Children and, going all the way back, Book of Zwei South Section 6, Vol. I. This team is a Star of the City level threat. Two acts, 10 participants in total, one of them being a boss.

Athena Fixer

These are the default units of the encounter. Five of them for act one, four for act two. They are about as tough as your random Liu guys, although they have less HP and more SR.

Their overall deal is that they have cards that force you pay attention to who and what you are clashing- Love Town style, punishing errors by discarding from your hand. They also punish you having too many cards in hand in order to make their style more effective.

They have normal resistences to Pierce and Blunt, but endure Slash. These fixers all bring things like staffs, hammers and retractable polearms.

Genevive

The leader of this team, and the wielder of their Gold Page. A grade one fixer who, despite her talents being enough for her to move up in life, has been sticking with Athena office due to emotional attachment to the work.

After Zwei Section 6 failed to do their part in a critical mission, some time ago, she happened to lose the class of students she was tasked with protecting. And now she’s pissed. She’s been looking into what happened on her own for a while now, but with the Crying Children incident, she now knows to blame the Library.

Her main gimmick is that she’s got two stances. Rather than working with power à la PT, though, they add effects to dice.

She has about 1.5 times as much health as the basic Athena fixer and endures blunt and slash damages, while pierce is normal. Uses a long, long ol' hammer with a spike at the top to battle.

[Flygoniaks]

Person who made the General Invitation thread here, I 100% approve of this, and can't wait to see the crazy ideas everyone has. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this one!

If I had to give one bit of advice, it would be to put more "realistic" reception ideas (i.e. ones that Project Moon would actually add) in the General Invitation thread and more abstract ideas (everything from uber-hard boss battles, memes, or crossover nonsense) here.

Of course, there's plenty of overlap, since we can just recreate General Invitation thread ideas as Workshop receptions if they aren't added into the game. So feel free to go wild!

[Sebee]

I hope they allow for custom Abno Battles.
I have always imagined a custom fight with Firebird on Roland's floor, since Snow Queen and Firebird had unique encounters in LC. Insta-killing my poor nuggets because I forget that I can't send them into Ice Queen's room when they're wearing Firebird stuff

The fight could also be very interesting, since Firebird seems to be a masochist. This is how I would make it if I ever had the intention to learn how to...
Firebird would start the fight with 3 Combat Dice, 501 health and 500 stagger.
For Resistances, Firebird could be Endured to Slash and Blunt, but Normal to Pierce, since he was weakest to firearms back in LC, and most Ranged combat pages are Pierce. He would be immune or very resistant to stagger.

His passives would be the following:
-If Firebird has not received "X" amount of damage after three turns, he uses a Mass Attack.
-At the end of each scene, burn Librarians based on health remaining. (If health is greater than or equal to 500, gain 1 stack of burn. If health is above 400 gain 2 stacks of burn. If health is above 300 gain 4 stacks. Above 200 gain 6. Above 100 gain 8. Above 1 gain 10.)
-Gain Combat Dice based on damage taken last turn. (For every 20 damage taken, gain 1 dice, Caps at 5 bonus dice for a total of 8)
-Gain 2 strength if damage was taken during the previous turn.
-Cannot be staggered
-Take extra damage from ranged combat pages. (Take 2-4 damage if hit by a ranged combat dice).
-HP cannot go below 1, When HP reaches 1, change phases. Inflict 10 burn to all Librarians. Gain 3 strength. Gain 20 haste. Use Mass Attack. At the end of the turn, if a librarian is alive, die.
-Shimmering

For Combat Pages:
-Mass Attack: Cost- 5 light. Summation. 5-10, Blunt on hit inflict 5 burn. Dice on this page gain +1 power for every 10hp lost during the battle.
-Ranged: 8-12 Pierce on hit inflict 2 burn, 7-13 Pierce on hit inflict 2 feeble
-Ranged: 6-9 Pierce on hit inflict 2 disarm, 6-10 Pierce on hit inflict 2 disarm, 8-8 Blunt on hit deal 5 stagger damage.
-Melee: 10-15 Blunt on hit deal 8 stagger damage, 8-14 Blunt on hit inflict 2 feeble and disarm.
-Melee: Only used during second phase. 10-10 Blunt Counter on hit deal 2 damage, as long as it wins it's clashes, it will constantly recycle.
-Ranged: Only used during second phase. 12-12 Pierce on hit deal 3 stagger damage, 8-8 Pierce on hit deal 6 stagger damage, 4-4 Pierce on hit kill.

This should be winnable. You could cheese most gimmicks with Block Stance. Just don't let her get hit. If it isn't winnable just nerf it nerd.

For Abno Pages earned from the fight:
The aforementioned mass attack to a Librarian's deck. It could either be a once an act thing or can be reused multiple times, Clone's a thing anyways.
Another one could be a Tier 3 card that kills any Librarians who have Snow Queen Abno Pages, but in return the Librarians remaining gain some sort of buff.
Another Tier 3 card could allow the first counter dice used each turn to work like old counter.

Also Don't Touch Me custom fight.

Custom Reception huh...
definitely want to see crossover with Omori game since the emotion system in that game could very well matched with LoR emotional level up. the anger > sad > happy could also be adapted to this battle as passive. one i could think of is:

Omori 500 - 600 HP, 300 Stagger HP
Damage resistances is random as 2 endured and 1 normal, the same for Stagger resistances
Omori's Passive:
- Cycle through sad, anger and happy emotion depends on which dice type damage he receives the most in previous turn. it could stack up to 3 times (max 3 stack).
- If emotion sad, then Omori would get 2 EDR, 2 Prot, 2 Stagger Prot and 2 Feeble
- if emotion anger, then Omori would get 2 STR, 2 Fragile, 2 Debuff that give same effect like fragile but to Stagger HP and 2 Disarm
- if emotion happy, then Omori would get 1 STR, 1 EDR, 2 Bind
- every time the stack is up, Omori would permanently get 1 Speed Dice (so either 1 sad, anger or happy emotion would give him 1 dice and when the emotion raised to level 2, it get another one). Only happen once per Omori emotion state level up. so, after the anger, happy or sad emotion raise 1 stack, the effect wouldn't activate again if they just change the emotion stack sideways.
- every time the emotion state is in full cycle (sad, happy and anger is fully cycled in the same emotion stack), it will automatically raise the minimum stack of all emotion by 1.

now that the basic emotion system is a bit fleshed out, now about the special one (Neutral, Afraid, Terrified).

- when Omori HP reach 100, all damage would be negated and he enter the next phase on neutral emotion
- if emotion neutral, then lock all benefit gain from emotional level up (Speed Dice locked until the original number, Light return to 3/4 light max, all benefit from abno page is locked, EGO page is locked). omori can't stack the happy, anger and sad emotion anymore.
- if health decreased by 20 in a single scene, next scene omori enter afraid emotion.
- if emotion afraid, then added to the neutral emotion effect, omori would get 10 Prot and 10 Stag Prot but he is immobilized for a turn. after that, emotion return to neutral again.
- if when emotion afraid, his health decreased by 15, he would enter Terrified state.
- if emotion terrified, Omori would get 20 Prot and 20 Stagger Prot and immobilized. at the end of the scene, his health would be recovered to 150 and flee from the fight (entering second act).

i haven't thought about the Combat Card or his other passive. i don't even know what to put for his second act (definitely would put the 3 Super Attack he has which he gain in the old library). but, the second act should be secondary and you can just clear the reception you defeat Omori in the first act. it just seems interesting to have optional challenge through second act that would give you better reward if you defeat him and you still can get the basic reward if you defeat him in the first act.

definitely need to be fleshed out more, but that's the idea i have.

[Mizuki-MixOre]

With a capable team of modders, anything is possible. And a dedicated forum for custom receptions would be great.
What Moon gives us I assume would be the essential to make some simple methods of making a fight. If you want really intricate stuffs, you have to have good knowledge in terms of coding

And hey, if you do not mind, maybe I can get an idea or two for more Afterglow fights.

sex reception? :blush:

I decided to add another character to the reception. After I think about the first comment I made, this might be a mini-boss rush reception, like R-Corp II but more mechanically heavy. I apologise for it to be extremely long.

Reception Layout:
Basically the reception goes like this:
1. It consists of 4 acts and available to 4 floors.
2. The first 3 acts contains 3 mercenaries.
1st: Scout, Demoman and Sniper
2nd: Pyro, Heavy and Medic
3rd: Soldier, Engineer and Spy
3. Although the Engineer is on the 3rd act, he is also present on the first 2. But he does not fully fulfil his role except only using his melee weapon and building the teleporter. He only starts to build sentries and dispenser starting Act 3. During this time only the Engineer successfully escapes, while the others escape depending if they were alive that time. If they were they will appear on the 4th act.
4. On the 4th act, it starts with him, Ms. Pauling, a teleporter exit and 2 random allies that were alive. If there are more than 2 mercs escape that time, the Engineer escapes again and reappears after all other allies have spawn in and died. Then it just continues until the end of reception.

[The Sin Heartless]

The set of receptions I'm kinda working on right now, the Lilith Path of the post-game mod is pretty much going to be centered around the Crimson Brigade, a group of once deceased fixers guarding whatever remains of District 9's backstreets lead by vampire distortion Lilim, and her quest to find her mother Lilith who's going on a rampage throughout the city killing countless high-grade fixers to find the man who cheated on her and ditched her for a place in Zwei Association and a Nest, leading to the death of her youngest daughter and the family breaking apart.

The progression of the receptions would be following:

District 23 Enforcer-Butcher Syndicate -> Avant-Garde Butchers -> The Crimson Brigade
-> Lilith, the Visceral

Two first receptions would be Bleed-centered and introduce Black Damage, returning from Lob Corp to this game and classified as mental damage, targeting solely Stagger Resist, as well as Stress, a debuff dealing Stagger Damage when you take action in combat, akin to Bleed.

Crimson Brigade would expand on this with self-bleed & using Bleed stacks on self to buff the party and and to power many of the hard-hitting combat pages while introducing new passives to suit the blood-letting style of play, Bloodrush effects on combat pages which activate if the opponent took damage from attacks beforehand during the scene.

Girard & Lilim would serve as the mid-bosses, with Girard being a defensive powerhouse whose passives make his defensive die more powerful with each successive clash win while dealing damage with his deflects, and Lilim being a master of manipulating all things Bleed from bestowing Bleed on opponents to buffing all allies based on the amount of stacks on her, with mass attacks that use both Bleed stacks on her and opponent in between.

Lilith would be the main optional boss of the path, a vampire distortion and an Impurity level threat. She would embody all the elements of the path while pretty much going unga bunga on you. And at certain points of the battle, she would try to go pretty much Shadow Blend + Predator Form on you unless you stagger her, which would lead to devastating Mass Attacks which akin to Lilim's would be powered up by stacks of Bleed on your nuggets or her but unlike Lilim's, would leave your nuggets eroded enough for her to roll over them the next scene. Objective: survive long enough to fell the beast.

From Lilim & Lilith, one could obtain a pair of Magnum Opus key pages, a rarity of key pages that would not only be even more powerful than Object d' Art key pages, they would come with a set of Abno pages of their own that would be unique to them. In return, you could only obtain one copy per library, and equip only one Magnum Opus key page per floor.
