Travel System

Travel

In the world of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Fallen Grid, we want to both make sure the roleplay resembles classic Power Rangers as much as possible. We want you to focus on your journey, and make sure that player choices like vehicles or investing in the flying technique are well rewarded investments. As such we have a rules system for making sure your character is traveling at a fair pace.

Lands

The world of Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Fallen Grid is vast, and to make it easier to determine where you are in any given thread, we’ve broken that map into 7 “Lands”. Lands are large areas of the world similar to continents. Lands aren’t singular ecosystems or areas. They aren’t owned by any one faction or any one person, except in very specific examples. They may encompass a number of conflicting kingdoms, animal types, land and water features. The seven Lands are listed below.

Angel Grove, California

Mariner Bay, California

Blue Bay Harbor, California

Newtech City, Nevada

Reefside, California

Pine Ridge, California

Silver Hills, Washington

Steps and Travel Requirements

When moving through the world in Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers: Fallen Grid, we measure your journey in Steps. No, not literal footsteps. Steps are a measurement of distance. Lands that are touching are usually 1 Step apart. If they aren’t touching, they are usually 2 Steps apart. If they are exceptionally far away, they may be 3 Steps apart.



For every Step of travel you take from your current location, you need to write 1000 Words of Travel. So if you are traveling 2 Steps, that’s 2000 Words, and so on. You make these posts in the Travel Forum, located under the other locations. Once you’ve written the required amount of words, you have arrived in your new destination, and may immediately begin roleplaying in your new Land. There are no approvals needed to notify a change of Land, as long as you’ve written the words required.



If you’re unsure how many Steps a Land is from another Land, use this handy guide below:

Angel Grove Steps: It is 1 Step from Angel Grove into Mariner Bay, Blue Harbor, and Reefside. It is 2 Steps from Newtech City and Pine Ridge. It is 3 Steps from Silver Hills.

Alternate Means of Travel

As you advance through the world in Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers, you may discover new and unique methods of traveling through different lands. These methods will change the way you approach your Travel Thread, or might eliminate the need for one altogether!

Vehicles: If you possess a vehicle, or a technique that reduces your travel time, your words may be shorter than what is listed. Such vehicles may change the total number of Steps you travel, or may affect the words written directly. Remember! You only gain the benefit of using a vehicle if you roleplay using that vehicle in your Travel Thread. It’s not enough to simply have it in your inventory if you don’t use it!



Effort Points: If you don’t have the time to write a Travel Thread, or your character is pushing through a zone as fast as possible, you may use Effort Points to reduce the number of words you need to write. For each Effort Point spent, you can reduce your word’s required by 1. So if you need to move 1 Step, you can write 1000 Words, or spend 1000 Effort Points. If you receive discounts from a Vehicle, they can apply here as well, and reduce the total number of Effort Points you need to spend.



Leisure Travel: Sometimes you don’t need to rush. There’s no need to push your way through your adventures, and you have time to just kick back and relax. That’s when you summon up some Leisure Travel. For 25,000 Credits per Step, you can take a luxury ride to your new destination. When using Leisure Travel, you are not required to post ANY words in your Travel Thread. Just post indicating where you are going and that you are using Leisure Travel, subtracting the required Credits. You are, however, required to wait 5 days IRL before arriving in your new Land. Luxury Travel is comfortable, not fast. You can flavor your Leisure Travel however you’d like (train, elephant caravan, luxury cruise) and after you finish your travel, a player who uses Leisure Travel gets a 25% increase on all EP gains in their first thread in their new Land for being “Well Rested”. If your Leisure Travel can make use of your personal vehicles, they can also apply their discounts to the time it takes to travel. Perhaps you take a sightseeing tour in your car, or use your motorbike with a friendly bike gang, taking a trip down Route 666 for a few days. If you can roleplay it effectively, you can apply your discounts and still receive the “Well Rested” bonus!

Travel Threads

Anytime you post a travel notice in the Travel Forum, this is called a Travel Thread. Travel Threads can be anything you’d like them to be. You can post a Personal Saga as a Travel Thread, perhaps of your adventures or sightseeing as you Travel. You can use your Travel Thread as part of a mission, chasing an enemy across different Lands to achieve your goal. Your words written as part of your Travel Thread can apply to your mission or bounty! You could even get into a fight as part of your Travel Thread, turning what would be a quick hop over the border into a big deal! Travel Threads accrue EP, Treasure Rolls, and Credits just like any other thread. Traveling is part of your adventure. You can always write more than you are required to Travel, and gain rewards just as if you’d written a large post in any other thread, but you must always meet your minimum words required to successfully travel. You are allowed to travel in groups! If you do, each player must make their minimum word count. Go camping with other players and see the world together!



Anytime you begin a Travel Thread you are required to post some information at the beginning of your first post, so your Travel Thread can be properly graded for rewards.
