Anything RPG
« on: June 25, 2018, 11:06:00 pm »

I'll be running an RPG, but I want it to be something that you want to play. Here's how I've decided to do that:
 -The first 4 people who join are guaranteed a spot, and can suggest anything for the game (mechanics, theme, setting). I'll try to include as much of that as possible.
 -People who join later are added to the waitlist, but can still suggest things for the game. If it sounds neat and doesn't clash with what the first 4 said, I'll add it too.
 -Any mechanics that haven't already been determined by the above, I'll add myself. I have a few ideas floating around, and I want to try them out.

No real restrictions on the suggestions, except that they have to keep it an RPG (of course). Also, I have to finish something up before I run the game, but I'll be putting the mechanics together in my spare time, so that it'll be ready when my other project is finished.

I want to play. The RPG's plot will be about a team of four cats seeking to retrieve the Cat Toy of Unlimited Catnip.

I'm interested.
Level-ups will be done in the Undead Hunt style; that is, starts at two kills (or whatever the accomplishments will be, so maybe "catnip pieces acquired"), increases by 2 [requirement] each level, and you get to create your own new ability each time you level up.

Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

I want to join. I also think a rune based magic system would be cool.

Damnit people, this is why I said to keep the truce. Because now everyone's ganging up on the cats.
Also, don't forget to contact your local Eldritch Being(s), so that they can help with our mission to destroy the universe.

Alright. Neat idea.

What about the rest of you, guys? Anything you want to add?

Dungeon crawl setup, maybe? Should we do sci-fi or fantasy, or mix them together? Are there humans?
Are there different breeds of cats with different abilities? Are there stats?

Here's what I was thinking: What if it's kind of sci-fi. The cats only have basic tools, but have learned to use the "artifacts" (read: cat toys) the mysterious race of Huemins left behind. Somehow those artifacts give them bonuses to stuff, and no one questions it.

 Sound good?

What if, the cats can evolve after a certain number of level ups? That house cat you're playing as can become a lion or a panther or a catgirl or whatever cat things come up.

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

Considering that some of the abilities I got for myself in Undead Hunt involved me gradually becoming a dragon, I think this is implicit in the level-up system.

EDIT: We also created sub-classes at level 4, which might be well-suited to this idea. They provided numerous passive skills.
You could make your normal level-up things passive skills, too, but the subclass parts are always passives.

What if the abilities/evolutions you get as you leveled up are unlocked by what you killed/how you leveled up?
