CFC ConQUEST ~ An Epic RPG

[CivCube]

Are you a big RPG nut? Is it impossible for you to walk by some dice without twitching those rollin' fingers? Does the name of Tolkien mean anything to you?

Here is the epic adventure of Civilization Fanatics Center ConQUEST -- a sojourn into the unknown, a journey through the impossible. Players will battle through many creatures and worlds, witness an unfolding storyline, and maybe even solve a puzzle or two. Ready to go? Well, it is your destiny....

If you are interested in signing up for this game, post away. I'll put up the classes later for you to pick. Please note that while I will describe the events of something, I won't necessarily throw out numbers. The point is to enjoy the story, not be rules lawyers. But don't worry, the system will be described.

[Japanrocks12]

Japanrocks shall join

 

[Knight-Dragon]

Sounds interesting - I'm in. Though I want clearer rules on what this system's all about... And more details...

 

[Japanrocks12]

OT, but you have yet to reveal your secret staff forum to me, XIII

 

[CivCube]

What I'm thinking of so far is to have a battle system similar to that of basic D&D, with people posting what weapon or whatever they want to use each round. If the time comes I'll go a tad more in-depth, but nothing more. I want to keep this simple.

As the game goes on I'll describe the setting and it will be up to you as a party to decide to what to do next. Someone will have represent the group.

The setting will be extremely volatile; the group will travel to new worlds and do what happens there. So it can range from fantasy to sci-fi to western.

There will be leveling and "ph4t l00t".

 

[Xen]

I'll join!

Xen (-ophon, the mighty, the ever glorious )

 

[Superevie]

Sounds vague, bu Mighty Xen's signing up, so I'm in!

 

[puglover]

I'll be in!

 

[Japanrocks12]

you would make a good Byzantine Empress superevie

 

[Plexus]

I shall join my comrades in arms Superevie and Xenophon in battle!

 

[naervod]

I'm all for it! I can bust out my 7EEt archery skills and pWn j00z and get the p4at l00t (I said that right didn't I? ).

 

[Gengis Khan]

Count me in.

 

[Thrawn]

I'm in!

 

[Knight-Dragon]

On second thoughts, I think I'll pass. No time...

 

[Plexus]

Awww... come on, KD.

 

[Aphex_Twin]

Hm... let's see the rules first.

 

[CivCube]

Here is a template for character stats. The sign-up list will be replaced by these and will be updated as the game goes on.

Name
Power Level - This is Armor and Level combined into one. Not only will it be used as your armor level in combat, but it will also affect other stats and apply to game events.
Class - This is your specific duty in the group.
Health - Measured in hit points. You will each start out with 15.
Saving Throw - Every now and then some harmful projectile or such will come at your character. There will be a value assigned to this, and it is your job to decide if you want to do a saving throw. If a rolled number is lower than that, hooray! If not, well, let's hope it doesn't hurt too much.
Race - will change as the game progresses...
Money
Experience
Ability - Power Level + 2 (This will represent your ability to do various things, like lift something or convince somebody to do your bidding.)
Equipment

Rules for battle:

You as a group will decide what order you will attack in. A person who attacks the other side has a chance of hitting based on his/her Power Level divided by the enemy's. For example, Xen's PL is 5. A giant walking mecha's is 10. Therefore, Xen has a 50% chance of hitting this thing. I will roll a number of dice with sides equal to the higher PL. Players' numbers will always be the lower numbers. Therefore if Xen's attack roll is anywhere from 1 to 5--half of 10--he'll get to roll for damage with his weapon, which for example's sake has a value of 2d6. I roll a 7, so Xen took 7 hit points away from the mecha.

I think that's about it...if there's any holes, please tell me.

So what do I do now?

 

[CivCynic]

Darn, I wanted to play. Oh well.

Nothing yet, but I'll start the game very soon. Do you understand the rules well?
