I would be interested in a post-post-apocalyptic game, for what it's worth. As long as the mechanics don't take two full posts to describe.

That shouldn't be a problem. Most of the "complexities" will come from making a character. But that's more along the lines of "Use 40 points in these 7 stats, pick 3 TAG skills, and up to two traits."

So I guess there's enough interest for me to work on the game as it is. Still need to think of a thing to do with the story. Right now it looks like maybe post-post-apacalyptic. Maybe a few years after New Vegas. Hm... I'll have to think on that.

Could one focus one's character on forming a cult of personality in this roleplay?

[Nerjin]

One can. Yes. There'll probably be an over-arching thing for you guys to do. But how you accomplish that is up to you. Or if you choose to accomplish it.

[Remuthra]

Well, my criterion is satisfied.

Can we become a courier? Like you know who?

[Nerjin]

I guess. I don't know how much call there'd be for it though.

[kj1225]

Considering they deliver mail and do it by themselves I think they would be much sought after individuals.

Would anyone be interested in a team based design / strategy game?

My idea is to split the players in to 3 or more teams, each with there own country and army.
Turn wise it'd be split in to strategy where units can be ordered and moved around a hex map and design which is where new weapons get designed.

Rule wise im unsure how to do battles, and that is the main stumbling block.

[Remuthra]

I would. Make Space Laser Satellites and such. And arm the Nukes with missile launchers.

[Funk]

Setting it in space is a brilliant idea, man the amount of ass pull i can get away with up there.

[Remuthra]

If things get Stalematey, you can make aliens happen.

As this is alive again, may as well float some RPG mechanics here, for a return to The Lone Isle (now with a slowly growing wiki!)

Spoiler: Basic system (click to show/hide)

3d6 rolled. modifiers added.

Stats
HP: (Base = 20)
HP regen (Base = 1 at day end)
Attributes
Offense(O): Ability to deal damage to things.
Defense(D): Ability to avoid taking damage.
Skill (E for Expert): Rougueish abilities - everything from talking to sneaking to theiving.
Support(S): Healing, buffing, crowd control etc...
Vitality(V): Con effectively. Each point gives +3HP and +1 HP regen/day, as well as +1 to thresholds (see later)
You get 10 points to split between the attributes. You can take up to a -2 penalty (before other modifiers) in any/all stats to gain the deducted points.

Combat
Basic attacks (ie. no weapon modifiers etc....) deal (3d6+O)-(3d6+D) damage. In addition, the result is checked against the thresholds for the attacked. The highest threshold met or exceeded is inflicted.
10 - Crippled (-2 to all rolls. Stacks. All stacks removed when (15-V) HP healed without taking damage.
15 - Crippled + Unconscious(3hrs - (20*V)min, minimum 20 min)
20 - death

Unconsciousness is also caused at 0HP, ending when +ve HP is regained
Death also occurs at -10HP

Class
You gain 2 more attribute pts from this, as well as 3 abilities - these are given fluffwise by the player and GM adds numbers

Race
(Large gives +10 HP, +2 to thresholds, -2 D, and needs large gear.)
Mira +1S, +2 on all rolls to heal
Elf +1E&S, -1O&D, +2 on rolls directly involving the outdoors environment.
Men +1E, +1 att pt
Drow +1O&E, -1D&S, +2 on rolls directly involving the underground
Orc +1O, +1 threshold penetration (ie. 1 enemy thresholds treated as 1 lower)
Ogre +1O&D, -1E&S, Large, Immune to unconsciousness
Dwarf +1D, +1 to all thresholds
Troll +1D&S, -1O&E, Large, Regenerate 1 HP/ 5 min

[kj1225]

YEAH! I really liked the original game. A sequel sounds really fun!

[sjm9876]

Well the return will be post Christmas, and 'til then I plan to be working on the wiki, so I hope it happens

I'm back from a looooooooooooooooooong absence, noticed this, and realized I had a few different ideas for a forum game.

Would anyone be interested in a Fallout based Role-play? I'm trying to make a "Home-brewed" system using most of the stuff from Fallout 1 and 2. But before I go any further with it I'd like to know if there's any interest.

Something like this was exactly one of the games I had in mind, and I actually had a lot to think about it; though recently, I reconsidered making it into a suggestion game.
