Does this mean people are going to end up mutated now?

Not now, but I've been doing a thing. And when that thing is done, I was thinking of combining it with a sort of half formed system I have and playing a game with it.  It might be neat.

Ever seen "Blood: The last vampire"?
Or heard of Monster hunter?
Or heard of the Hindu cosmological concept of the world bearing turtles, elephants and serpents?

Obligatory "Turtles all the way down".

Beat me to it.

Huh?

If it's like Monster Hunter, that will be fun I hope. As long as we don't run into an Akantortoise or something.

Huh?

Hey, would you beta testers be willing to try a mechanical test? I want to try this thing I've been been working on. I'm still creating some of the mechanical stuff for it and the world, but the basics are there, so I wanna give it a try to see if it even functions.

[Tavik Toth]

Sounds like a plan.

[swordsmith04]

Sure.

[Beirus]

Sure, why not.

In that case, I need...lets go with 5 people.

First come first serve.

Alright, these are your stats

Muscle:
   How much strength a person has. Used for climbing ropes, carrying things, hitting stuff with melee weapons.
Sinew:
   How flexible, quick and Dexterous a person is. Used for free climbing, dodging, running around, and fighting with ranged weapons.
Bone:
   How tough and robust a person is. Used for dealing with injuries,sustaining actions and avoiding status effects
Brain:
   How smart, wise and knowledgeable a person is. Used to provide medical care, repair weapons, craft, and determine what things are worth scavenging.
Nerves:
   How mentally resilient and courageous a person is. Used for this such as overcoming fears, preventing panic, and other things that use the strength of a person's mind

I roll d6 to see your starting numbers in each and then you can put 5 points in as you want. You can ask for a reroll but each reroll costs one of these points (ie after reroll you can only put in 4 ponints)

There are skills but they're not really usable in combat, which is what we're testing. Lets see.

Once you've selected your stats and rerolled if you want, Choose a type of Melee weapon you want. Doesn't matter to me. You're all going to get 5 Javelins as ranged.

Then, choose some tools. 3 each. No firearms but low tech explosives are ok. You're going to be hunting creatures of increasing size and danger so keep that in mind. Blind charging is probably a bad idea.  You will have an environment to work with, grid based. Sinew determines move speed on it.
