Eons ago, in a realm long forgotten by the hands of history, there was a place. A place where beings co-existed peacefully, and deaths were rare, if at all. It was paradise. This continued for eons, until, it came to an end, like all things. The sun that this planet orbited exploded, causing it to be sucked into the black hole created by the death of it's sun. However, this world still lives on. Corrupted, and shattered, it exists. It has been split into islands, floating in the void, which one can travel between with the use of the links established between these lands. But, a corruption has also formed. In the endless void of a black hole, dark things lie, and they have seized this opportunity to claim this land as their own. However, you, as the brave Puknights have dedicated your lives to protecting your land, and just because you are now in a black hole, does not make you any less dedicated. You have trained briefly, but without the prescence of conflict ever effecting your previous world, you now know next-to-nothing. You know things, but have yet to put them into practice. With time, and kills, you shall become learned Puknights, and clear your land of this terrible corruption.

Spoiler: "What are you on about?" (click to show/hide)

This is a pun-based forum game, in the style of D&D. Yes. Puns. You are a dedicated Puknight, and must save your now corrupt world, and restore what once was. Also, it's set in a black hole.

Spoiler: "But how does a pun-based forum game even work? Are you just crazy?" (click to show/hide)

Yes, I am. Thank you for noticing.

But in all seriousness, this is a complex system, mostly involving rolls of a d20.

The mechanics are somewhat like this:

Combat: In combat, you must come up with puns (pertaining to your Class) and, depending on the kind of pun you use, or how experienced you are at using said pun, you get a certain kind of dice. This can range from 1d4 to 2d20s, it all depunds. Each enemy will have their own strengths and weaknesses, and certain kinds of puns will be obviously a better choice against certain enemies.

e.g.
"You are facing a Fire Golem!

You use the pun "Ice to Meet you!" (Base:1d8)

It does 1d4 extra damage due to being the first move used, and also an extra 2d6 damage for being ice vs fire!"

Travelling: Travelling between 'islands' will be done through portals that can be found in certain locations, and can only be accessed once completing the story mission for that area. Travelling on an island will be done quickly, bc I have had it up to here with travel events.

Classes: The class system is quite complex, as it is a very deep hierachy. You begin as a Vagapund, which is a rank above Punsant. This diagram should help. You must reach the highest sub-tier of one class to move on to the next. This is all despite Pun God, as these are all equal sub tiers.

Skills: Skills will be created on the fly, so you can come up with your own (or I will choose, depends on why you're getting it.) There will be passive skills, and active skills. Active are the ones you would use in a battle, and you start with one Novice Active Skill, and one Novice Passive Skill. Then there are your attacks, which are granted by your equipped weapons.

This is kinda serious.

Puns are no joke ;33.

But I'll probably assign the equipment it's own values, so you just need to write the base for now.

Unless the values are puns?
