Recently Ive had nothing to do, so I've decided to start an RPG. mainly inspired by peasant adventure(as well as some other now dead fourm rpgs), This is A Ham in the Clouds.
Alright so heres the
makeshift story:
Its march 23, 2005. Canadas weather machine had helped them take over much of America, The place you was born. And you and 3 of your friends have gone off hiking into the mountains to escape canadian hail attacks on your small mountain town of Lionsblood.
BUT, soon while camping in the safety of the mountains you notice something queer. Something is stirring down below! No, it isent canadians, its much worse... Demons and Monstars can be seen from your eye in the sky. THEIR ATTACKING YOUR TOWN! You watch in horror as Lionsblood colapses into smoking rubble.
You and your friends huddle around the campfire in the dark, deciding what to do next.
So thats that. This games mainly about combat, I should mention there are quite a few stats for things. You want stats in
green to be higher(as they usualy represent modifiers like +3), and stats in
red to be lower(as they usualy represent 1/x chance). Heres some examples:
Old Man Hickorys Rusted Metal Club
Atk: 4
Hit: 3
Dura: 6[10/10]
Crit: 12
Speed: +1
Effect: 7 (trauma)
Old Man Hickorys Rubber Suit
Def: 4
Dura: 3[4/4]
Speed: -2
Resist: 2 (Lightning)
Old Man Hickory
HP:54/54
MP:10/10
Atk: 5
Def: 4
Speed: 6
Resist: 20(fire) 20(lightning) 20(ice)
Most are pretty self explanitory but feel free to ask about them if your not sure on something, dont worry how its all calculated, Ill take care of that.
You can choose the starting race, cloths(no armor though), gender, and favored weapon type(martial arts is possible btw, as a matter of fact you can choose ANYTHING here) of your character. If you dont say what you want Ill just roll your character to determine these.
I will keep a waiting list but dont expect anyone to die soon, its not really that type of game. Theres two ways for a character to die:
1. If the absolute value of a knocked out characters negative HP is greater than or equal to the value of their total HP. IE: -54/54 HP (note that KOed characters have no def and a 100% chance of being hit if attacked, so they should be taken care of.)
2. If the character is traveling alone and is knocked out by an enemy, or if all the characters in a group are knocked out.
So as soon as I get 4 players the game starts. Oh and if someone is inactive? I will just "autopilot" their character for them until they return, just to keep the game going of course. If they dont return in a while(like 5 turns) Ill just free up their slot.
And one last thing, this isent a very serious or chronologicaly minded game, but even so I probably wont let you shot lasers out of your eyes
without knowing how to first.
