That's fair enough, I guess. My next work will probably be on a "bare-bones" version of all the mechanical stuff I haven't written down yet, and I can fill in the gaps from there. Should actually make it a little bit easier to get parts of it finished.

Bare bones list of rules is started. I'll write some more on it after work tomorrow. Any suggestions as to what should go in it for beta purposes?

Next day post: Did a smidgen of work on the bare bones list of rules. Slept most of the day after work due to a migraine. Work will continue later.

This keeps sounding better and better :)
And it now has a name. Threw me for a second when the thread title changed :P
Keep it up :D

Also, you really must add the potato as a fearsome enemy.

It is only logical.
At least have it as a weapon.

It's a crop that you can grow, and you can use anything as a 0 power weapon, so...

Anyway, I made a little bit of progress on the bare-bones kit. Not much, but progress is progress.

Hmm. Man, I really don't want to say this, but the game's name sounds... awfully generic to me. Like the kinda thing that I'd gloss over for something else. Is it a work in progress, or are you pretty set on the name?

Working title. I may change it again if I can come up with something more exciting, but I doubt it.

The "Neo Dreams" part is kinda what threw me off. It sounds more like the name of some kind of Matrix ripoff than a fantasy RPG.

The "Chronicles of Avarsiin" is pretty cool, though.

I've been thinking of just leaving it at that for a while now, but thought it sounded too generic.

Well, the Neo Dreams part does make it sound sci-fi/cyberpunk, makes me think of shadowrun/paranoia/... Not only the Neo-matrix reference, but Neo has a tech/future feel to it1. And it clashes a bit with the "Chronicles of Avarsiin", which sounds very fantasy-y. I'd have to agree with Tawarochir. Maybe there's something else you could put instead of "Neo Dreams"? Or just change "Neo"?
"_____ Dreams: Chronicles of Avarsiin" might work perfectly. Even using some over-clichéd word for the blank, like "forgotten" or "ancient" or so.

1Although that may be purely the subconscious matrix stuff.

I guess part of it kinda sounds like a novel you'd find in a fantasy section rather than a fantasy RPG. Something like Navarsiinian Trance: The Role Playing Game could get the idea across. For people that run across the name, they can punch it into google, and for people that have no idea, the words after the colon gives them an idea of what it is. I used trance rather than dreams, because I think dreams at this point prolly would lead to a thousand other things, while trance has a sharper image to the name (Dreamers of Navarsiin would also be good too).

My two cents anyway, but if it's a working title, maybe keep it that way for now.

Did some arranging of a couple of the systems last night. No major news, but it's still getting worked on.

I just finished reading all that, and your game sounds amazing.

So PTW.
