So what happened to this project?  Has it been abandoned?  As a Dabbling Game Designer I find myself fascinated by threads like these.  Twelve years?  Wow.  Most of my attempts end up in the trash after a week or so.  I would love to help beta test if this ever gets to that point.

[MaximumZero]

It hasn't been abandoned, but it is on the back burner for now. Full time student, work, family, looking for a house, and life itself seems to be getting in the way of me actually working on it. Fear not, however, as it will continue! Just...not right now.

Is there a fertility stat? No? Here's an idea for it:

You can ask a member of the opposite sex (gay ___ added in an expansion?) (preferably the same race) if they want to have ___, and you roll the D10 to determine your success. Factors that will effect your chances of success are: Charisma, race, xp, your relationship with the character, agility, seduction, fertility, alignment, and reputation. If you fail, they will refuse and it will damage your relations with them. If you succeed, then they agree and you two (please just two) go off to find a nice secluded spot.

WILL EDIT IN PART 2 OF THIS SUGGESTION TOMORROW!

I think he's aiming for what FATAL isn't.

This. So much this.

I'd imagine pregnancy ought to be delagated to role-playing instead of rolling dice to see if it happens or not... Plus why do you even need to factor in a fertility stat to have a better chance of sex? "Ma'am, I am very virile" does not a very good pick up line make (Seriously, try it if you dare).

Seconded. Holy crap, so seconded.

[sonerohi]

Although making fun of FATAL with a few stupid character traits would be cool. Something like rolling for forehead width, and then never using the stat.

Something like rolling for forehead width, and then never using the stat.

Headbutt formula: forehead width + skull density + spine strength + height + neck length + body momentum + neck momentum + spine flexibility?

[chaoticag]

Really, random useless things will detract from the experience in my opinion. There's one thing when you wonder how often the rules for fallout would crop up, another thing to have something usually reserved for April fools supplements crop up in the main book.

Looks very nice! Will buy if it comes out

Thank you for the interest!

I have a dilemma, B12. I'm separating "Combatants" from "Monsters". Which list do the undead go in?

[dragonshardz]

Depends. I'd put stuff like Vampires in Combatants, because they're sapient. Stuff like Zombies and The Hollow I'd put in Monsters, because they are not sapient.

Yeah, I've been thinking about that. And renaming the Hollow to something cooler/less cliche.

[dragonshardz]

The Hollow = reanimated skin, right?
