Halo RPG Game-Spartans of Harvinger Six: Player's Welcome
« on: October 22, 2011, 04:36:04 pm »

I have just started reading the Halo series of books, and they have given me the inspiration to try, and run a Halo RPG game on Maptools, but first I wanted to check if anyone was interested, as well as ask for advice, or help on making the ruleset for it.

I plan to have the game revolve around a group of Spartans (And Marines if you anyone wants to play as them) who have been stranded on one of the Outer Worlds. Your ship has been destroyed by a Covenant Fleet, and you are stranded on Omega Prime IX along with the remains of its PDF, and those civilians who are still alive. You will be tasked with surviving the Covenant Onslaught, and taking control of the Planet's Capital back from Covenant Force who have taken control of it. Along the way you will meet groups of Marines, and Civilians who have survived the initial assault, and are now holed up in a defensive position. They will ask you to help them out in various ways, and will promise varying things from important supplies like ammo, and medical supplies to vehicles, and weaponry for completion of said task.

You will also be able to construct varying things from the scraps, and bits you find around the planet to aid you in your attack such as Auto-Turrets, and Makeshift Napalm Grenades. You will also have the ability to command squads of civilians, and marines during battle which brings us to the focus of the game, Large Scale Battles. These battles can have anything from 20 to 100 units fighting at once for anything from control of an area to recovery of a supply cash to the rescue of a group of civilians.

So what do you guys think of the idea ? Is it do able, or what ? Any advice, or comments are encouraged.

Features:
Large Scale Combat
Crafting
Vehicular Combat (Both Vehicle vs. vehicle, and Soldier vs. Vehicle)
Squad Control
Space Combat (Very Rare, but will happen)
Special Abilities for you to Choose
Main Quest Line
Numerous Side Quests, and Side Story-lines

I wasn't corrupted by shooter fans just the Halo Books. If I had been corrupted by Shooter Fans then this would be a Modern Warfare Tabletop game, not Halo :P

EDIT: Added a List of Planned Stuff to the First Post, so you can get an idea of how it will play out.

None at all as all rules will be posted in this thread, and I will help you as we go through the game if you need any at all.

I am working on the system now, but you mostly just invest a few stat points, buy abilities, & skill, and then buy your gear which works on a point system. I will have it up by tomorrow, so it will be up soon.

EDIT:
Here are the Abilities I currently have worked out.

EDIT EDIT: I have some of the Weapons Finished Check my second post to see them.

Wait wait, hold on a minute. Don't you have an rtd and/or forum game going on? I mean, you can't keep on churning out forum games then abandoning them. (I am the biggest hypocrit ever.)

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.
Welcome to Reality.

It isn't a forum game its a Tabletop RPG I am going to run on Saturdays, or Sundays, so it won't effect the others except for the times, and days I will update them

Heck, put me down as interested.  The Halo universe has always appealed to me, even if the games seem to have lost their touch since the first.

That 2 Players we have, so far, and I am now working on the attributes for it may take a while to balance everything out.

Perhaps you'd like to base this off another more effective and existing system rather than making your own? d20 and the system for Dark Heresy might work well for this.
