Hey all !
Some of you from DYKG will remember that nearly 2 years ago, we played this RPG with some forum members where folk would have a character with stats and all, and they would follow an adventure. (Similar to D&D, but I had worked out everything from scratch given that I had never actually played D&D)
Well I'm so very up for doing that here !
Here's how it would work
Up to five members of the forums will each have a character.
They can create and personalise their character however they see fit (old man with seven legs, person covered in bandages, 9-foot lady with a mohawk, etc...).
They will then choose their stats (see below for how that'll work) and we'll get under way !
I'll be writing the story out as it unfolds. At the end of each episode, there will be choices for the adventurers to make (story-choices or battle-choices). You can do whatever the bloody hell you want within reason. In the last RPG, the adventurers were on an airship and one user decided to crash it on purpose. So you see, I'll go with whatever you say.
Sometimes, I'll PM an adventurer with a secret question that I don't want others to see. Last time, one or two adventurers started sabotaging the others which was great fun. EDIT - Hell I remember we even had a secret forum member controlling a shady character. Also EDIT those in the waiting list will be able to take part as NPCs and battles !
So sign up if you want to play !
I'll take five adventurers for now, given that any more would be too much to calculate and whatnot for the time being.

STATS
There are seven major stats
- Strength (how hard you hit)
- Accuracy (how accurately you shoot)
- Endurance (how long you can fight/run/drink without getting tired)
- Agility (how agile you are)
- Luck (just a little something that could change the course of events)
- Intelligence (how intelligent you are. Too low and you won't even be able to speak - like in Fallout )
- Stealth (how quietly you can move and how detectable you are)
Bonuses!
Each stat will begin on 6.
You have the choice to increase two stats by 4. If you do, you will have to decrease another by 2 for each you increase.
You also have the choice to increase two stats by 2 but will have to decrease another by 1 for each you increase.
For each bonus you choose, the decrease must be made on only one stat. Other rules apply for stacking.
Stacking Bonuses
You may stack your bonuses on the same stat. However, if you decide to do so, the number you increase by will have to have an equal decrease.
So if you decide to stack both +4s on one stat, you'll have to deduct -6 in total (-2 & -4)
If you decide to stack both +2s on one stat, you'll have to deduct -3 in total (-1 & -2)
If you decide to stack every bonus on one stat, you'll have to deduct the total bonus amount (total bonus = 12, total deductions = 12).
When you stack your bonuses, you are allowed to spread out your deductions on as many other stats as you wish.
Options
To determine your stats, you have two options
1 - Have all stats start at 6 and add/substract the stats you want.
2 - Have all your stats randomly generated from 1 to 11. You will then be able to add and subtract the stats you want as was mentionned above. If you are unhappy with your stats, you may have them randomly generated once more. After this, you must use the stats given.
If you choose the second option, you may not revert back to the first option.
If you choose the first option, your stats are safe.
If you choose the second options, you run the chance of having kick-ass stats (or really sucky ones )
Here's an example to illustrate the options
Option 1
Strength – 10 (6 + 4)
Accuracy – 10 (6 + 4)
Endurance – 6
Agility – 4 (6 - 2)
Luck – 8 (6 + 2)
Intelligence – 4 (6 - 2)
Stealth –5 (6 - 1)
The user chose to increase two stats by 4 and one stat by 2. Therefore, he or she had to decrease two stats by 2, and one stat by 1.
Option 2
Strength – 9
Accuracy – 8 (4 + 4)
Endurance – 5
Agility – 11
Luck – 3 (3 - 2 + 2)
Intelligence – 8 (9 - 1)
Stealth – 10
The user chose to increase Accuracy by 4 and Luck by 2.
They then chose to decrease Luck by 2 and Intelligence by 1.
Overall their stats are better than the person who chose the first option. But maybe they just got lucky...
Health !
Health is worked out like so (1EN + 2ST) if your ST is higher than your AC - (1EN + 2AC) if your AC is higher than your ST.
- Strength (how hard you hit)
- Accuracy (how accurately you shoot)
- Endurance (how long you can fight/run/drink without getting tired)
- Agility (how agile you are)
