    Hello, all. I have been looking around at some of the RPG games on this site and I have decided to give making my own RPG game here a try. Before you get too skeptical please read everything through thoroughly before you flame. After that if you still think it sucks then by all means flame away. I'm a grown boy =) But I have an idea for this game. It is as follows.

    *WHAT IS IT?
    Trials is a quick, fast, streamlined role-playing game that allows players to do 3 primary things, ROLE-PLAY, BATTLE, CITY BUILD.

    *CONCEPT?
    I know that we don't have dice or any form of number generator, so I don't want this to get too technical. Bascially the game works like this. Players will choose a PREDEFINED RACE, and a PREDEFINED CLASS. They can name their character whatever they want, but all racial and class stats and abilities will be predefined. I did this to streamline things, make it fair for everyone, and give everyone a quick reference so things dont get bogged down. Once they have chosen these, the player will go forth in a new world called Tanaran and carve their own legacy.

    *HOW DO I MAKE A CHARACTER?
    First a player chooses a race, then a class. All races will have 1 racial ability. All classes will have 8 stats, STRENGTH, DEXTERITY, ENDURACE, AGILITY, WILLPOWER, CHARISMA, INTELLIGENCE, and WISDOM. These will all be rated on a scale of 1-10. Then they will have either 3 abilites or 3 spells(This may expand later, we'll see). I know this is a little limited and linear, but I only do this to make the game less complicated. I notice most people spend a page making a character then they rarely if at all use their stats. Each stat will have a VALUE. This value is what will be used to determine TESTS. So if your warrior has a strenght value of 8 and he wants to attack someone or lift something, I will keep that in mind when determining how successul he will be. A high value is almost guaranteed sucess whereas a low value probably wont make it. Median values are iffy and will depend on the situation.

    *DID YOU SAY BUILD CITIES?
    Yes, in this game players will be able to create their own kingdom if they have the luck and the skill. All the lands in Tanaran will be divided into regions. Each regions will have artifacts called CROWNS. Possessing these crowns allows players to build their kingdom. They will of course, most times be hidden and guarded. There will be 6 levels of crowns. Each allows a player to control a greater township and more followers. Players can use these followers to wage war if they wish. I will explain this more later.

    *SO WHAT ARE THE DETAILS?
    Ok, here goes.

    *RULES
    1. I am the gamemaster and will determine all sucess and will provide the story. The players react as they wish. They can be as active or as inactive as they want. I determine all success of TESTS. I will be fair and unbiased. The game will be totally open and won't depend on a player in order to progress. Anyone can jump in or out.

    2. Anytime you post, please put your name, race and class ahead of whatever you say or do. That way we can better keep track of you and what's going on. This can potentially get hectic.

    3. You can make up your own weapons and equipment as you like. THere are no die so it doesn't matter, but if somethings seems too powerful or unfair i'll let you know.

    4. Anytime you use a spell or ability, please put it in caps.

    *STATS
    1. Strenght- hitting damage and lifting
    2. Dexterity- aim and quickness with hands
    3. Endurace- hitpoints and resistance
    4. Agility- running, dodging, acrobatic feats
    5. Charisma- influence on others
    6. Intellignece- how smart you are, spell sucess
    7. Wisdom- increases success in quests, spell sucess, luck
    8. Willpower- damage and duration of spells


    *RACES AND RACIAL ABILITIES
    1. Human- Versatility; they always have better chance of sucess.
    2. Gnome- Intelligence; add +1 to their Intelligence
    3. Halfling- Swift; add +1 to their Dexterity.
    4. Dwarf- Burly; +1 to their Endurance
    5. Dark Elf- Hide; they can hide as long as they dont move
    6. High Elf- Fair Skin; add +1 to their Charisma
    7. Half Elf- Ambiguous; +1 to charisma, added chance of succes, -1 to Endurance
    8. Wood Elf- Forestwalker; + better sucess in forests.
    9. Infernal- Hot Blood; resistant to fire spells
    10. Fey- Float; they float across the ground
    11. Gnoll- Keen Senses; keen senses, plus to saves and luck.
    12. Ogre- Strong; +1 to Strength
    13. Troll- Resilient; +1 to Endurance
    14. Undead- Dead; resistent to most physcological effects
    15. Catperson- Cat-like; +1 to Agility
    16. Lizardman- Resilient; +1 to Endurance
    17. Ver-man- a ratperson; resistant to disease

    (Again, I ask that you choose from the premade races just to streamline and speed things up. Also, again for streamline purposes any race can be any class. For example a gnoll paladin is different than a human paladin because he is simply seen as a defender of religion to his gnoll people)

    (Again the predefined classes are in the intrerest of streamlining. That way eveyrone has a central reference point if they want to look something up as oppose to flipping through posts trying to find your characters stats)

    *EMPIRE BUILDING
    This game world is divided into regions. Each region contains crowns. Finding these crows allow you to build small camps and eventuall turn them into cities. Note each region can only have 2 cities and only 1 kindom. I'll explain below.

    *Chieftans Crown- there are only 3 of these per region. They allow you to build a CAMP. Camps contain about 6 or 7 tents, and 10 followers. Followers can do anything you wish from fighting to serving your meals. It gives you a Leader's Key.

    *Leader's Crown- Requires a Leader's Key to obtain. There are only 3 of these per region. They allow you to build SETTLEMENTS. Settlments are bigger than camps and they add 10 more followers to your existing 10. It gives you a Governor's Key.

    *Governor's Crown- requires a Governor's Key. There are 3 of these per region. They allow you to build a TOWN. Towns are much bigger, grant you siege weapons and gives you 10 more followers to your existing 20. It gives you a Duke's Key.

    *Duke's Crown- requires a Duke's Key. There are only 2 of these per region. They allow you to build CASTLES. Castles are bigger than towns, grants defenses, siege and add 15 more followers to your existing 30. It gives you a Lord's Key.

    *Lord's Crown- requires a Lord's Key. There are only 2 of these per region. They allow you to build a CITY. Cities are bigger than towns and add 20 more followers to your existing 45. It gives you a King's key.

    *King's Crown- requires a King's Key. There are only 1 of these crowns per region. It allows you to build a KINGDOM and adds 25 more followers to your existing 65. Anytime a KINGDOM is built, all other smaller towns, settlemetns, castles and cities must either, SWEAR FEALTY, DISBAND, or REBEL the rule of the new KINGDOM in a war. Once the kingdom is established, only another kingdom can fight against it.

    *Players can only wage war if they have followers. You must have at least a CAMP in order to have followers. INFANTRY counts as 1 follower, ARCHERS count as 2 followers, CAVALRY counts as 3 followers and SIEGE counts as 4 followers.

    *Players cannot attack CITIES AND KINGDOMS without at least 1 SIEGE IN their army.

    *I decide the outcome of battle based on army strength and players will play a mock game in which they will tell me their unit movements and such. I haven't figured out the details but i have some ideas.


    *THAT ALL?
    Not quite. There is still the setting story to go. But before the story let me go back over the concepts. Pick a race, gender, class and the rest is up to you. You can advenure around, try to build a kingdom, or whatever else you would like. The game does not revolve around 1 player and moves on its own. You can jump in or out at your leisure. Predefined races, skills, classes are made to speed the game up, prevent the game from being bogged down with tons of stats ( we dont have dice or a way to keep record anyways), and to fight frustration from tons of stats. And lastly to keep players from making "GOD" charactrs. When you feel like you want to play, just make a post that tells everyone your characters name, class, and you're all set.

    *SO WHAT'S THE STORY?
    A portal to a new world was found by a rouge trader by the name of Madigard. Madigard owed a humongous amount of debt to leaders of all the great nations such as the elves, the humans, the undead..even the gnoll empire. He had sailed to many of the unexplored lands but failed to find any form of commodity that could pay off his gigantic debt.
    One day while sailing through the Sea of Turmoil, his ship was caught in a storm and wandered into the path of what seemed to be a magical portal. With his best seamanship skills he tried to steer his ship clear, but alas he was drawn into the portal. He and his men beleived they were doomed, but only to find they had emerged from the bright lights of the portal into a calm and peaceful sea of blue waters. Eventually, his scouts found land and they sailed and touched down. The new world seemed strange, but was familiar enough to his own world. There was green grass, tall trees, rivers and mountains.
    Madigard sent his men out to scout and they returned with tales of caves filled with gold, ore and preciouis gems. Lakes were brimming with fish and there were even pools that flowed the magical substance known as mana. This was Madigard's way out. He immediately sent a letter to all the great kingdoms telling him that their fortune awaited them in this new world. However, each kindgom did not know that he had sent the same letter to everyone else.

    This is where your character comes into play. Because of your great skill, your people have sent you on an exploration ship to lay claim to this new world in the name of your home country. A ship was dispatched and on the ship you saw hundreds of adventurers from the other races. Though you were given your orders, you were away from the watchful eye of your king. You could do as you pleased now. You could start your own kingdom if you liked and return to rule your prior kingdom. Or you could carry out your orders with loyalty. Or you can just disappear in this new world and lay low... taking on challenges as they come.
    Your trip on the leaky, dank and foul ship was horrible. The trip through the portal was a bit scary too. Soon, the scout in the crow's nest yells, "LAND HO!". The ship scuttled up close to the shore and a smaller boat was launched to take you to the shores. Relieved that your seasickness was at an end, you and hundreds of other adventures hit the crystal white sands of the region known as Keldoss.....

    We cross the sands and start to approach the treeline. And that's when it hits us: the smell. It's a smell as unmistakable as it is repugnant.

    Why the discrimination between roleplaying in a computer game and LARPing? I've been here a while and haven't come across the reasoning behind this.

    Personally, I'm envious of anyone who still has enough imagination to enjoy this type of play.

    baby arm casts CHILDLIKE WONDER on Lord Chambers.
    baby arm casts MINOR BRAIN DAMAGE on Lord Chambers.

    That should help.

    Ok, Twinfalls' greasy nipples distracted me so we're starting over.

    Lord D4rkness, Lvl 1 Fey-Float.

    I immediately steal all of the crowns and put them in my pants, knowing full well that Sewer Midgets excel at the ancient and deadly art of crown-pants extraction. Uttering arcane words of terror I summon a deadly dragon wagon and prepare for my sexy adventure.

    I am Grey Fox, level 67 lord paragon of the sewer midgets. Seeing baby arm and his coterie of weaklings approaching, I finish eating the last of Jesus Christ's bones and use the divine energies this infuses me with to increase my power to level 93. I unleash a thundering midget blast directly at the moon which, when combined with my amazing powers of mass augmentation, create a gravity well that brings the orbiting satellite crashing directly down on the freedom fighter's head. The Sewer Midget Imperium reigns supreme until I am assassinated by agents of the Goblin-Morlock Alliance.

    “.....amazing powers of mass augmentation, create a gravity well that brings the orbiting satellite crashing directly down on the freedom fighter's head. The Sewer Midget Imperium reigns supreme until I am assassinated by agents of the Goblin-Morlock Alliance.”, the young Susanite finishes reading from the neglected, weather-beaten monument. He unzips the front of his synthetic llamagod-skin jumpsuit and unleashes a stream of frothy teenage urine onto the face of the oft-defiled Grey Fox Standing Stone. “There sure were a lotta douchebags 563 years ago,” he grunts to himself.

    Well, this is the old style of RPG where you point and click where you want to go. It is also in first person vision. The graphics aren't that good, the sound ok, the monsters cheesy (like giant crabs), but the worst part of this game is they try to crossover the scifi and the fantasy worlds. Come on, how stupid is this. Why would anybody carry a sword in a world that has guns? That just ruined it for me. I want to play a fantasy RPG and I get started and the first thing I notice is that I can make a creature from another planet. Then I notice he can also use a GUN! Come on, most people want to play one or the other! I stopped playing the final fantasy series because they went scifi. This game got a 1 from me, and that's only because there is no 0!

    Well how about that? It's not some cut and paste spambot after all. Someone out there truly is this pathetic.
