This thing took years for me to type up. It's not exactly great, but it's not a complete pos . . . Could be considered great, if you consider that most of it was written when I was 10 or so. I'll probably end up adding a lot of more in-depth descriptions of everything, especially locations and such, because I haven't touched that section in years.
How did it take years? I kept changing my mind about everything, and outside influences changed. Long story short, it changed formats a good 5-6 times, and the outcome is good if you keep that in mind.
It's a chat-based rp that really is pretty much controlled by the gm in every aspect . . . You NEED a good GM and competant PCs for battle to work . . . Luckily, I wuv GMing so that's the first half of the equation =D
The following is a link to the "manual", or whatever. I didn't really go into detail about quite a few things . . . Like how the statistics mean so much even though nothing else is really number-based.
I've never played DnD or ADnD, but I looked around sites for them and got greatly influenced by it. I pretty much ripped Feats (or at least the name I am a dork!.) from it, but changed it a bit. Everything has the alignment, so nya. *sticks out tongue*

If you guys are interested in playing, post here. We'd use mIRC (www.mirc.com) on gamesnet. I use the California server, despite the fact that I'm in New York . . . I've just found it, over time, to be extremely reliable. Contact me thru AIM or find me idling on mIRC on gamesnet in channel #clantek (I have it registered, of course I idle in there =P) and we can make your characters through PMs. Here's an example of a character that I've made (I dunno, I just think this is the best possible combo, and hell I made the d**ned thing =P
Note: Yah, Character Creation is extremely complex . . . Makes it more interesting, I think. =)
Race: Demon
Class: Wanderer
Alignment: Neutral/Chaotic
MP: 16
Strength: 7
Dexterity: 5
Intelligence: 5
Wisdom: 8
Speed: 3
Endurance: 8
Charisma: 3
Spells: Heat, Cold, Balrog, Centurion
Feats: Cooking, Tracking, Huntsman, Weapons Expert, Trader, War on Heaven
Note: If you calculated this character without Feats, he/she would have had a -3 Charisma score . . . WTF?!! No. It would have been counted as a Charisma score of 0, and the line would have read like this;
Charisma: 0 (-3)
This means that it counts as 0 for all rolls, but when Charisma is being raised, it will still count as 0 because it is really -3, until it gets back into the positives.
You DO NOT want a Charisma score THIS FRIGGIN' LOW!! A Charisma score of anything 5 or below means that you would frighten a child if you gave them a bar of gold, a loaf of bread, and some fresh clean water. You're that friggin' ugly, deformed, mean, rude, and yeah . . . You've got B O. Even a demon or goblin with a high Charisma score can impress teh ladies, even though such a thing is extremely unlikely. =P
You may notice some conflicts . . . Like the fact that this character has both Balrog AND Centurion, contradicting the fact that Wanderers cannot use Conjuring OR Rune magic. Feats take priority over classes, just as alignment takes priority over feats and classes, and races take priority over alignment and classes.
Meh. I'm rambling. Enjoy!
