Howdy!

I've been tinkering with the idea of coding my own MUD codebase, and I want to make it as unique as possible.

Therefore, I decided one night that I needed to generate my own RPG rule system.

GAME PREMISE:  (Medieval setting)

The world is covered in darkness.  Powerful immortals roam the lands, leaving behind them a wake of chaos and destruction wherever they go.  It is up to you to dedicate yourself to the Warrior Path to make the Realm safe again for mortal men.  Are you up to the task?


Basically, the whole premise of the game is similar to the Highlander series, except that there will never be ONLY ONE.  The goal is to become the strongest player, and be able to defeat any challenge.  There will be magic (magic system will be generated along with the ruleset, of course).  I'm just having trouble figuring out where to start.  


Any ideas?

In my experience there are more rule systems than there need to be.

This has been many years ago but for some reason, your idea sounded like old mud code...I want to say it was called Godwars or something like that.  Anyway, I am just thinking of the days where all of the MUDs were text-based.

That's exactly the premise I'm wanting to use.

However, I don't want to deal with the Merc/Diku licenses, and I don't want to base it off of DnD either.  I want my own rule system, and my own codebase.
