This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So I'm starting something new, and maybe y'all can help me out, as I'm a total game-design novice. My first post will go up Monday morning, detailing the first half of the ability scores. Here's the introductory post I put up a couple weeks ago:

I know, I know... does the world really need another game system?

Why not? :)

Part of the idea of this is to design a system that's easy to learn, easy to play, and at least partially community built. I also plan on releasing the finished system under a license that will hopefully encourage people to create additional material for it.

Anyone interested?

Good stuff, errr system? Hopefully your combination of hobbies will bring as much success as the guy that wrote the Malazan books (reputedly those started out as a D&D campaign).
