'Simple Game Engine' RP (Anyone want to join in?)
« on: June 04, 2010, 07:36:56 am »

'Aight, so here's the deal. Some of you may remember my 'Simple Game Engine' (or SiGE). I wanted to know if anyone was up for a game. Four players versus me, the dungeon master. It will be played on an octagonal grid system and will be in a low-magic fantasy setting.

Here is the engine

To play it on a grid ased system there will be a few changes. Firstly, there will be a new skill called movement, it determines how many squares you can move. When walking you can move as many squares as you have movement points and twice as many when running. A skill of about four is about right for the average human (I think).

If there is anything you are not sure about then just ask.

Here's the character sheet:

Name:
Motivations:
Skills:
 - Combat:
 - Non-combat:
 - Intelligence:
 - Movement:
Equipment: (be sure to include any bonuses you want in the equipment)

To be honest, there isn't a lot about this that is very interesting. While you have formalized the mechanics into a game engine, there are a lot of other games out there with similar mechanics but much more interesting development, or gameplay, or a plot, etc. In addition, the way the game is set up, the players don't really have much direction, and the mechanics are open to abuse since there are no rules for motivations/skills other than what you allow at your discretion. If you develop it a bit more I may be willing to give it a try, but you can tell from your last thread that this is a very confusing system.
