Epic idea. What if we did a group adventure DnD style? Create your adventurer, and roll a d6 for your strength, agility, toughness, endurance, recuperation, disease resistance, willpower, memory focus, empathy, intuition, patience, social awareness, creativity, musicality, analytical ability, linguistic ability, spacial sense, kinesthetic sense. If the stats get unbelievable, I'll roll myself.

Anways, the basis of the idea is that there is a Dungeon Fortress Master, who is God, more or less. Each character controls their actions, except during down time, etc. You get a level in a class or your choosing every time you reach a benchmark in EXP. For each class they get a choice of skills they want to level up, based on whichever class they choose. I'll get to that stuff later if much interest is generated. It will be like a game of Dungeons and Dragons, dwarf fortress style.

EDIT: Clarified the d6 thing. I know that there are 8 attribute levels, but I want simplicity. And I know the class charts aren't perfect, but I'm doing a quicky, so people can get started on characters. Will add ranged, magical, and other categories in a moment. Will add spells tomorrow.
See here for spells. Don't go outside of the possibilities here. Ask me if unsure what is out of line.
And go here for dice rolls.

But seriously, can you try explaining it more?
Sounds kind of fun, besides that I have no clue what you're talking about.

I'm interested....

You're not prepared. Attributes are d8, not d6:

It is personality which is d6:

actually d9 and 7 for no modifier

I wish I could moderate my own thread, oidip....

Mysterious and elizar, I chose d6 for a reason. Most people have a d6, whereas I don't think there is such a thing as a d8, and if there is, I don't have one at my disposal. Trust me on this, it will make things simpler.

So you're going t mod this into game somehow?

If so I'd be amazed.

[Evergod41]

I'd be intrested, the Dungeon Fortress would have to be very expansive, because A) to keep outta the caverns every place, and B) so that every other room isn't a bedroom...

[breadbocks]

So you're going t mod this into game somehow?

No. Paper and pencil and imagination style. Imagine it is in the game if you wish.

[eclipsetail]

oh.
QQ

[oidip]

Did you by any chance get this idea from a link somebody posted about dwelves to the DnD website?

[breadbocks]

No. Is there one? I was thinking about how to remix a game to make it cool and original, and I had been reading Order of the Stick. Do the math.

And eclipse, does that mean your questions were answered or what?

[eclipsetail]

yes

[breadbocks]

Well, GET TO IT! I expect at least 4 characters. I'll post a list of what classes can get what skills. I'm adding minor magic, to make it fair. Monsters he double.
