Thanks for the suggestions. Meddling Kids sounds like the sort of thing I have in mind! I'll look into those. LOL. This is funny. First I had to defend that the system isn't too complex, now you are implying that it seems too easy. Sometimes you just can't win. But seriously, the point...

I would like to make the list of magical items in the game longer. Can someone help me with some ideas for silly made-up items that might be useful to kids in an urban setting? Here is the list I already have... ~~~~~~~~~ Examples of magical items: • A backpack that holds a LOT of stuff, but...

BTW, I posted a version 1.57 at the link above. I expanded the introduction and added a sample character. Also some other changes here and there. Something tells me I am going to be constantly tweaking this for a while to come... good thing it's fun. :)

Thanks for the kind words from both of you. Drawmack, when I designed the game I didn't even think of the kids running the game themselves. Hmmmm...thats interesting. I am not sure the age group I have in mind can do that. I was thinking more along the lines of coming up with rules that I...

In case someone on this thread is interested in what I came up with using the Ratio mechanic, please pop on over to http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?p=3341784 ...and comment away.

As some of you may know, I have been looking around for a rules-lite RPG. The main reason I have been doing this is because I want to introduce my 6 year old daughter and 5 year old son to roleplaying someday. In a non-violent game setting I think there are great moral lessons and teamwork...

Wow, this is terrific. I was off for a couple of days brainstorming another pet game concept I was inspired to type up, and when I get back you have this full blown system based on the ratio system I proposed. Nice work. When I saw that you ran with it, I knew I had to get off my butt and...

Me too! I thought it was a melting mask or helmet of some kind. Well, this thread is certainly turning out to be enlightening...

Damn, how cool is that? :cool:

"Larcen" was my favorite 2E character, an Elven Spellfilcher, so I wanted something that was sort of like magic being used in total darkness... hence the purple pulsating thingie at left. Larcen has since become the name I use most everywhere online.

Allow me to give you the abridged version then. Here is pretty much the entire system expressed in a single sentence: Roll your rating or less on a die type determined by adding your rating to the target number. That's it. Doesnt seem like much more math the usual "d20+bonuses vs. DC" does it?

Sorry, I suddenly got busy at work yesterday. It happens. :) Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. I'm honored! I will check out that link at lunchtime today and see what the masses are up to there.. I have been thinking more about the Ratio system and what's bothering me at this point is...

What a strange coincidence that I should happen upon this thread today. I just proposed a simple resolution system yesterday that could really make use of all these weird dice! Take a look here to see how perfect these dice would be for this new Ratio system...

Er, of course a system that gives players gobs of free bonuses would be a huge hit. I can't imagine the players saying "Nah, we dont want all those free bonuses..." :) Contributions to thread: FATE's pyramid scheme for skill building. The rules for this are free and easy to find, so...

Thanks. The whole system came about because I have been reading a lot of rules-lite systems lately and one thing kept annoying me. That is since the bonuses are always so low, a huge discrepancy starts to show up fairly quickly between people who have relatively small differences in bonuses...

Yes, for certain rolls lke a contest between two people, the extra number on the die can very well be a "goes on to the next round" type of thing. I see where you are going with this. You are saying the lower bonus doesn't always need to take the lower numbers on the die. The person making...

Here is a little something I threw together today after being inspired by the small and simple bonuses on the MicroliteNot20 character sheet. I've never seen anything like what I am about to propose, so someone let me know if it’s been done before. Ratio Resolution System Instead of using a...

Ha. Not for nothing, but this made me chuckle. You say all this no no no stuff and then end it with “I've got three other editions”. I wonder how many other people are saying the same thing… and have said it for all the previous editions as well? There are quite a few on this thread...

I'm lovin this. Its got CHA, D6's only, stats=bonuses, actions points, generalized skills, and a simple subskill type system. Heck, add in some ideas from the classless M20 system I posted earlier, for better PC customization, and I'm sold. :)

Yes! I suggested this a long time ago and people did think I was crazy. "Too many cooks", or somesuch reasoning. I say, the more cooks the better. Especially experienced, table-playing, rules savvy cooks. Only makes sense to me for WOTC to let their target audience get a preview before...
