What I'm doing is proposing a new roleplaying system that for the benefit of us all will provide a suitable alternative to the d20 madness and all other roleplaying game systems. There is some "Universal" systems out there but many points following they "miss" completely.Here is some solid points I must insist on since I am initiating this project. from this point I will call it project "Role-Play Daemon" or "RPD" for short.1. This game will be Multi-Genre(i.e. Fantasy, Sci-fi, Time Travel, etcetera), and Multi-Paradigm(Realistic, Cartoon, Anime, Dramatic, etcetera) with SIMPLE to learn rules whose essence can be summed up in 1 or 2 pages.2. This system must have 2 different "Modes" first mode is an advanced mode, that using a component based system you can create virtually any balanced "Powers","Abilities", or "Functions" of things. This of course can take some time as it is meant to customize abilities to suit a Genre or Paradigm. the second "mode" is basically the final result mode, this is where abilites are summed up in simple form to quickly pick and play. That way, this truely is a Multi-Genre, Multi-Paradigm system that will apease roleplayers, rule lawyers, tinkerers, and maybe even Wargamers and Card Game players if the rules are simple enough to port over.3.These rules shall be copyrighted by those that contribute to the cause with appropriate royalties and rights according to percentage contributed. HOWEVER, this is only in the case that a deal can be stricken up for public exposure. I want and EXPECT the final result to be 100% free and downloadable. otherwise, whats the point in creating yet again, ANOTHER roleplaying system. the linux of roleplaying you might say.4. Todays roleplaying market is not looking for exact results for roleplaying purposes, it's looking for a quick and simple system to create a "FLOWING" story for the fun and benefit of all. This system should be made with that intention in mind. So originality in how something is handled is welcome, as long as it does not encumber the system with useless rules.5. The character creation system must STRESS "character" development at the beginning of the character creation as opposed to the end. I have some ideas to create "unique" characters with limitless possibilities.6. The main book will be printable with less then 150 pages(or 300 half pages) the contain the bulk of the system. they must also include a 1 or 2 page summary of the basics of the system and an initial Genre and Paradigm included for quick play and testing(my vote is for Dramatic[Anime-like] Fantasy).with the previous points in mind I hope we can make a useful system for everyones enjoyment for years to come.I bring plenty of goodies to this project, as I am rather good with Acrobat writer, Photoshop, Gimp, 15 years roleplaying experience, HTML, and even have access to a server to host this project.Looking for other talent that would like to contribute for the good of the roleplaying community.
