[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7478541, member: 6925649"] What if we wanted to do a paper version of the Oasis in Ready Player One? I've read the book and it seems to me that much of it was based on Dungeons & Dragons, in that avatars have hit points and an armor class and like the 1st and 2nd editions, if they collected coins they gained experience points, and if they slayed a creature worth experience points they would turn into coins. So I suspect that players can either spend their money on the basis of one gold piece per experience point, or they could buy equipment instead. There are two levels to this setting, there is the "Real World" which we could represent by using d20 Modern and the Oasis, which we could represent by using Dungeons & Dragons. So each player would roll up two character sheets, one for his "Real World" character and the other one for that character's Avatar in the Oasis. Now I read the book, and it appears the Oasis is in the shape of Rubic's Cube, which is a 3 by 3 by 3 cube with 27 sectors. Each sector has a bunch of planets in it, and these planets represent various settings. For example, one sector has all the planets that ever appears in all the Star Wars movies and novels. Another Sector has a bunch of fantasy planets for Dungeons and Dragons and perhaps Lord of the Rings as well. There are Post Apocalyptic settings in another sector, and yet another sector has a world with superheroes in it. and so forth. [/QUOTE]
