Message: <blockquote data-quote="hewligan" data-source="post: 3283036" data-attributes="member: 19688">I have had an idea, and I may just explore it further:Target market: kids, 9-14Product price: £5-8 ($8-15)Product format: paperback book, or DC comic size book (but with 128+ pages)Format is as so:First few pages contain the rules - very simple rules, easier than M20 or Quick20, but of that essense (so hit points, magic, combat). Can be played with D6 only.Next few pages contain 4 sample characters (although game can be played with 1 to 4, and explains how to adjust each encounter). Can also make own characters.Then the campaign hook begins. The book is half story, half adventure. Think of it as a mix of a campaign setting, adventure, and fighting fantasy book (of the old "turn to section 312" style).What you have is a simple to understand roleplaying game that is cheap, can be played by one person, or more, stresses imagination, but provides a lot of guidance, is by its nature slightly more railroaded than we would like, but more free-form than old Fighting Fantasy books, and is targetted at the young generation, and lastly is available in normal book stores.Does anyone fancy helping me create a concept one? I can write very well, but my art is mediocre (despite an A in high school), and my rules knowledge is mediocre.What do you think? Good idea, stinking idea? Also, could possibly be diluted further into a magazine format with a magazine each month containing a development of the story/campaign. This would allow it to be cheaper (£3/$5), and perhaps reach an even bigger market.EDIT: Just a few more thoughts: by offering each character a limited number of abilities (so maybe only 10 spells to chose from), and making sure there are sufficient balanced encounters, this could almost play out like a card game such as Magic, except that the story element is heavily surrounding this element.</blockquote>
