"New RPG system"

[CyMage]

While chatting over AIM/Trillian, Carthrat and I stumbled upon a new way to play RPGs.

Here is the transcript from the logs.


[01:50] Carthrat: CM-------(Running)--------------->C-Rat

[01:51] CyM463: *BAMF*            C-Rat---> <=====|=CM

[01:53] Carthrat:
C-Rat*SHOOM!*---(Rocket)--------- =>CM

[01:59] CyM463: O --=(Rocket)> C-Rat                                       -O CM


[02:01] Carthrat:
1)                C-Rat (BACKFLIP!)
O                 --=(Rocket)>                                      -O  CM

2) O    C-Rat              --=(Rocket)>                 -O CM


02:04] CyM463: C-Rat <----<---Farce Lightning--- *POOF*--<---- CM


[02:04] Carthrat:
C-Rat (----->----->----->-----> CM
        (Mirror)

[02:06] CyM463: zzZzzCMzzzZZZzap


[02:06] Carthrat: C-Rat <--- (FF Victory Dance + Music)


[02:08] CyM463: *Respawn*CM =|====>C-Rat

[02:08] Carthrat: CM =|===C-Rat==>

[02:08] Carthrat: C-Rat: "Ouch!"

[02:09] Carthrat:
                      782
CM =|===> C-Rat

As you can see, it's not the simplest of systems, but it does have it's own charms.

And now for a word from Carthrat.

CM

[Carthrat]

Ok, if you don't understand that, here we go.

Firstly, Carthrat is Running away from CM's poor humour.

CM teleports in front of Carthrat with a BIg Sword.

Carthrat fires off a rocket. The recoil (yes, RECOIL from a ROCKET LAUNCHER) blasts Carthrat back a few metres, leaving CM in a somewhat unenviable position.

CM casts Dimension door in front of the rocket, which appears behind Carthrat.

Carthrat backflips over the rocket, letting it continue towards CM.

CM blows it away with Farce Lightning.

Carthrat reflects the Lightning back with a mirror, frying CM.

CM dies.

Carthrat does the Victory Dance!

CM respawns and impales Carthrat for 782 damage (somewhat in excess of Carthrat's 200 HP.)

We kinda finished there.

Anyway, me and CM are looking for a couple interested players to get together and screw around a little. The only problem we have seems to be formatting, which we'll figure out when we have a couple more players.

Remember, appearance only matters to the eyes. It takes the mind to transform it.

Sorry guys, little time... ^^;;

Interesting.

That could be a blast with the right people.  I shall contact you about this further.
