Battle / RPG System (for the board)

[Echelon]

I'm sure others have seen RPG Systems on some boards (mainly PHPBB, I think hparadize has / had one) and just thought I'd bring it up here.

Would it be possible to have?
Is it a good idea?

I personally don't see how it could be something bad in any way. It would make things pretty interesting I guess.

I think I'd like an RPG mod, but to date there's hasn't been one made for SMF, though I've heard that there are some in the works.

The closest thing to it available is the shop mod that lets users gain and spend money.

I remember the old Bakunyu Baka board had an RPG installed, and though it was kind of hokey, it was still kind of cool.

I plan to make many rape dollars selling useful Viper information.
Dunno what to buy with all that cash though....

your own ann millers resturant?

so you can hire your own busty, yet cute blond bespecled waitress?

[Hyperguy]

There's an idea.

Or, we could sell passes to VIP sections of the forum.

I was thinking that selling the book of summoning from Viper GTS would be cool too.

If anyone's interested in getting an early peek of what the shop looks like, switch to the default template and follow the shop link.

Alternatively, you can follow this link:

SHOP

There's quite a bit of possibilities for items you can sell in the shop.

Among some of the coolest attributes for items are:

'Download XXX File'
'Add XXX to post count'
'Decrease other's post count by XXX'
'Steal Credits'

Then there's the token items.  The items that do nothing.  I could probably make some really interesting ones, like the ability to own the gun from Contra 3, Ryu's Headband, or even a copy of the Sacred Tome from Makai Kingdom.

if you want, i have several things laying around my hard drive as a result of making sprite comics that would go over well in the item area

tri-force
other assorted hyrule weapons/items

and it doesn't take much to isolate and remove particulare items from a sprite, so if you would like help with that part, drop me a PM and we can see what works

I have never heard of a better idea than that very one.



I dislike the idea of modifying the post count or logon time.  I think those are bogus methods to mess up useful stats.  I have no beefs with being able to modify money or karma though.

Back on GameFAQs, people use the seconds of their post as a random number generator. The same can be applied here, in case we need a bit of variation for the battle system.

True, but would we run d20, d10, some other system?  I am for this idea as it might make for some interesting posts.

I never played D&D, so I'm not quite familiar with the different systems and such. Usually on Gamefaqs, the first few posts would describe what event happens on what number.
