    ^Same here. I've actually been waiting for something like this.

    I've wondered if something like this could work, if you could actually get it going then I'd love to try this out. The story could use a little work I suppose, but the whole one side against the other should work out great.

    I've seen this done a few times before. Play-by-Post and numeric stats aren't really that great a mix. The only way to really integrate the stats would be to make something uberly comprehensive, and apply a dice system to it. But then (IMO), it tends to detract from the flow of the story.

    Slaughtermatic could get someone to post the stats in between posts, or something like that.

    I like the idea so I'd try. I can't say I won't fail,but I'll be happy to try. I've never done one of these before.

    Knife Thrower isn't actually a very good description of-Nevermind, you'll see.
    The stats will use relatively simple formulas and dice will be involved. It will detract from the story but once again, the main appeal of this is supposed to be the combat.
    As you can see in the example fight in the first post, I will be doing that.


    Anyway since this is actually gaining a response when I get home I will flesh out the story and make a tentative version of it, and make a signup thread.

    You should all know, however, that on Saturday I'm leaving to go to camp for a week, so we'll have to wait at least that long to start

    Glad to see you'll flesh out the classes. Will more classes be added? D8

    Right now I want to start with few classes because I'm going to want at least one of each class. If there is enough interest I may add another class. Each class will have the ability to "Upgrade" to a new class a la FFT, for example the Archer becomes the Hunter and uses a crossbow. It's all optional, of course.

    The Warrior can become the Berserker and use an Axe. The rest of the upgrades can be seen in the signup thread that I'm making right now-it'll be a while.

    Currently in the middle of writing the singup thread but I'm super tired, I'm going to have to finish it tomorrow.
