v1 Alpha by Chris Jokinen
Here you will find my on going work to design a game system that will be free for personal use, now and always. I have been working on this system for about 3-4 years in my spare time and I feel The material has matured enough to be made availible. As with any project where a person mainly works alone, over a long period of time, I need other people to test and examine the rules and check for game balance.
What I have made so far is 2 games designed with overlap between each. The first game allows a dm (or a player if your dm permits) to design a race from the ground up, using a point buy system and a standard set of rules. These races can be used in a game world played by the dm and players as kings fighting to survive in a ever hostile land. This was the turn based strategy game and I will post more rules on this later. The second game is a RPG system for players to make and play their own characters based on those races. Both games are designed to have some overlap between kings and characters, but this is optional as each game is designed to stand on its own. But with both Kings and Characters interacting then both games ends up with a richer and dynamic environment.
The game rules are made to be expanded and broadened to allow for designers to make what ever fantasy (or even science fiction, super hero and, anime based) world they can imagine, but the focus has been on fantasy for now. Rules for the game have a lot more work to be done and if you want to make suggestions or additions you will need to do it with a full release of the material submitted as I do not have time to track a mass of legal agreements.
I am now looking for art for this website and a future pdf. The is NON-PAYING, but I will gladly include a link to the artist website and make a post in the forum and in the pdf. I am also willing to link to an artist profile in zazzle.com or a like website.
