I don't know what a PbP is, but DMing sounds like a DnD term, so I'll assume it's related. Can I be the Chaotic Neutral Rogue/Sorceress?

[Clover_Fanboy]

PbP (Play by Post)... and I was thinking of a simpler rules lite system that anyone can learn...

http://www.1km1kt.net/rpg/dicechucker_v3.pdf

These are the rules I'll be working with, although some it will change (More specifically the combat, and Power Dice rules). Since it's a rules light system, 23 pages won't take long to go through...

I claim second in the game of all ninja/warrior/bowmen/pirates.

[Clover_Fanboy]

OK lemme get another point clear. The game will take place in a present time, sci-fi setting... I'll explain the rest of the setting, and rules regarding that once I get a tally of players willing to play...

EDIT. OK About Teh Setting, cos Kit asked:
I didn't really wanna give too much detail regarding this as this game isn't gonna be some epic "defeat this great whatever dude who wants to conquer the planet" campaign, but it will be open-ended (The starting place for the game will be oddish and give players some initial motivation to press forward, but again I'd rather not let players know how it will all start)... So for those players that want to "prepare" for this game world I would rather them create a person with whatever skillz they want for the sake of roleplaying rather than the sake of metagame thinking....
Also this is meant to be a game where players start with normal (normal in gaming terms at least) characters.

OK back on topic. To give you some guidance, this game will take place in a present day, sci-fi setting. By sci-fi I mean you have some leniency in terms of what perks/quirks you give ur characters... I'll paste an example of 1 of the NPC later today...

On character creation...
Character Pool = 3
Perk/Quirk Limit = 5

Attributes should be skills related to the common world...

Regarding weapon attributes (for guns), break it into catergories example: Small Firearms (x), Medium Firearms (x), etc....

Also there will be "Magic" in the game, but your characters will only learn of this later, and as such you'll only be able to take attributes for that when you discover it...

Your character sheet will start out bland, but it'll expand as the game progresses, as well as on the decision your characters make.

I hope that helps. Sorry if you want to hear the full story...

[Zovea]

If you want to avoid chaos, you should post a list of perks/quirks allowed and their respective cost. Also, I assume that you're going to be game master?

Edit: Also, if you're going to post a link, you need to check to make sure that it works.

D:

I just copied the direct URL to the pdf, wtf

http://dicechucker.0catch.com/

And I'll leave the Perks up to the player... Since the point limit is 5, and a hectic perk needs 4 points, they can't go nuts...

[Zovea]

How are we supposed to know the costs of our perks if you don't tell us/give us a list

[nyvelion]

Can we have conflicting perks/quirks?
I always found it funny to intentionally play a character with Berserk and Pacifist at the same time. Or a character who can speak every language in the world, but is mute. Sometimes, self-inflicted challenges can be fun like that.

But I won't know if that's possible until you copy this alleged .pdf file to someplace where the rest of us can see it.

Also, I don't like guns. I want to use a bow instead. Can I use a bow?

[Clover_Fanboy]

Use ur noodle... That's the point of rules lite... Once you submit the character I'll tell you if it's cool or needs to be adjusted... The idea is that you have total freedom

[Zovea]

unless I missed something, the link you gave us wants us to buy whatever it is you want us to read. Also, I've never played before.
