RPG project

[volcan]

Ok here is my story idea. Not sure how good it is or even if it will work.

You and your team are a guild that protects this city (sorry no name yet) from any intruders and such. Mainly from Lypnords (just made up name) that are a race of lizards, who are assassins.

Someone comes running into your guild and informs you of a Lypnord that has been spotted in the forest outside of town. Your team heads into the forest and finds chests planted there with armor, weapons, items and some cash in them. (Like someone from within the town is helping and paying this freak to do this job! It also fits your characters too! )

On your first attempt this lizard assassin freak uses a sleep spell on your team... You wake up four hours later and head to town to find out someone (not sure who) has been killed. So after talking to the doctor, you find out about a plant that grows in the swamp to the south that can be used as a vaccine against this sleep spell. Your team goes to this swamp and retrieves it for the doctor. (Now next time he can't cheap out and put us asleep!)

Then finally another one is spotted, this time in a cave northeast of town, and again you find chests with armor, weapon, items and some cash. When you reach him and win the battle against him, you find a note with a mans picture and address. You question this lizard right before he dies and get very limited info. But, you do get a little! When you get back to town, the man thanks you and rewards your team for saving his life.

What it is that happens is you keep getting a little more info each time on who is hiring these freaks until finally you figure it out.

Note: The sooner you figure it out, the better ending you get! The game will have "Training Missions" you can do to build up your team. It will have some town events ect...

Just a basic overview of the game I wanted to make. Sorry no name yet.

All ideas welcome. Tell me what you think.

Thank you all

Sounds fun! Sounds like a DnD campaign. Which is basically the highest standard of quality ever.

Re: RPG project

The next Lizard isn't so easy to find though. You carry a radio and the guild let's you know that this new lizard freak all but vanishes off the radar. So now you have to keep radioing in to get directions on finding him. Basic info such as North, South, East and west. When you narrow it down enough to where your right by him, you use a smoke grenade and he appears! Battle time!

Just sounds a little funner. Like hide and go seek type thing. :P

Be careful though! Who ever is on the inside knows what your up to! Now some of the treasure chests are booby trapped! When opened, they blow up and reduce your teams HP to one each! Then you have to fight it too!

There will be some that make it all the way into town and you can only ask for a set amount of directions before the person is killed! So be careful.

The more people who die, The worse ending you will get! Don't worry though, you will be allowed a few deaths before the ending starts dropping

Re: RPG project

Sounds like alot of fun. I don't know if you can do that chest thing unless you make so they don't gain health when they gain levels.

For the most part it makes sense, Its kinda odd having radar and radios, in a midevil game. But that sounds like it give a " fun " aspect ( I don't know if i used that word right ) I would play it.

Re: RPG project

Yea the radar and radio does sound far fetched. Maybe some kinda of psychic ability? Sorry about that word... Heard it a hundred times, but never spelt it.

It will use (another one of them words!) "Telepithy" and other such mystic abilitys.

I better go read up on this stuff, if for no other reason than spelling! :P

Thank you for your advise!

Re: RPG project

Ok here is my first scene.

Your in a room with your captain and commander discussing a letter they received. It tells how this weird person is going to start hiring assassins to kill people in your home town. (This is a sick twisted individual)

He wont's to see how long he can play this game with your team before he gets caught. (Like I said, sick!)

Your commander and captain are stumped and can't find any clues from this note. So your conscience says "Nows your chance to shine!" (Yes, your conscience does talk to you in this game sometimes. He uses the "Adventurer draw 3 model")

You get presented with four choices.
1. Sounds like an outsider.
2. Sounds like someone with money.
3. I bet it's that freaky guy!
4. (I have no idea, shut up head!)

Just offering an idea in the direction i'm thinking of going with this game. So tell me how it sounds.

Thank you.
