    So I'm working on this game, /tg/. Sort of like Oregon Trail/Fantasy X-Com. I posted on it a week or two ago. Anyway, long story short, you're basically in charge of a group of adventurers, and managing them. You prepare them, organize them, customize them, you send them out, then check back later for a report on what they've accomplished, and repeat.

    I want to keep the system very simple, and there's a thread on sup/tg/ if you want to check it out, but basically the stats are not realism(Strength, health, etc), they're gamism.

    And yes, I plan on eventually turning it into a computer game.

    Victory: The unit's base ability to win in a fight. Expressed as a percentage, monsters add difficulty by being a modifier to the percentage. For instance, a unit with a Victory score of 50 has a base 50/50 chance of winning a fight, but when facing a monster of 20, his chances go down to 30%.

    Synergy: How well the unit works with others. Basically, there will be a synergy from this unit to every other unit in the party, with differing rates depending on the units involved. For instance, defender units give good synergy with grenadiers, while bad synergy with each other. (remember, I said it would be ran over a computer, like a communal Roguelike, sort of.)

    Endurance: Again, expressed as a %. Cumulative chance every encounter that the unit runs out of ammo, spells, health, determination, etc, and says "Fuck it, we're going home". Low in fighters, high in wizards and gunners.

    Health: A tiny (never higher than 10) chance per encounter that the unthinkable has been thunk. If the result was anything but 01, the character has been gravely wounded and must recuperate for several weeks (No magical healing, I decided). If it was a 01, the character has simply been killed. Low in "fit" classes, high in "soft" classes.

    I'm thinking I should add more, but Im' not sure. What do you think, /tg/?

    Either I'm reading this wrong, or you're saying if a person has a higher Vic than its opponent, they'll be more likely to lose?

    Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My life as a King is already pretty much the exact game you're talking about.

    Not that there isn't room for more games like it of course, but I thought you should know.

    I don't like that the game play seems largely luck based. Luck if you die. Luck if you win. I don't know. Maybe some more cemented real stats that are less about percent chances and more about this stat versus that stat.

    Yes dice rolls are luck based. But you add modifiers and other things. This is you have a 1 in 10 chance of dying. You have a 3 in 10 chance of failure. Not fun. You have a 15 in 20 chance of succeeding before adding in a +5 modifier is a little more fair.

    ..No its not. You're purposefully skewing your words. Every time you describe his system you use "You have x in y chance of dying/failure, while I have (math problem that equals x1 in y1) chance of success!"

    Nevermind that he's explaining the BASE concepts, nevermind things like equipment or anything. The d20 system's base concept is "roll higher than number, or you fail."

    Well, it's pretty difficult since with the Victory system, but you could add skills, like: Trapfinding (might cancel traps in the dungeon, cancels the effect of the trap (normally a % like that of a monster)

    You could, if you're not too attached to the victory system, make the dungeons a series of encounters (like in the early FF, that is, 1-9) then make them fight these encounters, with things like traps or similar being part of the encounter

    For my money, /tg/ does far too much gamism and not enough simulationism.

    But fuck GNS, because it's just a system designed to shit on anything not N.

    I think your stats are down, alough you could add substats for each major stat.

    Victory = fighting skill, magic skill, other circumstances (terrain, etc). All three add up to the main victory percentage, or add bonuses to the base percentage.
    Character equipment gives bonuses to victory, +5 sword/shield gives +5% vic or something.

    As characters level up, they get access to feats. Bonuses to vic, syn, end and hp etc. chances to find additional items after adventure. You get the idea.

    Equiptment/artifacts have effects attached to them. Much like feats only you have to equip weapon/armor or have artifact in possession.

    I know im just reeling off generic game ideas but this is the kind of stuff that will work.

    Okay OP, looking at that sup/tg/ thread ive noticed the time between that and this post is 9 (10 if you're a dick). My question is, how much have you done so far? Are all of your ideas in a .txt file somewhere or do you have a basic program running etc. Do you have any programming skills?

    I ask because i want to know if i should actually bother following this thread. I dont want to get really interested if its only going to die because people cant be arsed to make it happen. I dont want to be dissapointed, so if you're seriously trying to make this please do tell, otherwise tell us its only ideas in a .txt file.

    Oooh, trapfinding, I like that.
    Trapfinding for trap evasion
    Sneaking for monster evasion
    Hmm, what else.

    And I really want to do a game thats less about FIGHT MAGIC ITEM RUN and more "Can I organize and customize well?", so people choosing movement and action commands isn't what I want.

    >>6092458
    Like Perks from the first Fallouts (Yes, they are functionally feats, but also different effects) Hmmm. I like that. Not sure I follow on the stat breakdown though. Could you explain that more?

    with the more vocal parts of /tg/ always looking for better ways to munchkin or having a preference for rules-heavy, bureaucratic clusterfuck systems for the sake of "simulationism", I'd say /tg/ prefers games that are WORK.

    Have you ever read an explanation of dorf fort by fa/tg/uys? It sounds like an elaborate babysitting spreadsheet program. I love DF, but it still ~sounds~ ridiculous if you try to give the 5-cent explanation.
