FlexRPG
A downloadable game
This is an RPG that I have been working on for some time. The premise is simple, but might not work for everyone. The premise is that you are starting your character with no knowledge of anything, only attributes. As you take your character out into the world and encounter challenges or learning opportunities, then your character begins to take on life with skills and eventually a "class" that is essentially just the encapsulation of what the character knows. For example, a ranger is someone who knows the woods and can survive in them with little concern. A ranger can be:
- Anyone who can survive in the wilderness, no combat needed
- Anyone who can traverse the wilderness without fearing becoming lost or hungry
- Anyone who can hunt and track in the wilderness without fear of becoming lost
- etc
It allows the player to make a character that they feel fits their idea of a "class" and not take on skills that they feel don't really benefit that idea.
The same is true for what "skills" the character learns. There isn't a set list of skills, there are some suggestions at the end for those who might want an initial lift into the system. This allows the player to learn what it is that they feel makes their character... theirs. Not a cookie cutter set of information that everyone uses. This allows there to be multiple characters who all have similar knowledge... yet they still stand out from the others based upon the whole of their knowledge.
Right now the game is setup and has been tested as a Solo RPG and has the following working guidelines:
1) The Player is willing to let the rolls help lead to the development of the character
2) Once the character has been created, as new opportunities are discovered, a path for character growth will be alluded to and lead to further character growth
3) The Player won't let the dice lead to stagnation of character growth
There is currently only the cover art for the main RPG. This is subject to change based upon the rest of the artwork chosen to keep continuity of art.
