The Roleplay
The game is a fantasy roleplay with aspects of gaming. Using the common roleplay in terms of writing and rules as the basis, players will here write the Lore plus a Log for the data. Mind that this is an experimental type of roleplay which I would like to try out. Balance issues and similar will occur, have patience! I hope you will find this as interesting as I do.

Rules ^{(Under Construction)}

Startup
Each player starts with one character which has 10hp and 1 pdmg. They then have 20p which can be distributed from the Point Chart and/or on spells in spell section of The Treasury below. One may only have 6 spells until one gain more spell pages. All players copy the Character Sheet and start adding their information. See to it that all information is correct. Purposely improving your data without a reason other than you wanna pewn is not tolerated. A new thread is opened by the Loremaster, this is the thread where the actual roleplay will take place. Here the players post their Character Sheet with their information, along with character background/lore. These will posts will be the foundation of the roleplaying since this is where all your data will be stored. If you lose hp or gain an item you always go back to this very first post on page one and edit your information. Update it frequently and with honesty, even if someone else attack you and you take tons of damage, for example.

Point Chart is used during start and when leveling up.

Points	Stat
1p =	5 hp
1p =	1 pdmg (physical)
1p =	3 mp
1p =	1 mdmg (magical)

Your Turn
When the game begins the players take turns to make their actions. The turn queue is based on in which order players paste their Character Sheets in the roleplay thread. Keep in mind that all actions must be logged and changes in the Character Sheet that are not supported by the Log will be considered false.

When it's your turn you may choose to either perform an Action. An action could be either, Attack (pdmg), Cast Spell (mdmg), Defend (Sets your character status to Protected), Rest (Restores 10% hp and 5% mp with a minimum of 1, resting will set your character status to Vulnerable) or Use Item (consumables).

After, before or during your turn you can equip/unequip items, make it fit with the lore! This does not count as an Action and does not end turn. Using consumables such as Health Potion does end turn.

Below is an example of how a turn could look like.

Turn: 1
Character: Chizume

Lore (In Character): Long had Chizume feared the encounter of this foul beast. She was overwhelmed with fear. Somehow she managed to gather her thoughts, take a deep breath and push her fear aside. With a sudden leap of determination she charged towards her opponent and with a reckless blow of might she dealt 3 physical damage to the Wolf.

Log (Data): Chizume deals 3 pdmg to Wolf.

OOC (Out of Character): Yeey, my first action!

Gaining Experience
When performing certain tasks such as for instance completing quests or slaying monsters you gain experience. For each new level you gain 3 points. These points can be distributed to your character at the Point Chart or at the spell section, just like one did in the beginning.

Experience Chart displays how much experience is needed for a level.

Level	Experience	Level	Experience	Level	Experience	Level	Experience
2	10 xp	11	145 xp	20	442 xp	29	901 xp
3	17 xp	12	170 xp	21	485 xp	30	962 xp
4	26 xp	13	197 xp	22	530 xp
5	37 xp	14	226 xp	23	577 xp
6	50 xp	15	257 xp	24	626 xp
7	65 xp	16	290 xp	25	677 xp
8	82 xp	17	325 xp	26	730 xp
9	101 xp	18	362 xp	27	785 xp
10	122 xp	19	401 xp	28	842 xp

Spells & Items
Because of the amount of variables, much is handled by using icons. Instead of having to write information over and over it's simply stored in a register which is called The Treasury. The Treasury contains all spells and items supported by the roleplay. To avoid mix ups each icon is unique to each spell or item.

Any player can create items before and during the roleplay. Although, these need to be verified and added to The Treasury by the Loremaster before they can be used. Spells on the other hand, can in general only be added before a game. This is to assure overall fairness and game balance. Exceptions can be made if the Loremaster and other players agree. Only spells and items registered in The Treasury are supported in the game.

Effects
Defense reducing/increasing effects, such as Rest and Magic Nova does not stack, they merely change the state upwards or downwards. The list below display what effects a character can suffer.

Effects affect the character in different ways.

Name	Effect
Protected	Half (50%) damage taken.
Standard	Full (100%) damage taken.
Vulnerable	Double (200%) damage taken.
Frozen	Skips turn.
Stunned	Skips turn. Can't be disabled.
Dot	Damage over time.
Hot	Healing over time.

The Treasury

Spells have three levels of power. Additional points in the same spell ranks them up. You can have infinite amounts of spells.


Cost	Name	DMG	MP	Type	Effects
2p	Fireball	3/6/9(+MDMG) MDMG	2/3/4	Active	None.
2p	Ice Blast	1/2/3(+MDMG/2) MDMG	4/3/2	Active	Freezes target for one turn. Can be Cleansed.
3p	Cleanse	-	6/4/2	Active	Removes freeze, stun, slow and dot effects. Does not end turn.

3p	Magic Nova	6(+mdmg*2/3/4)	5/7/10	Active	Is channeled for one turn, during this time the caster becomes Vulnerable.

Items are objects that can be manipulated by the character.

The Author
Greetings,

My name is Chizume. The first thing I must say is that I'm actually relatively new to roleplaying on a text basis. But like many of us here I have the mind of a gamer, life is just not as funny without points, parameters and critical strikes. One day I was just excessively bored at school. I looked around at the people around me and saw a girl texting someone. Out of nowhere came an idea to my min; a game using text messaging, where players encounter each other in classic turn-based battles. For a few days I used my classes to add more contents to the game. Quite quickly I realized that there were a lot to keep track of on cellphone, so I decided I'd try it on the computer.

I've always been picky with visual things and if you find something messy or unappealing let me know. Also I'd be delighted if you could point out spelling errors. Also, if you need some part of the roleplay clarified please ask me. Suggestions on how to improve the game is highly appreciated.

I hope this roleplay turns out well, and can be here for you to enjoy.

Yours Sincerely,
Chizume

My sample portrait is 173x150 pixels (because of my current computer screen I can't see with pixel precision so that value may be modified to match the Character Sheet even better)
Visual appearance may vary from computer to computer depending on resolution and screen size.

Vocabulary is a list of words and their explanation.

I figured I'd attempt to start a roleplay with this rulebook as a foundation. Please give it a moment of your time and post some feedback, I would highly appreciate it.

If someone show interest in joining I will open a character creation thread.

I REALLY admire the amount of effort you must've put into this, the presentation and such is pretty darn epic. HOWEVER I think you'll find RPing here at the hive is slow enough in typical text and occasional dice driven RPs, with all that complexity I think you'll be hard pressed to gather enough DEDICATED rpers, as most for lack of a better phrase "can't be bothered" to go through all the hardcore RPG elements :/ (admittedly I include myself in that group).

BUT I do hope I'm wrong, I'd hate to see such an amazing effort go to waste!
Good luck

-> If it seems so, perhaps try a RP based forum, I'm sure you'll find some people dedicated enough there!

I'm afraid I believe you are right! It's a shame since I like the community here at the Hive. I'll give it a try though, and if it doesn't work out I'd have to post it at a RP forum as you say.

Thank you for your interest and support!
