No can do =(
Kabrinski:
I know how to play a traditional pencil-paper RPG folks, I just didn't really think you could apply traditional mechanics-henceforth my half-hearted attempts at an RPG-Doom Hellhole being a prime example.
THough I may try to impliment some actual mechanics in wasteland-it's worth a shot.
Silhar:
Applying the mechanics into a PBF is not a difficult task to accomplish, it's also believed that it makes hosting the game a lot easier. If one decides to use such thing, all the rolls are mostly either made by GM himself, or by the means of some online roll generator (like invisiblecastle.com, my personal favorite).
But there's an old truth - mechanics have to be simple enough not to kill gameplay. I had many problems trying to host a Deadlands or Wolsung game, because you just can't solve the matter of playing cards usage via forum board. If I may suggest - Traveller is fine for sci-fi games, as well as Cortex. Savage Worlds are pretty fun to implement, yet the pen'n'paper game itself is hard to balance properly...
So far, the best one I've ever tried to engage is New World of Darkness, being pretty elastic, simple and intuitive.
Making your own mechanics is a tough job. Tried this once or twice, but hurt my head severely.
Sylith:
@Kabrinski
I think any of us will be happy to help, but if I might suggest... maybe make another topic for this, if you need anything else?
(OOC is longer than IC, it's getting awkward.)
@Klear
That was meant only for Silharr. Fear not, you will be forced to talk with the Seer any time now... :3
Kabrinski:
Alright-will do.
