Kay, here's how it goes, you pick a race, and 1 perk for the race. I'm going to cut through the crap, and say

whoevers playing has a ship and does odd-jobs and quests.

The rule things goes as such. In combat you can shoot, heal, use a magic/implant thing, or anything that would

take an amount of time. Talking to whatever is fine. Moving farther away, or closer does not take up your

turn. When fighting, a burst of machine gun fire is one turn, a couple shots with a pistol is one, a sniper

shot is one, a couple swings from a melee weapon is one, you get the idea.
There is no classes, you just give your guy a new perk for each level he gains. It's kinda' like a tech tree.

Buy the Pistol Accuracy and unlock Advanced Pistol Accuracy, and etc.


20 on a hit is a critical, and the guy is instantly harmed, and cannot try to save himself with an armor roll.

(LOOK BELOW SON)

BUT WAIT. Then roll again for your armor roll, say the human is wearing a helmet, (+1) and a torso armor

thing of ceramic plating stuff (+3) so the enemy has to roll 7+ to really take down the motherhugger.
So then the enemy had a lazer gun that does 3 damage.
The human now has 17 health from 20.
It's pretty simple. Roll to hit, roll for armor, deal damage if any, then repeat.

(BTW ALL HAND TO HAND BARE OPEN HAND COMBAT IS JUST 5 POINTS OF DAMAGE kk)

Smart rolls are rolls when dodging a trap, doing a puzzle, outsmarting someone, whenever I say DO A SMART

ROLL. Do it.

Instead of rolling a 20 and doing a critical hit on the hit roll, the enemies weapon explodes in his hands,

instantly killing the poor fellow. If he doesnt have a weapon in his hands, his hands explode. There after

leaving him helpless and wanting to ask for a job refund.

Description
------------------
Large bio-suits covering their bodies, and respirators attached to their necks, Zets are somewhat odd-looking,

which isnt the least of their unfortunate problems.

You are all doing it right, except, I will assign you money, which you can purchase weapons and equipment at the start of the game. (Which will start in a nice little space shop.)
I'm not going to be strict about rolls, but if you get a lot of high rolls, I might start sending ♥♥♥♥ your way, so be careful.

I also might try to condense the rules down, so people understand it better.

BTW: Here's an online dice roller for you guys.

Double BTW: Trouser, Meeps aren't meant for fighting, and I'm not sure if poision syringes will be weapons.

Can my meep be a bit like yoda without the force, very clever, but small and feeble?

<---Thim
Perks:Gun Training

EDIT: Just realized that my avvie looks sorta like how the Thim are described... except Mr. Creeper is just a creepy neighbor...

If you perk him up to that level sure.
EDIT: I'm changing around Zets a little bit, they are still unlucky/lucky but some of their abilities seem a little hardcore.

Also I'm adding more perks soon.
Aspasia, Akimbo has prequisites, you need to perk up to advance gun training before you can do that. :O

Okay I changed it to Gun Training. I think we have an adventuring party now... any ideas on how soon the story will be done, or at least when we can start? Do you have race specific Perks? Are there orcs? I mean... it is a FRP... there has got to be orcs!

Your just a bunch of merc buddies hired to clear out an old military outpost on an abandoned colony planet.

And you have a cool little ship.

Good good.
I've always wanted to try DnD >_>
So a simpler version will hopefully be good.

That's an amazingly detailed backstory, I can tell you've done roleplays before.

Who is the Captain? Do we take turns? How big is our ship and what can it do...
A Weapons/Armor menu + our gold would give us something to do whilst you work on the story and stats and stuff.

Metal Chao: DnD is extremely fun, esp. with good friends. You get sexual innuendo flying out the wazoo. Plus other really funny stuff... EDIT: That you think about later and realize it wasn't really funny
