What is that?

What is that?

In pokemon, you can only keep 4 moves.  You have to "forget" one to get a new one.

Here I was imagining Forum RPG would be exclusive to PlayStation Move #4MoveOnly

Oh yeah nah.

Forum RPG is all about being overly complex and anti user friendly.

Might have combat ready to go in the next few days.

There should be a hired mercenary system. You spend a certain amount of money to hire someone, and they fight alongside you until you die or stop hiring them.

I set up a new city for the purpose.

Nice!


Yeah party system should be a big part of things eventually. I'm building the combat system around that. These would also fit in with the bot system, where you could tell a merc to leave the party for a bit and fight his own battle.

I still maintain that I should be able to mug someone who is on the path.

How do we want to handle death?

I was thinking something like you only need to bring all enemies to less than 10% health to win the battle. This gives a small buffer for players to lose without their entire squad being permanently dead.

So if any character has their health reach 0, they are permanently dead/a dead corpse lying on the ground. What if a human player dies though?

Theyll need a revive or they pay "death" for their life back.
