Basically what if we all got together and created our own system for forum roleplay's that uses stuff such as dice, stats, character sheets etc so there's some other sense of character advancement and some limit to what characters can do rather than just what's typed in the post goes?
Any starting ideas?
I'm think we start with the core.
Abilities such as:
-Strength
-Dexterity
-Constitution
-Intelligence
-Wisdom
-Charisma
-Attractiveness
But instead of simple point buy for abilities alone like in D&D it's more GURP's like in the sense each RP has a set amount of points to spend on characters, but these points can be spent anywhere, skills, gear, contacts, abilities, you name it, and some things like flaws/disadvantages can be taken which give you more points to spend.
Though we'd have to be careful to allow this to still be open to creativity in the RP, and be vague enough that people don't mix-max they're characters and take away from roleplaying, but in depth enough to add some kind of structure to the RP and character.
Turt has a similliar system up already here.
But I'm looking for something more expansive/complete that can encompass any RP style/setting that has a clear way of making, generation and improving your character.
