Alright. I can do this idea with a small group. Maybe like one or two could join before too long. Is everyone here still on board?

Noted. Tbh I would also prefer to RP on here or a forum, but it seems like most people RP on Discord. I did D&D on Discord and it much prefer a forum.
The only two problems with a broken character are the fact every character will not know any magic at the beginning and need to rely on other skills in the beginning, and the fact that it's a dice system, which is not just to add challenge and limit how powerful a character can be, but also make things interesting. So let's say your character wants to teleport to Nepal, but they end up in a Boulder, Colorado tea house ran by hippies because their skill was low and they only rolled a 9.
And again, a hoodie is not armor, but if someone attacks me with a knife, I would rather be wearing a hoodie than be naked lol. Actual armor is way higher.

Hey guys, I want to go my own tabletop with a homebrew system I'm creating. Maybe to pull that off I can start by playing someone else's homebrew, and maybe build some rapport with some players here. I'm interested in a variety of genres from medieval fantasy to slice of life. The only genres I'm not really interested in are romantic drama, fandoms I am unfamiliar with, and maybe original futuristic sci fi (my reasoning is a bit of a long explanation.)
Anybody got a homebrew they need a player for?

I am looking for interest on multiple websites and might just run the RP on discord
@Expendable It's just...better than a shirt lol. Like it protects better against slashing. Obviously real conventional armor will be a lot more.
@Synonym So can I count you as one interested person?
Hello and welcome

What are some of the most confusing/cringiest OC's you have ever encountered?

Well one time I worked with some kid who made a bone mage. A mage that uses his own bones as weapons and then regenerates them. Then the character had a love interest and she got cold, so he...made her a bone blanket. A blanket made of his own bones.
This is based on a past RP idea I did but expanded and including dice
You are an "unwanted" person (this could mean many things. Family dead? Abusive family? Only real family terminally I'll? Etc.) You signed a contract to participate in an "experiment." A high tech research company with knowledge of the supernatural will take you to a secluded island off the coast of Alaska to see if you can learn what most would call "magic." Why would you do that? The company might have offered money, or a cure, or a clean slate.
The system is based on d20 rolls and skill points. Your HP is 20 plus 2x any athletic skills (martial arts, parkour, weight lifting, etc). If HP falls to zero, you don't die, but you suffer consequences such as an injury or losing items. If the whole party loses all HP, the game doesn't end, but the plot takes a bad turn and everyone suffers greater consequences.
MP instead of spell slots, since this is a magic heavy game. You start with no magic or MP, but learn and increase MP as you study, practice, and use magic.
You play as a normal human, at least at first, so things that cause a lot of damage in real life will hurt you bad in the game, like getting stabbed, shot, or beaten unconscious. You're in the right place if you want to fix this, however, as harnessing magical energy can strengthen your flesh, making you stronger, faster, and more resilient. There is a trade off, however, as the more you use magic for this, the less you can use it for other things.
I will post a list of skills and magic you can choose from, and I will be open to other ideas. You get 10 skill points for Combat Skills and 10 skill points for Support Skills. You can pick whatever skills and distribute the points among them. You won't be a total expert at the beginning, and will have to choose your battles wisely.
No traditional attribute system. Instead of you must roll for something, the result is d20 result + related skill. For example if you need to do a strength check to break down a door, and one of your skills is 3 in weight lifting, then it's whatever you roll on d20 plus 3. Weight lifting also helps with endurance rolls and possibly intimidation.
Example CS
Name: Lena Voss
Age: 22
Background
Grew up bouncing between foster homes and short-term shelters. Learned quickly how to read people, stay unnoticed, and defend herself when needed. She signed Maniacles’ contract because it sounded like a way out—stable housing, purpose… maybe even belonging.
HP: 44
Combat Skills
Jujutsu (athletic skill): 6
Handguns: 4
Support Skills
Stealth: 4
Swimming (athletic skill): 6
Inventory:
Black Hoodie
2 armor and +2 to stealth in dark areas
$15 (Vendors on the island take USD)
Each player would have to keep track of their character's skills, items, and money.

Welcome! I've also been RPing since I was young. I miss how busy RP sites were back in the day.
