Hey all,

i am a fanatical roleplayer like you guys, i find this site to be a most rewarding and informative tome of knowledge, kudos to you.

anyway, i would like to design a new campaign and world (and computer game hopefully), sort of like a parody of Baldurs Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights and Final Fantasy VIII, if yo will, and i am at loss at what to do, should i
a) make it BG2/FFVIII style - using the BG2 engine, but in the techno-fantasy setting of FFVIII.
or b) FFVIII/BG2 - using the FFVIII engine and using the FFVIII setting
or c)include the best aspects of all of these games.

i am thinking of names
eg detnemed for the world (spell it backwards, hint hint)
Pax Discriminis (a city)
and others

oh yeah, any new classes, kit, place names, deities will be greatly appreciated, i will include your names in the credits.

ps do you guys think this sort of game will sell.

pps what about insult word fighting, any suggestion?

Um.. in the DMG (3rd ed.) there are Prestige Classes. Some like Arcane Archer, Shadowdancer, LoreMaster, ect. And insult word fighting? Isn't that from another game?

hmmm... from scratch?
that'll be a challenge, will you need anybody to help you out?

Sounds like great idea!

As to your first question, Xavier, my vote goes for "a" option - a) make it BG2/FFVIII style - using the BG2 engine, but in the techno-fantasy setting of FFVIII.

As Nanobyte said, there are prestige classes, but could they be really prestige? I mean classes that are not available during generation, but can be accessed through quests/approp.lvl/etc.?

Also, may I ask whether a gamer would be able to create his own character for the game? (For me the main disadvantage of FF is that you have to play with a pre-maid character, not being able to choose race/gender/class/abilities/whatever).
Well, I'm afraid I have too many ideas, so I'll just stop talking for now http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif
Anyway, best of luck with this project!
