Well, you guessed it, I went right on over to Red XIII's house and then over to a house of his, and to our bewilderment more freinds showed up and so we started, I was a Ranger, Shane was a paladin, though he didn't much act like one, Red XIII was the Dungeon Master, of course, and the other two guys, who's father we'd borrowed the little kit from, were a warrior with double handed weaponry (that came in handy despite his being annoying) and a... presit... err yeah... our character sketches were... odd... one looked like a helmeted warrior, while Shanes was South Parks Cartmen Holding a little sword and Shield, I drew my character with weapons in hand akira-toryama Manga style and put a patch over his eye... ARRR...
And so we were off! My luck in stats was... god awful... i couldnt roll anything in the teens, but no matter, I still had a long bow and a little spear, it proved worthless, the longbow didnt, and later I found a longbow +1, which did 1-4 lightening damage!
YAY!
Shane got a Fire sword, which he tested out on a squirrel which one of my misguided arrows had already done the job of injuring, he liked it and I'm not sure if he ate it afterwords, but my being a ranger I was not exactly happy >_<
The Dungeon Master.... was... quite kind actually... too kind in some aspects... but he was a rookie after alll, its not like we started fighting liches! though we did track over the tland of the undead, the map we drew was rediculouse, it had ONE town, two castles, a whole lotta dragon mountains, swamps, rivers, forest, a land of the undead and a lolly pop forest to boot!
Im glad we never quested over there! Just imagine the killer Gingerbrread men and Likorish Liches! AAAH!
anyhoo... I'd say that was down right FUN didley unn! I think i leveld up i had 2050exp in all so i was at least level 2, too bad i head to leave before we took ont he necromancer kiing, i did manage to nail a few goblins and skeletons though! all the while my arrows that missed were making quite the... iompression...
Once I fired and arrow and tripped, it went straight up, then a skeleton warrior did the same, our arrows colided and splintered up in the air, another time, the arrow bounced off of several cave walls and still managed to hurt and enemie with a critical 6! Orks were pretty tough and the enemy mages didnt get to cast any spells on us thanks to our dual-weaponed annoyance... anyway, all in-all id say that went well, aside from the guys dad walking in and asking us what we were doing! heh! We had to explain that "no we WERENT actually playing a video game for once we WERE playhing table top RPGs with HIS status sheets, HIS painted figurines and HIS papers, which we soon realized were ORIGINAL and not coppies @_@ eeerrr... He got the figurines to DEMI-GOD status too! EEEP!!! scarry scarry!
Anyhoo that all went well, I also got to see what a Cow run was...
...
...
God damn thats silly... But then again, Myth II had exploding deer, so i suppose Diablo II could have killer cows... >_>
AAAND to make this all that much more entertaining I have decided to INVENT my own Table Top RPG!!
You Ready for this?
What happens when you mix Sci FI with Feudal Japan and have it take place on a foreign planet that just happens to be man’s last hope for survival AND contains the most evil entity int he universe buried beneath its surface? You get Phantasy Star! And here’s my concept of how you can take any every-day AD&D Tabbletop Pen and Paper RPG and make it into a game totally unique in its style
Rules of engagement
The Rules are identical to that of an everyday Pen and Paper RPG, you make a character, make a map, set up some quests with the Dungeon Master (Principal) who sets up quests and rolls for all the monsters.
STATS
Just like in AD&D all you have to do is set up 14 for everything and distribute OR roll and hope to get lucky, The stats are:
Strenghte - Thats pretty self explanatory
Dexterity - So is that...
Constitution (HP) - In this game your constutution litterally IS your hit points
Intelligence - Needed to learn spells (androids have 0 on this stat and +14 can be distributed to any other stats they want
Wisdom - Magic power (once again this doesnt apply to ANDROIDS and they can distribute the 14 andywhere they want!
Charisma -Or Luck, allows you to hire henchmen (or Guards) and isnt that important
Heres an original one:
MAG - Now this isnt really a stat, its more of a thing which adds to stats, mags can be found as well as raised, traded, and bought. the DM (principal) desides what level each persons mag should be at the begining, the maximum level for a mag is 200. To raise a mag a potion must be used on it. ONe the potion is used the player can decide what stat they want increased by ONE level on it. Mags only affect 3 stats: Strength, Dexterity, and Wisdom. This means that Forces want high Wisdom mags so their Spells do more damage, Hunters want more power mags, and rangers want more dex. SO each time you use a potion your own stat goes up. Give up the mag and your stats go back to normal. SO if theDM is REAL REAL nice and says you find a mag with 200 mind, WOW your powerfull! Remember, its not bad to have a strong ranger or a hunter with alot of dex either.
REMEMBER mags are essential because they raise your stats without you leveling up. Treat your mag well and keep it well fed. (Oh and a mag with Wisdom stats does NOT help androids whatsoever)
The Characters To play as
The Dungeon Master
The DM in this game goes by the rank and title of
PRINCIPAL. The principal’s duty is to roll for the monsters, hire the hunters, ranger, and foreces, and have them act as his pawns in a total war against the dark!
Hunters (warriors) -They use Sabers, Swords, Partisans, and Daggers.
HuMar- Human Male Hunter +3 Strenghte and +1 To wisdom automatically, roll for the rest of the stats.
HuNewearl - Newman Female Hutner, +1 Strenghte +3 wisdom along with other stats.
HuCast - Android, no mind so +4 Strenghte and the intelligent and wisdom stats add to the other stats,
Rangers -They use Handguns, Rifles, Shotguns, Sabers, and Machineguns.
RAmar- Human Male Ranger, +3 Strenghte +1 wisdom
RaMarl- Human Female Ranger +2 Wisdom, +2 Strenghte
RaCast- Ranger Android - +4 Strenghte+ All inteligent and wisdom stats are added to other stats.
Forces (mages) - Canes, Rods, Wands, Handguns and Sabers
FoNewmen- MaleGenetically altered Newmen Force +4Wisdom Automatically.
FoMar-Male Normal Force +1 Wisdom +3 Dex
FoNewearl- Female Genetically Altered Newmen Force +4 Wisdom automatially.
That’s all really! Genetically altered Newmens have pointey Ears, humans are just humans, and Casts are androids (remember, in turn for magic they can be like 2 X as strong)
Attributes of the game
Weapons:
Saber - Single Attack Short Range (all classes)
Handgun - SIngle Attack Short Range (Rangers and Forces)
Cane- Single attack, short range, adds to Wisdom and intelligence acoording to what the DM (principal) applies. (force only)

MachineGun- Attacks Twice with long range (ranger only)
Partisan- Basic Spear (Hunter Only)
Note: Weapons Can have attirbutess added like +1 to +5 and can also be made into FIRE, ICE, LIGHTENING, and other elemental weapons. Just like how in AD&D you get a bow with +1-4 lightening damage, you can have a SHOCKrifle with +1-4 Lightening danmage [img]smile.gif[/img]
SPECIAL ITEMS
Special items can be used by anyone they cannot have stat atributed added to them because trhey automatically come with them. They are also useable by EVERY class
Maracas- Requires a dexterity of 30 +2-8 Lightening Damage attacks twice long range

Alive Aqhu Cadeceus - A wand that spreads feathers around and sheilds the team from enemy sight for 1 full turn. (has a charge time of 2 turns)
Ultimate Weaponry list:
The game is alot better without THESE but they do exist...
Heaven Punnisher - Ranger Only - Dex must be 50 - Does 8 roll damage equally to every enemy
SIckle of Soul devouring - Hunter Only - Expends half of ones HP and does 5 times the damage to all enemies - must have 50 Strenghte
The Sigh of a God - Spell book - Force only - eliminates Charge time and allows for spells to be cast 3 times in a row (With Something like grants thats alot of damage!)
I could put in a million or so weapons but im not going to...

Armor
As far as armor is concerned keep it at the same rules as before, rangers being able to use stealth, hutners having to sneak by, mages using types of invisibilty for evasion, while armor protection remains the same remember mags dont help add to armor so amror is completley untouched by these rules!
SOME armor that are unique to PSO rules
1: SENSE PLATE - Allows the bearer to see all traps ahead, the DM can’t lay down any suprise attacks without infoming them first...
2: CHU CHU FRAME - Its like having haste but its permanent
3: Electroshock Frame- It keeps androids from being Paralyzed by Electricity
4: State Maintence, Keeps the bearer from having stat damage done to them, including Dark FAlz Instant Death Technique roll.
THE MAP
Make it up yourself, the 4 environments for monsters are CAVES, MINES(for machines), FOREST, and RUINS (for the evil undead stuff)...

Cave Monsters

Shark - Has 35 Hp, Gives 400 Exp, can swipe
Nano Dragon - has 40 HP Can Fly to evade Melee attack, can also take HP from the player and double it for itself acoording to damage done. gives 450 EXP,
Pan Arms - Has 45 HP Attacks Two players at once doing equal Damage, counts as two seperate monsters and each counts as 250 EXP so all in all 500EXP
Boss- THE WORM- DeRoLe Has 200 Hp, gives 3000 exp, spits acid to paralyze, does melee attack damage, can evade by diving for 2 turns, just enough time to heal up.
Mines Robots and Machines (Zonde Freezes here)

Garnaz- Rocket launching weapons platform, attacks all players with fire damage ranging from a set 1-6 per player and nothing more. 65 hp, biggun, gives 800 exp!
VOl Opt - The crazy machine - 300 hp gives 4500 exp, rolls lightening damage to all players along with single player damage roll. (so he hits one guy and does a 1-4 roll that hurts everyone)
Ruins- The equivalent of Hell...
Claw 70 Hp, gives 700 exp all it can do is bite and regroup . If regroup is done it takes 4 turns and the dice is rolled 5 times in a row to do damage to a single player!
Canadine 75 Hp, gives 750 Exp, hack and slash melee guy, killed by any means.
Unholy Knight Templar, Sorceror of Chaos- 80 Hp, can heal himself, cast Rafoie, and RaZonde on his popnents.
Unholy Knight Templar, Bringer of Chaos- 85 Hp, Steals Wisdom points! Thats right! He up and takes them away with the damage rolled! This means androids don’t have to worry about him that much and should attack while the others stay back.
BELRA- 90 Hp, Mother of all Melee units, it does 2 times rolled damage as well as electric 1-4 and fire 1-4 with each attack!
DARK FALIS- Lord of Destruction, hellspawn of Profound darkness, and unleasher of BAD
Fadk Falz Stage 1: First he comes out in a team of 20 spinners, the spinners are made to damage the players as much as possible before he is sumoned, spinners have 25 hp each an 20 of them is kind of hard!d
Stage 2: He comes and sends Melee attacks, his Hp is 1000, so he’s not that hard, but he can do some killer damage to your team seeing as every attack he makes deals damage to all players.
Starge 3, Exactly like stage 2, except his Hp is 1500!
Stage 4, Optional Final Stage, Only SUPER rares can be obtained by challanging his last form btu it can be left at stage 3 being beaten for a small team. Dark Falz has 3000 hp, he can, at the begining of the fight, automatically pick one player and have them instantly killed, then he floats aroudn and gets damaged, every 3 turns played he automatically picks another player to instnatly die, if he is beaten, then all players who died during the fight are revived and exp is granted. The Exp is a whopping 9000 for surviving all fights and the DM MUST award at least 1 ultimate weapon to the group. Once Falz is defeated the game starts over again witht he bosses being beaten in order.
if the first time, the team refuses to fight FALZ last form, they must get to him and strenghten so that they can fight the last form again, if the teeam should fail on the second run the game starts all over again!
Ok So how much EXP is needed to level?
About 2000 per level will do nicely, nearing level 5 it increases to 3000, level 10 its 4000.
Once you level, your Stats increase by about 3 each, if you are an android strenghte and dexterity go up 6 each, Remember you have no inteligence or wisdom to raise.
Alright then that’s all you need to know to play, the rest is up to you to make up really!
wow what a waste of my time! If you ever wanna play it Red, just say so heh... I know you won't though! that's coo!
And here's a picture of an RaMar and an Racast...umm... sitting there
