RolePlaying System
contingencyplan:
Well, here's my question: What will we be using this system for? Not for hit / miss stuff, since that's determined by the Player's skill and his / her character's attributes (stamina, accuracy, etc). I don't think we'll be rolling a d20 every time someone fires their gun - especially if they're using an automatic weapon (imagine the vast number of calculations required!). So what *will* we be using this system for?
Caenus:
Good question. Oh and morgul, if you want 2D art for anything . . . lemme know.
Morgul:
OK, let me explain a bit. This system will helps us figure out how character creation goes, and then based on that, it will give us the rules for how an action gets performed. Rolling a die every time a bullet fires is stupid, you're right, contingencyplan. Actually, rolling a die, even a perverbial one, is kinda retarded in a computer. There are other sources of randomness, and other ways of appearing to be random with a computer. I'd like to explore those a bit.
Now, the main thing I want to focus on is the basic "What goes into a character" part of a system, because I believe everythign else should be built around that. Maybe tofday after my tests, I'll get around to outlining a system.

Ok...below I have come up with a fairly simple diagram of character creation...is this basically how you are thinking of doing it?:
1) User opens application [Precursors] and selects "Create New Character"
2) Browser window with character creation page comes up {coded in PHP or something else depending on Morgul or Whitelynx's preferences....}
3) Character creation by user begins {Below I have listed only two customizations to use as an example}:
(EXAMPLE 1:)
I- Select Name; Select Gender:
-IF gender = "male":
II-select faction {terran, league, coalition}:
---IF faction = "terran"
III- Select descent {asian, european, american, or african}
/// IF descent = "European":
IV- Eye color, hair color, etc....
(EXAMPLE 2:)
I- Select Name; Select Gender:
-IF gender = "female":
II-select faction
---IF faction = "coalition":
III-Select descent
/// IF descent = "Asian"
IV- Eye color, hair color, etc....
