The CBG System (discussions)

[CYMRO]

Let's start with 10 points per round.
Movement for the one square per point spent.
Sound like a fair start?

Concur.

I fix things that aint broke!
Speaking of movement: metric?
Makes more sense to me.
I can draw a bed in two squares.
As opposed to using half-squares (all beds are five feet wide and ten feet long. you have five feet of table to yourself when you eat.)

I have religious convictions that are opposed to metric... :-p  ;)

Alright, then...
Howabout Cubits?

Ditto.

The Gods only support a sytem with hands, inches, knobs, feet, yards, leagues, drams, gills, pints, quarts, hides, ridings, etcetera..

How many points for an attack?

[beejazz]

Hmmm... Let's start with seven. It has to be a little more than half, and seven is a cooler number (and easier to remember) than six. Sound good?

Also a round should be five seconds. Fair? And measurement can be something made up, like "strides" which can be described as "between three and five feet"... eh? eh?

Seven is ideal.  


Strides...
Works.

[beejazz]

So... what other actions? Draw weapon (3 or 1). Spells (10, at least in my current system). The attack at the end of a charge (3). Reloading (same as drawing)... We could also slightly randomize. 1d10+X, where X is your agility or agility modifier. hell, we could even have a speed score (I know I was against a third dexterity, but this one's so *cute*)

Hey, just an idea here folks, do we want to establish "voters" for system decisions?  This may or may not be a bad idea.  I suggest that everyone who wants "voting rights" post sayign so.  Major decisions, i.e. stats, action(round?) points, decisions on other things to hange,e tc. should be by majority decision.  We can add new voters later on in the project, but I'd just like to establish who has a "say" int he discussion.  Right now, it looks like Golem, Beejazz, Silvercat, WitchHunt, CYMRO, Crit, Snakefing, and Pheonix Knight(?).  If I missed anyone who wants to be in on this, speak up now(or later), and if everyone thinks this is a bad idea, I'll drop it.  Just a thought.

I'm also in favor of points to spend in a round, although discussion pertaining to the exact number for which actions, and total per round should be saved for a more detailed and specific discussion, sound good?

I also think we should colectively decide how much of the rules, mechanics we want to change, what we want to add, remove, etc.  then we should make some sort of list of objectives, and then chip away at them until we have the system we all want.  Sound good to y'all?

I'll vore YES on that.

Two more wuick things I forgot to put int he last post.  We should inquire with Ishmayl about acquiring a nw sub-forum for the system we're building.

Also, I am against metric and "strides" in general.  The D&D measurements seem to work alright for that, so unless there are specific and reasonable complaints, I'd like to leave this alone.

@Nat: Hmmm... "voters" good, but discussion before voting.
Premise mechanics (Recharge time and recharge mana and actions per round) is something where we should have an idea *how* it should work. Like when I mentioned my "recharge" system, I had that formula... I could later change to d6es, and I really didn't go into what each level of spell should do or how many character points each level would cost. As for "how much to change"... this looks like a brand-spanking new system to me.

Five feet is too big. I consistently need half-squares for furniture.

[Numinous]

Then use half-squares!  Or perhaps make people use bigger or smaller furniture?  

I dunno, I'm just saying that we should establish voters for the point when consistently opposing views are presented.  Cool?
