turn based rpg systems?

If I wanted to do an RPG, what is the best system to use in SL? It would need to be customizable for different genres.

Thanks!

first let me say that i hate it when people post what i amgoing to post but i really want the information.


can you be a bit more spicific about what your looking for?

you mean like the old school paper and pen RP or something else entirely ?

Mechanically I mean it would be like WoW or NWN or pen and paper where actions are handled in a turn based fashion rather than arcade style, where the player has to aim and fire as in games like Doom.

Unlike WoW or DnD there would be no levels or classes per se, your characters progress by increasing their skills instead.

From what i know there arent any current preset systems out there for turn based games, u would most likeley have to find a scripter and have it custom made. <inserts own advertisement for scripting here> XD

the main reason being if u plan on saving stats ur gona need a database some where to store the data and retrive it because LSL scripts are unreliable at saving alot of data.

Thanks Daten, I will keep you in mind if I find I can not script it myself

There are methods set up to send messages into SL from a central web based program (XML-RPC) but due to undocumented delays introduced to combat griefing they have been rendered unusable. The instead of a second or two they are running random delays, sometimes over a minute which has ruined some of my projects.

If you are a land owner, please vote on this issue at https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/MISC-686 so we can get some sanity back.

Yep looking for the same myself and eventually may have to make it myself when I get motivated enough and learn to do more than basic script. If a scripter could write it for me they might as well just sell it. something with basic combat skills that is all based on character sheets and run by a GM HUD perhaps who awards XP to the players in session. Characters could use/wear any weapon armour they liked by the GM putting it's stats into the character sheet, and just use it in safe modes or not pull the trigger.

I have started working on it, should be ready in about 6 months, I hope.

You can program dcs2 to have any races, powers, and classes. You can do this NOW by going to www.dcs2.org and have your rpg game up and running the same day at no cost to you.

i have been planning on doing a turn based combat system myself for ages now. i have a very very preliminary version, and i have alot of ideas how i'll make it work, but there's alot of concept/rules i need to come up with to make it happen. i've got the scripting ability though, so hit me up if you have ideas or wanna collaborate or anything ^^

Thanks Fa, I may do that, as my time in sl is a bit limited right now due to RL stuff, teaming up may be the way to go

DCS isn't turn based or character sheets able to be set by the GM
