D&D
Archmage recently ran a D&D campaign set in Gaera, and then decided to share his campaign with everyone else. The guidelines for making a D&D character in Gaera are:
- Starting level is 15th.
- Starting wealth is 250,000 gold.
- This template should be used for D&D character sheets.
Risus
MechanistoX ran an RP at the RP Bootcamp, to test his GMing, and used this system. The RPers were Kelne, pdRydia, Uncle Pervy, and for a limited time TheGreatNeverah (am I missing anyone...? It feels like I am...). The RP archive and the OOC thread were wiped out by The Great ezFluke of June 2005 and never restored--however, the RP was continued over at the main board, after being greatly enjoyed by all.
At any rate, Risus is a fairly simple system consisting of minimal stats and die rolls--good for spontaneous games or just someone who's looking for a light system. A basic character sheet is composed of a character description and a set of clichés; at GM's descretion, a hook and tale may also be added. See the Risus site for more information.
