Strategic Forum Board Game in the works.
NO, REALLY CANCELLED THIS TIME.
Note: I just want to gauge how many people would be interested in this game. I haven't fully fleshed it out quite yet but if you like what you see here and want to play then please post saying you'll participate.
Okay, I've actually made this game before on a different forum and it worked with moderate success (Wasn't many people playing). It's a very basic strategy game that has you take control of a single character on a grid board. If you have played game like Advance Wars or Fire Emblem then this game will feel right at home.

Well this is a long read now but if you're interested in this kind of thing, then I urge you to read whatever you can but you really don't have to read all of it. The way I explain it may sound rather complex but at it's heart it's really simple, trust me.
Signing up
Okay, so the game begins with the player signing up. When you sign up, you'll need to enlist in one of two parties taking place in a war with eachother. There will be a story of sorts to follow between "missions" and you guys play the characters in it. Your actions in the game will affect the plot.nIf the parties are looking unbalanced, then you will be placed into the party with less people. After you have selected your allegiance, you'll need to give a physical description of your character so I can create an icon for you. You can also add a back story for your character if you wish which will be added to your profile but it's not mandatory.
Missions and Actions
Each game will take place in "missions" where the two teams will battle it out (we'll call them red and blue team for now). You can take two actions for your character once per day by simply posting what actions you wish to take on the thread. These actions will range from:
- Moving a certain amount of spaces on the board.
- Using an item.
- Interacting with scenery.
- Attacking a foe.
- Talking with NPC's
- Trading items with your team
If you choose not to post on a particular day, I will automatically set your character on the defensive position and should you be attacked, you will take less damage than usual.
Each mission's objective will be different for each team. Team blue may have the objective of "Protect Freddy for 20 days" and team red may have "Kill Freddy within 20 days". Before each game starts, I'll give out the story and objectives involved with each mission.
Battles
The heart of the game lies with battles. These will decide the outcomes of the missions. To engage an enemy in battle, you'll need to be standing an appropriate amount of spaces away from them. For example, if you're attacking with your fists you will need to be a single space away from the enemy, but if you have a gun then you can be up to 5 spaces away.
The more you fight, the more experienced your character becomes and the more their stats increase. Just like an RPG. These stats will be your basic HP, Attack power, defense etc. There may be some more unconventional ones too but I'll talk about that another time.
Your characters equipment will also play a role in battles. To keep things simple, your character will just have two different forms of equipment. "Weapon" and "Body". Weapons will determine the damage, range etc. if your attack and your "Body" will determine your defense and other characteristics. Between each mission you'll be able to see the results of the previous mission, read the story and objectives behind the upcoming one and stock up on new items and equipment.
Right, I think that's all the explaining I can do for now. If I can get enough people interested then I'll happily start this up (I'd say we'd need at between 6-10 people at least). If you have any questions/suggestions then feel free to post them here or PM me.
