Wotmaniac's whakcy heartbreaker
« on: February 07, 2012, 11:36:35 AM »
Please rip this to shreds in the most constructive way possible.
*(note: if you don't like dice pool mechanics, then you're probably not gonna like this -- can't please everybody)*

I've been hammering away on my own attempt at game design.  And I'm ready to throw myself to the wolves -- just make sure to be specific in your criticism, if you please.
At the moment, I'm mainly concerned with just the resolution mechanic; but am happy to discuss other areas (though, be forewarned -- this is all still in the basic R&D phase, so I'm not sure how detailed I'll be able to be)

Well, HERE's an alpha-prototype of the proposed character sheet (I still have to finish up the margin info; but that's dependent upon finishing the product), to help give a visual off what I'm talking about.
The game is meant to revolve around "action/horror", with the PCs filling the role of "Action Survivor" (eventually leveling up to "Badass").

Oh, and this uses exclusively d12s.  Why?  Because I like them, and feel that they don't get enough love in RPGs.

Okay, so on to it .... here's how it works: (spoilered for space)

So, there you go.  Let me have it.

Thanks.

EDIT: changed explanation on how the #s are read.   also corrected defense info.

I realized that some of this was left unintentionally vague -- since I'm feeling a little lazy and don't want to repost everything, HERE's an update for some clarification.
