Another Interest Check for My Elements RPG That I Mentioned a While Ago

I've made enough progress on the main mechanic that I want to test that I can probably set it up with some generic enemies and a simple post ID based RNG to make a reasonably playable forum game.

Here's the spreadsheet that I used to create the system of how stats will interact with each other so y'all can play around with it. Download the file, open it in your favorite spreadsheet program, and input values into the Base Stats section. Then look at the "Affinity" and "Weakness" sections to see how that affected everything.

So who wants in? I'll make a thread in The Playground if 4 or more people are interested.

 

Here's the first thread where I didn't say much about it other than that I had a cool mechanic that I wanted to test out.

Here's the second thread that didn't get any attention, but has way more details that have stayed mostly the same since then.

I've also decided that the "story" of our trial run will just be an excuse plot where you and your party try to save a princess from some evil dude. I'll make up the rest as we go. Since this is mainly a trial run for my interacting elemental stats mechanic, the RNG will probably be VERY biased toward random encounters with enemies who are very easy to beat until late in the game where y'all'll be at high enough levels that you can test out how specialized each of your characters as become. For the same reason, it'll also be pretty easy to level up at first, but that's just par for the course in RPGs anyway.

I also noticed that the way I set things up had the unintended but very nice side effect of making the game reward specializing your character rather than keep him or her super balanced. Keep that in mind if this game gets anywhere.

 

Great! I may just end up making the thread for you and then hope others join in. I really think that it has potential and it would be a shame to not try it out as soon as possible.
