The REAL Oddworld RPG

Is there any interest in a play-by-post game within a modified system?
Star Wars Saga Edition could be adapted to this really easily.
Any thoughts.

Okay, sample stuff for people familiar with Star Wars Saga Edition, can be found here...
http://www.scribd.com/doc/687978/Star-Wars-Saga-Edition
Here are some thoughts about the races, pretty much off the top of my head...
Mudokons are fast on their feet but slow on their brains and aren't much for personality. They are for the most part easily cowed or brassy and gaseous.
They're scrappy, perceptive individuals and thrive in nature but they are easily conned and thus often get taken into slavery but Glukkons.
Stats...
+2 Dexterity, -2 Charisma. Wiry and muscle packed, but a bit slow on the uptake and easily conned and intimidated.
Medium Size
Speed 8 Squares/ 40 feet and the Run feat for free.
Mudokens are one of the fastest species on Mudos and can really haul ass when they have to.
Sneaky S.O.B.s: A Mudoken gets Skill Focus(Stealth) for free and may use it as a trained skill even if it is not on their skill list.
Can't Keep a Gud Mud down: Mudokens get Survival as a trained skill even if it is not on their skill list. They may reroll Survival checks once but must take the second result, even if it is lower.
Mudokens make good Scouts and Scoundrels.

I just applied for a license.

Will I need a 20 sided dice?

Actually this looks quite interesting but wouldn't the classes be race dependent unlike that Star Wars thing? I can't see a Mudokon soldier class or a Slig slave class working.

I'm going to put up some sample characters up tomorrow and advertise it.
We'll see if we get any takers.

Hy in case you're interested... I once tried to kick up something like this when I just joined OWF... It was a looooong time ago, so I was noobish as hell. But I'm gonna post a link in case you're looking for inspiration or ideas

http://www.oddworldforums.net/showthread.php?t=8767

Is this anything like you imagined?

I'm, but I'm a bit confused about what it is you want to start, exactly

EDIT: Man.. this post makes me miss the Main RP forums, that never got finished =( I wish they weren't deleted.

Coffin Nails...
You are an up-and-coming member of the Coffin Nails, an extortion, slaving, and extermination outfit working on behalf of the glukkon Molukk.
Molluk received a terrible vision of a mudoken destroying his meat packing factory and turning into a terrifying beast, killing many of his associates in the process.
You are charged with the case that will make or break you...
The Vision Quest.
Its your job to hunt down this mudoken of destiny and wipe him out before he takes down the factory and charismatically leads a worker rebellion that treatens to topple Glukkon society.
I'm thinking of putting up a different, easier system on scribd that only requires a d20 that can be used on online dice rollers and putting up sample characters.
Will happen TODAY!

He who cheats on a test cheats only on himself. For the true internet geek this is heresy.

T-nex, the two sub-forums were merged into a sole temporary sub-forum. It's still sitting underneath RPG, and I've given you special access. It should now appear for you forum-wide (forumhome, forumdisplay, forumjump, etc) but if not, you can access it by following this link.

Hopefully you'll be able to use the contents of the threads in there to further aid.

Wow... O.o.. Way to be quick on the button. I thought you had them deleted from being too inactive.

I wasn't really prepared for this, lol. But I'll gladly start working on it again. Guess I'll have to revamp it a little though. ^^

Thanks Alcar!

Edit: There is a slight problem though... I can't edit the posts, which makes it a problem, as I really need to revamp these threads. Anything that can be done about this?

EDIT (Alcar): Taken care of

Interesting, I've been nursing the idea of a stats-based Oddworld RPG for some time, but I hadn't thought of a way to implement it.

There are shop hacks and stuff.. But I think i remember Alcar being against shop hacks.

If I'm wrong though, it would be a cool bonus for the RPG forums. I'm sure I could come up with a nice way to use it.

We're going to go d6 fantasy for this. And don't worry, I've done my homework and will help all you crazy bastiches through the creation process and do some sample stuff so you know whats up.
Its just SWSE is my new addiction and I've got Farsi homework up the ass and I've to prep for a d20 gestalt game this weekend.
Lots on my plate.
Put in a concept here if you want in.
RARR!
Roll 'em up!
Edit:Places to roll...
d20srd.org has a pretty nice application called the Dice Bag.
www.irony.com/igroll.html also works, too.
Others as you suggest and I deem worthy.
