Redwall Table-Top RPG

[Thomas Barkshield]

I like them! Do you think we could have legendary weapons and armour, such as martins sword, tams claymore, badger lord armour, etc. BTW woodlanders are like rangers, with less fighting skills.

[WoodlandWarrior]

Hmm Kitrall you may be correct.  I guess I was thinking of their negative aspect to their charisma.  Much like Hares.  Both can be very charismatic but it can be taken as arrogance....I may change it...

Yes Thomas, things such as certain arms and armor will definitely be included!  They won't be magical in a D&D sense, but they would certainly have bonuses for craftsmanship or racial bonuses.   I'll get to that down the road...just trying to hammer out the basics right now.

I figured the Woodlander would function like a ranger.  A good archetype would be a squirrel woodlander....good with a bow, fleet of foot, and natural survivalist.

There can be all kinds of nifty prestige classes from Mariner, Swashbuckler, etc.

Will have more substantial notes to post shortly!:)

Edit-

I've been scribbling notes furiously as of late...instead of just mimicking D&D classes,
I was thinking of using classes as skills.  The mechanic is from a game system (BoL) that is quite impressive and easy to use.

Ok....

Step One:  Pick a Race

Step Two: Attributes
Mind
Strength
Agility
Appearance

You get 4 points to split up between them, no higher than 3 to start.

Step Three: Combat Abilities
Brawl
Melee
Ranged
Defense

You get 4 points to split up between them, no higher than 3 to start.

Step Four: Pick Careers

Pick four of the listed careers, split 4 points up between them, careers can start at 4.

Example.

Name: Quickpaw
Race:  Squirrel

Strength: 1
Agility: 2
Appearance: 1
Mind: 0

Brawl: 0
Melee: 0
Ranged: 3
Defense: 1

Careers:
Woodlander 2
Trickster  1
Minstrel 0
Craftsmen 1

So the career Trickster would be rolled with the appropriate attribute when needed.  Instead of having a ton of skills like move silently, hide, open locks, etc, trickster would cover all of them

I.e.
Move Silently = Trickster + Agility
Bluff = Trickster + Mind
Jumping = Trickster + Strength

Thoughts?

Sounds very good!

Sounds very good!

Cool, thanks.  Once I am feeling a bit better, I'll show more stuff.  I'm battling a nasty respiratory infection right now.

Good idea- the system sounds pretty simple and easy to use.

Conversely, a respiratory infection sounds awful. I hope it's nothing serious, and I'll keep you in my prayers.

You're welcome, and I'm glad you're getting better. (Last day of antibiotics is a good thing, right?)

'ello, I was just browsing about and saw that a table-top RPG was being worked on.  How's the progress on this going?

For fun, in my spare time, I wrote up a little Redwall game and called it Redwall - For Fur and Freedom.  Very leery of posting it anywhere, as I don't wish to break any copyright laws.

Sounds like you guys are really hammering out some of the details, though.  Enjoy!

Actually my brother found a table-top RPG called "The Sword of Martin". Look it up it was fan-made.

[Papaya_Pete]

Hmmm... that's interesting!  The fact that it's been around since 2008 or so gives me the impression that it's Ok to come out with a fan-made RPG then.  Or maybe it's different because it's not posted on the forums?

At any rate, I'd have to work out some more of the kinks and retest anyways.

I LOVE inventing video games, books, board games, and anything like that. But a redwall board game? Meh... Seems unlikely.A video game will be more likely.

[Papaya_Pete]

Ah when we say table-top game, we're actually talking about a pencil and paper role-playing game.  Think DnD, Pathfinder, Bureau 13, Mouseguard, etc.
