Hey guys, I know sci-fi isn't really that popular in here, but I've had an idea for a group RP and I have an idea I'd love to pitch, if any of you are interested. We only need about 3 people, though I think I could accommodate for for around 4 or 5.
The setting is a sci-fi where humanity shares the galaxy with about 4-5 other races, but after wars and conflicts, they each mostly keep to themselves in their different corners. Obviously, the story will be taking place in human space. The characters would all play as mercenaries, although if you can think of a reason why your character would take a mercenary mission, you're welcome to have a different profession. My idea is to have an actual RP system, wherein you get a certain number of points, which you get to separate within a number of standard character stats (I'm thinking literally only DEX, STR and INT), and also a number of flex points, which you can use to place into your character's abilities. I'm considering giving 10 points each, which you can place into literally any kind of ability you may come up with yourself. Combat will be dice-based, wherein you can add your ability score to your dice roll to see if it is successful. I plan for the story to take part in several arcs and at the end of each one all the characters would get flex points to put into their abilities or design new ones. There would also be a progression, wherein your characters will have a basic income based on their stories and each missing would net you a profit (spread however you agree), which could be used on in-game stuff, like new guns and such. As for classes, I don't plan on there being any classes, seeing as you can design your character's abilities, but please be aware that psyonic power is a thing in this setting, albeit incredibly rare, so if you wanted to roll with that, you could. I'd ask the players to have a backstory for their characters which, upon approval, will also tie into (and help me with) the worldbuilding of the setting.
So, if there are any takers let me know.
