It should be a RPG that may also be a wargame. Or easily adaptable to either one. It should also be a simple mechanic to resolve issues. One must be able to create different armies/races.
I decided upon WarEnigine by Aaron Overton.
This is a wargame but on the Yahoo Group there was a basic for an RPG. Which our group will expond upon.
For Space Combat, I have Full Thrust - by Jon M. Tuffley. It is a generic system where you may create your own ships and it uses d6. Simple and must of all FUN!
To Hit:
Weapon Proficiency + Dexterity VS Physical Defense
To Damage in Melee: Attack Value + Strength VS Physical Defense
To Damage with thrown weapon: Attack Value + Strength VS Physical Defense
To Damage in Ranged Combat Attack Value VS Physical Defense
Defense:
Physical Defense = Armor + Constitution
Magical/Menta Psychic Defense = Armor + Mental
RE uses a system where you roll a number of d6 and keep a number of d6; reading the total of the kept dice. For example: 3k2 is roll 3 d6 and keep the highest 2 scores. Compare that agianst the opponents roll.
The Skills test is used to determine success as with most RPGs. It is a VS' dice roll when agianst an opponent. Most skill rolls that isn't agianst an opponent will typically be a target number.Which the roll most equal or exceed the target number to succeed.
