Parallel Rifts RPG


Terrain
I will use Jungle World Terrain, and a 256x256 layout. The map will be split into two equal halfs. Detailed terrain will be made on one half, then copied to the other half (with some minor differences.) This will result in two exact halves. (This will be explained later.) The only differences between the two halves will be subtle doodad/terrain differences, such as collapsed canyons, or different statues/trees. On one side will be the nation of Shrael peopled with the warlike shraelings. This nation will include a capitol and 3 cities. On the other side will be the kingdom of Fyorne, occupied by noble humans. (1 capitol, 1 city, 3 fortresses.)
Story
While traveling between the first and second fortress, the Prince of Fyorne and his escort disappear. The King of Fyorne sends 5 (or maybe 4) of his finest guardsmen (ninja-like warriors) to track the prince down. These warriors are played by the human players in the map. When traveling between the two fortresses, the guardsmen find a mysterious rift and witness armies of shraeling warriors filing out in preparation to attack the first fortress. Soon the two kingdoms are joined in battle, and the guardsmen are given a more important mission: to enter one of the portals appearing throughout the land and find out what lays on the other side. From here; the story becomes intensely complicated so I will not continue.....

Overview
Basically this is a multi-player RPG involving two parallel universes, and a third universe which will not be revealed yet. Portals between two kingdoms appear and as a result, the two kingdoms engage in war. The king's guardsmen are sent "behind enemy lines" to learn more about the strange portals that are opening everywhere before both nations are destroyed. What the guardsmen find is shocking.....




I will begin work on this map whether feedback is positive or negative, but does anyone have any suggestions?

I like rpgs, theyre awesome. As long as its balanced and has a good plot, ill play it smile.gif Will you have lvl ups, or just get cash from killing?

Or maybe both? wink.gif

I was thinking both. Cash for kills is good because you can buy items or armor/damage. And there will definatly be HP leveling up. Also, I decided I'm going to use party experience system.

Maybe you should put players in a party...then use like a tbc system (time-based combat incase you didnt know tongue.gif ) Just like the FF series (Final Fantasy!!!) You gain party exp when you are victorious in a battle. That would be a great feature for your map

I would rather play this map if it wasn't tbc. Will there be spells?

Hey r[s]t I would love working with another experienced mapmaker, but I just have to go solo, it's my way.

And I will be adding spells, using the dropship system that this site has really showed me the value of. Thank you SEN!

Also I'm going to try to adress some interesting dimensional paradoxes in this map. (I'm very excited about this.)

Will there be different classes? What spells will there be. Describe them trigger wise.
