So I have been attempting to create a tabletop gaming system.

As some of you may have seen on my girlfriend's blog (Linked on the side under "Maybe I'm Depressed") I am currently designing a game system. This is completely a solo project thus far as it is concerned with number crunch and setting. Lillae has done some "fluff", or role playing work on the system.

The system is called  "Wavermoth". This system will allow for the creation of literally ANY character concept you wish. Do you want to play a character who sneaks around using  bladed rings to deliver toxins to unsuspecting victims, and when she is caught deploys a magically powered, mechanized. miniature eagle with bladed wings to distract her foes, while she uses tiny bombs that create a blinding flash to flee?

How about a character that follows a goddess of light who can channel the essence of pure light into his weapon to create a flameless torch, that when striking his foes causes severe burns?

How about a character who uses the force of his own body as a force that causes the weapons he throws to return to him?

How about a character who never fights direct combat and instead leads his foes through a series of increasingly complicated traps and snares?

All of these character concepts are completable at the very start, the first and most fleshed out of which is one my girlfriend has created for the specific purpose of pushing the limits of creativity with a fresh unmodified character.

If this concept intrigues you please post in the comments below.
