Arm Yourself!

There's combat now! Well, in a manner of speaking.

If you create a character at DrupalRPG.org, you can also try to hit other characters. Nothing beyond notifications of hit or miss really happen right now. But you can pick up wiffle bats you might see lying around. Or even experiment with making your own.

NOTE: In the last message, I mislead you. When creating the PC, you have to insert your UID for the PC value, not the number 1. Again, make sure to give yourself a location too, or you'll be in limbo.

You can certainly game the system (such as it is right now). For instance, there are fields for attack and defend skills, which are pretty generic. Soon, that will be out of the realm of character creation, or at least not without using character points or something.

Here's a screenshot (click for full view), where you can also see a hint of some fancy jquery in the right sidebar:

As the system matures, I'll probably wipe out game objects a few times, so don't get attached to your characters yet. Also, this is just a demo site anyway, so won't ever really be meant for anything serious.

Soon, however, I'll begin work again at Spindowners, and hopefully when the system is stable, other people will work on their own RPG's. DrupalRPG.org can become a hub to find other Drupal powered games in the future.

I'll keep you guys posted!
