Well now you can. The game is called RPoL Reality Survivor and is based off of another game on the net called Survivor X. It 'IS' a ROLEPLAYING game. 16 players are needed for the game. There is a weather system, skills, statistics and many opportunities to obliterate the egos of your friends and enemies. Set in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada, this is no mere swimsuit competition, it is a game of survival AND Survivor. Each Player will have a Set of SKILLS & STATISTICS with which to play the game. It it a REALITY game, not some kind of Q&A session! Your Character will use his or her Stats and Skills to win the game... see below.

Throughout Rpol Survivor, you will have to manage these statistics. All act like Hit Points, a term familiar to those who've played lots of RPGs. For those who haven't, I'll explain. Each of the 10 statistics has a MAXIMUM and a CURRENT value, expressed like this: CURRENT/MAXIMUM. When you start playing Rpol Survivor, you have 300 points to distribute among these 10 values as you choose, to a maximum of 50 and a minimum of 15 on one value. Your distribution will be the MAXIMUM value. So if you distribute 25 to Agility, your Agility stat will look like this: 25/25. Throughout the came, the CURRENT value will steadily drop, due to random rolls, or events that transpire. If I roll on the Hazard Table, and get an "Agility-2" for your character, your Agility now looks like htis: 23/25. It is important to manage your character and your moves to keep these stats up. Bad things happen when they reach 0. Below is a description of each Statistic, and what happens if it reaches 0. Every game day, the characters must submit 3 moves to the host. These moves can be any number of things from Fishing, to Building Shelter, to Exploring, to Resting, or whatever they can think of. It is the Host's job to deal with the effects of these moves. Cooking requires a move, but Bathing and Eating does not. Should the player neglect to submit moves, all 3 moves count as that player Resting. Should the player loose a move or more, they lose the last on the list. Each player should rank their moves, so that they will know which ones are lost if they do loose a move. Have a look, I think you will like what you see! [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
