Forums → Forum Games → Into The Forest: Another Survival RPG

Hello, everyone. Due to the 'success' of my first RPG, The Day, I am starting another RPG, called Into The Forest. This game also has a survival theme to it (Survival, not zombie).

Note: Lots of scrolling and reading to do.

Story:
Bright sunlight blinds you as you open your eyes. You and your three friends have arrived at the camp site where you will spend the next four days relaxing from the busy city life. "Come on, let's get to it!" Your friend says.

Although there is a camp site reserved for families and those who are not so
much 'outdoorsy', one of your friends had the idea to avoid the campsite entirely, instead to camp deep inside the interior of the forest, to have the feel of a true camper. And to get his Camping Merit Badge.

As you sling various bags onto your back, you hear a park ranger talking to one of your friends. "Should be careful going out deep. There have been an
increase of bear attacks the past couple o' months." Your friend shrugs. "Aw, papps, what's to worry when you've got this?" he says, holding a rifle.
The ranger grunts. "Unless you've got a permit for that, son, you should leave that in the car." He then walks back towards the station.

"Okay," your friend begins. "Let's go!" He takes the gun with him. "Say, Barry," one of your friends say. "Aren't you supposed to leave that behind?"
"Who cares about what some old ranger says?" Barry scoffs.

The site where one of your friends wants to stay at takes several hours to walk to. By then, it is almost dark. Your friend John is in charge of dinner.
"Here," John says, tossing some steaming Hot Pockets towards the rest of the group. "Dinner." You eat dinner, and soon, you start to feel sleepy.
Barry approaches you. "Hey," he grunts. "You look pretty strong. Why don't you keep watch for us?" He hands you the rifle. "Oh, the ammo's also in there, too."

This game shall be fairly realistic. Here is how the game will be run:

Enemy System

Here is a list of potential enemies and the amount of health points that they have. (Injured enemies have 20% less health than normal.)

Bears (100 HP, 80 HP when injured)
Rabid Squirrels (50 HP, 40 HP when injured)
Poachers (150 HP, 120 HP when injured)

Health and DP System

Health and DP system goes hand in hand. In the beginning of the
game, you start out with 100 HP (Health Points). Damage points (DP)
works the same way as health points. If you receive 3 DP, you lose 3
HP. If you deal 20 DP towards an enemy, the enemy will lose 20 DP.

If you lose all your HP, that will equal death. When you die, the game restarts.

Experience (XP) System

The XP system works as follows:

1 Level = 200 XP
Battle with an enemy: +5 XP
Winning a battle: + 30 XP
Losing a battle: -30 XP
Boss battle: +10 XP
Winning boss battle: +60 XP
Losing boss battle: -60 XP

Community Rules also apply.

II. Be fair to the other players.
This pertains to Rule I.

III. Don't kill other player's characters.
Just don't, and if you do, I will kick you out of this RPG
