JoeDios.com Forums - View Single Post - Wargaming with Gi Joes

Hey everyone I've just signed up for this site but I come here often to check out the latest dios or images. I must say a lot of your are doing some really cool stuff I only wish I could do the same but sadly my collection is seperated from me so looking at a lot of these images gives that warm fuzzy feeling inside. But anyway here's what I've been working on for the last 3 years, its a game with which to wargame joes. It's an RPG but you can use the rules to more of a wargame feature by eliminating some things in the game. A chracter would comprise of Attributes, Skills and Feats some which you might recognize from D&D or D20 Modern which is where I got a lot of my ideas. It's similar to D20 Modern except that I've extrapolated (if thats the right word) the rules so that they fit a physical environment rather then an imaginary one.
Now so far I've managed to type up most of the actual explanation for the rules but I'm still tweaking here and there. I did give out the original gave I invented before but I never did hear back from anyone if they were successful in launching it or not. This newer version is much more detailed and much more in depth then the last version as there's complicated night ops issues and vehicles are more defined and flexible for firepower, armour, etc. Also some skills allow you to make your own thing such as vehicles, weapons, explosives and just about everything in the game. I've also included a few Stargate weapons (cause I'm a fan) but i do have an extensive weapon list, though not to actual real life scale but close enough so each weapon has a variety of different strengths and weaknesses. My last game also had weak spy skills but this new game has a lot more highlights including weapon concealment and disguise skills.
I think I've ranted enough, if there is some interest for the game please let me know. I'm not sure how long it'll take me to finish hopefully it shouldn't be more than a week I've done most of the leg work but some small details still need to be done. Any questions, comments, suggestions and/or ideas let me know, who knows I might already have them.

I have finished the rules despite what the above says and you can get them at this website:
