Ok ProM. I've decided to kill some free time I have by coding a text RPG in Visual Basic. I'm posting this topic for people to toss ideas at me. Anything is an acceptable idea, as long as I believe it is within my coding ability. I'm going to say this now though: Don't expect anything ground breaking here. I'm doing this mostly to keep myself coding, as after graduating, I haven't done much while job searching.

I do plan on having some kind of story, but I don't have much right now. Again, feel free to toss ideas and thoughts at me here. Alright, so far the basic cliche is this: You are a starting adventurer in the town of Arden Falls. You accept quests from people, maybe from a guild of sorts, or maybe just posted in town somewhere, I haven't decided yet. There is a war going on, and with a lack of soldiers and guards, monsters have gotten to be more a problem recently. Adventurer's like you are taking advantage of that.

Class ideas: Fighter, Thief, Cleric, WIZARD!!!, Monk, possibly Psychokinesis Specialst?

Quest types: Fetch quests, monster hunting(most common), escort missions.

To Do:
~Character creation : 55%
~Saving mechanic.
~Monster ideas.
~Weapon ideas.
~Armor ideas.
~Fucking Plot.
~Pretty much everything.

Finished:
~Jack Shit.

Being able to temporarily create or brainwash monsters into helping you fight.

Monsters themselves, fairly generic: Dragons, Orcs/Trolls, Gremlins, Witches/Evil Wizards (Probably more enemies than monsters but eh), and giant sharks with lasers attached to their fricken heads.

Weapons: Swords - Long Swords, Short Swords, Daggers, Mace, Arrows, Spears, spells - elements - fire, ice, water, electric, dark, perhaps poison or brainwashing spells as well. Upgrading or replacing them incrementally as you level up or progress through the story since its an RPG.

Armour: Shield - Wood, Metal, Magic, Helmet, and perhaps gloves/shoes but I'm not so sure about that.

The protagonist should have an axe for a head.

Later....MUCH later. Thats an idea I've had for a while, but it's not at the forefront right now. As for the weapons and spells, I did get a few ideas from what you posted OhJoy. Thanks. Axe face may be an option as well. Cmon guys, keep tossing ideas at me.
