The DM RPG Engine?
Posted: Sat Apr 06, 2002 3:00 pm
Hi,
One question I can't find answered in the FAQ is has anybody broken up an explained the RPG engine of DM? As a non-traditional-rpg'er, I find all the stats a little confusing. I understand how the likes of weight restrictions and strengths can affect movement or the weildinging of heavy items. But I would have liked to have seen a DM specific pseudo code example of how the stats variables affect various actions or combat. Even somesort of tree diagram showing the dependency of certain actions on certain attributes would be useful. How does time affect these attributes?
This may work out to be more of a wish list than an info request at the end of the day as I don't think there is a short explanation for this side of DM.
Cheers,
Ian
