Its great to see all the interest and th great ideas that have been posted on this thread. I am going to try and tackle a homebrew character creation format as a start for me trying this at my local club. My thoughts so far are:-
1- Players would play a minion
2- they would 1st choose a faction.
3- then choose a kind of "class" but I havn't worked this out in my head yet :-)
4- I am thinking of some form of "points cost" based system for stats allocation
5- Spells etc available would be linked to the faction chosen
I think that enough to be going on with, Please let me know If I am overstepping the mark here I would hate to be stepping on anyones toes ay wyrd :-)
Oh and just a thought, if and when wyrd do get around to writing an rpg how about a beta test aka Pathfinder from Paizo, I think that worked great...
