Inspired by Spiderweb Software style RPG's and building on the Dead Simple RPG rules, I have been working on an RPG with a focus on story and meaningful combat as opposed to the big numbers of grinding and loot gathering. The game is not procedurally genereated but is intended to be fully moddable from plain text data files.
Features currently include a working (almost complete) combat system, graphical tile set, and a test map with a number of challenging (and sometimes not so challenging) encounters as placeholders.
Still to come is the magic and religion systems, so there might be less utility in playing a sorcerer or priest at this early stage beyond the aesthetic. There is also a great deal to be done with the game's plot which has deliberately been omitted from this release which is intended to be a demonstration of the game's look and feel, and its combat.
