Weapons, Triangles, Etc.



So you're probably asking: Why is there a picture of a pepper? I like peppers.. and spicy foods. And I've discovered that starting a post with a picture just looks way more sexy.

So not much of a Friday update. Just listing down some ideas I had throughout the day concerning a few things: The theme of the RPG, and weapon triangle-thingies. :)

Now for the RPG theme (like fantasy, futuristic, yada-yada), I'm really thinking sort of a mocking RPG. Sorta like Earthbound, mixed with a card game called Munchkin, with a little sprinkle of Maplestory. The basic idea is to sort of mock the really hardcore RPGs. Weapons would range from swords, to brooms, to Elven-made Baseball Bats of Luck and Good Looks. Nothings final. Just sorta pondering the whole scheme of things.

Which brings me to my next point: Weapon triangles!

So basically what I have is the weapon triangle from Fire Emblem. We can see that Sword > Axe, Axe > Lance, Lance > Sword. I want to have the same idea... just trying to figure out how.

I want to try to have 4 or 5 weapon classifications, each having its advantages and disadvantages.
Heavy (Such as Mauls, Sledge hammers, Logs, Maces)
Quick (Daggers, Pocketknives, Scissors, Box cutters, Broken Wine Glasses?)
Standard (Swords, Axes, Frying Pans, Baseball bats, Wrenches, Pipes)
Long (Spears, Pool Sticks, Flags, Basketball Hoops [what?])

You get the idea :)
Random ponderings. Gotta love 'em!
