Alright, currently creating the stats engine for the RPG.
Thank god that 13th Age rules are OGL.
Since numbers and coding aren't that much fun to read about, let's try talking about the backgrounds and classes that will in the game.
However, I am just one person developing this, so I put the limit on those.
Please note I can't use any commercial product names because I don't like my ass getting sued.
Otherwise, feel free to crit and comment.
Backgrounds
The player will need to choose one for their avatar. Only one.
Conspiracy theorist
The world is a chaotic place filled with a variety of ideals, opinions, groups and people. Whenever it is for power, profit or other reasons, certain organizations wished to exert control over everyone from the shadows by manipulating others. That is what you believe and you have the facts to prove it. However, most people call you crazy and deluded because they simply can't imagine that some people can be this awful. But you know they can and so you stand as one of the very few sentinels of humanity.
Trained Skills:
Sense Motive, Knowledge (Religion)
Dudebro
While others called you a dudebro as an insult, you embraced it as a compliment. With your robust vocabulary of insults, you helped to make every multiplayer match "eventful". Others could do without your constant reminder of how many time you cuckolded their father in every single match though. Potato chips and energy drinks become your constant fuel as you pawn noobs online in day-long gaming sprees in the weekends.
Trained Skills:
Intimidate, Endurance
Glutton
Freak Factor probably got their show idea from watching you eat as a child. From all kinds of bugs to all kind of plants, you have been stuffing things inside your mouth for a long while now. As a survival mechanism, once your stomach realize it cannot run away from you, it can now dissolve almost everything. It is better not to tell others the reason why you are also so good in medicine.
Trained Skills:
Endurance, Heal
Keyboard Warrior
You still remember the day when you first visit that infamous imageboard. Where all the worst denizens of the internet have come out to play. When common sense is a luxury. You remember your first gore video vividly and have a dark understanding behind popular culture catch phrases and images. And after years of lurking and involving yourself in the culture, you honed your ability to bullshit others, not that you need much help in that regard in the first place.
Trained Skills:
Bluff, Knowledge (Internet)
Night Owl
Night is day and day is night for you. No one, including you, could remember when your lifestyle change and become like that. When most people are deep in lalaland at night, you are wide awake, engaging in ungodly activities. It is given that to accommodate that kind of lifestyle, you learnt to sneak around silently and perceive hidden furniture between you and your destination. Spies can only wish that they have your daily training.
Trained Skills:
Stealth, Perception
Survivalist
The forest is like a second home for you. You know it's every secret, inhabitants and what each passing season bring. To give yourself an edge in that kind of environment, you familiarize yourself with traps, firearms and explosives. Not your fault if books containing those information are illegal. Nor do you care. Urban hipsters may call you a hick but no one really give a damn about those attention whores anyway.
Trained Skills:
Perception, Knowledge (Nature)
Tabletop Nerd
Imagination is a thing to be treasured. As a small child, your relatives swooned as you run around the room trying to avoid the "lava" ground. As you grow up, the need for a perfect excuse to show off your "creative" imagination led you to the tabletop community. From leading a team of adventurers to commanding an army, you found yourself excelling in acting out whatever character you played in front of others.
Trained Skills:
Diplomacy, Perform
Wrestling Fan
"Stone Cock Stunner!" That's your favorite childhood catchphrase as you tried to break the necks of your classmates. As the years go by, you still follow up on the latest fights in the wrestling world. Sure, the fights are mostly faked with plenty of sound tech and spells. But you also understand that the risks the wrestlers take are all very real. Your passion translated into joining your local wrestling gym where you dream for the day when you will be on the biggest stage of them all.
Trained Skills:
Athletics, Perform
Classes
Also choose only one. Too much work to code and balance the multiclass elements. Start from the simplest(top) to play to the most complicated(bottom) to use.
Barbarian
An angsty person whose soul resonate PURE RAGE. Basket weavers need not apply.
Ranger
An ambidextrous bringer of pain. Most famous representative is an emo dark elf.
Paladin
Someone who really really like to smite evil. Use morality and all that jazz to justify their murderous intent.
Fighter
A master of combat, skilled in a lot of techniques to humiliate and crush the enemies. No wedgies techniques though. Damn.
Spirit User
A person who can manifest his spiritual essence into a being that granted him power. The ability to pose fabulously is optional.
Bard
Jack of all trades. Also someone who can fight and sing well. Actually, the latter part of the previous statement is bullshit.
Sorcerer
Crazy retard who think magic is a form of gunpowder that never run out. And more than happy to demonstrate that thought.
Wizard
One of the magic users who utilizes their abilities though dedication and hard work. Not to be confused with middle-aged virgins. Even if some of them are both.
