Two ideas for RPGs to be written in Javascript/PHP/MySQL...
1. Adventurers of Ithrala
Set in the world of Raiders and Traders - literally. The players will go between the cities of R&T players, with different opportunities and problems to solve in each city based on what the city's owners are doing. Explore muddy villages and large cities, military repression and liberal low-tax governments, all created by real people! Quite a bit of hack-and-slash involved in a classic RPG style, but very much text-based button-pressing in style.
2. Esther's House
Teddybears versus toy soldiers, fighing over a deserted mansion. An idiosyncratic and very satirical dystopia of an RPG, this would certainly be wierd but definitely fun. Therw ouldn't be too many players, because players could only join as fast as the current players could gather materials (tin cans, kapok, fabric, needles, and so on) to create new bodies for their bear/soldier compatriots, this being the main aim of the game. It would work well as I could slowly expand the house room by room, allowing new locations to be added quite simply. A big focus on team play in this, some players would be the classic hack-and-slash archetypes of healers, fighters or tanks but others would need to be crafters and foragers through the different rules.
Any thoughts on either of these?
