Creepers and Caverns (based on DnD 4.0)

Hey all this is Mel, I've been playing DnD for a while, mostly 3.5 4.0 and pathfinder. And I've really enjoyed those games. But as a lot of us my mind likes to alter, create and do its own thing. I of course try to guide it as it does this. One of my favorite video games is Minecraft, just like DnD is it many possibility's for entertainment and creativity. Venturing forth like the guy who combined Jam and Peanut butter, I've decided to try and mix these to two games together. And hence Creepers and Craverns. Now those familiar with DnD 4.0 i will say I've had to make some alterations, and so there is some room for error and things to be changed. Those familiar with Minecraft i must say it will be different than just playing a video game on a computer. Those not familiar with it don't worry I'll explain as we get into in. Now with Minecraft each time you start a new game it "generates" a world and as such i have come up with "world sheets" and have a system to generate (using dice) your different Biomes and sub sections of the world you will enter. In Minecraft you start in this world with nothing, you must chop down trees, dig up stone, mine out veins, plant crops, build house, create potions, build tools, craft armor and so much more to survive. (and much more.) The point of the this session will be mostly play testing, making sure the mechanics work right, the stats are fair and just your basic tweaking. But for the characters their goal is 3 fold: 1: Survive, build tools, armor, and shelter. 2: Expand, explore, get resources possible find an NPC village or temple. 3: Exterminate, go to the NETHER (hell), and go to the END (final boss) I have most the rules in a Google Powerpoint, and its kinda messy, but i'll still keep on cleaning it up. Post here or message me if your interested, have a question, or comment.

Sounds interesting, I'd like to try it EDIT: Can you post a link for the Google PP so I can read up on how the system works?
im currently transfering it to a word document give me a day or 2 and i'll have it to look at, still doing powers for the classes. Ill try to get the classes done soon. p.s. what class were you thinking on. Or rather what do you want to specialise in?
I still have a lot to do, some tweaking with the biome generator. I have to do the powers with most the class but at least you can get some generalization. so here is some. <a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B09Gb89JVIZvbk5ocGtldDF1X1k" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B09Gb89JVIZvbk5ocGtldDF1X1k</a> (old one, check 1st post for updated one)
Bump
Well Trevor im still working on stuff, got most stuff done or at least all Lvl 1 stuff, But it looks like your the only 1 interested, would you still be interested in soloing, or i could even run along side you with a character?
Haha, I'd be interested in either, though I actually might be able to get one of my friends to join (kevin from your 4E campaign, btw I had questions about the journals you wanted, so can you get on skype?)
I'm with Trevor. This sounds interesting and I'd love to try it out.
Ill try to get on tomorrow im at my g/fs house, just been on her computer. But just got my new schelude and looks like they are putting me on some nights and stuff, just let me know what times are free fro you guys in the week and i'll set somthing up for CnC. The hard thing about most the rules is that that they are all up in my head, i just need to get them down on paper, which is harder than it sounds.
Ok we'll im on skype for the next couple of hours (might take a nap before i got to work though) but i'll need to know what days you guys have open because with y schedule change i wont be able to do it wednesday night, possible wednesday middle of day. But it might be a variable weekly thing.
