Hey, remember this? I have still been working on the game system, but ran headfirst into a problem with one of the starting assumptions, namely with the Endurance trait serving as your health points.
I had been figuring it would go something like your standard tabletop game where 0 equals unconsciousness and -X where X is your full-health total is dead, but what about the ladybug perching on my finger, perfectly happy at -15 or so END? What about Coleoptera Man, who realized it was actually a Neo-Nazi mini-robot (the swastikas replacing spots on its wing cases gave it away) and shrinks down to attack it with his now -13- STR, when it comes time to apply the damage?
Game design is hard.
P.S. Yes, that is a request for ideas, if anyone has something to suggest.
