It's whole micro-RPG system with special rules, with theme, setting, background story that will unfold
with time not some PvP event where you can spawn a few outfitters and let players kill each other.

I decided to do everything (that isn't spoiler) in the open so you will be able to follow the progress. I did it,
because I need feedback and ideas from people who would like to participate. Also when I start it I want
everyone (also people who won't participate) to be ready not ask "wut is dat?" or rage about abuse.

So what this microrpgsystem is about? The Hub? As far as i remember there was something in Hub 2 years ago. I can describe it as annoying izual walking everywhere with his abused powers. It sucked balls and it failed. Why that new project will work?

Limiting freedom of speech is going to be difficult.

Limiting freedom of speech is going to be difficult.

What freedom of speech? I don't understand. You will be able to say anything as long as it's not out-of-context.
OOC things can be said on forum. So where is the limit?

You must understand that it will be a general rule that the town is 100% roleplaying location.
Breaking Hub RPG rules will end in punishing player just like with standard 2238 rules.
Remember it will be just a one location (and a few support locations around town) so it's not
that hard to watch it.

Shouting might be forbidden, but mostly because the town isn't that big and I don't want
information to spread to quickly around town.

Town will be proclaimed 100% RP location with full GM power to apply consequences for character actions.
For example lifetime sentence in Hub Prison for serial killer if he will be caught. There will be a system for this
that I will describe later. Suicide Bombers will be assumed to permadie. Character with level < 5 won't be allowed.
However there will be a way for 1 level RP chars to gain access - 10k XP points for writing good character
background story.

If you won't like it, simply don't enter it. You have to simply accept that the town won't be the same anymore
as long as the project will run.

This is just anti-troll measures. I plan to make it interesting for people in town. Hub Project didn't really had much plan.
Some things will be run by GMs but players will be able to get involved. For example it will be possible to join Hub police.
But also it will be possible to be corrupt policeman or a mole of underground etc. Underground would have some jobs
to do - with real caps involved and a real risk.

Bad policemen can be fired or even put in jail.

On top of that there would be a bigger picture - town theme/setting and a big background town story that would be
moved forward when GMs had time to do it. There would be some big events that would move the story forward, and
some small "quests" for Story Characters that could move it forward as well. Some of the events would not be visible
or known only to a few people, but important in the future. Some other would be changing the whole town and the
life of characters in town in drastic way.

Of course it's just my vision Will the promise be fulfilled? No idea.

This will be some trouble, trying to keep troll alts out of the hub. Better hire a lot of hub police roleplayers

[JovankaB]

I hope most players won't try to destroy this project.
Controlling a single location however won't be that hard as long as a GM will be online.

Good background stroy you say?
How do troll/lazyman do it ? Copy/paste from RP forums story = win.

[JovankaB]

Good point Tomo, but I can use Google too. Besides story for Hub can't be just copy/paste.
It must  have references to the theme/setting I will write in Hub RPG manual and to Fallout
world in general. But I really don't want to make it contest who can outsmart who. 10k isn't
that much and if the character won't be roleplaying in Hub, it will be banned. So there really
is not much to win here and a lot to lose if I find out.

[Tomowolf]

I read the rules, but still I don't know if I can use existing character?
It won't need any skin, just need to know if it works with normal characters created before to roleplay purposes, but aint used.

Example background story for smart rat. (If anyone is interested)

It was a normal day in the wastes…. Scrappers were scrapping, raiders were raiding, and looters were looting. Nothing special was happening this day, At least nothing visible to normal wastelanders. Deep in the heart of the bone yard, in the basement of an old warehouse, wherein the mighty mother death claw once abided, there was something amiss.

A Hub scientist and a retired policeman were in the basement of the warehouse, trying to rid it of a rat infestation. The scientist tagged along with the NCR cop, because he knew this would be an opportune time to get a live sample for an experiment he was plotting. He carried a small cage in one hand and a 10mm pistol in the other hand. As they blasted their way through the swarms of rats, the scientist swiftly, but carefully scooped up a healthy young rat into his cage.

After the infestation was under control, the two men parted ways. The scientist was more then happy to leave without pay for the help he gave. The specimen he had collected was more than enough pay for him. Later at his lab, he pulled out from a cooling mechanism, a small sized brain, a child’s brain, so it seemed. Then, he put on thick leather gloves to protect himself from bites. He then removed the rat from the cage.
He knew brain transplants had to be done swiftly and accurately, for if a brain is out for too long, it will die, and the organs in the specimen would shut down.

   The scientist sliced and severed and grafted so quickly and accurately, that the experiment seemed almost too easy. A little over 6 hours later, the rat opened its eyes. It was a success! The brain had been successfully transplanted. The scientist did tests and more experiments for 2 years on the rat. It proved to be much more intelligent than a normal rat.

   Finally, the rat grew tired of being tested on. Although it was fed and taken well care of, it was not happy. With the newly acquired intelligence, the rat simply devised a plan to escape. With ease, in the middle of the night, the rat escaped. It now travels the wastes, using its intelligence to escape predators and find food.

These rules are just a draft. But yes you will be able to come and RP with any character
as long as it's has at least 5 level and name that doesn't look weird, eg: "p3wp3w". This
will be minimum to enter the town.

To have a chance to be part of some bigger GM-driven story in town you would have
to prepare your character description. Maybe there will be a template for this.
Otherwise you will be just treated as street crowd by GMs, you can still do whatever
you like though, join town projects, and face consequences of your actions.

There is spawn point near Hub, where some of new characters spawn. They will try to go to Hub, because they know nothing about the game, but according to manual, you can enter only from level 5 (or using RP story). How do you want to deal with this fact?

But nevertheless, thumbs up and thank you for trying to bring more RP to harsh wasteland...
