I would gladly participate in an RPG. It's been ages since I last participated in one.

It's really complicated, but it's not d20 based.  There's high customization capability, and you can have psychic powers, magic, and ki.

Uhm, that much I got from reading the TVTropes article. :P I meant something more along the lines of (example based on StarWarsD6):

The basis of the system is a six-sided die. Everything, including skills, attributes, damage, object toughness, etc. is defined as an amount of dice you roll for a test. To see if you succeeded, you compare the total of your roll with the difficulty number of the task.

You character has a number of attributes, including Strength, which defines both physical strength and toughness with one number, Perception (self-explanatory), Tech (defines how good the character is with machines), etc. He or she starts with a number of skills they are good at. Each skill is tied to an attribute. If a character wants to perform a task for which they have no skill, you simply roll the base attribute. If they have a skill, you add the skill dice to the attribute dice and roll them together. Each skill can also have a specialty, which has a much narrower field, but improves faster.

After each adventure the character receives a number of Character Points they can spend to improve their attributes and skills, or to learn a new one. Improving attributes is much more expensive than skills for obvious reasons, and the upgrade prices depend on the current score.

Please note that I haven't read the rulebook in a very long time, so the info above (particularly on Strength and skill specialties) might be inaccurate.

Wow. I should check this place more often (though I'm giing to have to cut down on my internet for a while). Sorry about Darkenning's problems.

RPGs are indeed fun, but I don't really know Anima.

Also, I probably shouldn't start a game at the moment (see earlier in the post).

It's kinda hard to put into words. It's d10 based, and stats are eith rolled for or point buy. There are 8 primary stas, and they control the secondary stats, like magic-affecting stats (mostly for summoned.

It's a point buy ability system. All level 1characters get 600 points to buy any ability. What class you picked dictate how much they cost. There's no cross classing because of this, or at least not much, since everything is available to you anyway, you just choose what to develop.

It does sound like fun, but I already have enough trouble as is.

Hey, I hadn't noticed it before, but after TV Tropes brought the Fanfic Recommendations pages, it left all the Negima fanfictions out.
What is the point anymore?

Yet the fanfic recommendations subpage of Negima remains. And the fics that got a page are still present in the fanfic section of the board.

Wait, are you saying fanfic recs got wiped out or is it still there?

Apparently, the link was deleted from the Fanfic Recs main list, but the Fanfic Recs link in the main Negima page is still valid.

Fear me!
When the fanfic recs got temporarily wiped for review, there were apparently some issues with the formatting and whoever reformatted the page missed a few links. I've put in a request to add it to the index. The page wasn't specifically targeted for deletion, it just didn't get restored properly.

Most likely, after all, I doubt they'd have the time to do so.

Pervert. Also, Witch.
Good thing I never posted Shota on its list of tropes. (I strongly suspect that Illya's presence is the reason that Fate/Stay Night got hit, and Tsukihime didn't.)

That's actually pretty damn plausible. It's fairly certain that Fast Eddie is hitting everything involving Shota and Loli tropes.

A blatant case of Did Not Do The Research then, since Ilya doesn't have any H-scenes at all.
