I have been inspired to run a pencil and paper rpg based on
The Kingdom of Loathing. So far it looks like I'll be using Tri-Stat d12 mixed with bits of my still in development roleplaying system.
To simulate ascension you will be able to purchase skills from every class but non-class skills will be harder to acquire.
Tri-Stat is class- and level-less so I will be using the experience table from my system.
Stats will increase like they do in HackMaster and like they will in my system: fractionally at each level.
Combat will be tri-stat instead of KoL to minimize paperwork.
I'm still not sure how to calculate HP and MP since they are calculated differenly in TS and KoL.
I could also use help converting the skills. I'm making good progress on Turtle Tamer. Once I finish it, I'll post the results here so others can help me with classes I'm not familiar with.
