Okay, modified the plot, putting in all the little details I could think of...And at the bottom is a link with various dangling plot ideas I've not been able to place yet. If you can help, please let me know. |

Why not have the link to that site listed as your webpage? |

Why, whatever do you mean, Alan? It already is my home page. Nope. Nothing to see here. I totally didn't edit my profile upon seeing Alans post. No sir. |

Disease should be all about the status effects, and Greed should deal damage based on how much gold the party has. Alright, at some point, disease and greed, already defeated, should come back, now aware of who they are, and combine together to become corruption. There should be different points in the story where you can make decisions, and depending on how you solve those, Corruption (if you include him as disease+greed) should be stronger or weaker. Possibly the number of treasure chests in houses you have opened should factor into this somehow. This could tie into what you have already said about the people in the houses getting upset about you taking their stuff. |

That....Is a freaking awesome idea. I had this other idea whereby to even get into some peoples houses required, like, befriending them, or breaking in, or something. But I like your thing better. |

It would also introduce an element into strategy. Rather than simply looting houses, people would have to check what's in the box and think "Is it really worth it to take this?" So there could be some items that it would be worth it to take, but they would have to be in the minority. Like in FFIX that old Grandma, if you take her 10 gil, she doesn't give you a fairly decent weapon with a pretty good skill in a later disc. |

Now all we gotta figure out is: How the hell are those characters to be introduced to the story? Any ideas? |

Disease could be a doctor at the hospital who takes patients and does experiments on them, and Greed could be a guy who seems at first to be like the tinymedal king from Dragon Warrior, but it later turns out that he's found a way to gain some sort of power by collecting the items he's sending you running for. You could meet him because you need one of his number collected rewards to advance the plot. |

Novel ideas...I was thinking something similar for Disease myself, actually. He/She(don't know or care really which) is at the place where the cure for Bel is, and there's this sickness in town. She says the cure is in the cave they gotta get into, but one of the generals has had it blocked off. The party get it unblocked, and find out that the kindly doctor they were helping was the one making people sick, and that they basically just let her get access to something that can make people really unwell...The General had recognised what was going on (but not who was to blame), and had the cave guarded to prevent things getting worse. Or something. But your idea works too. |

The status effects page isn't loading for me. And I think that the only reason my version for disease seems better is because that puts a party member at risk, what with being in a hospital and all. Really, being associated with a disease is better than just being a doctor. All I can think of to combine them would be if the doctor was testing new diseases out on patients to see which ones were the most deadly. |

what about if he is experimenting by using venom from various beasts, to explain how monsters do status effects. |

Must have copied the link in wrong.... Status effects. Very good Kurai. It does feel like a villains song. Okay...So, let's go with Newbs suggestion for that plotline. What happens after Bel gets cured? |

The thief character could be someone competing for one of greed's items that the party needed to get. |

You need something that boosts int and wis for those magic users that want their spells better. And I'm not sure what should happen there. I'm in my unproductive loop. When I enter the productive part of my cycle, I'll try to come up with something. |

Yeah, okay... I like Belles idea. Now we just need to find the link between Disease and Greeds storyline. |

Yeah, the toolkit can be a bit overwhelming when you first start using it. It has a sort of skeletal game engine. You can use it to make a game, but it probably doesn't exactly meet your needs. There might be some functionality you need to make it work. Hence, it's open source allowing for all sorts of subtle changes to the program. But. Is there anything in particular you're having difficulty with? Because I'm fairly experienced at working with it. |

Yeah, about that. If this latest version is like the others, the stats are very limiting. If I was to design the system, you would define what stats the characters could have. But this has the basic RPG stat-set minus speed points. So, you're gonna have to dive into the code a little and change how it saves/reads the character files. |
