Forums → Forum Games → Rock Raiders, Crystal Wars of Crotis 9 (BETA redo)

This is a tribute to the Lego Rock Raider sets that started 1999, but were dicontinued 2000. The only set I was able to get in those two short years wasn't a set actually: it was the PC game. Even though I can't find an old enough computer that will run it, I'm making this RPG as a remembrence, or such, to the Rock Raiders (I like the fact they have the Power Miners out now, but, seriously, 10 YEARS LATER!!!???)(Also, like title says, this is a BETA of upcoming Rock Raider forum games)
Date: June 20, 2500
Location: Quadrant 9, over looking the planet of Cortis 9

being spoken by Chief:
It has been 400 years since the Rock Raiders have returned to Earth. They have been able to succsesfully colonize 6 planets in 3 solar systems. They have come to this final planet before they journey home, but it seems that somebody has gotten ther first: holes drilled everywhere on the facing surface. A scout sent down to the surface said they were man-made. Looks like the Rock Raiders have been unknowningly been submitted to a crystal compettition, against a new band of miners, called the Power Miners. Before you are dropped onto the planet from the LMS Explorer, can you please tell us a little about yourself?:

Creatures of the Caverns

When you level up, you are able to buy better items to use. Your "aura" of level ing up will be sent through the caverns, like a plate of just-baked cookies in front of a fan. All creatures will compensate to your change.

Making Money
Doing quests, delivering ore and crystals, and defeating creatures give you money to buy stuff.

If you have any questions, please ask.



Here's another old one I'm bring back from the grave, along with three new classes. And I have a strange feeling that I might have too many RPGs at once, lol
