D20 Life

I've been thinking a lot about how much better my life would be if it were more like a role-playing game. I call it D20: Life.

Okay, figure that you were a game character. Everything that you own is in the game. Have a laptop? So does your character.


You build your character based off of yourself. Using the six base stats and a variety of skills.
Any Item, weapon, or clothes that you have, your character also has.
Everything that you do, your character also does. After a fashion...
At the end of every day, you receive 1D6 -3 (minimum 0) ticks.

What's a "tick"?
A "tick" is a unit used to make you better. Figure it like this; everyday you have the potential to get better. Maybe you learned something new, maybe you worked out a little, or maybe you got a little happier. Ticks work as thus:

N + 1 = new level. If you have 4 dex, it will take 5 ticks to get to 5. 6 to get to 6 and so on.

So, make a character. Replay your life. If anyone else actually does this, we can do some pretty fun stuff.
