Some members of the French Wing of the RPG Massive have suggested that maybe it’d be possible to extract a SRD of Spelunk! and propose to make new classes or even hacks of it.
I thought about it a little and I think it’d be doable, even though there are some details I’m not sure how far I should go (for example: are all NPCs bound to be described as Hit Points + Damages + a motivation? doesn’t that narrow the possibilities a bit too much? should we abstract them even further and say “NPCs are two stats and a description of the thing they want the most”? And by doing that, isn’t it too far?)
What do you think about it, Scott?
