Borderlands inspired

[malmshodes]

I want to see something done that has a skill tree like in the borderlands games, were you have trees for different types of skills, and can't reach the higher skills until you've gotten enough from the lower levels. I don't think I want to do character classes, but instead a wide variety of trees that any character can gain points in. I don't really have anything set up yet, and am looking for a coGM or two to help figure everything out. I think I'd like it to be a sort of anything goes rp(magic, tech, mutations, etc, etc.)

As for the actual plot, I'm thinking a school, or training institution could be a good place to start. Maybe the characters are dimensional police. It could be done so there's different offices. Maybe even from competing nations, or organizations. Some characters could even play freelance. I guess it would be one of those, what are they called, Sandbox rps. Idk it's just a sort of spur of the moment thing.
