Depending on the time each day, edition used, and how much I can break the entire system....er, how fun I think it will be, I'd be game.
For the sake of my own convenience regarding Character Sheets, it'll be 4th edition. However, I understand the 4e is entirely flawed in its skill checks (as in, you sometimes need to fucking crit your perception to understand you're looking at a red shirt), so the skill checks would be homeschooled to mirror 5e. However, by allowed 4e it'd enable all players to have access to shit tons more of player races and classes to suit up in, as well as a shit ton more items and mounts to use too. I.e., 4e characters can be revenants that are already made into the system, or changelings, without going through the trouble of balancing these races out.
So essentially the way I'm going about it would be like making an expansion pack to all of 3.5e.
Also, because it's based off of the book I'm writing, all the D&D typical lore and mythology would be scrapped. But I would be dishing out all of the required background information to players once they are set with their characters. So just like how not everyone knows everything about the world, I will make sure that the players are restricted to that too so it'd be a learning experience as the RP progresses. You'll be able to learn more about my custom world as your progress and interact with it.
